Basement Waterproofing

My house basement had leakage problem fixing of which was postponed for a while due to financial question. But large flood last year that caused a lot of damage made me to search for help. I tried to do some research online but end up with friend’s suggestion to call “Doctor Rooter”. When I called them no one answered and I left voicemail. Pleasant surprise was to receive call back within 30 min from Bill who I discussed issue with and scheduled estimate meeting same week.
We ended up contracting “Doctor Rooter” for the Job. I was pleasantly surprised by timing and precision of work (over time we had few rain storms and there are no signs of leakage what so ever) but not least important fact that they cleaned up after themselves and left no evidence of mess.
Thank you Sergey and crew.
Would I suggest “Doctor Rooter” to my friends?
Yes, they are actually estimating work for my parents currently.

Egrees Window

Recently I started getting water in my basement after some rain. I caller Doctor Rooter and asked what is a problem. I was told that I have a crack in the wall. They did an outside waterproofing for me as well as installation of an egrees window which I wanted to do for a long time now due to fire safety regulation when u rent out a basement. They did an amazing job in a short period of time, everything took 3 days. I am very satisfied with their service.

Hi Harry, thanks a lot for the review. It's a benefit from any side to install egress windows if you have a fully finished basement, which is habitable place. Sometimes it is confused with window wells, but it has one major difference. Egress is a lifesaving equipment, with a certain requirements. Thank you for choosing Doctor Rooter!

Backwater valve installation

I have recently purchased a new house and almost immediately started the renovations. One of the first things I decided to do was to install the backwater valve in order to protect my basement from flooding. Doctor Rooter had done a great job! It was quick, accurate and professional. Keep up the good work!

service

Hi everyone! I had a blocked toilet for the past 2 days and it was a terrible experience. I’ve tried mending it myself with snake and liquid plumber but it did not work. So I asked my friend and she suggested me this company. Doctor Rooter provided me with the fast, professional service. I recommend this company to everyone with plumbing problems and definitely will use their services again when needed!

Hi Maria, thank you for the review. yes,clogged toilet is unpleasant situation and it seems to happen at the most inappropriate time. Most of the time you could clear the clog with a plunger in couple minutes, but it is not always a case. Than you need to call a specialist. Thank you for choosing Doctor Rooter!

Project

Basement Walkout.
Hello Everyone!Few weeks ago I have lost my job and that left me and my family without a considerable portion of an income. Me and my husband thought of the ways out of this situation and decided to rent out our basement to help us out with the bills. Unfortunately we did not have a separate entrance to the basement. I asked my brother to suggest me someone ( since he is in construction business) and he suggested me the Doctor Rooter. A nice man called Oleg came for an estimation and very soon the work has began. In 3 days the whole project was finished and we were ready to let people in. I was by how fast and professional the work was done. I will certainly use their services again! Great company and Great Job Oleg!

Few days ago I have noticed that my shower was leaking. luckily I have noticed it fast and my hydro bill will not be huge in the end of the month.

The service was great and for the good price. i definately recommend Doctor Rooter to anyone who has plumbing problems. Great Job!

Bathrooms rough-in

I am changing this review as Oleg refunded me the money I paid and apologized for not completing the work. I call it even and for the work he has done he has been professional so I have no problem giving him another chance on another project.
