Best Plumbing Services in Detroit MI

Very impressed with Stadler Plumbing. From the delightful woman that answered the phone to the plumber (Dan), everyone was very friendly and helpful. They were able to accommodate a same day repair and tech arrived within the service window with a courtesy call to let me know he was almost there. They are a little more expensive to others in the area but at least I know I'm getting good quality and good customer service!

Great service. Atheer Siba (aka Art) was my plumber and he was extremely friendly, polite, efficient and affordable ($85). He even taught me some DIY solutions if the problem happened again, openly recognizing that he was potentially costing himself business! Oh and he said after 9pm I could call him as a consultant if I had an issue but didn't want to spend the money on a plumber. What a guy!

The plumber's price was fair but I did not use them.  They responded quickly and the estimate was about what I ended up paying.  I didn't use them because I was not in their area.  But I was impressed by his communication and how quickly her responded.

I called several plumbing vendors to clear a clogged kitchen drain.
Most were unable to make a house call the same day.
I then called Universal who responded within hours.
Bryce (my Universal rep) was courteous, professional, and fast.
I would recommend them and I plan to use them again.

Actually the second time I've had them out (2 separate issues) -- both times they were prompt, polite, cleaned up so nicely, great work and reasonably priced.

I get a drain snaked every spring as preventative maintenance.  I decided to try Birmingham Plumbing Heating and Cooling.  I scheduled a non-emergency appointment almost a week in advance.  Birmingham's plumber ripped us off.  They charged us 2x what Levine and Sons' charged us last year.  RooterMD had done the week 3 years ago and Birmingham was 3x what RooterMD cost.  Needless to say I will never be calling these folks again.

My wife met them and I was not home.  If I would have been home they would have walked away empty handed.  They took advantage of my wife's not being aware of the cost which is even worst.  I would not trust Birmingham Plumbing Heating and Cooling.

Skip this guy. He is a rip off artist. Oh, he seems nice and friendly at first but he'll take you for what you have and do a bad job. He put in new pipes in the basement because sewage was flowing into the basement and he said new pipes would stop that. They didn't. He didn't finish the job properly. After tearing up the cement, putting in new pipes, he screwed up laying the fresh concrete down. He didn't have enough cement to contour the slope of the floor to direct water into the drain so he said he would be back in a few days to finish the floor. He never came back. And when sewage started seeping back into the basement, I called him, NO ANSWER. I text messaged him, NO RESPONSE. I emailed him, NO REPLY. So now he has my money and I have the same problem as I did before but now the sewage is flowing into the basement through brand new pipes.

I LOVE Anytime Plumbing.  Our plumbing problems always seem to occur on the weekend or holiday, and we've had several non-emergency blockages in the last few months.  They have always come out the same day, or the next day if I called and did the job.  They evaluated why we were having so many blockages by running a camera down our main line, and recommended hydro-washing due to excessive buildup and lots of eggshells that didn't make it out to our septic tank. (We've lived here 38 years and never had the pipes hydro-washed)  We had that done, and encountered another blockage  later in the month. They came out within hours, snaked it and they didn't charge me for clearing that one - they also used the camera again to discover that part of the pipe in the main line had deterioriated.  We're waiting before we have that taken care of, but they agreed to credit us the full cost of the hydrowashing when we finally get that done. The technicians are always polite and take the time to explain the problem and make suggestions to prevent future problems.  Highly recommend them!

You never know who to trust when it comes to plumbers or other contractors.  I took a chance and called Levine & Sons for a clogged main drain at our house.  The technician Zack, was both friendly & knowledgeable.  I am always paranoid about the 'price' getting jacked up once a company does the work.  In this case.... i paid exactly what was quoted over the phone.  Like any issue, things can occasionally cost more, if the problem is more complicated than expected.  But in this case, they kept their word on the pricing.  Zack provided information on long-term solutions with our main drain that keeps getting backed up with tree roots every year, but did not 'push' it on us.  At some point we will need a new main drain.  Based on my first experience with Levine & Sons, i would recommend them.  Thank you.

Another reason to go with Aaron Swift Plumbing ... apparently I over paid my bill by $100 and they mailed me a check.  I would of never known.  Thanks!

Update: 05/19 - we had Nelson Brothers out again and our experience was just as fantastic as before. We have roots in the storm drain and missed our yearly preventative clean out last year, so it was backing up just a little with rainwater. Ed came out and worked it for an hour and a half until it was clear and water was flowing!!!

We have dealt with other companies in the past and none have been as reliable or as efficient at Nelson Bros. I've recommended them to friends and don't hesitate to give them 5 stars here!

Another Ann Arbor plumber referred Mitch and his business.  Our business called once and left a voicemail (in fairness, it was on  New Year's day--- fully expected to leave a voicemail).

On Friday, we called back again, and spoke to a person. This person promised to have a plumbing technician call us from the road and schedule an appointment to service our business' bathrooms.

Never received a call back. Nothing.  We had to call and give the business to another plumber in town, who not only called us back, but scheduled an appointment and showed up promptly.

Seems a shame that this business could not just call and say they were too busy to take our work.

I first want to say that Thornton and Grooms does good work--that's not an issue.  When they do come out and after they have done the job, they will try and sign you up to their Platinum Club, for which you pay $26.00/month.  For that you are supposed to get premium service, no $69.00 service charge (for the visit), and a 10% discount on parts.  SAVE YOUR MONEY.   Their big failing is getting a plumber to show up within a designated time frame.  You know:  you set time aside, move your appointments, and then--three times now--they just don't show up.  Oh yes, they do indeed call you to tell you that they are running late and will be coming out, at which point you have to tell them that you can't wait any longer and have to leave.  They seem to be terminally short-staffed.  So why not hire more plumbers???  I don't see the point of paying for better service when you're not getting any, or you are, in the sense of a bull servicing a cow.  The $69.00 service charge that you are supposed to save would be paid by you anyway in about 2.5 months of club dues, and makes you feel obligated to call them instead of a plumber who might show up.  I am done with this club nonsense.  There isn't anything more aggravating in the world than sitting there, with your finger in the dyke, waiting for someone to rescue you, who has lied about even showing up, and it's always on a Friday night.  Someone needs to go in there and punch someone in the nose.  Any of them deserve it; be my guest.

If I could give negative stars I would. I feel Hoover is a predatory company. I get that they are in business to make money, however these guys are a bunch of hustlers. We needed electrical work in our garage and some outlet work. We knew it would be pricey but figured around $1200. They quoted us at $2k. The electrician went downstairs and told my wife that we have a leak in our electrical box and it needs to be replaced. He said it was an emergency and it needed to be done quickly. The wife says okay. She signs up withers finance company greensky and they state the bill is now $5k for everything. My wife calls me at work letting me know what happened I immediately feel it's a scam. Everybody I talk stated I needed to get it done so we go ahead with the appointment. We figured the price was high but they had some decent reviews on Angie's list. They come and start doing the work. As the day goes on they call out DTE to fix wires on the outside. The technician wanted to know why they were putting in a 200 amp box. The electrician says it's the best and biggest there is. DTE guy thought it was overkill. They do some additional work on the outside. I ask will this change the price and electrician said oh no everything is the same. At the end of the day he shows me everything he did. Everything looks great and I would like to note has been running great. He then hands me a bill for $7800. I nearly crapped my pants. Our lawyer who is a family member contacted them and got the bill down to $5k, but what a fiasco. I would strongly recommend not working with these people unless you have money to throw away.

Very satisfied with their plumbing service and can say they went above and beyond.  The service members were accessible whenever we called (even on the holiday!) and came to check our water-leaking problem promptly (the next day in our case).  The service members were friendly and patient.  I would highly recommend them!

SCAM!!! Paid $194.41 to have them come out and fix a slow draining toilet.  First plumber came out and only put an auger in, then said it would take $400 to remove the toilet if needed.  Said the drain was fixed and left.  5 days later, same problem happened, and I had to call them back.   A different plumber came out and did the exact same thing.   Of course, 2 days later, the toilet backed up again.  Instead of paying RotorRooter AGAIN (to fix a problem they never fixed), I called a local plumber and he was able to get the drain unclogged immediately!!  TOTAL SCAM!! They do whatever they can to get you to take the toilet off... DON'T FALL FOR IT!!!

Terrible customer service. Our rental water heater broke, leaked all over floor, ruining floor, and they say they can't come until Friday. Today is Saturday, one week with no hot water? They seem to think nothing wrong with this. We went and bought a tank at Lowes and had it installed same day. $1000 and done. We pay between 50 and 60 dollars every 3 months  to rent, times 20 years. Lots of money to get no service when you need it. Can't wait to call them to cancel except customer service department is closed today, go figure. Oh yeah, now we need a new floor too. Thanks Reliance, for nothing!
