Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Kalamazoo
6827 Stadium Dr Suite B, Kalamazoo, MI 49009, USA
(269) 421-5113I've used Mr. Rooter twice so far, and both experiences have been great! Most recently Jeremy serviced my rental property when the main line got clogged up. His communication was amazing, and he was very detailed in explaining the issue. I also appreciate him answering my questions. He had the line cleared up in a timely manner and he double checked to make sure everything worked. The price was pretty much what I expected. I'd absolutely recommend this company!
4 months agoJeremy came out on two occasions to fix drain line issues for our new house. From start to finish he was professional, kind, engaging and thorough. There were no hidden or unknown costs and everything taken care of for us in a timely manners. We also appreciate mr. Rooter’s scheduling tos we asap and with 48 hours each time. Will definitely use them for any other plumbing needs as well as recommend me. Rooter.
5 months agoThis company and it's employees are just wonderful. Victor and Jeremy and their co worker did an amazing job on a ton of plumbing work we needed done at our new home. They were very knowledgeable, helpful, kind, curtious and conscientious. Even my dog loved them! Great, reasonable rates, easy to work with, and they offer all kinds of services. Highly recommend!
5 months agoDrain Monkeys
8322 Newells Ln, Portage, MI 49002, USA
(269) 366-8087HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Drain Monkey is a trustworthy plumber. It’s a family company that is very transparent on pricing. Very efficient and honest. As a bonus, the owner and his son are very personable and easy to talk to. He put me at ease immediately. I love to learn about how the issue can be avoided in the future and it was explained that our builder grade basement toilet has an area that easily causes backups and showed me the area so I could see myself. He didn't suggest a new toilet but I asked for a suggestion and he gave me 2 recommendations and explained why he suggested them. He didn’t try to upsell, it was my questioning. Plan on replacing toilet when we can and will definitely hire them for the install bc we know it will be done correctly by them.
4 months agoKeegan showed up in the midst of a snow storm and took care of our problem skillfully, explaining every step. He had our best interest as his top priority the minute he stepped in the door. The price charged for the work done was very reasonable. No high pressure upsells attempted. I highly recommend Drain Monkeys.
4 months agoI had kitchen drain issues that had been a problem for quite awhile. I called the Drain Monkeys company and they came out the same day to fix the issue. Keegan was very kind, and knowledgeable of the issue and took the time to explain to me what was causing my issue and what he would be doing to fix it. He also, took time after to provide me helpful hints that would aide in preventing the drain from clogging again. I very much recommend them. I believe I was initially talking with the owner of the company and I was very pleased with his patience of listening to my concerns and worries because I had some reservations about plumbers and costly repairs. Would 100% call them first if ever needed again.
3 months agoQuality Plumbing and Drain
2972 Business One Dr, Kalamazoo, MI 49048, USA
(269) 388-8413It was an okay experience, they did the work and did it pretty fast, but they ended up using my household items for stuff like cleaning up drain water, they also used my cooking pot to hold drain water while they ran to grab things from van or supply house, they used an entire roll of MY paper towel, and also ended up using my hand rags to clean drain water. Again they did the work, and it was fast , but they ended up using my household items when they should’ve been more prepared and brought their own, especially when I spent 400 dollars for 2 drains to be cleaned. They also put the pot back in the dish rack to act like nothing happened and they didn’t use it but it was still dirty from drain water. My girl took this pic before they put it back. Unprofessional in my opinion.
5 months agoWas able to come in same day to unclog my kitchen that had been backlogging. Work was done quickly and professionally and the tech cleaned up afterwards--even the residue that had been left in my sink from sitting water! Afterwards the tech explained to me how the clog had occurred (cast iron pipe) and how to prevent it for a while.
3 months agoCalled Quality Plumbing & Drain here in Kalamazoo when we needed help with our water heater repair and water filtration system. The tech showed up on time in a clean, marked van and was super professional from start to finish. They explained everything clearly and had us back up and running the same day. Great to have a reliable plumbing company in Kalamazoo we can trust!
8 months agoDrainwRx
5770 Venture Park Dr, Kalamazoo, MI 49009, USA
(269) 388-8427If you think a simple plumbing cleanout in a 150-year-old house is straightforward, think again! What began as a “let’s just clear the drain” visit turned into a week-long game of hide-and-seek with surprises only an old house can offer. Calvin at DrainwRX never missed a beat, he patiently walked me through every twist, turn, and historic hiccup like a plumbing tour guide. Each day brought a new plot twist, and each time, Calvin had a solution and a reassuring explanation. His calm attitude made the chaos almost fun (well, as fun as plumbing gets!). If your home has more character than you bargained for, Calvin is the guy you want on your side. Five stars, hands down!
6 months agoDrain wRx is always reliable and persistent. Drain cleaning and jetting can be very difficult but Calvin always comes through and wont quit until the job is done right and the customer is satisfied. Thanks for all your help!
5 months agoGreat service at a fair price. Came the same day on short notice. Highly recommended!
4 months agoRoto Rooter Plumbing Service
5189 King Hwy, Kalamazoo, MI 49048, USA
(269) 205-8224We appreciated a quick response and identification of the problem. Kaiden explained what, why and how he was going to correct the problem and was considerate of his time so we were not charged more than needed. He cleared the drain while being respectful of our home and he meticulous cleaned up. It was a positive experience.
3 months agoVinny was very professional and did a great job! Not only that but he was able to come out the next day! He thoroughly cleaned and checked that the drains were flowing freely before cleaning and packing up. He informed me about the options for addressing the roots in the line and what he would recommend. I’m very happy with the service I received and would recommend calling roto rooter to anyone having drain/sewer issues!
5 months agoI do most all my own mechanical work so I don’t normally have to call in a professional. However, a water heater replacement exceeded the tools and time at my disposal. I called around and landed on Roto Rooter/Zimmerman plumbing for their abundant kindness and willingness to answer my many questions. I cannot say enough good things about Spencer and Rob, the guys who came to install the new heater. They introduced themselves with a handshake and were incredibly kind, professional, and respectful of our home. Their work was a synergy of skill, diligence, and efficiency. This dreadful project of mine turned out to be an enjoyable and meaningful interaction with some of the best men you will find in the service business. I am grateful for the excellent service I received from Roto Rooter today, and as a result I will be sure to give them my business in the future. I’m happy to say the water heater works pretty good too.
7 months agoCichy Plumbing LLC
Foxwood St, Richland, MI 49083, USA
(269) 360-2082Easy online scheduling. Put a request in after hours got a call back first thing in the morning for same day appointment. Transparent with pricing and no hidden fees. Work was done well and in timely fashion. Straight forward job for a clogged kitchen sink. Did not try to upsell me on another disposal system. Very clean and kept workspace tidy. We will definitely use again for our plumbing needs. Very highly recommend.
4 months agoBrian will always be my go-to plumbing contractor when I need the services of a plumber. He is all of the following: professional in appearance and manner, thorough in his evaluation of what is needed and highly competent in getting the job done. I have had many contractors in my home over the years. Brian is the only one that I would feel comfortable having in my home while I was absent. He really did treat our home as if it was his own. I highly recommend Brian. He is passionate about his craft. It shows in the end result. Thank you, Brian, for what you did to improve the quality of life in our home. I sleep better now not worrying about our aging plumbing that you replaced.
5 months agoI requested my repair online at his website and received a call that day. I was able to get an appointment to meet my schedule which I appreciated. Brian arrived very promptly and was super polite. I really appreciated him wearing booties while he was in the house! He was very clear on my options allowing me to pick what worked best for my budget. He completed the work quickly and made sure to go over the bill and repair to make sure I was clear on what was done. I would not hesitate to call Brian again next time I need a plumber.
6 months agoMatt Rogers Plumbing LLC
7923 Owen Dr, Kalamazoo, MI 49009, USA
(269) 217-5410We had sewer backing up in our downstairs bathroom, I called these guys at 615 pm and a tech was there in less than an hour. He had the stopage opened up in no time. Highly recommended, very friendly and easy to work with. Even with the after hour charge it was still very reasonable. If I ever have plumbing needs in the future I will be calling them again.****Edit***** I retract my 5 star and giving a 2 star now. After the initial visit it was working fine, however 1 week later the exact same thing happened so I called them back. The tech apologized and took all the blame saying he was supposed to camera it when he was done to make sure everything was OK. However after they came out again and DID camera like they were supposed to they discovered a second tank. So first time out they just pushed a hole in my tank giving it enough room to drain for a week. In my opinion the $200 service call should have been waived which the bill was 360. I have no problem paying for the time out here but I honestly feel they tried to get one over on me.. I contacted dispatch and discussed this with him and he agreed to give me my 200 back.. its been almost 10 days and I've yet to see my refund. Lots of reputable companies out there.. I'd reccommend trying somewhere else. Only reason for the 2 star and not 1 star is the tech was super nice and admitted his mistake.
3 months agoDJ and his crew provided excellent service for our sewer line repair. My sons were enraptured with the work and the crew answered all 3,618 of their questions with courtesy. Their expertise and consideration saved me thousands of dollars and I am extremely grateful. Thank you!
3 months agoThey truly saved the day. They arrived quickly to repair a burst water line and then replaced a faucet as well. The work was high quality and handled professionally from start to finish. Tyler was extremely helpful, and everyone I spoke with provided excellent customer service.
3 months agoPortage Plumbing Services
862 Lenox Ave, Portage, MI 49024, USA
(269) 372-5902We had an excellent experience with Portage plumbing. We got three quotes for a bigger job we needed and this company saved me a significant amount of money with a fair quote and did quality work. The plumber was professional yet personable and seemed very knowledgeable and confident. I had a very old large concrete utility sink in the basement that my washer and water system drain into that could no longer hold water. He removed the old sink, installed a new one, and installed new pipes underneath. He cleaned up everything well and checked his work carefully for no leaks. Thank you Patrick! I am pleased with everything and will certainly use this company in the future.
3 months agoI had a great experience with Peter Gonzalez who took care of my plumbing issues today. He was very professional, knowledgeable and explained everything being done to resolve my concerns. A true gentlemen, professional, customer focused plumber who put my mind at ease knowing everything got taken care of. Thank You Peter! You are A1!!!
2 months agoExcellent service from start to finish! Mason and Luke arrived on time, were polite and knowledgeable, listened to my concerns, and explained the problem and the repair process. Great company, honest and professional. I will not hesitate to use them again in the future.
2 months agoService Professor
5015 E Michigan Ave # D, Kalamazoo, MI 49048, USA
(269) 440-6354Update: Jason was back out today. He almost immediately said it was not the same as he left it. It had already sank a few inches by the time the office finally scheduled someone back out. After discussing it a few minutes it came to light that the sales guy I spoke with the day before was adamant about the placement, causing it to be installed on the frozen mud. Jason assured me they would come back out to level it with pea gravel in the spring when things had thawed. As difficult as the office was, the technicians were outstanding. We had Billy and Jason out to install an additional electrical panel, a new furnace, and an ac unit. They were leaving just as I got home so I didn't speak with either. We were mostly satisfied with our service. The furnace is running great, or house doesn't seem to have a many cold or hot spots, and it's much quieter than our old system. Then we went outside to were the ac unit was installed. They put it on a pile of dirt that was remnants of our fence being installed. I tried calling the company in good faith , was told the project manager would be in touch that day out the next, and here we are 3 days later without a word from them. Now that the snow is starting to melt you can really see how poorly it was done. The pad doesn't even touch the ground completely. And to make matters worse, after paying $23k already we will probably have to shell out more to get the unit moved.
3 months agoJoseph came to our house and was extremely pleasant. Fixed the problem and then went at it one more time after clearing just to make sure it was perfect!. Truly enjoyed working with him he's a great communicator and made the project fun. My wife actually came and just to see why we're having such a good time had picture taken with her new friend. I was also surprised at the price the 19.95 special's the real deal I was quoted over $200 from another provider for just the first hour! We are very happy with the result!
4 months agoThe group of guys came out today to install a generac generator. Very polite, professional and knowledgeable! Everything works and looks great! I would recommend this company and especially the group of guys that did the work! I'll be calling if I am ever in need of anything else in the future!!
8 months agoPreferred Plumbing & Heating
7760 N 6th St, Kalamazoo, MI 49009, USA
(269) 903-2891I just want to say how impressed I am with Jamey. - Was early to the job. - Professional and personal. - Worked super hard -- I just saw it. - Dealt with surprises (old cast iron drain nobody knew about, debris in the pipe, a dead AC unit just sitting on the roof, and more). - Took leadership on the job site (directing the roofers to do this-and-that). - Coordinated with Laurie @ LASR (our Association Management partner). - Vacuumed / cleaned up my place before leaving. He is a rock-star!
7 months agoMy wife and I had been planning a new bathroom in our basement for a few years. As anyone that has taken on a project like this worries, how do I pick the right contractor? Will their work be worth the money and will we regret our decision to go with this contractor. Well, if you are smart and want a job done that is above and beyond you expectations. Then don’t hesitate to pick up the phone and call Preferred Plumbing. Matt and his team are the consummate professionals! As with every big project, there are some curveballs. Matt took them all in stride and went above and beyond to make sure everything was done and done right. Even when things that were out of his control went sideways. He was right there to make it right. Everything they did for us was first rate. And every one of his crew that came into our home were professional, courteous and very knowledgeable. Check this worry off your list, your in good hands! Having them back to set the fixtures. I will update with photos! Thank you so much Matt!!
1 year agoIsiah came out on a call to help replace some connectors on my water pipes that had an active leak. He helped walk through the work that would need to be done to address the issue and was very professional the entire time. Even when wrapping up the work, he showed pictures of what was done and made sure our needs were met before departing. For an unfortunate situation, it was a great experience. Would recommend!

Common Drain Issues in Kalamazoo, Michigan
Hard Water Scale: Like much of Southwest Michigan, Kalamazoo deals with significant hard water. Over time, mineral deposits like calcium and magnesium build up inside your pipes, narrowing the passage and making it easier for hair and soap scum to cause stubborn backups.
Older Infrastructure: Many historic homes in areas like the Stuart Neighborhood or Vine have aging clay or cast iron pipes. These materials are prone to cracking or collapsing, leading to frequent slow drains and recurring sewer line issues that require professional hydro-jetting.
Invasive Tree Roots: Kalamazoo's beautiful, mature tree canopy is a city treasure, but those roots love seeking out moisture in old sewer lines. Root intrusion is a primary cause of major exterior drain blockages for local homeowners, especially during the spring growth spurt.
Basement Floor Drain Backups: With the high water table and frequent rain in the Kalamazoo River valley, basement floor drains often back up during heavy storms. This usually indicates a blockage in the main line that needs urgent attention to prevent localized flooding.
Seasonal Drain Maintenance Tips for Kalamazoo, Michigan
Fall Leaf Management: As the leaves drop in Kalamazoo, ensure your outdoor drains and gutters are clear. Organic debris can easily wash into basement entry drains, causing sudden clogs during the late autumn rains.
Winter Pipe Protection: Before the Michigan deep freeze sets in, disconnect garden hoses and insulate exposed pipes in unheated crawlspaces. Frozen pipes often lead to cracks that only become apparent as 'clogs' or leaks once the spring thaw begins.
Spring Rain Prep: With the spring melt, Kalamazoo's sewer systems work overtime. Have your main line inspected and cleared of any winter debris to ensure your system can handle the increased volume of runoff and heavy Michigan spring showers.
Summer Kitchen Care: Between summer BBQs and home brewing, Kalamazoo kitchens see a lot of action. Avoid putting fibrous vegetables or grease down the disposal, as the humidity and heat can cause grease to solidify faster in your pipes.
Average Drain Cleaning Costs in Kalamazoo, Michigan
Pricing in Kalamazoo typically depends on the severity of the clog and the equipment needed. A simple sink snake starts lower, while emergency after-hours service or hydro-jetting for main lines will fall on the higher end of the spectrum.
Frequently Asked Questions about Drain Cleaning in Kalamazoo, Michigan
Why should I use your service instead of calling a Kalamazoo plumber directly?
We save you time by doing the legwork. We filter through 14 local plumbers by your specific zip code and call them to verify they are actually available to come out today, so you don't waste time on busy signals or unreturned messages.
Are the plumbers in your Kalamazoo network certified?

Because we verify availability before connecting you, we aim for same-day service. In many cases, we find a technician who can arrive within a few hours of your request.
Does the hard water in Kalamazoo affect how often I need drain cleaning?
Yes, the high mineral content in Kalamazoo's water can lead to faster scale buildup. We recommend a professional cleaning every 18-24 months to prevent scale from causing permanent pipe damage.
