When did plumbers become scam artists? If you are looking to get scammed, this is definitely the company for you!\r

I had a slow drip coming from my shower head and because I'm in the middle of planning my wedding I didn't have a whole lot of time to deal with it, so I decided to call Roto-Rooter Plumbing. They were able to send someone out that day, which was great. But when the plumber got to the house, he told us that because my house is ""so old"" (built in the 70s) I needed a whole new faucet system at the cost of $875. \r

It seemed a bit nuts to me that the answer to a drip is to replace the whole system, so I sent the plumber away and didn't pay him a dime. \r

I started searching YouTube and found that the problem was most likely a tiny rubber washer that had eroded and could be easily replaced. Let me be clear...I am a single woman in her 20s! I have NO experience with plumbing or anything of the sort, BUT I also don't have $875 laying around, especially one month before my wedding. So I watched some YouTube videos and took a trip to Ace Hardware. I spent $9 on supplies and within one hour I had replaced the rubber washer. Guess what? The drip is completely gone! PROBLEM SOLVED!\r

Seriously, if I can fix the problem in under an hour, then anyone can. There was absolutely no need to replace the whole system. This company is a complete and utter scam! Don't call them for ANY reason!
