"Rescue Rooter was fabulous!! We needed a plumber after hours on a Friday night "
I recently moved into a new apartment here in the brantford area and we’ve had some issues with the plumbing even after it was all renovated. First issue the original contractors didn’t install the wax seal correctly so there was water pouring out from the bottom of the toilet. The building called steve down and he had the issue fixed in about 30 minutes… ripped it right out and had it back up and running. He’s a down to earth, hard working guy who knows how ti get the job done right. We had a 2nd issue a couple weeks later and the pipes had clogged up and it was backing up in the tub, the building called a different plumber. I wasn’t nearly as happy with this plumber as they were late to the call, and only did a temporary fix…. I recommended a more heavy duty snake and was told what he had would work. The issue persisted a week later and I had requested the building to bring back that Scottish plumber back since I respected his work and his personality and punctuality so much (these were weekend emergency calls and he was there within the hour) and I knew he would get it done. Steve arrived again with his hilarious, hardworking attitude and got my issue fixed properly once again in no time. He took one look at the issue brought the heavy duty snake and did it properly. Steve is the man, coming from a trades background myself (hvac)…. Good, honest, hard working people are hard to come by now a days, and let me say Steve is one of them. Your very lucky to have him as an employee. Thanks Steve !!!
During the long Canada Day weekend we had a mysterious dripping begin to appear in the ceiling in our living room; one which began to increase in frequency and travel down the ceiling. We were very worried about the cause of the leak, the resulting damages, and the intrusive work needed to find the source of the leak. We called in Rescue Rooter as soon as possible. The plumber they sent, Steve, was able to diagnose the source and cause of the leak within minutes. He was able to discover and fix the issue with a minimal intrusion to the drywall. He worked quickly and cleanly, repairing the issue within an hour: it had been a pinhole leak in a pipe leading to the bathtub. The quality of the repair has been exceptional. Steve was courteous, knowledgeable, and quite personable! He was a very positive person and was a joy to work with. The issue was fixed before the entire ceiling could have been ruined by the leak. We are grateful to Rescue Rooter for sending someone at such short notice who was able to repair the issue so thoroughly. We would definitely call them again.
It’s been two years and two days since Steve solved our kitchen sink dilemma. The waste disposal was clogged with years of misuse and lack of maintenance by previous owners. Now, nothing could be done to drain the swamp. A phone call was made, and Steve arrived in very short order. The time was short. Not Steve. Steve is a sizeable guy. “How”, I asked myself, “is he going to get under the sink?” Steve has obviously seen this situation before. In mere minutes, he had surgically removed the tangle of tubes, and replace it with a glossy black system that rapidly removed the water right out of the sink and took it to a place far away. Amazing. Sadly, those precious pipes were removed yesterday. The faucet had failed, again, and the sink just wasn’t keeping that shine anymore. They had to be replaced. But the new sink didn’t align with Steve’s fine fittings. New pipes were plumbed. Oh, well. It’s all water under the bridge now. Thanks, Steve. Thanks Rescue Rooter.
First of all the gentleman that came here was exactly that, a gentleman. When he originally came to do the quote he gave me an honest quote at very reasonable price. Very refreshing because not two weeks before that I had another company come in to do some work and was ripped off severely. When he came to do the job he was on time, and in a great mood. He completed the job in an extremely timely fashion, he was informative on the work that he was doing. When he was finished he cleaned up after himself, left no garbage and even vacuumed. He installed the shower unit that I supplied but he still took the garbage with him even though he didn't bring it. In the end he was true to his word, my quote was my bill, no hidden fees! The shower unit looks amazing! I would never hesitate to use this company and especially not hesitate using this employee again I hope for their sake they cloned him!
Rescue Rooter was fabulous!! We needed a plumber after hours on a Friday night ... not ideal right?! We called 3 places and although we spoke to someone, nobody was available that evening EXCEPT RESCUE ROOTER came to the RESCUE! I called and spoke with a lovely lady who dispatched their on call and then within 10 minutes I received a call from Steve. He was at our house in 20 minutes and was a pure delight (the Scottish accent is an added bonus!!). The work was done within minutes and the experience was comfortable and knowledgeable. He explained what he was doing the entire time and even helped with some other questions about the new house ... We will be contacting them again in the near future and requesting that Steve come back and re-do the plumbing for our laundry room reno :) Fantastic service!!! Thanks Steve and the Rescue Rooter Team!
I had a leak coming from my secondary water valve that controls the outside water and it happened on the day when I was due for sprinkler guys to come over and activate my sprinkler system and I was getting worried and i had a massive leak all over my basement carpet and due to covid 19 I was unable to go to the stores right away to shop on parts and equipment. So I called rescue rooter and they sent Steve the technician over to my house. Steve arrived in a short time and he was very friendly and professional and plus he educated me about repairing and replacing both of my secondary water valves to control the outside water. I saved time and money and i was very greatful that rescue rooter managed to come on the same day. Thank you Steve and the Rescue Rooter company.
I called Rescue Rooter because l was having an issue with my toilet backing up. The plumber they sent arrived on time and introduced himself as Wade. He was very respectful and immediately removed his work boots upon entering my home. He was very patient and responded to all my questions and concerns and explained that it could be tree roots that were causing the problem. He very carefully and in a professional manner proceeded to remove my toilet and snake my sewer. After finishing, he carefully replaced my toilet and thoroughly cleaned up after himself. My toilet has never worked better. I highly recommend this company and would like to personally thank Wade for his courteous behavior and professional work.
On a Sunday afternoon I found myself with two fully blocked kitchen sinks.... panicking I phoned this company and had a wonderful experience. The young man Wade who attended my apartment was so professional and friendly. He was so concerned about the blockage in my unit that after seeing the blockage in my sinks went to check in on my elderly disabled neighbour; who also had overflowing sinks but didn't even realize it. What AMAZING customer service and support to even consider another especially during the covid pandemic. If you are in need of quality service, professionalism and the job done right do not hesitate to call this company. Thank you Wade you are a true gentleman and a fantastic plumber!
Called 5.45 pm and explained my basement was flooded. Water was pouring in from the drain. Was told the technician was on a job and would be there as soon as he was finished and that he would call. Waited all night but he never came. We spent 5 hours with a shop vac carrying water upstairs to put outside. Called again at 8 in the morning and they gave me 3 different times, with 3 different phone calls. When the technician came he was excellent and he sorted the problem out. He told us he never got the call or he would have come out immediately as he was not busy that evening. If we had known no-one was coming we would have called someone else instead of 2 seniors carrying heavy water for 5 hours.
Amazing! Hubby and I literally planned out a weekend to “fix” and try to clean the two sinks that were causing us trouble. BUT I took a chance and thought I’d try contacting another plumber - the first one told us we weren’t worth the effort (ouch). Holy S, we were we impressed. I’m going to give a shout out to Scott because although Steve is a fan favorite, Scott is absolutely awesome. Not only did he clear two sinks that were not only full of hair but told us where my make up went - 3 years later. Thank you to my cats. Steve is awesomesauce and absolutely fabulous. He also fixed our two outdoor faucets that were leaking. I’m sold - this is a great company to deal with .
I have never written a review, however, I felt personally compelled to write one on behalf of one of your technicians, named Wade. It is very rare these days to find someone, who is willing to take the time to explain the process, and answer all of the questions we had. Wade came by to fix our sink, and made it look effortless. He was diligent and efficient, in unclogging our sink. He was also very knowledgable, and provided us with various options, for one of our other plumbing inquiries. If we require any plumbing needs in the future, we will definitely be sure to use a Rescue Rooter, and specifically request Wade. Thank you for providing such exceptional service!!
The gentleman who came in today to investigate and repair my toilet leak was truly exceptional. He came in early, with all equipment ready, wearing a mask according to COVID recommendations. He took the time to explain the problem and was able to problem solve expertly when my toilet apparently had a retro-fit which made the repair a little less straight forward. He made recommendations and explained why he was replacing parts that were soon to fault. He cleaned up completely and tested his work to insure all was well. I would not hesitate to recommend this company, in particular, the skilled tradesperson who made my toilet work like new! Thanks for a great job.
I had a bad kitchen sink clog which wouldn’t clear after trying traditional methods. I called Rescue Rooter around 5:30pm and they picked up my call right away. A plumber called me back within minutes and knew exactly what the issue was. Steve showed up the next day before the scheduled time and just his positive attitude made my day. He quickly inspected the issue and got to work on the resolution by installing a cleanout fitting and snaking the main stack. Truly appreciate the quick response, and professionalism of this company. I hope that they can maintain this level of quality service for all customers and even for my future needs! Highly recommended!
I was doing some last minute cleaning for a home inspection to take place the next day when I discovered some dampness under my kitchen sink. Even tho my condo was only 3 years old a small crack happened in my pvc tubing. I simply called Rescuerooters and thankfully reception told me a plumber would come shortly with estimate and ability to repair on the spot. Kevin, very polite, efficient and easy going went to work on the project which was moderately priced. He even had to retrieve a specialized tool back at the office in order to finish the job. Thanks Kevin and Rescuerooters I'll certainly recommend your company to anyone who needs plumbing help.
Wade was incredibly professional, showed up shortly after I called and got the job done very well and quite fast. Have had the same problem since I purchased my house 5 years ago, every 6 or 7 months the drain backs up, I call a plumber to clear it up, pay them and theyre gone. This time I tried a new plumbing company. Wade thoroughly explained to me what he did and why it was a recurring issue that no other plumber previous had bothered to scope out. Its a rarity these days to see somebody like Wade that understands and helps ease the homeowners concerns. 10/10, could not speak more highly! Thank you to A Rescue Rooter and especially Wade!
Rescue Rooter is my go to plumbing company! We have used their service 3 times over the years. Recently they installed a new toilet in our basement. We had provided the new toilet which turns out was defective. They were extremely responsive to reinstall once I dealt with getting a replacement. On another call, they addressed a sump pump issue that wasn't turning off. As I was going on vacation, they came quickly and turns out it was a simple fix. Different plumbers on all 3 calls and all very competent and pleasant. Office staff were also very pleasant and responsive when I've called them.
After calling three other plumbers and having no-shows/not having our call returned etc. we were starting to worry we would never be able to get a plumber to show up. Our first call will now be to Rescue Rooter moving forward. Extremely grateful for Rescue Rooter's professionalism, timeliness, and the overall quality of their work. We were extremely appreciative of Steve's customer service and liked how he explained everything he was doing and why. Would highly recommend! Last, my three year old was completely wowed by their truck. Thanks again for the great work/experience!
Another great review for aRescue Rooter!! We had Rodger come in today to scope our pipes after the emergency appointment over the weekend. Much like Dwayne, Rodger was friendly, professional, and very helpful. He was able to see the damage, and recommend how to proceed from here. Everything was cleared! He also gave us valuable advice on future renovations we have! Again, we would like to highly recommend this company to anyone needing a honest, knowledgeable, and professional plumber! Thanks again!
The entire experience, from the initial phone call to the final payment, was absolutely perfect. The call about our blocked drain was received politely and a technician was dispatched to our house within the estimated time, which was rather quickly. The technician was professional in every sense, taking time to fix the problem, communicating the issue, and interacting with household members in a polite and friendly way. I will definitely use this service again and recommend them highly.
Steve and Wade came out a did a fair bit of work for us including drain cleaning, excavating part of the basement floor, and replacing some original cast iron pipe that was rotted through. They were professional and friendly. Their work was great, they were as upfront as they could be about cost, and they left everything nice and clean. Thanks to Rodger also. We had an excellent experience with a rescue rooter and would glady call them again - just hopefully not too soon!
Steve was a great help when we called first in February and then again more recently. He and his crew repaired our broken pipes in our basement that were causing a bad sewer backup. The guys were VERY professional in the work,answered any questions we had,and put our minds at ease as we were very upset, frustrated at what had happened. Our past dealings (4) with RESCUE ROOTER have always been great with no complaints. I would highly recommend them to family,friends.
Steve is a great plumber with a super humour. He discovered the source of my leak in a few minutes: the water pipeline that ran through all the old baseboard heat units in my 65 yr old house from a furnace that had not been in use since 2013. The installer of my hot air furnace 9 yrs ago had not shut off the water source nor drained the water. What came out was rusted fluid running down the walls. I recommend RESCUE ROOTER 100% for anyone's plumbing needs.
We called about some plumbing issues and, though not an emergency, the team arrived later that same day. Our main worker is an apprentice named Ben. He was incredibly efficient, determined, friendly and smart. Between the two men, all of our issues were fixed to above expectations and at a price we thought was extremely fair. We have used Rescue Rooter in the past and will continue to call them whenever we need to.
Excellent customer service. Called in for service which turned into emergency service and the kind office staff had plumber arrive right away. Plumber was excellent and went above and beyond to help the kids with their flooding basement while the city tried to locate the water shut off valve from the street. Really appreciate all you did for us. Highly recommend this company. Service was out of Brantford office
I called Rescue Rooter this morning after a surprise rusty pipe and leak in our kitchen and I couldn't be more impressed with the speed and professionalism of the fix. Sean arrived even more quickly than I expected and laid out our options really clearly - he helped avoid future issues for us with his advice and the fix was super quick. I will definitely use a Rescue Rooter again and would recommend to others.
We should have posted this review a while back, but since Steve and the Rescue Rooter team fixed a pipe for us today, I was reminded to share our positive experience with them last year. We had a low water flow issue from a bathroom faucet. Steve was able to track the problem to an old corroded pipe in a wall. He repaired it efficiently and relatively inexpensively. We highly recommend Steve and Rescue Rooter.
I had Steve of Rescue Rooter in today to do a variety of plumbing jobs. He not only did a great job of fixing everything I needed done, but did it all in good time and was friendly and knowledgeable. It was a pleasure having such a good professional in my home and also my father’s where I needed some work done. We are both very happy with everything and will definitely have him in to do any future work.
Scam. Had them snake my main drain. Big old Scottish guy said he could only get 1" auger bit through my 4" pipe, because the pipe was broken and needs to get dug up and replaced asap. A few months later, Phil Groves got a 4" bit to go through no problem. The put a camera through and showed me that it is in great shape! So either they don't know how to use their gear properly, or their just scammers.
Rescue Rooter will be the only plumber I call going forward. We had a flood in our bathroom overnight and woke up to a broken pipe. Rescue Rooter is the only company that answered the phone on Sunday morning and called back with a promise to send someone within a few hours. Mike showed up early and was able to fix everything in just over an hour. Friendly reliable service and good pricing.
I used "A Rescue Rooter" for the first time. My plumber in Ancaster referred me to this company. From the first phone call to the plumber, Roy, showing up at my house on time, the whole experience was seamless. I found the office staff and Roy (Plumber) to be very professional and highly knowledgeable. It was money well spent and an experience that will stay with me for a long time.
Very professional and friendly. I had 3 guys by the name of Sean, Steve, and Mike. As a first time home buyer running into plumbing issues and needing quick action they came to my house the night of and investigated and found the root cause. Came back the following morning and repaired at a reasonable cost. Cleaned up afterwards as well. Highly recommend. Thank you!
Wade came to unblock my basement drain. He was so pleasant and professional while explaining what he was doing. The drain was finally unblocked and Wade recommended next steps and gave me a quote. No pressure tactics or unnecessary products. I will not hesitate to use this company again and will tell family and friends to call them too. Thanks for the great service!
Wouldn't recommend. Had a leak coming out of our drain pipe. Plumber showed up, charged us $300 to snake it. Did not fix the leak. He said it looks like its a bigger problem thatll run us close to $1500 to dig up the concrete to put a new pipe in... Called a friend in for a second opinion and turns out the pipe just wasnt glue to the other one. Fixed in 20 mins.
Called on a Sunday with a backed up main drain and Mikey was here within 2 hours to get our main drain unclogged; one of the biggest nightmares for any home owner! Fast, professional and a better price than I've had before for the same service a number of years ago. And that's on a Sunday no less. Definitely keeping these guys in my address book.
I dealt with Steve, right from the start he came in a timely fashion, put me at ease as my stress level was high due to a flood. Very professional! As well he made me feel like we were lifelong friends. Repair was done quickly he was knowledgeable I felt completely satisfied with the service he and his company provided. Would definitely recommend!
Called Rescue Rooter to remove the old plumbing under the kitchen sink and to clear 2 drains. Sean was here on time ( early actually) was courteous , did a professional job, was fairly priced and left nothing to clean up. This is the third time we have used Rescue Rooter and would highly recommend using this company , no surprises!
We needed the kitchen faucet replaced... Emailed Rescue Rooter and within minutes they called. Two hours later Steve an Ethan were here to replace the faucet. The job was completed professionally. We were very impressed with the responsive time frame and quality of their work. Well Done! Thank You... Steve and Ethan
Had a very serious sewer back up in my basement! Called rescue rooter, a neighbour recommend the company! There technician wade was very knowledgeable and prompt to arrive! The amount of tree roots was unimaginable! This company definitely gets my 5 star rating and I highly recommend this company to any home owner!
The Technician, Steve was very professional, friendly and courteous. He informed me of each step and why he was taking that step throughout the process. He was efficient, cheerful and cleaned up thoroughly after the work was completed. I have my kitchen sink back in working order. Thank you! Ken - Burlington, ON
Sean came over to evaluate the situation with our kitchen and provide a FREE quote which is something that is unheard of when it comes to plumbers! Every other plumber wanted to charge a flat fee just to come out. Thankyou for the excellent service and quote, I will definitely be using your services.
Absolute top notch service! We had an issue with drainage at our restaurant and these guys showed up in an instant to fix it.They fixed our problem quickly and at an extremely reasonable rate. Highly recommend this company to others requiring emergency service. 10/10 company.
Had issues with our pipes backing up in the basement. Benjamin was our plumber he was amazing, very kind and patient with my parents which their English is not the best. They loved him! Was very knowledgeable and did an excellent job. Would highly recommend their service.
I called Rescue Rooter to install three new toilets in my home. The technician arrived in full protective gear (gloves, mask) and was mindful of social distancing. I was happy that he left the work area neat and clean. I had a great experience and I will use them again.
Also Installed an access pipe in laundry room for us. Steve was extremely professional. He explained everything and made a dreadful situation with a clogged pipe very pleasant somehow ♀️ Thanks Steve for your expertise, efficiency and friendly manner …
I live in a building and my toilet wasn't working so they called rescue rooter. The man that came to fix our issue was polite professional kind and in my opinion went above and beyond cleaning up afterwards thank you we appreciated your services today …
When we flooded our basement Steve was the only plumber willing to make the trip out so late in the evening! Lovely worker, very efficient and even stayed for dinner after fixing our flood! Would 100% recommend his service to anyone in need of repairs
Steve came quickly and was very pleasant to deal with. He explained my options and found a way to work within my budget. I was very happy with the service and will use it again. He did a quality job and I am very happy to have my sink working again!
So happy I called Rescue Rooter. Andrew was extremely friendly, professional and answered all my questions. He was patient, didn’t rush and came up with a solution for our problem. Great service, would call back for any plumbing needs in the future.
Right off the back this company was fantastic to use, from the moment we called to fixing the problem with our toilet. Shaun was AMAZING ! He was masked up and gloves on as soon as he arrived to our house, he walked us through every step of
I had a major sewer backup in my basement and I didn't know what to do. I contacted various companies and told them the situation, never could get a definitive answer from anyone until I called Rescue Rooter. Rescue Rooter was the only one
Rodger from your Hamilton location was here and I want to say how pleased I was with the service he provided on behalf of your company. We had a completely blocked sewer line and the City of Hamilton contacted your company to help. Rodger

Rescue Rooter was absolutely fantastic ! Stephen was such a nice person and he was so professional. This plumbing company will for sure be on our speed dial going forward, we were so impressed !!!!
They were sent by the city to assist us after street construction issues. The person they sent was super friendly and done in about 15-20 mins. Everyone in the house is so unbelievably thankful!!
Steve was professional and friendly. He had to make a second trip because the faucet I bought was defective but he came back when promised to finish the job. Great service from Rescue Rooter.
