Rooter Scooter

Rooter Scooter handles plumbing work across Redding and nearby spots like Red Bluff, Anderson, and Shasta Lake in Shasta County. The company focuses on drain cleaning, sewer repair, water heater service, and emergency calls for homes and businesses. They keep regular hours from eight in the morning to five in the afternoon on weekdays but stay open around the clock for urgent needs. The outfit lists a contractor license and covers those towns with phone lines for both Redding and Red Bluff.

Homeowners call them for backed up drains, busted main lines running from wells, clogged sewer lines, and smaller repair jobs that pile up over time. Jeremiah shows up for many of these, clearing lines in under an hour and checking the flow afterward to catch any other trouble. Crews have dug out deep pipe sections when a well line failed and left no water, finishing the fix the same day. Other visits involve Ruth or Jonathan tracing issues at multiple properties and sorting them without extra trips. Reviewers note the crews explain steps as they go and leave the work areas clean once the job wraps.

Response times stand out in the accounts, with arrivals often within an hour or even sooner after the call, including nights before holidays when other outfits turned down the work. Pricing comes across as straightforward and lower than expected for the scope, whether for a quick unclog or a full line repair. Service stretches to the listed towns around Redding, and the team keeps communication direct about what needs doing and how long it will take. Customers mention repeat calls for rental properties and different locations because the fixes hold up and the crew stays courteous throughout.

“Jerimiah at Rooter Scooter is the best. They are always responding quickly to my plumbing back-ups and repair efficiently. I have been using them for years on my rentals and highly recommend them. Sue Curtis.”

“The team at Rooter Scooter really saved the day for us! Our main line from the well to the house busted and we had no water. I dug as far as I could, but it was really deep. Their crew came out, dug out the pipe and repaired it in just a few hours. Thank you so much for the quick response and quality work, it’s much appreciated!”

“The technician was right on time, very professional, explained each step of the repair. Left all areas he had worked in clean and was very polite. I absolutely will use Rooter Scooter again and recommend them to my friends”

“These guys are awesome,came out same day and fixed drain issues we'd been having for weeks,great service and super pricing couldn't recommend them more”

“Had several small plumbing jobs that I am not skilled at doing myself. Jeremiah completed all jobs professionally, was courteous and respectful. He confirmed that if you know what you're doing it it gets done promptly and correctly. Definitely my go to plumber.”

“We've had the need to call Rooter Scooter twice this past month for two different locations. We continue to be impressed with the very prompt response time and ability to fix the problem, no matter how big.”

“I highly recommend Rooter Scooter. They came out to our facility the night before a holiday and bailed us out after a another local pumbing company (well known from their radio and TV ads) showed up first and refused to help us. Rooter Scooter will be our first call next time. Oh, and Jeremiah is awesome. Thank you!”

“Couldn’t ask for a better company to work with. Ruth and Jonathan were both great and so helpful. They found and addressed our issue quickly, efficiently, and at a great and affordable rate.”

“We had a plug develope in our wash basin's line. Jeremiah came out the very next day. He was thorough and unclogged the line in about 10 minutes. He spent another 10 minutes running water through the line to ensure there wasn't any other issues. Very nice and professional! Thank you, Rooter Scooter!”

“I had a clogged main sewer line so I called Rooter Scooter & was told a plumber would be there in an hour, possibly 1/2 hour. He showed up 10 minutes after I hung up. He was in and out in less than 45 minutes, and the bill didn’t bankrupt me. Excellent service for an excellent price. I will definitely call them again or refer them to someone if the need arises.”
