These guys are great. I had an issue that my previous provider could not fix. I called Otter and they figured it out in no time and me back up and running. I would not use anyone else.

We are so glad our team was able to quickly identify and resolve the issue, especially after you had such a frustrating experience with your previous provider. It means so much to know we were able to turn that experience around and earn your confidence in our team. We are honored to be the company you can count on and truly appreciate your trust in The Otter Guys.

The Otter Guys came through!! We had two people come out and both were professional, kind and very informative! You don't expect to have to call a plumber but Donald and Amir were excellent at their work and made it easier on us! Highly recommend The Otter Guys!!

Kevin was very professional. He was clear about the problems with my system, offered options and gave pros and cons for each. No pressure and they offered to loan me window units until the work is completed. Good sales experience. Hope installation goes as well.

We had a drain line in our basement back up, flooding the basement, and The Otter Guys came out the same day to help clear the drain line and get everything back in working order for us. Their customer service representative was great to speak with and the tech they sent was awesome and friendly as well! Very happy
