Montco-Rooter Plumbing & Drain Cleaning

Gave Monaco a call after my bathtub water started backing up and I knew I had a clog somewhere. I tried to fix it myself and ran a 25‑foot snake through the toilet, but it came back clean. At that point, I knew the issue was bigger and needed professionals. They arrived within an hour of my call. The technician quickly located a clog outside, cleared out a bunch of tree roots, and even ran an underground camera to show me exactly what was going on. He was able to fully unclog the line and recommended replacing the outside piping in the future. Thank you for the fast response and great service. Definitely a 10/10 recommendation.

I’m giving 2 stars instead of 1 only because the company came out quickly both times, and the second field tech was professional and easy to work with. Unfortunately, the overall experience was frustrating. I had a blockage in my sewer line from the house to the street that caused my yard vent to overflow. On the first visit, they snaked the drain and restored flow. However, the tech told me in person that he did not clear the line all the way to the street — only about 10 feet past the clog. He assumed the blockage was wipes based on what had overflowed, though he wasn’t able to pull anything out of the line. We have not used wipes in the three years we’ve lived here. It’s possible prior owners did, but that’s speculation. He did not document that the line wasn’t cleared to the street, but since they advertise a 30-day warranty, I didn’t push the issue. For reference, I was charged about $800 for that initial visit, which feels high for a straightforward snaking with no camera inspection or confirmation that the line was fully cleared. They also would not provide even a ballpark price before coming out, which should have been a red flag. About 10 days later, the line backed up again — still within the warranty window. When I called to schedule a follow-up, the person on the phone was extremely confrontational. He said that if they found wipes again, I would automatically be charged. He insisted the wipes previously found were “fresh,” despite having no proof and despite me explaining we do not use wipes. It felt like I was being accused of lying. When I referenced that their own tech told me the line wasn’t cleared to the street the first time — and that the clog may have simply been pushed downstream — I was told, “Why do customers tell us we don’t do our job properly?” The tone was unprofessional and unnecessary. I remained calm and simply explained I didn’t want to pay again for something that may not have been fully resolved the first time, especially SINCE IT WAS WITHIN WARRANTY. Ultimately, they did return and clear the line at no charge, though they voided the remainder of the warranty. Honestly, I’m not sure if he legally could void my warranty, but I was so happy to just be done with them that I didn’t care. While I appreciated the second technician’s work, the hostile communication, lack of transparency on pricing, and accusatory tone mean I won’t be using them again. Quick response times don’t make up for terrible customer service and unclear pricing. I hope this helps others.

Needed our main line cleaned out. They were able to send someone within hours of our call even being the day after Christmas. Got the job done quickly and the technician was very friendly and helpful. Communication was great and they worked with our budget. Will definitely call them next time we have issues with our system.

The service call was scheduled quickly and the plumber was there within a couple hours of my initial text. The plumber (Louis) was competent and did an overall good job. He helped me save a few bucks by assisting me with buying the new toilet myself. However, the flat rate pricing for toilet replacement and disposal are both at the very high end of the range. I will probably seek out a more reasonably priced company for future service.

Don’t use them it’s a scam. Charged me $438 to relight the pilot for my boiler. When I asked for an itemized invoice he stopped looking at me completely, kept his head down and showed me a screenshot of what will be sent to me. The invoice just says “labor for relighting pilot -425”. No labor per hour, cost for diagnostic, nothing. I admit. They did the job. But they will extort you. And he didn’t quote me the price till after the work was done. My fault for being a sleepless new mother who just needed some hot water right.

Nick, Matthew and Mike were easy to work with. Nick came out, figured out a good solution and got me a quote within 24 hours. Very easy to schedule with. They completed the job on a Saturday morning, which was great.

Very positive experience with Montco-Rooter Plumbing. Louis came out on a Sunday and installed a sump pump in my wife and I's new house. Very honest and willing to explain each part of the project until we were comfortable. Will definitely use this company again for plumbing needs.

Our Motorco-Rooter Plumbing and Drain Cleaning Technician, Lou, was very professional! He explained EVERYTHING until we understood the terminology and suggested changes. Lou managed his time very wisely and wore appropriate work clothes coverage to keep our house clean. We recommend and will request Lou for our future plumbing projects!
