Badass Rooter Guy

Destry at TeeGee Rooter |
If you’ve ever wondered… this is what a badass rooter guy looks like.
Last week, I bought another investment property in Boulder. On my lengthy to-do list was to have the roots in the sewer line cleaned out.
When I called to schedule, I learned my usual rooter guy had moved on to other things. So, I did what most people would do. I tried the discounter.
Bigly mistake.
They showed up, made a mess, and after 30 minutes, claimed they couldn’t get through. There was a lot of hand waving and head shaking. Eventually, they gave up and hauled their equipment back up my steps, leaving marks and banging dents into each riser along the way.
“Something is seriously wrong with your sewer line,” the tech said as he took my money. “Good luck.”
“Uh… OK,” I said, relieved that they were leaving.
Issues with residential sewer lines can be pricey. Seriously pricey. Worried, I called up Jeff Anderson, my trusted line repair guy. He said I should try another company. He recommended Tee Gee Rooter.
“If anybody knows how to properly clean out a residential sewer line, it’s Destry,”he said. He even referred to him as “a badass.”
A badass. I had no idea what that meant, but it sure sounded good. I called and scheduled. A few hours later, Destry showed up. He was careful and conscientious about his work. He cleaned up after himself. Within 20 minutes, the line was cleared, the equipment was hauled carefully back out of the house, and I had peace of mind. Apparently, that’s what it takes to be a badass rooter guy.
Phew!
Remember: When it doubt, always go with the trusted referral. As Momma used to say, “you get what you pay for.”
Destry, if you’re reading this – thank you. Looks like I have a new rooter guy.

We can highly recommend Sophie. Her attention to detail and communication skills are great. Our home was in area that most realtors are not familiar with, but Sophie took extra time to get to know the neighborhood in order to give us quality service. She also brought in a professional photographer to make our home look its best. Even though the listing was in winter, the house sold quickly. With Sophie’s business and people skills, we have no doubt she will be a top realtor in the area.
Osman was a refreshingly honest realtor. He stressed through the entire process that his goal was to make me happy with my home purchase. I greatly appreciated the fact that he never shied away from pointing out the negatives as well as the pluses of different places while leaving the final decision up to me.
