"Old sump had fried without our knowledge and basement acquired water. Had NO clue on how to replace/reinstall the replacement pump we purchased or hook it up, so we called Dependable. Set up appt for that day, they called back within 2 hours to confirm that their tech Jeremy was on his way. Professional, prompt response, courteous, and took the time to explain the sump system and preventative measures we should take in the future. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND and will use them again with no hesitation."

"Terrible. I paid 3 times to have them out here. Was told I need a permit.. another $200... but they couldn't even fix it . Told by another business did not need drain field repaired... the drain field was dry. Waste of almost $1000 total. NEVER EVER AGAIN."

"Terrible terrible terrible. We contacted Mr. Rooter mid Michigan. Mount Pleasant location. They sent us an unlicensed plumber without telling us. They also advertise that they are BBB accredited and have an A+ rating. They are not BBB accredited and they have an F rating. The plumber with the license that was sent to our home, walked off the job when we asked him to uninstall 3 toilets that were the wrong brand we asked for Toto or Kohler toilets and he installed American Standard. He flipped out, swore at us and walked off the job. We had a water softener replaced as well. The one we replaced was in working condition and he took it with him when we were gonna use it somewhere else. It was never returned, even though we asked for it. They tried to sneak on an extra $500 for an extra hose bit. The most dishonest company I have ever seen from lying about plumbers having plumbing license, lying about Better Business Bureau accreditation, and rating. Lying on invoicing total bill. 14,000"

"After having Penning Plumbing "clear" my sewer lines twice within 14 months, they recommended having my sewer pipes replaced. I found Mr Rooter, because at the time they were the only ones that would sleeve new pipes with minimal lawn disturbance with the technique they used. After getting a quote, Bryan told me that guy wasn't there anymore, so they'd take out two sidewalk squares and replace the pipes from there. Fearing another sewer backup, and after some back and forth on getting the correct price on the invoice (foreshadowing), Mr. Rooter sent Bryan and Briton to replace all my pipes from my house to the city of Grand Rapids pipes on March 15. Instead of entering from the sidewalk, they excavated from in front of my house instead and added an outside sewer access. They finished in one day and Bryan said he'd be back the next day (March 16) after the city of Grand Rapids checks the connection to fill the hole they made. I didn't need to be there, so I paid the remainder of the invoice. I came home on March 16 to find the hole filled, but a lot of ground not replaced and left on my lawn and landscaping (see photos). I called and left a message as it was after hours expressing my concern because of the rain in the forecast and tried to replace some of the ground myself. The weekend passed with no reply (foreshadowing), but I did receive the final invoice on March 18 with the charge for sidewalk removal still on it. The week of March 20 the city of GR came out to check their lines, and found Mr Rooter had come up by about 7 feet. Mr. Rooter did not replace about 7 feet of pipes they were contracted to replace. Over the next two weeks I would call and email with little response or movement (foreshadowing), and in the meantime, I had leaks in my basement where I never had water come in before. Finally I spoke with Briton who said he would come out to check. I asked about the leaks, and he said I'd have to "wait them out" before they stop. A few days later I spoke with Bryan, after he missed an appointment, and he said if they were short it was only by a foot. The next day Drew was dispatched to my house, who confirm Mr. Rooter was about 7 feet short. He didn't know why they were short or why they didn't say anything, but said this isn't how they should be doing work. He wrote a report, but nothing came of it. Long story short for the sake of this review, for the next two months I called and emailed to get an answer from Mr. Rooter. I spoke with Megan and Alicia. Cara was assigned to my job, she texted me once to say she was still working on it, then never again. I also never spoke to Byran nor Briton again. The owner, Mr. Matt Engel, said he would contact me about the situation, but never did. He also said, through Alicia, he would refund a partial amount, but never did (I did receive a refund for the sidewalk removal earlier on). The best I got from anyone at Mr. Rooter was they were sorry, they agreed with my frustration, they pride themselves on communication and this isn't how they handle their business. Yet I only ever received the contrary. On their invoice they have a "No hassle" guarantee, where, if the customer isn't happy within the first year, they'd fix it. Effectively, the whole franchise ghosted me instead. Eventually I contacted the corporate office, Neighborly. They recorded everything and wrote up a report, but because Mr. Rooter is an independent franchise, they can't do much else, which is unacceptable. Since, I have sought legal council and filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, which is still open. My suspicion is that this was Mr. Rooter and its owner Mr. Engel's gameplay: to wait out the customer because the customer is libel to lose interest before any real consequences are incurred. If they did it to me, they've probably done it before and will probably do it again. It's pathetic and cowardly. My advice to others is: if you have a sewer backup, call your city/municipality FIRST. If you need sewer and/or plumbing services, DO NOT call Mr. Rooter."

"The whole process of quoting, sales presentation, finance arrangement, installation was simple, timely, professional, complete and painless. The price was very competitive, the installation was smooth and prompt, and the end product is thing of beauty. This review is from a homeowner who has had a couple of terrible furnace experiences in the past decade."
