Roma Rooter

I gave Chris a call three times, and each time he returned my calls in a timely manner. The first time I called, he gave me great advice on how to fix a plumbing issue on my own, saving me both time and money. He was also very helpful with my two other calls, pointing me in the right direction. I really appreciate Chris’s honesty and professionalism. He wasn’t out to just make a buck from me. He was really interested in helping me out. Thanks again, Chris!

Found Roma Rooter through Unilocal and the excellent reviews don’t lie. Our backyard flooded and Chris was able to come and help us out the same day (within 20 minutes!) He was honest and extremely hard working. He quickly diagnosed the problem with our drain system and explained it to us clearly. His pricing is very reasonable as well. We will definitely use his service in the future when something comes up.

I had a new toilet installed, which had water coming out from the base and my bathroom smelled like sulfur. After searching Unilocal,I came across Roma Rooter, and based on the reviews, decided to call Chris. Chris stopped by on the date agreed, took his time to assess the problem, and fixed the toilet. He was honest, took his time with the repair, and left the bathroom clean. Given the amount of time he took, the price of the repair was more than reasonable. Will definitely use Roma Rooter for all my plumbing needs! Highly recommend Roma Rooter!

Chris was very professional, honest, and worked hard until he got our toilet installation up and running (no small feat when the previous installers had done some shoddy work). We will definitely be giving him a call if anything else comes up.

chris perri of roma rooter is the man. he has been terrific in maintaining my sewer line, saving me a boatload of money. he’s not out to sell you a bill of goods. just solid, honest service. thank you to dave at litten plumbing for introducing me to chris. i guess that the only negative comment about chris is that he’s a yankee fan.

this guy came out to the home once before and was just okay my aunt said regarding our toilet being clogged. today i call him for a second job to come try and fix our 2 year old water and without even looking at it he starts saying what «is» wrong with it and that we should just replace the unit and its to sense in his doing the work. he informs me further more that he has done a similar fix and it stopped working after 3 weeks. went on by deflecting my next concern by saying the company who made my equipment is out of business. never the less CHEAP LAZY ASS «plumber»…
#sorrynotsorry

A friend recommended this company to me so I looked them up over Unilocal n they had grt reviews so I called this morning and got hold of Chris. He was very prompt in returning my call and he was very courteous and polite over the phone. I told him what was going on with the leaks in my condo since I just literally moved in and I get this leak problem. So he stayed on the phone with me a while listening to me tell him about the problem, then he asked me if I wanted him to come and inspect it and I said yes. When Chris came he saw the problem and tried to help me resolved it by giving me some advice because he felt it might an HOA kind of deal. He stayed quiet a while answering any question I may have. NOW THATS WHAT YOU CALL FuLL BLOWN CUSTOMER SERVICE! For sure I will be using this company in the future to come …

The kitchen sink clogged late last night while I was cleaning up after dinner. Tried Draino, but the water didn’t move. Tried plunging it too, but the water lever did not change. It sat overnight like that.
At 8 am the next morning I called Roma Rooter and Chris showed up quickly. After shoving over 25 feet of the drain snake down the sink it cleared up the clogged and the water drained. He was friendly, professional and clean.
He advised us to never use those chemicals to unclog the drain because they don’t work. He said that twice a month we should fill the sink half way with warm water, drop in a scoop or two of Oxyclean, and drain. He also recommended we avoid using the garbage disposal, so we don’t put any food down the drain. That should keep things clear for a longer period of time.
Next time we get a clog or need drain work we will definitely call Roma Rooter.

Had a pretty bad clog in our bathroom lavatory that was previously diagnosed as a lost cause and would require $ 1k in fixing. Figured that was over the top and found Roma Rooter (Cris Perri) on Unilocal.What a find He came in and was very persistent and thorough and finally unclogged our drain. Very honest and very informative and gave great advice… Never use store bought chemicals to unclog! It can make matters worst. Highly recommend Cris and would definitely use him again in the future.

For awhile now, my kitchen sink water has been running very slow. Garbage disposal grindings were backing up into the main sink. Yuk!
Very pleased with Chris Perri of Roma Rooter! Called him yesterday, scheduled for 10:00 a.m. He showed up right at 10:00. Asked some questions and determined the backup was in the main water line, not the sink plumbing. The snake couldn’t push the backup so he water jetted it. The drain is clear now — yay!
He suggested that once or twice a month fill the main sink (not the disposal sink side), half-​way with warm water and two scoops of OxyClean. This should keep the drains clean and running quickly. Also, never use those drain cleaners — that you’re wasting your money and over time they corrode the pipes.
Thanks Chris! Great service with a pleasant personality!

Easy to schedule, arrived on time, wonderful to work with and very reasonable fee! Thanks!

Chris is the go-​to guy for any of your plumbing issues (and much more). We had an issue while replacing a toilet, where – due to a double layer of tiles – there was a huge gap between the base of the toilet and the waste line, and plus there wasn’t even a flange. Others would’ve told me to tear down the floor and level it off to match the toilet, but I was on a budget, and Chris’ expertise and years in the business got us a more cost-​efficient way to go around the situation. After searching around, long story short he found a special part that would act as a flange and altogether meet the toilet base all the way, did some work here and there, and voila! Now we have a functional toilet at last.
Chris was definitely a lifesaver, and I am extremely satisfied with his work. Not only was he patient and very thorough while explaining the whole process to us (something I def appreciate), but he also worked on a timely manner in a way that would fit your schedule. Thanks, Chris!

I recommend Cris to anybody who needs plumbing services. He is very patient in explaining things and won’t charge you more than what he had said in the phone when you call him. He came to our house this morning and was extremely satisfied for his work. Thank you.

Chris Perri (Roma Rooter) was recommended to me by our regular plumber when he couldn’t get rid of a clog with his hand-​held snake. The clog was backing up both our bathrooms, most likely created by those «flushable» wipes which apparently are not that flushable. Anyway, Chris came by the next day and got the job done with his large motorized rooter. He even had to use a vent on our roof to get to the clog. Chris is friendly, professional and talks you through the process. No upselling or ridiculous recommendations like those folks at the larger companies.

Very nice guy Chris just left, did a great job. Very nice very professional. Had him put in a ice maker water line.

I define good service from a service as one who doesn’t try to sell his customers unnecessary services. Excellent service is what Chris Perri provides.
I called Chris up for a quote on running a camera into the sewer, as recommended by a representative from the city, to see what was causing our backup flow. I followed the camera recommendation, but Chris advised me to rooter (?) instead to find the root (haha) of our problem because it would be a more cheaper alternative. He was very patient and thorough with explaining the process to make sure my mother and I were well-​informed.
Very friendly person, professional, and very honest. My mother cannot stop telling me how satisfied she is with his service. I think Chris will become our go-​to guy for our problematic plumbing.

Having a good plumber is crucial. Hook yourself up with Chris and you will have that taken care of. He will tell you like it is and gets the job done. Being an Insurance Agent, I deal with plumbers all of the time. Chris is the one I trust for jobs at my own home.

Had a problem with our toilet, it was leaking every time we flushed. Chris came out, told us that the guy who installed the toilet didn’t seal it properly. He used whatever he had to seal it for us and so far, so good. No more complaints from the downstairs neighbors. I hope he fixed the problem permanently. You never know with these things, especially when it’s a sealing issue. Charged us $ 200

Although I used Unilocal a lot, thanks Unilocaler but I rarely write review BUT I have to this time as I used a few different plumber/​rooter guys in the past and the results were no where close to Chris Perri. He is prompt, knowledgeable and priced just right. He also offered some useful advise and clearly explain his work along the way. Definitely a very recommended plumber.

I’m a new homeowner and just tried to get the gas turned on when the gas co man flagged 4 items, 2 as «plumbing». Since it was deemed a safety issue I needed to find an honest yet reasonable plumber preferably close to home in the SGV.
Chris didn’t disappoint as he came as he said he would today, a Sat shortly after the 1 PM time. He was a little confused at why there was a write up so after some investigation, he explained what must be what the gas co was looking for.
For all practical purposes, there really was no safety issue and this was independently corroborated by the worker at Smith’s Hardware we went to looking for this uncommon valve that would have to be special ordered.
So though nothing physically was changed except putting back the original hose and adapter to fit the ½″ pipe as it should, he only charged me for an hour’s time although when it was all said and done including taking time to educate me about different things around the house and even advising about getting a filter to ensure a long life for my newly installed tankless water heater which he happened to notice, a $ 2400 job no less, he didn’t leave until 4 PM, or 3 hours later!
Chris is definitely the honest, down to earth, local plumber that I was looking for and definitely won’t nickel and dime for his time to explain, the way it should be. I won’t be going anywhere else for my plumbing needs that’s for sure. And if you get a chance to chat a little more with him you’ll find out about his very unique and interesting life journey that led him to be a plumber… which explains in part why he is the way he is!
