Michigan Plumbing

Friendly and professional but outrageous fees for service 15 minute job cost over $250 and was told $500 more to convert a drain that simply needed a new spring loaded cap assembly for $16 .... misleading advice for repair and no discounting for easier than expected repairs

Bait and switch. Was quoted One Price once ground broke was told they would not continue. I then had to pay for more expensive system on the spot. With no explanation.

My bathroom faucet was leaking. Charge to repair was $300. It still leaked and I had to replace it. I bought the faucet on line and was charged another $280 to install it. I felt ripped off.

Don't take time off from work waiting on them. I had a window of 10 to 12 to get an estimate for some plumbing work and even after calling the same morning to confirm that I was still scheduled for 10 to 12 they never showed up and I waited until 130. They didn't even bother calling me to tell me they wouldn't be there.

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.
