They charge me $4500 to cut and replace main drain. All ii needed was a good cleaning with snake. Sad to say but I won’t trust these folks

Rooter Hero came out on Sunday morning and unclogged our sewer line. Well done.

I submitted my concerns directly to the company hoping for a response, but received no response and then got a link to provide a review…So here it goes… In the positive, Rooter Hero came out for an evening emergency sewer clog and did successfully unclog the pipe. It’s what occurred and I learned in the follow up that generates the negative review. 1. I still have not received a statement for the services rendered. When I submitted these concerns via email, a downloadable pdf was sent, that wouldn’t download. Still no record of the transaction. 2. The service tech that showed up at my house, was not the one that was emailed to me as to who was coming. He did not show until the following day to camera the line. From a safety perspective, there is no value in notifying of who is coming if it’s going to change. 3. I was originally quoted $400+/- for snaking the line, but after a while was advised it wasn’t working and that hydrojetting was needed and the price tag went to $1600 +/-. I needed the sewer to function so I agreed. 4. The sewage pulled from the line was left in a pile by my clean out in my front yard and not removed/cleaned up. One might expect that for that amount of money, the full cleanup would be completed. 5. The following day, the original assigned service tech arrived to camera the line and advised the clog was from the older galvanized pipes (not the main sewer that was lined). Other follow up and mostly why I writing this… 1. I initially suspected the main line was the cause of the clog, so I reached out to the Trenchless company that had installed the liner a few years ago. They came out the same day. Stated that I was taken advantage of with the pricing of the service and that it absolutely was not the galvanized pipes. They cleaned up the sewage that was left by Rooter techs, cameraed the line and noted there was a bit of a lip between the connector and lined main sewer and would come back to fix it. And they subsequently have come back and fixed it. All at no charge as follow up to their original work. 2. I also called out my regular plumber when it was advised that the galvanized pipes were the cause to get a quote for resolving. He also came out the same day. Said similar about being taken advantage of by Rooter pricing and highly doubted that the hydrojetting was needed based on the sewage material that was pulled from the line. He also echoed the Trenchless company’s comment that there is nothing wrong with the galvanized pipes and the lip at the liner connection was the cause of clog. He cameraed the line at no charge to verify the conditions. Subsequently, I pulled some average pricing for the services they performed and they are landing about half to 2/3rds of what I paid. Even at emergency off hours. Not great business practices….and their competitors know it and are sharing it out. Then to provide a cause of the clog inaccurately to what? Persuade me to pay for a repair that isn’t needed? Definitely questionable business practices. So, yes in an emergency situation they delivered…but BUYER BEWARE!! Less

Plumber showed up as promised but he was not a hero for us after all. He was asked to fix a leak in the shower valve and after placing a new part the valve was still leaking. So, he said that he cannot fix it and we need to replace the entire valve and he gave us a $3,200 estimate for just one shower valve replacement. So, we decided not to spend that kind of money on one shower valve. So, he cha... More

This is for Rooter Hero. Had to have kitchen drain cleared. Tried several times, said didn't work. That was $159 Then used another machine that was Now $700, they put camera down, then said everything was clear. Noah was pleasant and helpful

Our service was outstanding!!!! Troy was amazing and I highly recommend him.

Great workers and the fix results are perfect. A+

As a property manager that was in need of an emergency repair over the weekend I reluctantly called the local Rooter hero. I had previously use them in another location with a positive result. This, however, was nothing but. The Plumber was very inexperienced, caused additional damage, left several times to go back to the shop or to a store to get materials wound up being there for Hours until 1030 at night and finally got the water back on. It was simply just a cut and cap off scenario. He also recommended thousands of dollars to replace a section of pipe that was completely unnecessary. The next week with our regular plumber back on track, the repairs were made for less than $500 and no need to replace the Pipe suggested by this plumber. Beware. Less

I will leave a positive remark when you come back to fill in the hole you left me in the corner of my lawn.

He assured me that with the extra charges of over $300 they would provide me with a digital copy of the video. They took off the toilet, couldn't get the camera into the main and then went up on the roof. Cody/boss suggested that the line needed trenchless repairs and that he would send the video and an estimate within 24 hours. I never received a video or an estimate. I called 4 days later 1 week later and 10 days later the first 2 where they reassured me it was on the way and since then no communication. I had to pay a second plumbing company to come out and do a video of the line Even after five phone calls requesting services they sent me this prompt to leave a review…? Arrrgh. Less

i thought per our conversation on way or there you would send me the check for $152.00 back to me because of job did NOT help me sinisterly Roy Shakeri

They showed me a video that they said they took underneath my house that showed major water leakage and feces on the ground. When I looked at the video, I knew immediately that this was a scam as the video was not from my house. After they left I called another local plumber that cleared the blockage for $250. He also did a camera scan of the entire system and found no other problems. Less

If you saw what he had to deal with you would agree with HERO status!

Fast & quick service , would call them again if needed !

We replaced our water heater and upon changing valves/lines there was a leak inside the wall pipe that we could not get out on our own. We called and within 1-2 hours we got someone over. He did a great quick job on removing the broken pipe, and helping us finish installing our water heater. We are super grateful 🙏 for the help and the hot showers.

We have used Candu for several projects on different occasions, and have always found them to be responsive, prompt, reliable, communicative, efficient, and reasonably priced. They have detected and fixed a problem with our water pressure, rooted out clogged sewer lines, and installed a new low-flow toilet. Would definitely recommend.

Very professional, friendly and prompt service. Will definitely call them in the future.

The plumber that I hired was Albert. He was very helpful, and he knew exactly what to do and how to do it. He didn't even hesitate to clean up the mess that he made while working on my pipes in the bathroom.

Fixed gas pipe leak. Extremely professional, courteous, excellent communication, thorough, respectful of personal property and very hard working. Would unequivocably recommend.

Great service. Luis came over to do work not only in my condo but also in my primary residence. I would recommend Luis and Candu plumbing as a courteous and dependable plumber.

Arial and Louie were the two plumbers who helped me with my clogged shower. They were friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable. They made the repairs within 20 minutes. Will definitely call them again in the future. Thank you for great customer service!

Let me be very honest. Me and my family are super high maintenance and Candu plumbing knocked it out of the park! Don’t waste your time with silly call directory plumbers. I spoke with Benny who was very sweet on the phone and she sent out George who was amazingly punctual and did a great job! Thank you guys so much!!

They came out for no charge. Came back with item needed and installed quickly for a charge.

Repaired a leak in the wall behind the showerhead on 7/25/22. So far, so good!

Adrien and Tony arrived on time and provided great service repairing a faucet/fixture. They also were able to come several days before other plumbers. Very good representatives of Candu!

The service was excellent, the workers were very pleasant and did a very good job. Would call them back again Great job…thank you

The only plumber I use!

Super friendly on the phone, trustworthy onsite service.

We've been calling Candu Plumbing for all of our plumbing needs since the beginning of the pandemic and they are the best! Reasonably priced, professional, and always hard working. Shoutout to Albert and Ariel for coming to check out our faucet and fixing it up!

Manny and Ariel did an amazing job replacing an old bathroom faucet as well as some of the related corroded pipes. They were very professional, upfront, and fair as the job turned out to be quite an undertaking. I would definitely use them again in the future, and recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy plumber locally.

Right on time, very professional, dressed professional did the work very quick and clean. They went out of their way to find parts needed and got the job completely done. I would recommend them to everyone.

Adrian and Tony were both super friendly, quick, and professional. I have already booked again for additional repairs I have been putting off.

Candu plumbing is the Winner! Had a leak in planter in front of my house. They showed up on time, wearing masks . Polite and Honest, they didn't try to sell me something I didn't need. I appreciate that! I will now use Candu for all my future plumbing needs or projects. Good people! Thanx again guys, take care, RG

Adrian, Tony and their colleague were brilliant. They understood the problem immediately and just got on and fixed it. The estimate was the same as the charge and included tax. I’d use them again without hesitation.

Adrian and Tony were very professional and friendly! Very reasonable price and clean work!

Problem fixed. Great price. Speedy Friendly and Knowledgeable plumbers. Would definitely use these guys again!! 👍

Adrian and Tony were on time, polite and very professional. I was also very impressed with the support team who I talked to on the phone. Excellent service and great results!

I will share this on every website and contact HOAs managements in area to WARN THEM. CONSUMER BEWARE - CANDU PLUMBING ARE RECKLESS & WILL REQUIRE YOU TO HIRE OTHER PLUMBER TO FIX THEIR WORK. They were contracted by a remediation company after a leak from the above unit. They put in a faulty valve that I had no way of knowing until the wall had to be broken in again because of another leak from above. Leak was not from above it was actually from the faulty work that Candu Plumbing did over a year ago. They do not back their work and they say they only have a six month warranty but how are you supposed to know how they caused you more problems if there is no way to see the work unless you break the wall that’s just been fixed! I had a plumber and Remediation company look at the valve and they both say it was because of Candu Plumbing shotty work. Both these companies will never hire Candu Plumbing for their clients. I suggest you never hire them either. Pass it on. Less

Both times we've called Candu, they've been onsite and able to help within the same day. Luis and Angel have been great both times, solved our issues and left us cleaned up and happy!

Chris was knowledgeable, professional and did a good job. He also explained the issues well

I would highly recommend this company. They were not just good at their job but they were fast, friendly and kind. I will definitely use them again!

I am a repeat customer and will continues to use Candu indefinitely. They continuously show up in a timely manner when I am in dire need and they have proven to be entirely competent with every challenge faced. Their professionalism has provided me with complete trust in their abilities and in their treatment of my home.

Adrian and Tony from Candu were terrific — professional, polite, friendly and happy to answer our questions. We highly recommend this plumbing company.

He was on time, explained things before he worked on things and it was reasonably priced.

Quality business. Appointment scheduled for the same day. Two gentlemen from Candu plumbing showed up. Albert and Ricardo. Very professional and trustworthy. They fixed the problem. Highly recommend this business.

I called Candu Plumbing to install a Bidet and within 2 hours they sent technician to check it out and installed it right away. Highly recommended.

Easy and friendly

Albert & Ariel were great and got the job done quick and fast which was helpful with a newborn in the house

Albert and his team are great. Will use them in the near future for a new water heater

Pressure regulator

They were honest and professional.

Good

CJ was on time and very professional. His knowledge and honesty regarding our plumbing issues made me feel at ease. I always ask for CJ when we have plumbing issues because of the quality of work, knowledge and how he carries himself so professionally.

excellent customer service clean friendly punctual very knowledgeable and competitive pricing

I've used Candu to build my home, and they were awesome. Fair prices, great work, responsive, on time, they are my go to plumber and I've recommended them to everyone I know who needs a plumber.

Very professional, and knowledgeable

Water lines were repiped & their team did an amazing job! Highly recommend CANDU! Super clean, professional, & trustworthy!

I had little plumbing work at my home. I had contacted many other plumbers to fix the issue which I was facing and no one gave a sensible solution. Candu Plumbing & Rooter identified the issues correctly and did all the repair work with good quality and minimum cost, in terms of replacing parts. Overall I am very happy with his work and behavior and I strongly recommend him for any plumbing work.

I will absolutely be calling Candu for my plumbing needs in the future! Not only were they willing to fit me in for a same day appointment and thoroughly take care of the job/answer all of my questions, Ariel and Albert treated me with so much care and respect. Good people and I’ll be reaching out to use their services again.

These guys are the best plumbing company we have ever used. They are responsive, professional and the price they gave me was within budget! The repairs were done quickly and neatly. I LOVE CANDU PLUMBING!!!

Had a clogged sink over the weekend, called Saturday morning and they had a knowledgeable tech come out and help me out. They were quick and efficient they even cleaned up after they left! Will use again and tell my friends and family about them.

I love Candu! Ariel, the owner, came with the technician Jonathan to first inspect the job needed to be done. They were so friendly and knowledgeable...AND dog friendly!! They wore masks and put these little booties on over their boots so they would trample dirt in the house. Love them!

Albert and his team did an absolute fantastic job. 100% would hire this company again.

Highly recommended Chris is very professional Quick, efficient and to the point
