About Mr. Rooter® Plumbing
Founded on Trust, Service, & Quality Work
Since the original Mr. Rooter was founded in 1970, the company has remained committed to a set of core values of Respect, Integrity, Customer Focus and a fun work environment. While the original Mr. Rooter location is still going strong nearly a half a century later, it is joined by over 230 locations in North America alone! All locations are independently owned and locally operated with strong ties to their communities.
We've never lost sight of that local connection. Today, Mr. Rooter is a family of independently owned and operated franchised plumbing companies united by a common set of values and a shared belief in providing the best customer service possible. Although we have a national network of companies sharing best practices on providing a world class customer experience, each franchise owner is ingrained and invested in the communities they serve. Because they're our communities, too. And through experience, we've learned that exemplary service comes naturally when you truly care about your customers.
At Mr. Rooter, we love what we do, and we believe in it. It’s not just plumbing to us, but a philosophy applied to every area of our lives. It’s just the plumbing that’s made us famous.
Our Service Philosophy
Our only priority is to provide the highest level of customer service.
We know that plumbing emergencies are challenging and many times unexpected, so we have customer service representatives that answer the phones 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We offer a warm voice, a courteous call, and a convenient process. We make your emergency a priority for us, scheduling service as quickly as possible to resolve your problem.
Our plumbers are the same way—they treat your home with respect and consideration. We wipe our feet on our own mats, we wear shoe covers before entering your home, and we'll offer you a fair assessment of your plumbing situation and how much it will cost to handle it. We offer upfront pricing, so you don't have to worry about a growing repair bill as the job goes on.
