Julie Zhang

On Friday evening we found out that water backed up from basement drain line. We couldn't use water on Friday evening. We called a couple plumping companies on Saturday morning and we were told either to wait on Monday or possible Saturday afternoon. I called Gareth, he told us he could come in half hour. We were so lucky to find him close to home. Gareth came to our house right after the call and he was very friendly, knowledgeable and experienced. He diagnosed our issue quickly. It was caused by clogged main drain line. Gareth has great equipment and our water backup was fixed quickly. Also Gareth's price was very reasonable. Thanks Gareth for your excellent work! We will definitely call him again for all our future pluming work!

VERY expedient and VERY fair pricing. Charged us half of what HaleyMech wanted to charge (just for showing up, then HM would have charged us more based on services provided). Gareth came out to inspect a backup late at night (free estimate), did some work and only ended up charging my husband $40 but only took cash, so we gave him a $50. He told my husband we needed to get the septic tanks pumped before he could snake the main line for us. "Call me back after they pump the septic and I'll come snake the line". Septic pump company left and Gareth was back out a few hours later, snaked the line and explained a lot of things we didn't previously understand. 10/10 would use again

Awesome service! I was referred to Gareth's septic and sewer through a friend based on an emergency leak and Gareth was there almost immediately to help us! He does high quality work and we now use Gareth’s septic and sewer for all of our plumbing needs and will refer him to anyone. Gareth also does drain cleaning too which seems to be something our neighbors need around this area often.

I needed an urgent repair for my sump pump over the weekend because it was running nonstop but not moving the water out. Sara answered my call and was very friendly and helpful, and got Josh out to my house the same day to help. After Josh replaced the pump, he found that the discharge pipe is frozen/clogged as well, so he set up an appointment for Sunday with Matt, who installed a temporary fix to keep things running until the weather warms up and they can fix the main discharge pipe as well. Both Josh and Matt are awesome to work with, they are very knowledgeable, super friendly and professional, and do great work. Thank you so much for everything, I highly recommend Benjamin Franklin Plumbing and will definitely use them again, and tell all my friends about them as well!

I had a great experience with Josh installing my new water heater. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. He showed up on time, explained the process clearly, and made sure everything was installed safely and efficiently. Josh took the time to answer my questions and made sure the area was clean before he left. The installation went smoothly, and the new water heater is working perfectly. It’s clear he takes pride in his work and cares about doing the job right. If you’re looking for someone reliable and skilled for a water heater installation, I highly recommend Josh and his services. Great workmanship and excellent customer service!

I'd definitely recommend this place should you have plumbing needs! I called around 10 places this morning this company was the first to respond with availability today. The owner Mr. Jones was great, and worked professionally. He successfully unclogged the pipes to the toilet & everything is functional again. Thank you R & R Sewer & Drain Cleaning!!

Blake was fantastic! He did a thorough inspection of all possible sources of my leak. He figured it out quite quickly. Every amateurish assumption I had made about what happened was incorrect, and he patiently explained where the leak originated, where it flowed to, and the solution needed to repair it. I am so grateful!

We called Everclear sewer and drain cleaning at 9 pm and they were at our house the next morning. They told us what was needed to be done as well as what could wait but was recommended. They did the work quickly, left my kitchen sink area cleaner than they found it. What a great experience. Bill did a great job!

The worse of the worst thing happened to me this Labor Day Weekend..I had family and friends coming to stay at my house for our end of the summer party and my hot water heater stopped working I couldn't do my dishes let alone no one could even take a shower and with it being a holiday weekend you could only imagine how many plumbing companies weren't open. So I went on a handyman app and within 5 mins I got a phone call from a man that worked at Everclear sewer & Drain Cleaning. He talked to me for about 10 mins to get an idea of what I was dealing with and to see if he might be able to save my old one and me money or if he would have to replace the whole unit. Within the hour he was at my door ready to replace my hot water tank and the best part is he took the old one with him. So I didn't have to wait until my next garbage day. I will definitely be using this company for all my plumbing needs. They saved our end of the summer party. And even tho it was a holiday weekend I thought the price would be double if not triple and it was their normal rate because a friend of mine a few weeks later called them and she paid the same price I did. I will refer all my friends and family to this company.

YU ZHANG (Keanu)

I had a great experience with Z Plumberz. Brian and Kai came out to replace my old cast-iron vent pipe that goes through the roof from the attic. The job was especially difficult because my roof space is very low, and they actually had to crawl a long distance inside the attic to reach the pipe location. Despite how challenging the work was, they stayed patient, professional, and careful throughout the entire process. You could clearly see they took pride in doing the job correctly instead of rushing it. I really appreciated their effort and workmanship. I’m very happy I chose Z Plumberz and would absolutely use them again. Highly recommended!

We upgraded our hot water heater. Tyler was very informative and did a good job investigating our situation. No pressure sales experience and when I finally Said yes he called the supply house to check inventory. He was back quickly and had our water back on in a little more than an hour. Recommend Tyler from Z Plumberz

Excellent and prompt service provided by Angel who repaired a faucet that would not stop running. I was not able to locate another plumber on an emergency basis but ZPlumberz and Angel came through the same day. Angel was very informative and super friendly. The office staff were also very helpful. The experience was great all around and I plan to contact them again for future work.

Day 1: We had the pleasure of working with Braiden and Drew for an entire day of service on a home we are renovating. Braiden came out to bid the job initially and was so great that we requested that he act as lead plumber on the service. Every single detail was attended to with care and professionalism, and both plumbers went above and beyond to walk us through every single facet of the repair or the upgrade so we knew how the equipment would function in the future. As first time homeowners, I feel like I got a first class education in my own house. From scheduling to the additional employee Josh dropping off some supplies every employee I’ve interacted with at Dynamic drains has been thorough, communicative, prompt, kind, and easy to work with. Hire Dynamic Drains! You will not be disappointed! As new homeowners the put us at ease and helped us prioritize a long list of project. Day 2 Update: more stars and abundantly happy! Jason was here today from Dynamic Drains and did an impeccable job cleaning out our sewer line, narrating a video— and I learned a little bit more about this company and how they treat their people. If you want to hire a locally owned an operated company that takes care of their employees AND customers- hire Dynamic Drains! They are such great folks.

I had an excellent service experience with Tendi, who came to repair my kitchen faucet and replace the shut-off valves and lines beneath my sink, including for my dishwasher. He also flushed my hot water heater while he was here. Tendi was also kind enough to put tags on my home's main shut off valves and the hot water heater's valves and to document important information about the hot water heaters's age and the end of its warranty to help me be able to better maintain it. From start to finish, Tendi was professional, friendly, efficient, and thorough. I really appreciated that he took the time to explain everything he was doing and gave me clear options for which issues to address right now versus what could wait. His communication about pricing, timing, and scope of work was crystal clear, there were no surprises at all. The new valves and lines he installed look fantastic. Everything is so precisely fitted and neatly arranged that I keep going back to admire his work! He also cleaned up completely before he left, leaving the space spotless and ready to use. It’s rare to find someone this skilled and meticulous who also takes the time to make sure you understand your home’s plumbing systems. I also want to note that I called Dynamic Drains after hours last night and left a message, and they called me first thing this morning and worked to make sure they could get a plumber out to me today. Excellent service all around. I’d recommend both Dynamic Drains and Tendi without hesitation. [Before and after photos showing the new valves and lines neatly installed and properly supported]

Dynamic Drains provided excellent service from start to finish. We had an unexpected need for a full hot water replacement - set up with Sierra was streamlined and they were able to provide same-day replacement. Kevin was knowledgeable and professional, and educated us on the difference between our options. We can’t recommend them enough!

The guys were here promptly, took the time to really inspect the work needed, explained in great detail the process, and were interested in making sure other areas were addressed in the general vicinity of the work space. Great experience out of the gate. After their review and estimate for the repair, I had them perform the work. Their scheduling was quick, they stayed in communication with me, and were prompted to get back for the repair. Brian and Mark did an excellent job taking care of what needed to be done. Hats off to them all, will use them again when needed.

Overall, I’ve had a great experience with Mitch the Plumber. I had my sewer main replaced 4 years ago by them. They were delicate with the existing plants while digging (saving my most favorite Lilac bush), gave me the cheapest quote, and did a nice job. Unfortunately this year the new pipe settled, and another contractor told me the wrong type of clamp was used. While it was an inconvenience to me, Mitch the Plumber told me this was an issue they don’t see. I showed them the sewer inspection video, and they quickly came out to correct the problem. They stood behind their work, fixed the issue, and even went the extra mile to replace an additional section of pipe all at no additional cost to me. Great guys, I’m glad I went through them. Thank you!

I had to get on here and share about the incredible experience I just had with Jacques from Mitch's! He came in at the beginning of the time alloted, identified and fixed problems so expertly and quickly AND was able to teach me step by step more about plumbing and tricks for future issues than I've learned in years of watching plumbers come through my old house. He was also so respectful and kind about my large and anxious dog, winning her over quickly. Much appreciated and recommended!

He installed our sink/faucet easily and answered all our questions. He did an excellent job and the fees charged were very reasonable. We would use Mitch the Plumber again.

Super responsive. Expert installation. Professional Team. If you are shopping for a plumber, Stop! You've found them. I got a call Tuesday morning from my elderly father-in law that his hot water was not working. One call to the team at Benjamin Franklin and they sent an estimator (Adam) out the same day to identify our problem. He verified a problem with the water heater and suggested we replace a water storage tank was at risk of failure. We had been planning to update the water softener so two installers arrived Wednesday to help us out. Alex and Braden were polite, professional, and did great work. They showed us how to operate our equipment and took all of the old equipment when they were done. I highly recommend this team!

Zack came in and installed a backup sump pump and did an excellent job from start to finish. He explained everything clearly, and was very professional throughout the visit. He clearly knows what he’s doing and took the time to make sure everything was done correctly. I’ve had some terrible experiences with other plumbers in the past, so I really appreciated Zack’s competence, honesty, and attention to detail. The work was done very well, and I feel confident in the system he installed. Highly recommend Zack — great service and a great experience overall.

Professional Drain Cleaning in Ann Arbor

Ann Arbor is known for its beautiful tree-lined streets and historic neighborhoods like the Old West Side, but these features can often lead to complex plumbing challenges. Whether you are living in a vintage home near the University of Michigan or a modern development near Briarwood, a clogged drain can bring your day to a standstill. Our mission is to take the guesswork out of finding reliable help in Washtenaw County. Traditional search results often leave you calling dozens of numbers only to find that every plumber is booked or out of your service area. We’ve changed that process. Our system scans our local network of certified Ann Arbor plumbers, filters them by your specific zip code, and—most importantly—we call them ourselves to confirm they have an opening for you. This high-touch verification service ensures that when we connect you with a professional, they are ready to arrive at your home and fix your drain issue immediately. From the historic student rentals to the sprawling suburban estates, we provide the fastest path to clear pipes in Tree City.

Common Drain Issues in Ann Arbor

In many of Ann Arbor’s older neighborhoods, the majestic tree canopy that gives our city its name poses a major threat to sewer lines. Root intrusion is a primary cause of slow drains and backups here, as thirsty roots seek out moisture in aging clay or cast-iron pipes.

With a high density of student housing and multi-unit rentals near the U of M campus, kitchen drains frequently suffer from heavy grease buildup and food debris. These 'heavy-use' plumbing systems require professional-grade hydro-jetting to clear years of accumulation that store-bought cleaners simply can't touch.

Ann Arbor's water is known for its mineral content, which can lead to significant scale buildup inside your pipes over time. This hard water scaling narrows the diameter of your drains, making them much more susceptible to even minor clogs from hair or soap scum.

Older plumbing systems in neighborhoods like Kerrytown often feature outdated venting or narrow piping that doesn't meet modern drainage needs. This frequently results in 'gurgling' sinks and slow-draining tubs that require a professional touch to diagnose and fix without damaging delicate historic infrastructure.

Seasonal Drain Maintenance Tips for Ann Arbor

As the ground thaws during the typical Michigan spring, increased groundwater can put pressure on your sewer lines. Ensure your sump pump is clear and your floor drains are flowing freely to prevent basement flooding during heavy April rains.

In the fall, Ann Arbor's famous foliage can wreak havoc if leaves and organic debris clog your outdoor perimeter drains or window well drains. Keep these areas clear to prevent water from backing up into your foundation as the wet weather sets in.

Before the first deep freeze hits Washtenaw County, disconnect all garden hoses and shut off outdoor spigots. This prevents ice from backing up into your interior plumbing, which can cause pipes to crack and lead to major drainage issues once they thaw.

During the holidays, be extra mindful of what goes down the kitchen sink. With more cooking happening at home, grease and fibrous vegetable scraps (like potato peels) are the leading cause of emergency Christmas-week plumber calls in Ann Arbor.

Average Drain Cleaning Costs in Ann Arbor

$175-$475

The cost of drain cleaning in Ann Arbor typically depends on the severity of the blockage and the equipment required. Simple snake services are more affordable, while hydro-jetting or main sewer line clearing involving root removal will fall on the higher end of the scale.
