Barry Bumgarner

I highly recommend A&E Anytime. They were on site in less than 2 hours after I called. They had to cable out root blockage in the line. Steven S. and Isaiah S. did a thorough job, and had the line flowing in no time. Steven was very informative about what they were doing, and options I will need to consider later on. I will definitely be calling them for any future issues.

I called A&E Plumbing on Monday evening (after normal business hours) for clogged drains. Neither of our toilets would flush and the drains were backing up. A&E’s technicians arrived on Tuesday around 2:30 and within 2 hours Our family was happily able to use our toilets, sinks, showers and washing machine! The technicians were professional, courteous and even showed me the entire length of our sewer drain on their camera so I was satisfied that there’s no blockage and our pipes were good to go. The price was reasonable and the service was outstanding. If you have a plumbing problem, call A&E. Seriously. They’re a company that cares about their customers, which is getting rarer every day.

Toilet backed up on Friday. After calling a couple other plumbers with no answer, I called and they told me 45 minutes. It must not have been even 10 minutes later and they were knocking on my door. They had more work to do than I originally thought, but they were both quick and professional the entire time.

Jeannette Stecher

We had a backup in our basement and I will note that they got someone out very quickly on a Sunday night. However, the plumber was clearly rushed and didn’t get the clog out of our system, but actually pushed it further down. We had another backup the next day. Also, he cracked the toilet flange on our downstairs toilet. Went upstairs and removed our toilet, snaked in the wrong direction and it went on our roof and backyard. Then tried to put the toilet back on a clearly compromised wax ring, without saying anything. I spoke up and he charged us $100 for a cheap $2 ring. Left a huge mess in our bathroom with wax, mud, grass all over the floor. We had another plumber out 2 days later and they used the clean out under the utility sink (duh!). Got the clog out in 10 minutes and actually checked the main sewer line to see it was flowing. Don’t offer 24 hour service if you’re going to rush through every job.

Rick and his entire team were phenomenal! After doing a sewer scope and realizing we had some major repairs to do to our sewage system, Rick was available to talk through the inspection report and come up with a plan of action over the phone. Once he and his team were on site it was clear that Rick was very knowledgeable and very detailed in his work. He did multiple walk arounds of the property to get a sense of possible solutions for where our new pipes should go and all along the way he explained his thought process and kept me in the loop. Once they began digging and laying in new pipes they were quick and efficient and again very careful with how they went about doing this major repair. I am truly so impressed with Rick and his whole crew. Drain Detectives has been incredible and followed up with me to make sure that everything was completed to my liking and Rick himself came back to the property to make sure that lines were hooked up correctly and that the entire job was totally wrapped up to my satisfaction. I cannot recommend Drain Detectives enough. They have earned their name and are super helpful and get the job done right!

Have had issues for better part of 2 yrs at a Warren house near 9 and Van Dyke. House built in 1950 and believe original main sewer/drain line. Called friday and was able to get an appt saturday. David came out and snaked the drain and fixed the issue. Also replaced my utility sink plumbing which was not what I orginally called about so I greatly appreciate it (was added cost though which I expected). It was crooked, leaking, and missing an AAV. Plumbing has been really frustrating and I finally had got to the end of what I could do without getting thousand dollar equipment. Was able to answer all my general questions related to some research I had done on my situation. Thanks David and h2o!! Really appreciated the service!! Your my first call for plumbing 😀

Great service from Northwest Drain Station today. The technician, Dawson, was thorough in diagnosing the cause of the smell in my basement and resolving it! He explained everything to me in detail, and also gave me recommendations on what I should consider doing in the near future with my old, cast iron sewer drain. I will definitely give them a call when I’m ready to get those things taken care of.

Marc and Jake are incredible! DTE found four gas leaks in my basement today, and these guys were at my door within an hour. They walked me through everything, got right to work, and handled it like pros. They were not only skilled and professional but also super personable, which made me feel completely at ease — especially as a single mom.

We had After Hour Sewer & Water Service come out for a broken shut off valve under our bathroom sink which required us to shut off the water to our house. Dan and his coworker came out quickly on a Sunday to repair it. They were professional, knowledgeable and reasonably priced. I would highly recommend this company.

Nate at Meca was great and the whole staff was solid. I needed a last minute drain scope for a home inspection and they showed up fast and handled everything professionally. They were upfront about the cost too. If the toilet has to come off the price goes up a bit, but they worked with me and made it easy. They also went the extra mile and gave me a video explaining the issue so I could negotiate the home price with confidence. That meant a lot. Good people, good work, and real customer care. I will definitely use them again.

Prompt, professional, polite, personable!! The whole experience with Paradigm Plumbing was exactly what all customer service companies should adhere to. From quote to completion, flawless. Made an appt by phone, office staff was a pleasure to talk to. Kevin arrived on time, heard what we were after, quoted, answered all our questions & sent quote within hours of visit. Scheduling couldn’t have been easier and was on our time (even though they were available sooner). Day of service with Mitch & Jessie was a homeowners dream. Outside was cold, snowy, salty (walk & driveway). They supplied and wore shoe covers to protect our floors without being asked. They worked together beautifully, putting new filter in optimal spot taking up least amount of space and they kept the space clean. Upon completion they explained new water filter system operation in detail and made sure we were satisfied with their work. They stayed and humored us with some good natured small talk and they left our friends. Literally, the Best! Don’t hesitate to call them for any plumbing needs.

Jessie and Mike did a great job! Our job got scheduled the same day, so they had to work extra hours at the end of their day to complete it, which we greatly appreciated. They finished quickly and were very professional and knowledgeable. Jessie had no problem answering all of my questions about why our old water heater failed. Would recommend!

Honest, Professional, and Eager to Earn Your Business Although I ultimately went with another plumber I had already lined up, I wanted to leave this review because of how impressed I was with Ron during our conversation. He was incredibly professional, kind, and upfront. His original quote was a bit higher than what I had previously paid, but he was more than willing to work with me and even matched the price—showing he truly values his customers and wants to earn their business. You can tell he’s honest and flexible, which is RARE and truly refreshing. I wouldn’t hesitate to call him in the future, and I highly recommend giving him a chance. He deserves more business, especially if you’re someone who values integrity and good communication.

I have known Rick for 6 years and like many people I needed a plumber. I have an old SCS home and I hired him based on his high reviews and recommendations. He has been my plumber ever since. He is prompt, reliable, and very reasonable in his pricing. But the best reason to hire him is: he is a great plumber. I highly recommend Rick and trust my home to his expertise.

I hired Rick to take care of many plumbing needs at my rental properties over the past several months and each time I call him he is very responsive and reasonably priced! He fixed a previously repaired faucet that was not done correctly and he did a great job! All his work is quality and I know will last. I’m so glad I found a reliable plumber for all of my future needs!

Professional Drain Cleaning in Detroit

Detroit’s unique mix of historic architecture and modern revitalization means that plumbing needs can vary wildly from the lofts of Midtown to the classic homes in the North End. Whether you’re dealing with a slow kitchen sink or a backed-up main sewer line, finding a plumber who is actually available right now shouldn't be another chore on your list. Our service takes the guesswork out of the process by vetting Detroit’s top-rated professionals for you. We don't just give you a list of names; we proactively call our local network to ensure a technician is ready to head to your Wayne County doorstep today. This means less time waiting on hold and more time getting your home back to normal, whether you're near the Riverwalk or deep in the suburbs. Our 24-hour availability verification ensures that when you need a professional the most, we've already done the legwork to find someone who is ready to work.

Common Drain Issues in Detroit

Many Detroit homes feature original clay pipes that are prone to shifting or collapsing over time, leading to frequent backups that standard DIY methods simply cannot fix.

In established neighborhoods like Palmer Park or Indian Village, massive old-growth trees have roots that seek out moisture, often cracking and clogging underground sewer lines with relentless growth.

Detroit’s history as an industrial hub and the mineral content in the local water supply can lead to stubborn scale buildup inside pipes, restricting flow and causing recurring clogs in older plumbing systems.

With many Detroit homes featuring finished basements, a clogged floor drain can lead to significant water damage during heavy Michigan rainstorms if not addressed immediately by a professional with the right equipment.

Seasonal Drain Maintenance Tips for Detroit

Before the heavy Detroit snow hits, clear out your gutters and outdoor drains to prevent ice dams and meltwater from backing up into your basement.

During deep Michigan freezes, ensure your indoor drains are clear to prevent standing water from freezing and cracking your pipes during a polar vortex.

After the spring thaw, check your basement floor drains for signs of slow drainage, as increased groundwater can put extra stress on older Detroit sewer systems.

Summer is peak season for tree root growth; if you have a yard with mature maples or oaks, consider a preventative hydro-jetting service to clear out thirsty roots before they cause a total blockage.

Average Drain Cleaning Costs in Detroit

$175-$475

Pricing for drain cleaning in Detroit typically depends on the location of the clog, the age of the plumbing, and whether specialized tools like sewer cameras or hydro-jetting are required.

Frequently Asked Questions about Drain Cleaning in Detroit

How fast can I get a plumber to my Detroit home?

By using our zip code filtering and live verification service, we frequently find Detroit technicians who can arrive within just a few hours of your request.

Do you find plumbers for emergency drain calls in Wayne County on weekends?

Yes. Our network includes 24/7 Detroit plumbers, and we personally call to verify their immediate availability for weekend and holiday emergencies.

What is the most common cause of clogged drains in Detroit?

In the Detroit area, we most frequently see issues caused by aging sewer infrastructure and intrusive tree roots, especially in historic neighborhoods with mature landscaping.

Can you help me find a plumber near the University District or Corktown?

Absolutely. We filter our network by your specific Detroit zip code to find the closest available professional to your exact neighborhood.

Is hydro-jetting recommended for older Detroit homes?

For many older Detroit properties with significant scale or root intrusion, hydro-jetting is often the most effective way to restore the pipe to its original diameter without digging.
