We had a complete main drain blockage on the Sunday afternoon before the MLK holiday. Basement drain backed up with crud on the basement floor. What a mess!

Noah responded quickly to my call, came out on a cold, wet Sunday afternoon and swiftly resolved our problem.

He was neat, professional, and highly competent. He cleared the blockage, examined the line with an camera, and provided solid advice.

I highly recommend Flinn's Rooter and the owner, Noah. Much better service and price than the "big guys".

Our kitchen sink drain was blocked. After a plumber was unable to open it, we called Flinn’s Rooter Services based on the plumber’s recommendation. Despite it being a weekend, they came and worked diligently until the drain was working again. It wasn’t easy. They really are “Flow Restoration Artists.” My husband and I highly recommend Flinn’s Rooter Services.

I had a terrible drainage issue which kept from being able to use water in my house. Flinns came out with two workers, lots of equipment, and a hard working professional ethic. The first day, they worked on the drainage issue from the interior, and then completed the work from the exterior the next day. They also provided easy tips on how to do simple maintenance to help with drainage and flow. Very impressed by how hard and fast they worked! Highly recommended for professionalism and value.

Noah surprised me when he said he could be here in half an hour. Thirty five minutes later he pulled up. On short notice I'll take that. He walked around with me, assessed the situation and got to work. Thirty minutes later he was done and the problem was solved. Friendly, polite and efficient. Made sure I put his number in my phone for next. Highly recommend!

Alison Kaplan

Had a clogged shower drain and contacted 3 different local plumbing companies - not only was Flinns the only one to actually respond to me - they were extremely prompt in responding and had same day availability. I opted to have them come the next morning as that worked better for me. Pricing was fair - as I’ve had other plumbers quote ridiculously more for the same service in the past. Noah and his assistant were friendly and efficient. Would definitely recommend.

The mainline from our house to the city sewer was clogged, and the only access to clean it out was in a very tight crawl space under our home. Owner Noah said it was a “top 10 hardest job he’s ever had,” but he made it look easy! Noah and his team were prompt, professional, courteous, and very knowledgeable. Moreover, they weren’t afraid of some serious hard work. Thank you to Noah, and I highly recommend him and his team for your plumbing, drain cleaning, and pipe repair needs.

Noah came out next day and cleared my kitchen drain within the hour. I will be using them again when I have other issues. A different plumber before had told me I needed a complete pipe replacement.

Everything was smooth and Noah was very responsive to text and had us scheduled next day

Ted Hansen

Noah came out to our old house and cleared out an obstruction in our terra cotta sewer pipe. He was very communicative throughout the whole process, identified other issues with our piping that might cause problems down the road, gave us a thorough quote for additional (optional) work, and even followed up a few days later to make sure our pipe was still flowing well.

Noah and his partner (Joey? Jeremy?) were very efficient but thorough and left the work site cleaner than it was before they even arrived. Very impressed and will recommend to anyone I know.

Today Noah from Flinn’s came out to help with a major sewer line blockage at our church. Another company had assessed the situation and said the blockage was impenetrable and that we would need to jackhammer through the concrete floor of the building to repair or replace the pipe. Noah from Flinn’s was persistent, willing to try a lot of different things, and eventually got the pipe clear. We are very grateful, and next time our first call will be to Flinn’s.

My family and I would highly recommend Jay with Flinn's Rooter
Service. Another plumber with another company had been called
first to address the seal at the base of the toilet. A few days after they finished, there was some leakage of water from somewhere
from the back of the toilet. At this point I was going to go with
a new plumber. I went online and saw the reviews on Flinn's. I
read the reviews on Jay, who came highly recommended. He
correctly diagnosed the problem, took the time to explain what
happened, and patiently answered our questions. He was
professional and respectful. I would recommend him to family and friends. He and Flinn's were a God send.

I came across Flinn's by blind luck while trying to find out about work that was done on my home by its previous owners. It turned out Flinn's hadn't performed the previous work, but Eugenia asked me what I had going on. I explained that we had been having drainage issues, and that our main drain had been diagnosed with roots under the concrete in our basement. Noah was able to come out and have a look the next day, and gave us a less invasive option than the first company we spoke to, which also happened to cost 1/3 less.

Noah ended up installing a NuFlow liner in our cast iron main line, up to where it meets the PVC in our yard. This meant no tearing up of our concrete slab, which I was very thankful for. I believe ours was a technically difficult job, but Noah and his colleague worked diligently for the greater part of two days and got it done. While it's never fun spending a large amount of money when you weren't planning for it, I felt confident in Noah's diagnosis and plan, and his expertise was evident in discussion with him about our options, as well as during the work. I'm grateful for the quick timeline we were able to complete the project on, and that I was made aware of the liner technology that was used in our repair. Noah was a pleasure to work with, and very responsive via text, even on the weekend. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again, although hopefully my plumbing woes are over now.

Good customer service and fair prices. I felt respected when talking with Noah and the experience was much better than what we've had some of the bigger local companies.

If you want the short version: Flinn's Rooter Service is one of the best customer experiences I've ever had with a service company and I don't hesitate in recommending them.

If you want the long version keep reading...

We had an amazing experience with Flinn's. They were recommended by another plumber due to the need of special equipment to unclog our main sewer line. We contacted them late in the day and were contacted right back and were able to set something up that night for the very next morning which we were thankful for.

Jay came out and began looking at our problem and pointed out a water damage problem the clog had caused that we likely would not have noticed until it had done some pretty bad damage. Jay discovered what the problem was and while we had originally called for a main line clog, he let us know that the problem was likely more isolated which ended up saving us some money in the long run. We really appreciated that honesty versus charging us for work that didn't necessarily need to be performed.

The very next day the owner reached out to me via text to see how the issue was going and told me to keep in touch about it. He followed up several times after that to make sure everything was okay and even answered a couple questions that I had. You just don't get that kind of customer service at most businesses anymore. We have full faith in Flinn's and will certainly use their services in the future if needed. Thank you Jay, Noah, and team!

I had a slow to drain kitchen sink and Flinn’s was out the next day. Pleased with their work and timeliness.

Mag Reys

Contacted this service and immediately was contacted back. Two representatives came by our house to investigate the problem which appears to be an eroded cast iron pipe vent drain connected to our washing machine. Their estimate was much more in our price range of what fit our budget that another estimate we received from another company. They wanted several thousand. We are on their schedule for fixing the problem. The owner texted me the following day just to follow-up on the visit and that we are on their schedule for the fix. Everyone I’ve talked to or texted with are so very very nice and willing to work with you. Very genuine folks. No feeling of being taken advantaged of. (Note: my neighbor recommended this company. She had only great comments regarding using them.)

Noah was such an awesome person to work with - I appreciated the honesty, punctuality, direct feedback, and willingness to assist with my issues. I Definitely recommend them to do your work. I called three other plumbers before this and they fixed my issue, while the others did not.

Noah came out and the end of his day didn’t stop until he figured out the issue and got the job done! Thanks for a job well done… I’ll recommend Flinn’s to folks in my area.

They were on time and reasonably priced . I have used Noah before for turbo blasting of the main waste line to the street.
He has a great video pipe inspection system too.
Today they unclogged the outside basement stair well that was flooding the basement.I recommend Flinn’s . Just send him a text and he will get back to you as soon as he puts his tools down for a few minutes,

John was recommended by another plumbing company to fix a clog in the septic line at our business. Even though it was after hours, he was very easy to get on the phone, extremely professional and accommodating, and made a very frustrating issue so much easier to deal with. He told us up front what the service would cost, kept us posted on his estimated arrival, and had the problem resolved quickly. We would very highly recommend Flinn’s Rooter Service to anyone in need of this service!!
