I called Tom on a Saturday and he was able to come out on Monday to look at the drain. Tom showed up early for the appointment. He was very thorough and doubled checked his work to make sure everything was working properly be he left. He was very organized, clean, friendly, and polite. I would call him again if I have a problem. I would also recommend him to anyone who needs any plumbing service. His pricing is fair and reasonable.

In the context of a real estate transaction, I sought assistance from a local plumber, Tom, for concerns regarding the sewer drain. Tom demonstrated exceptional friendliness and expertise, dedicating time to thoroughly address my concerns. Notably, despite the fact that his plumbing services were not directly required for the project, he provided detailed explanations and insights. I would recommend Tom Allen and his team for any Plumbing services.

GOAN TRANSPORT

Great customer service! When my husband was sick, and we had to reschedule, the owner or manager wished us well in his recovery!!! What business does that? Totally top of the line. The service men “Nez” I think his name was with the curly hair (sorry if I forgot) and his partner, totally professional! Knows the job very well and educated is on what to do moving forward to properly care for our drains! Prices were affordable & great! No complaints here! I do think that there could be a network of affiliates they recommend, as I need other work done, like plumbing-hot water heater. But I thank everyone for their professionalism, hard work and dedication!!! My house would not run without them. As this is my second time using their service. I’m sure they will be back 🤗

The boys did amazing work! My drains were backed up all weekend and of course when they came this morning they were draining. However they still did the job and now I know with peace of mind the pipes shouldn’t backup again. They were very friendly and made the process feel easy. I appreciate their help and knowledge and I even got to talk a little Anime with them 🥰. I will definitely call them again if I need more help!

I got a recommendation from a friend and called at 6p the day after Christmas. Zach was friendly and efficient, getting me scheduled the next day. They arrived at 9a ready to go. I met with Brandon and his partner who were kind courteous, answering all my questions and concerns. Best price and quick drain clean out. Highly recommend this team of professionals. Thanks so much

Rebecca Blick

Really impressed with Michigan Plumbing. They were very responsive and helpful with a clog and root issue in our main sewer line. The quote from Sandy was accurate, and he wasn't pushy. He took the time to help us understand the situation and our options with that issue and other plumbing concerns we plan to address in the future. We initially had to reschedule the service due to illness, and then the issue later became urgent and we could no longer run water. We needed someone the same day, and they were incredibly accommodating. Joshua came out shortly after our call and resolved the issue quickly and thoroughly. He explained everything clearly and was great to work with. We highly recommend Michigan Plumbing and will absolutely use them again.

Max was wonderful and helped us out so much! Not only did He replaced both valves under our kitchen sink (we had a bad leak), he cut down the copper feeds to make them easier to reach. Additionally, he installed a new faucet for us that I was trying to put in when all of this came to light. Highly recommend and would definitely work with him again.

I'd give this company 10 stars if I could. I'd refer them over and over. Don't waste your time with another company. Whoever put or filtration system in obviously had no clue what they were doing. Bruce came and went above and beyond getting me all fixed up.

One grateful customer today. From the initial contact with Ashley to the craftmanship by Christian and Kyle, Thank you for your dedication to a job well done. My hot water heater was showing signs of a needed replacement. Everyone at American Plumbing made it occur within days. Aaron responded to my early morning email about the job hours before it was scheduled to start. I so appreciate their responsiveness and thoroughness. In the recent past, a sizeable team of professionals from American Plumbing helped to update aging infrastructure at my home with replacement of a water line. The next year, they helped replace the sewer/sanitary line. They even did a subsequent jet clean job for my old drains. Thank you, American Plumbing, for loving what you do. It shows in your pride of work. I also love that my new hot water heater was manufactured in Michigan. What an excellent way to help our communities here in Michigan.

Katie Bentley

Charged $537 to unthaw pipes. $300 service call for a Saturday (long distance from Lansing to Ionia). Honestly not quite that far. $50 for after hours call. $187 to unthaw the pipes. Still had no water when the guy left. Told us he does nothing with wells and basically good luck. Had a small business man come out today on a Sunday (no extra service call charges). Figured out our pipes were still froze and possibly never unthawed at all with all the ice chunks that were on them the guy said. Also had a bad well control panel and switch. Would not recommend this company at all! Price gouged us to death. Dishonest people. The world is hard enough right now and to have dishonest people like this is sickening!

I have had a backyard drainage problem for a few years. The township and county drain commission have not really offered advice or help. These guys came out twice, did a thorough evaluation and offered multiple ways to address the problem, some of which I can address on my own. All for no cost. Very respectful, answered all my questions (and I had alot). Wow. Would recommend that in a second

Called Saturday 1/24 on their emergency line for a frozen rental property. They called back & assured us that we were added to their schedule for Sunday, 1/25. They didn’t show Sunday, absolutely 0 communication. Will not be adding them to our vendor list for our portfolio. Very unprofessional -

Chris and the team were amazing. From the time I made the appointment they followed up, provided text and a call to confirm service, and provided up to date status of arrival. I loved the intro video as well. Chris was great. He explained everything needed for me and gave me guidance on preserving my system. I look forward to using them again (when there’s an issue with my heating system)!

We are very pleased with our a/c installation and other HVAC upgrades. When our 40 year old a/c (finally) took its last breath right before a heat advisory weekend too, Blake stopped by that evening to walk us through all the various upgrades available, financing options, and provided insight and suggestions specific to our living space. Two days later they had a team out with a completely new system with installation done before dinner! Jason and his crew did a fantastic job! While it’s customary for a client walk through with new products, Jason provided very thorough explanations and provided info on all features (when, where, how) and threw in some tips for improved performance and longevity. We’re grateful to have found such a reliable team and plan to stick with them as our sole home/HVAC servicer!

I called on a whim because I was following one of their trucks and saw the number, they scheduled me for the very next day. Saige and Garrett were perfectly on time, having texted while enroute. They both were very cordial and professional, they provided a price to swap out my toilet while on-site. I inquired about a leaky supply line for the toilet and they quoted that right away. I agreed to all work and they immediately went to work. They found the issue with the leaky line and explained why it was leaking. They were great at communicating and very efficient in their job. I'm happy with everything they did. I'll definitely call Aaron's again should I need a plumber in the future.

I had an outstanding experience with Mark and Caleb from Aaron’s Plumbing and Mechanical last week. From the first phone call to the completion of the job, they were professional, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable. Mark and Caleb arrived on time, clearly explained the issue, and walked me through the repair process so I felt completely informed and confident in the work being done. The quality of the workmanship was excellent. Fair price, great communication, and top-notch service. I highly recommend Aaron’s Plumbing and Mechanical to anyone in need of reliable plumbing services!

They fixed the pluming to my kitchen sink. It has been a problem that I tried to get fixed multiple times and no luck. Then Caleb and Mark came to town and saved my wife and I a lot of headache and stress! Thank you so much for the courteous and efficient work! Don’t be afraid to strike up a convo with the employees they are very friendly and helpful.

Common Drain Issues in East Lansing, Michigan

Tree Root Intrusion: Known for its lush canopy, East Lansing's 'City of Trees' reputation comes with a downside. Many older homes have clay or cast-iron sewer lines that are prime targets for invasive tree roots seeking moisture, leading to frequent main line backups.

Student Housing High-Usage: In the high-density rental areas surrounding MSU, plumbing systems often face heavy strain. Accumulations of grease, hair, and so-called 'flushable' wipes are common culprits that require professional-grade snaking or hydro-jetting to clear.

Aging Infrastructure: Neighborhoods built in the early-to-mid 20th century often suffer from scaled pipes and deteriorating lines. These older systems are prone to slow drainage and require delicate, expert handling to avoid further damage during the cleaning process.

Sump Pump and Floor Drain Overload: With the proximity to the Red Cedar River and Michigan’s heavy spring rains, East Lansing basements are susceptible to flooding. A clogged floor drain or a failed sump pump can quickly lead to water damage if not cleared immediately.

Seasonal Drain Maintenance Tips for East Lansing, Michigan

Winter: Insulate any exposed drain pipes in crawlspaces or garages to prevent freezing during Lansing’s sub-zero temperature swings, which can lead to pipe bursts.

Spring: Perform a 'bucket test' on your basement floor drains and sump pump before the spring thaw to ensure snowmelt has a clear path out of your home.

Summer: Be mindful of your garbage disposal during Michigan BBQ season; avoid putting corn husks, grease, or fibrous rinds down the sink as they are the leading cause of summer kitchen clogs.

Fall: Clear all fallen leaves and organic debris from your outdoor area drains and gutter downspouts to prevent autumn rainstorms from backing up into your foundation.

Average Drain Cleaning Costs in East Lansing, Michigan

$145-$475

Typical drain cleaning costs in East Lansing depend on the location of the clog (secondary line vs. main sewer line), the equipment required (standard snake vs. hydro-jetting), and if the service is requested during emergency after-hours.

Frequently Asked Questions about Drain Cleaning in East Lansing, Michigan

How do you verify which East Lansing plumbers are available?

We scan our network for certified plumbers in your specific East Lansing zip code and physically call them to confirm they have an opening for a drain cleaning service today. This saves you the time of calling multiple companies yourself.

Can you help with emergency clogs near Michigan State University?

Yes. We service all areas of East Lansing, including off-campus student housing and high-density apartment complexes. Our verification service is available 24/7 to find a pro who can respond immediately.

Why are my drains backing up every time it rains in East Lansing?

This is often due to East Lansing's high water table and aging sewer infrastructure. Heavy rain can overwhelm compromised lines or push debris into existing clogs. We can find a plumber to perform a camera inspection to find the root cause.

What is the most common cause of sewer backups in older East Lansing neighborhoods?

In established neighborhoods like Whitehills or Glencairn, tree root intrusion is the most common issue. The older clay pipes have joints that roots can easily penetrate, causing massive blockages over time.

Does the hard Michigan water affect my drains?

Yes, East Lansing's water can lead to mineral buildup (scale) inside your pipes. This scale catches hair and grease more easily, leading to frequent clogs that often require professional descaling or hydro-jetting.
