Absolutely wonderful job, the plumber Oz was very knowledgeable and patient. He did everything to solve my problem and was determined to fix it. Will definitely use again for future plumbing issues and projects.

Joel responded to my inquiry almost immediately and sent someone out to assess the leak within an hour. Joel then came to check it out himself then fixed the issue immediately. Very professional and knowledgeable. His expertise prevented what could have been extensive damage. Would definitely recommend

Joel and his team were quick to diagnose the issue. They also were very responsiveness and communicative throughout.

Joel called within seconds of my request and picked up toilet from big box store, coordinated with tenant, installed and sent pics, and hauled away old toilet. All done in the blink of an eye (within 3 hours of first contact) and very professional.

Joel called right away to address my plumbing issue. Oz came my home that day and fixed my problem. He was kind, thorough and efficient. I will be reaching out Captain Rooter again.

I recently hired Captain Rooter Emergency Plumbers to relocate my hot water tank in order to accommodate a humidifier for my furnace. Joel and Ruben arrived promptly and were well-prepared to begin work. Joel took the time to thoroughly address all of my questions, and the project was completed to my satisfaction at a fair and reasonable rate. The team demonstrated professionalism, efficiency, and strong attention to detail throughout the process. I would highly recommend Joel and Captain Rooter for any plumbing needs and would not hesitate to use their services again in the future.

Thumbtack customerFeb 2026

The company was initially very punctual. They provided an estimate and were at my home the following day. Additional work was required, so they returned the next day; however, communication between crews was poor. The crew arrived approximately two hours late, and I had to call the company myself to find out where they were. The job was eventually completed, but the following morning I noticed water pooling next to the drain. I contacted the company again and was told by Jesse that a crew would be sent out at 10:00 a.m. the next morning. It has now been three days, and I have not heard back. I have called multiple times and left messages with no response. Overall, this lack of follow-up and communication has been very disappointing.

Thumbtack customerJan 2026

Oz came out initially on 1/21/26 in order to offer an estimate on my water heater. After seeking a few additional estimates i ultimately decided to get the repair done through Captain Rooter because Oz was very professional and responsive compared to his competitors. He took the return appointment on a short notice and addressed the repair in a very timely manner once onsite. I would highly recommend this company to others because of my experience with Oz.

Thumbtack customerJan 2026

the drain cover that was provided doesn't do the best job of plugging the tub and water still leaks though. felt i was overcharged for the services providde
