Michigan Plumbing

I live in an apartment and the complex hired then. They were to replace my tub and shower. They didn't have the right tub, didn't measure when they gave estimated. Then when they did I now have holes in the wall and they didn't put up plastic to prevent dust from being all over the place plus stained my carpet.

Way too expensive. Needed two faucets installed and a toilet unclogged. They quoted $750. GTFO.

Had the faucets installed. Serviceman was friendly enough and install them he did, but he dinged our wall.

Save some bucks and get way better work done by calling G & C Smith Plumbing instead.

It's been about 1 1/2 years now since we unfortunately hired MI plumbing to replace our main sewer line. Not long after we moved into our home, the drains in the basement backed up, and we had them come out and snake them. They ran a camera through and confirmed with my husband that the old clay pipe was infiltrated by roots. Problem was temporarily fixed, but it wasn't too long before we had to do it again, and then again. Tired of the hassle and just wanting the problem to be taken care of once and for all, we had MI plumbing give us an estimate to replace the line. It was over $3000.00, but was to replace the line out to the main. Like I said, we just wanted it done! Well, the day they came out to our house, the ""lead"" for their team was not a very friendly guy, not awful, but just not very friendly. He was smoking in my front yard the whole time and left his cigarette butts on the lawn, which would have been forgivable if that was the worst of it. After tearing up my entire yard, ripping out my front walkway, and basically getting to the end of the job, he tells me that they can only get out to about three feet from the main, as there were ""fiber optic lines just before it, and it would raise the cost of the job up to around $10,000 to work around them."" So, ""you'll probably have to stay on an annual schedule of getting the line snaked to keep the line from backing up again!!!!"" Are you kidding me????? That's exactly what we were paying to avoid, and they had the front of the house surveyed for lines and flagged prior to starting, so how did they not know about these lines before they locked us in with a backhoe and trashed yard???!! They left our yard a dsaster for months to boot.

Do not trust Michigan Plumbing. If you do end up hiring them, don't let them get away with charging you for work that is less than what you hired them for. Get it in writing and hold them to it!!!

BEWARE BEWARE
ALWAYS get a quote from another plumber before using this company or risk being grossly overcharged.

Had pipes that were clogged and Michigan Plumbing came out to snake a camera and do a Jet flush to see if that would free the clog, which it did not. That alone was almost $450. We were told that roots were blocking the pipes, and to waterjet the roots from the exterior cleanout would be another $800 dollars. We decided to decline any further service because the price seemed very steep. After shopping around, we found four other companies considerably cheaper than Michigan Plumbing, and selected one that was available within a few hours. Long story short, the guy showed up, looked at the exterior cleanout, and realized the problem was with pipes inside the house, and everything outside was fine. Another 30 minutes later, he took care of a root problem with a drill bit for $180, told us not to waste money on waterjetting the exterior pipes, and everything was fixed for less than what we were quoted with this company over the phone. We would have basically spent $1250 and still had clogged drains if we selected Michigan Plumbing. I asked around, and MI Plumbing is known for ridiculously high rates with spotty service. Either their plumber was trying to scam us or had no idea what he was doing, but we will absolutely avoid Michigan Plumbing at all costs.

When we had them put in a water heater last year the installer creased it and the office would not return calls. Yesterday waited all day for a plumber from them and then they call us 12 hours later. When we tried to reschedule for the next morning because it was too late for us was told no. Take the plumber now or forget it was their response. Then they called the next morning and tried to get us to take the call, but we already scheduled another company.

Steer clear of this company. We had low water pressure and the guy who came out immediately said we needed a new pressure tank. He replaced it, we still had low pressure, and he left, saying the pressure would return. Of course it didn't so we called someone else out who fixed the problem in less than an hour for $95. When I called MI Plumbing to tell them about this they service manager was rude and argumentative but finally gave me a partial refund. These folks are way overpriced, and I don't trust their work.

$200 for a 5 minute test. Made several calls to get the results with no avail. Expensive and unreliable. Still no results. Very unprofessional!

We made an appointment with them to look at a outdoor faucet. They were a no show, and no one contacted us after that day. I took that as a clue not to do business with this company.

Reading the other reviews, I have to agree that this is a company I would never, never do business with. Called them to clean out a sink drain in my bathroom. They would not tell me over the phone how much it might cost. I only wanted an estimate but they said they would have to come out an look at it.

Guy got here walked into the bathroom turned on the water and said ""Yep, your drain is clogged."" Reall???? Gosh I'm glad I had a certified plumber come out to tell me that because I never could have figured out why all that water in my sink wouldn't go down.

He told me it would cost $200. This is the most I've ever heard of to run a snake 10 feet down a drain. The only reason they wouldn't give me a quote over the phone is that they knew I would have said ""forget it!"" They figure that once they're in your house and have waited for them that you'll just say, ""Well that's pretty steep but now that you're here, go ahead and do it""

I told him to forget it. I called Allen Plumbing and he did it for $100.
