Sewer Main Clearing
Yes, I recommend this pro
At times, may get a delay in completion.
Response from Aardvark Rooter, Inc.
"Carol, Thank you very much for your business. I apologize for not getting back to you sooner for the jetting work. I only have one man (Don) and he is very busy so sometimes we have to prioritize our work. He is currently doing emergency work for another person without a sewer. As I mentioned to you on the phone we will try to get back to you as soon as possible. Let us know if your system fails and we will get someone out there right away,"

These guys are great, they do real good work at a very reasonable cost. We had them do work in the past [ sewer, hot water heater, leak repair etc. ] So we just hired them for complete re pipe of water service Street to faucets. They also found a small gas pipe leak which they repaired. Quality material and excellent work. Our house is very old but these guys are totally up for the challenge. W will be calling on them in the future to ad a second bathroom as well.

Would have been more stars especially for the owner Fred who was courteous and very willing to listen to our needs. But the two workers he sent were as different as night and day from each other. One did all the work was very nice and amiable and the other one knew it all and never shut up to let us explain what additional help we needed. The install of our toilet was right on. The installer knew what to do, did it and was polite and helpful. The other installer talked himself right out of additional jobs and more income because he wanted to suggest what might be wrong and really hadn't inspected the faucets under the kitchen counter and troubleshoot first or just ask what we wanted them to do. He was quite obnoxious actually. So we told him never mind and we'd just go with the toilet install. He even degraded his boss by telling us Fred wasn't their boss he was just the owner and doesn't know about plumbing, they did all the work and knew what they were doing... WHAT???? Price for installing the new toilet was reasonable however the cost for adding a 20.00 flange and bolting it to the floor for an additional 125.00 seemed excessive. But what's a person to do... kinda behind a rock and a hard spot, right? Job went from 375.00 to over 500.00 :-( Cleaned up afterward and did a nice install on the toilet. Would consider using again only if a different installer was sent.

Comparable pricing to other plumbing companies. Our repair was not "urgent" but they were still able to send a plumber within an hour to do our repair. Fast, reliable, fair pricing. Would use again & recommend.

I called and was able to get an appointment for an estimate the same day. I was then able to schedule for the work to get completed within 2 days. This was not an emergency call so it wasn't time critical. The men were efficient getting the work done. I will hire them again for any future plumbing needs.

Fred did a great job explaining what he felt needed to be done and pricing estimates, no one would even come close to discussing the issues with me just wanted to send someone out.

We needed work done immediately in order to have house close on time (we were selling). Very good customer service by all. As to the price I cannot say whether good or not as I have nothing to compare to. It did seem reasonable to me, however.
Response from Aardvark Rooter, Inc.
"Thank you for the kind review Donna! Glad we could help you out, please call us any time. What is with Home Advisor? 5.0 Quality+ 5.0 Customer Service+ 5.0 Value for Money 5.0 = 4.5 Average. Just tries very hard to make the evaluation scores confusing to the customers! 5.0 is 5.0 is 5.0 is 5.0 come on.........."

Down to earth. Advised they weren't needed hooked me up with others. Appreciate there upfront knowledge. No charge. How cool.
Response from Aardvark Rooter, Inc.
"Quality 4.5, Service 5.0 and Value for Money (we didn't charge him anything)2.5 Total Points equals 12 divided by 3 categories is 4.0 RATING but Home Advisor Pro gives you a 3.5. Someone must be math challenged! Poor support from Home Advisor for their qualified contractor."

I liked the fact that I was kept informed about everything that was happening and it was explained to me in detail and all of my questions were answered and not rushed through. Thanks.
Response from Aardvark Rooter, Inc.
"Am I missing something here? Quality 5.0, Customer Service 5.0, Value 5.0 = 4.5? Can someone call (consumer name withheld per their request) to see if this is what she said? Is there a math problem at HAP? We really appreciate (consumer name withheld per their request)taking the time to do this rating. We also enjoyed working with (consumer name withheld per their request) Thanks again and let us know if we can help anytime."

Drain Clog or Blockage Clearing
$355
They cleared one of two drains. The 2nd drain they put the auger right through the trap. It sounded like they did and they even stated they thought they went through. But one of the guys said he went into the crawl space and it was fine. Two weeks later I go down there and see the carnage. I called them but was told the damage was my problem. I don't agree. If he actually went into the crawl space he would have seen the damage to the trap and would have been able to see the water spewing out the gash they created. Oh the drain wasn't cleared either, the auger never got that far. So they wanted to charge me to fix their mess , but no thanks , I've learned my lesson. So I fixed the destroyed trap myself. I would never recommend these guys!
Response from Aardvark Rooter, Inc.
"Sorry about this problem Joseph. Here is the problem, you have a stainless p-trap made of inferior material that was over 10 years old. That drain was doomed to fail as soon as we tried to cable. Our invoice states under "Limitations of Liability"that ARI is not responsible for (b) defective, damaged, or deteriorated lines, mold,lead piping, or other unexpected or undisclosed conditions, and the consequences of such conditions. On the day we did the work we could not confirm there was damage in the line,we did the work at your place on the 18th of July and you didn't call us back until July 30th so you didn't notice a problem yourself for over 12 days. When we offerred to come back out on the weekend, you wouldn't allow us to put in a new trap and make the pipe accessible to finish cabling. It seems unfair to me that you'd be mad at us because your pipe was insufficient, decayed and brittle. We can't foresee that problem when you are asking us to stick a cable down the drain. I'm sorry you don't understand that the problem was your pipe to begin with. As you said the other line cleared and 1/2 of the job was just as you expected it to be."

They did a good job. I just needed my thermocoupler replaced. It was more expensive than I was hoping, but at least I have hot water now!
Response from Aardvark Rooter, Inc.
"Thanks for your review Anne, sorry the price was a little high for you. As I recall you had someone out before us that wasn't going to be able to get this fixed for you for a couple of days waiting for parts and their price was probably higher than ours. We are one of the lower cost contractors around!"
