Best Businesses in Detroit, MI

Jeremy installed a power-vent water heater for my father and he did a great and clean job, came on time and was accommodating to my fathers schedule. I now have a reliable Licensed Plumber I can call if I'm in need!

Great service!! They answered at 7:30 in the morning and informed us they had other apps Mets to get to but would see us later that day. They showed up and fixed out issues in no time. They were very pleasant and  informative. The price was very readable too! We will be using them again

Affordable Plumbing helped me out of a jam when I had a sump pump issue. Quick call and they were in the area. They stopped by with a spare part I needed and helped me ! I will definitely be calling these guys if any other plumbing needs come up !!!

BCA Sewer, Drain And Plumbing Solutions, LLC
HUGE shoutout to you all ! I had what to me was a plumbing disaster with a major backup/clog that included toilet, shower and sink and in under 2 hours they came out immediately and fixed the problem. I love supporting family owned businesses, they were honest, and informative. Give them a call for any and all your plumbing needs !! I can't thank you enough for going above and beyond.

Punctual, fair price , good work, what else could anyone ask for in a plumber. I would not hesitate to hire them again.

John Lococo, owner of Northwest Drain Station, responded to my calls for a plumber on September 17, 2017, and October 14, 2017. In both cases I paid him $125 by check. I have bank records which corroborate my two $125 payments to this plumber.  I gave this business a poor rating because although I sent my brother (as my agent) across the street to contact the owner in an emergency on October 14, 2017, I was the customer as evidenced by the checks signed by me and cashed by John Lococo. The owner failed to respond to the call until mid-morning the following day. Then he asserted that I was not a customer and therefore my review should not be published. This defense does not even pass the giggle test. Yelp is apparently so easily manipulated that it bought this specious argument, which would be laughed out of court. I have bank records that corroborate payments by me to John Lococo, for the above dates, so Lococo's response to my review is dishonest and disingenuous. The business advertises 24-hour service, but it failed to provide it in my case, and then relied upon a laughable defense that I was not a customer because in the second incident, my brother, who resides with me in a home I own contacted the plumber. Records show a payment by me to Lococo dated October 14, 2017. Why would I have paid $125 if a service had not been performed for me by the payee? If Lococo's service and my payment don't make me a customer, what exactly is required to establish that I was a customer who transacted business with Lococo, not just once, but twice in the span of less than a month? The owner's new defense is as specious as the old one. My brother was sent across the street to attempt to reach this plumber at about 12:30 in the evening after we were unable to reach him by phone despite his claims on his website that he provides 24-hours service. He was too lazy to walk across the street to do a 5-minute job at 12:30.   The first time he snaked the toilet, he just showed up after I called another plumber, who sent this guy because he lives almost right across the street. I did not choose him, he chose to take somebody else's call because he lives across the street from me. Then when we had an emergency at around midnight, we attempted to reach him by phone. If you call after normal business hours, all you get is an answering machine which he apparently responds to at his convenience. Hardly what I would call 24-hour service. I have gone through numerous iterations of this review because the owner has misled Yelp, so the staff in San Francisco has a hard time knowing what should be published.  I am just trying to publish an honest review of a business I used twice and have no intention of ever using again. In the dozen or so years during which I have used Yelp. I have never reviewed a business that I have not personally used, yet that was the basis for denial of my last iteration. Because I knew Yelp had been misled, I checked my bank records and located corroborating evidence for two transactions with this business in the second half of 2017. The owner has obfuscated and cried foul in an effort to prevent an honest review from being published. This is simply an effort to set the record straight. I am sorry this individual chose to respond to a call I placed to another plumber. I have never spoken to this individual other than the first time he showed up at my house uninvited.  I allowed him to spend 5 minutes in my home and paid him $125. Rather than being grateful for the business, he failed to respond to an emergency a month later because he did not want to be bothered. I have given this review more time than it deserves because I am trying to set the record straight. This is an honest review of someone I consider to be a dishonest plumber, in my opinion. If you want to use him anyway, you are entitled to transact business with whomever you choose. I will say that I have Yelped any number of businesses in the last 10 or 12 years.
I always prefer to write five-star reviews, but I write whatever the experience warrants. Although this is hardly the first one-star review I have written, John Loroco is the only business owner who has whined like a big baby and attempted to discredit the review in any way possible. If that doesn't speak volumes, nothing does.

Honesty ls still around! Jay the technician was amazing!  Fast, efficient, and very personalble.
And best of all...he didn't rake us over the coals! Andrew his assistant, has a knack of jumping right in when needed. Together they make a great team. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY.  THANKS FOR BEING HONEST !

our 1st call was for sump pump - very professional - will definitely call them again

Herb and his team were kind, prompt and honest. Can't ask for much more when it comes to contracting big jobs! Herb was able to quickly come and properly assess what work we needed done. He wasnt trying to scare me into believing anything needed to be done other than what he could see during the inspection. I will most definitely be hiring plumbing express again in the future.

I called yesterday with a leaking shut off valve. Brian called me back the same day. I told him what my problem was and he professionally told me that he could try to squeeze me in sometime tomorrow or for sure Monday. Brian called me back today and was able to squeeze me in. Brian did professional work by replacing the shut off valve and while he was here I had the fill valve and flapper replaced. I recommend calling Kennedy plumbing from simple fix to extensive work. Thank you for a great and professional job well done. Five star outcome

I use these guys in my own hoe as well as they are often my first call to refer to friends, family, or customers of mine needing emergency plumbing. Great bunch of guys--straightforward and honest, which is not standard in all plumbers. Highly recommended!!

The first time I ever needed a plumber was back 2009 or 2010 and our home warranty called and sent Mike from Absolute Plumbing. I explained what was going on and he spent time finding the issue. He took his time and was up front about things. Since that time whenever we need anything I call him. I have kept his number this whole time.
I have recommended him to friends and he will tell you if he can do it or not. We were just talking the other day when he came out to install a new toilet in our basement and he noticed another problem that might be an issue down the road and told me he don't do that kind of work anymore. He did recommend another company if need be. He has done everything from replacing pipes underground to just tightening something under the sink at my house. Mike even came out on New Years Eve of 2022.
Called to check today if anything was leaking from what he just installed Monday. Then I realized I have never reviewed them.  I will continue to call Mike from Absolute for all my plumbing needs and continue to recommend him.
Some of the items he has done in the past.....
Toilet repair, Drain cleaning, Plumbing leak detection, Plumbing pipe repair, Faucet repair, Sewer cleaning, Toilet installation, Faucet installation, Sewer repair, Plumbing leak repair

Took advantage, took $70 for a trip fee and charged $389 for snaking a drain and couldn't even do the job! All the while still had the audacity to charge the full price simply for coming out. Would you pay a pizza man if they came to your house without the pizza and still expected you to pay for it? Don't waste your time and energy and use an ACTUAL plumber that knows how to do their job.

I had a wonderful experience. After three days of raining, I woke up to ankle high water in my entire basement. I called around for time and pricing and Pauley's was the only plumber able to come to my house immediately and their pricing was very affordable. I keep the business card on my fridge because they will be my first call next time!
