Do yourself a favor and call another plumber right now. Seriously get at least one other quote before you let Elite Rooter onsite to do any work on your property. Also, make sure you get explicit terms in writing. They make big promises and then try to get you to take out loans to cover work they said insurance would cover. Their bids are usually a third more than you’ll pay another licensed and reputable plumber. Trust me, it pays to be patient.Elite Rooter is notorious for hiring unlicensed plumbers, which is legal in California but contrary to claims on their website. However, they also hire completely untrained people and send them out into the field to work on your home. Unless you know something about plumbing and intend to sit there and watch them as they work, be very careful about hiring this company to perform anything more than a simple drain clog removal.The job they recently did at my home cost over $10k (originally priced at almost $16k) and there were so many CA code violations and erroneously installed pipes (wrong angle, too steep an angle or simply unglued pipes buried and covered with newly poured concrete) that my contractor couldn’t put our house back together without redoing the entire job. In the meantime, Elite Rooter is telling me they won’t refund my money because they gave me a discount. You do that math…Just a few photos of their shoddy work:- Vanity sink drain sticks out past where drywall should be set.- Water bottle shoved in an old tub drainpipe that was still connected to the main drain leading out of the house; this would’ve been a nightmare scenario had it backed up before we discovered it.- Uncapped pipes at dirt level with dirt filling pipe.

We had Omar come out today he was very pleasant, and he was able to clear the slow draining tub/sink quickly and he let us know what would be needed next if the problem continued in the future.

If dishonesty and incompetence is what you want, go with Elite Rooter. If you want to pay twice for a job they do, go with Elite Rooter.

Our technician Steven and was fast, friendly & professional. We would certainly use him & elite rooter again. From the time we called, our drain was unclogged and every thing was up & running in under 2 hrs. And to top it off, they did it all for a great price.

Omar and his team were great, showed up on time every day and got the job done right. We had a big job (broken pipe, re-piping under the house, replace line to sewer) and there were some hiccups along the way, including much more cement than expected under the house, unexpected slab under the front yard, making for a very challenging job. But they kept at it and finished it right, filled the holes, repaired the jackhammered concrete. I would absolutely call them again for any future job. 10/10 would recommend!

Don’t use these shysters they came to unclog my Daughter drain and right away they put a camera down her drain and said it looked like a towel. I told them to try and snake it out but they said it will not work. They said the only way to get it out was to break up my daughters new floor and go through the cement to remove it at 4500.00 . Sent them away and called Eastlake Plumbing took him 2 hours and 300.00 later it was unclogged with the snake!! Thank you Eastlake Plumbing!! Beware of this company they see Women and they will rip you off!!

Fast great work! Fixed the problem and found other concerns. Reasonably priced and great customer service. Our water bill was $100 more one month, then $200 more the next month. So we took a chance and called Elite Rooter which was recommended by a coworker. They came out same day, and found a pin hole in our water pipe below one of our bathrooms. It wasn't spraying or leaking when they looked. But because of their knowledge and expertise, they were able to find the carotid pipe and signs of the leak. Before any work was done, they had great communication and step by step explained the estimate and the work they recommended. Then in our email, they gave listed concerns that might be something in the future we should have worked on. I highly recommend Elite rooter off of our experience.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing Elite Rooter’s plumbing services and was thoroughly impressed. From the moment they arrived, their attention to detail and commitment to excellence were clearly evident. The team meticulously explored and understood the issue, ensuring that nothing was overlooked. Their efficiency in identifying and fixing the problem was truly remarkable. What set Elite Rooter apart, however, was their exceptional customer service, going above and beyond what was expected. They demonstrated a level of care and professionalism that is rare in the industry. Based on my experience, I highly recommend Elite Rooter’s services to anyone in need of reliable, meticulous, and customer-focused plumbing solutions. Their expertise and dedication to customer satisfaction are indeed unmatched.

We contacted Elite Rooter because sewage was coming up through our shower drain. They found that we had old cast iron pipes that were corroded and needed to be replaced.Elite recommended a pipe burst to do the job, and quoted me $18,000. They offered financing upfront through Synchrony. I got another quote for the same job with another company for $20,000. Feeling confident, I decided to go with Elite.It was a HUGE mistake.Initially, they did what they said they would do. They took out the toilet and tile, and dug under the house to do the pipe burst.However, the pipe burst was not successful. They demolished part of my shower wall so they could put the pipe through. Still, it didn't work.Finally, they told me they would be installing a liner instead. They refilled the hole they dug under my house and patched it with concrete, and left me with a gaping 12"x12" hole in my shower and the wall behind my toilet. They also damaged my walls in the pipe burst attempt.It just got worse from there. Insurance refused to pay for any of this, so I ended up needing to pay off the $18,000 out of pocket. Naturally, I wanted to see a detailed invoice of the work that was done in my house, because the only one they provided me was a vague estimate of the original work they had scoped to do the pipe burst.I also now didn't just need to replace my floor; I needed to replace the tile in my ENTIRE SHOWER, which cost a fortune.But worst of all, a month later the toilet stopped working properly. It takes multiple attempts to flush anything down, even just toilet paper. I am wondering if the pipes were fixed after all or if the liner was actually installed.However, once Elite Rooter “finished” the job, I could not get a hold of them again. I have reached out no less than FOUR TIMES on the phone and via email asking for photos of the liner, a copy of my warranty, and help with the hole in my shower and other repairs to my property. Nothing. Each time I call I get told to send an email to management, but no one ever responds. I guess they don’t care since they already got their money. And now we are still paying months later for the terrible work they did.In short, don’t go with Elite. Or if you do, make sure you don’t pay the full amount until you’re satisfied with the work they’ve done.Update: They sent someone out to look at the toilet. They said someone would contact me about my warranty and the repairs to my house. It’s been six days and the toilet still doesn’t work and I haven’t heard from anyone. I would give zero stars if I could.

Elite Rooter came out to my house because I had a stopped up sink. I was thinking since it was still under warranty that it would be a free service. I was told since I had cast-iron pipe and they couldn’t find the problem after running 50 feet of camera they would have to run pipe from my kitchen sink to an outlet (approximately 14 ‘). They would have to cut up my exterior wall and they would cut up my patio to run the pipe in the ground and they would also install a pump that would cost approximately $8000. I opt for the lesser amount of $4700 not to cut up my concrete for the length of the pipe and they could run it on top of the concrete. But they cut up a Square to install a pump, placed it in the ground, covered it with board and gravel and plugged in the electrical cords (2) through the stucco wall into the socket where my garbage disposal is plugged into under the kitchen sink . The next day I turned on the switch to my garbage disposal, and it came on for one second and turned off. I thought since it was old, it probably just wore out. While installing a new garbage disposal, I heard the motor of the pump running. I thought that was strange because I haven’t been running my sink for a day because my garbage disposal was no longer working. I called Elite Rooter to let them know about the pump running. No tech was available to talk to so I requested a call back with my concern. Monday came and I had not received a call back. I called the manufacture of the pump. They told me it was a above ground pump and should not be installed in the ground, and that it should be protected from weather and typically installed under a kitchen sink or protective cabinet if it were to be outside. The cords had been plugged into the outlet incorrectly and the pump had been running 24 hours a day. I unplugged the pump cord and the floater cord and was told by the manufacturer that Elite Rooter did the installation incorrectly. Elite Rooter had my garbage disposal plugged in a piggyback, three prong plug that was part of the floater plug causing it to go out even with the new garbage disposal. Several days later someone came out from Elite Rooter told me they checked my invoice said it was ok to be installed in the ground. I let him know that I have unplugged the pump since last week I’m concerned that it could overheat and cause a fire. He uncovered the pump from the gravel and board and said they would call me later that day. No callback. It has been a full day and a half. I haven’t heard a word. But they have my money and I feel that since they have my money I am now longer a priority or concern. They will get to me when they can. I want a refund they can take their pump and I will call another plumbing company. I would not recommend Elite Rooter. They assured me that everything would be fine the day they came out to give me my estimate and collect my down payment. They said they would take care of me.

Mr. Arturo Garcia is simply the best. Undoubtedly very professional, knowledgeable, courteous, respectful, punctual, fast, quality work, etc. With the experience we had with his service, he and the company is now our go-to for any plumbing expeditions service. He fixed our plumbing issues on kitchen sink water being kicked back up after turning off the disposer as expeditiously and flawlessly as possible. After quick diagnosis, he got right down to the roots of the causes. He even explained the work details and the preventative measures. We’re extremely happy with the overall outstanding work that he did and to the company’s credit the most incredibly reasonable pricing they have, so uniquely unlike the other plumbing services that charge almost quadruple the amount of service. Elite Rooter company lives up to its standard and policy to render services as elite as possible. Hats off to the company and for Mr. Arturo Garcia’s general professionalism. He is a real valuable asset to the company and to their customers. Thankful for their concerns and services. They are there to help as painless as possible. Keep up the superb work. Highly recommended for any professional and reasonably-priced plumbing services. Would enlist their services without hesitation. Extremely glad to discover this company and Mr. Garcia as the representative. Way to go…

Very satisfied with the service we received from Elite Rooter today. David was very professional and efficient and kept me posted with everything he was doing. Travis was also really helpful and accommodating to our schedule. We’d had another plumbing company come out and weren’t happy with their work and Elite came out the next morning and fixed it! They were upfront with the rates and pricing and everything was done efficiently. We will be using Elite Rooter going toward. Thanks David and Travis.

He not only was very clever with his diagnosis in finding the problem in my 1881 old house he fixed bad work done from previous contractor and also found a small leak and fixed it very quickly.

Mr. A Garcia from elite plumbing came to work on our bathroom issue. I had missed the first call , but he made time in his busy schedule to come and take care of the clog we had. He was friendly and very knowledgeable and helped me understand what he was doing and what would need to be done IF it didn’t work. It didn’t take him long to get the clog out. I would definitely recommend them and him. He is my new plumber. Any more issues and he will be the first person I call for help. Thank you Arturo for your help. You’re awesome.
