I had an unusual request--I perform maintenance on my drains yearly, so I don't have emergency stoppages and was looking for someone who would not charge me "emergency prices". John, owner of Rooter Shield, was the man. He set up in 6 different Clean-outs and ran his snake through them & was done in 1.5 hours.

Details: No, repair is not urgent • Multiple drains have issues • Other issue • House

John was professional and polite. He was easy to reach whenever I wanted to discuss something and was communicative throughout the process. He did plumbing work for our walk-in shower. I’ll be reaching out to him again for any plumbing needs.
