Rooter Man

After an initial good experience back in 2013, this time around and for a different need… errrr… this guy crashed and burned.
This guy is good for ONE and ONE thing only… snaking clogged drains. Stick to that for his service and you’ll have no issues.
Did the work as needed. Not very clear and fishy quoting and fee schedule (i.e. non existent). This time around he snaked the kitchen sink’s clogged drain for $ 175 which he quoted up front (excessive if you ask me, but oh well, I accepted). THEN found an issue with a pipe being rusted… everything was torn down, it needed to be repaired… nowhere for me to go really, then said the whole job would be $ 375 (that is $ 200 to replace the rusted pipe). When I questioned him about how long it would take him and how much he was charging me per hour, he immediately adjusted and said he’d charge me $ 300 (notice, he NEVER told me how much he charged per hour)… 20 (TWENTY) Minutes later he was done. He charged me $ 125 for «parts & labor» to replace a rusted pipe (which would have been $ 200 if I hadn’t asked what his hourly rate was), and got bend out of shape and offended when I asked him to detail it in the invoice.
He was here a total of 50 minutes and charged me $ 300. Lawyers charge less and you get a full hour!
WILL NEVER USE AGAIN EVEN IF MY PLUMBING BURST OPEN AND HE’S THE LAST SURVIVING PLUMBER IN ALL OF THE METRO MILWAUKEE AREA.
