About us
A local plumber with the yellow van
True Rooter & Plumbing works out of a shop on Broad Ave in Wilmington. If you have seen a yellow van with the license number painted on the side, that was us.
We handle homes, shops, restaurants and industrial sites, and the work runs from a dripping kitchen faucet to a collapsed sewer line under the driveway. Our trucks carry sewer cameras, hydro jetting gear and electronic leak detection, so we can find the problem before we dig.
Customers keep calling us back because we pick up the phone at any hour, we show up when we say we will, and we explain the repair in plain words before we start. Several of our Google reviewers say they have used us for many years.
We hold a California plumbing contractor license, and we take Visa, MasterCard, Amex, Venmo and cash.
