They were quick in coming out, diagnosing the problem, and fixing it all within a few hours of us calling! DJ was super kind and professional, affordable, and great work. Highly recommend!

I was referred to WeCo Rooter and I am so grateful. I had gone a year with one of my shower heads not working. Brian came to the house today, diagnosed the problem, and while he was here he fixed it. Brian was fast, and was so courteous to us and our home. He was careful not to damage anything or leave a mess. So impressed with the entire organization!
Dan G.
Really enjoyed DJ who was kind and courteous and took his time explaining the issues present and giving great recommendations. He was kind and courteous and he was able to end the little river/stream that was taking over my front yard! Thanks so much for prompt response and assessment of the issue and doing good work.

WECO ROOTER was fantastic. We went on vacation and came home to a busted water heater. They responded within and hour. They assessed the problem within 2 hours. And Matt had my water heater replaced within 6 hours. Matt was punctual, polite and professional. Lacey keep me informed of Matt’s arrival time throughout the entire process. Pricing was fair and honest. Thank You WECO ROOTER!!

Their service and professionalism are outstanding. I needed a new water line put in and they responded extremely quickly and Brook and his son got a new line put in within 3 hours. Extremely good company, responds fast and did an excellent job all around. Would highly recommend!

Great service! Prompt, professional. I highly recommend WeCo Rooter! Technician Al was very friendly and got the work done right!
DeAnne W.
Everyone at this company were the most pleasant people to do business with. I needed a new water line put in, the next day a young man came out to give me an estimate and 2 days later Brook and his son Brook Jr dug in the new line and made sure everything was working properly. I highly recommend this company. They will always be my plumbers from now on. Thank you so much!
Marie M.
Brian is a hero for us! WeCo has went out of their way for us more than once and we could not be more thankful for them. Brian worked his tail off hooking up a water softener, filters, and a new water tank all in a day! Shew! They are the best of the best!
Katie W.
Lacey (& John) were so helpful! At 10:30pm I had a major plumbing issue and my usual plumber was not available. Lacey was able to get Jason to my house in a reasonable amount of time to fix the problem! Quick, reliable, communicative, professional and caring people! Glad to have this contact in case of an emergency but highly recommend them!

We can’t say enough great things about WeCo Rooter for the work they have done for our local restaurant. When we needed repairs in our restrooms they arrived when promised and fixed our issues rapidly. Pricing was explained accurately and fairly and they took pride in their work making sure we were 100% satisfied. If you need plumbing work in the greater Columbia area these are your guys!
David F.
I was very happy with the work done, and the promptness of a response. Thank you WeCo Rooter!
Ashley B.
We’ve now used WeCo Rooter twice – once for a planned transition to a tankless hot water heater and again for an emergency issue which ended up not being anything. Al came over for the emergency situation and he patiently ended up unclogging a drain when we thought we needed him for a different reason. While it’s never fun to spend money on things like plumbing, it’s a necessity. We’re glad we found Weco!
