Expert Drain Cleaning in Royal Oak, MI

As a small woman who asks a lot of (maybe stupid) questions, expecting honest answers, I highly recommend Nelson Bros. They are always willing to walk me through what exactly is wrong and suggestions for fixes, and they have never once tried to upsell me on something I don't actually need (even when they stood to make 1000s off of me). We've had Rick out several times for drain scoping and cleaning and he's always straight up with me. I was ready to completely replace our sewer line, and he talked me off a $12,000 ledge. Today, Trevor came out to take care of our AC condensate drain line that was absolutely hacked together and leaking. His solution allowed us to have a quick fix to our issue that reuses perfectly fine existing copper drain line from our AC. All in, it cost $400, which I find to be an absolute steal compared to the $1700 another company wanted to charge to run an entirely new line through the ceiling and across the basement to our laundry tub. He left us with a proper solution that's up to code, kindly explained to me that the pipes aren't connected to meet code and to protect the AC in the event of a backup, and he was respectful of our home. He went above and beyond by making sure that our remaining copper line was properly mounted to the wall to avoid it getting knocked off the old brackets again and again (thanks, other local company...), and he left a clean out access on the new drain pipe (which may be necessary to be up to code code, but if it isn't, it is important for us because our real sewer cleanout access is cemented shut and that's all we have to use for sewer scoping and cleaning). Thanks so much Trevor! We will happily continue doing business with Nelson Bros and recommend all our friends do the same!

Mitch was really great as was his assistant Brendan. The existing sewer tried to be hard to replace but both of them rose to the task and prevailed mightily. They needed to find a clean, strong, piece of pipe to latch the new system onto and ended digging right to the footing of the house to find it. Under very tight quarters, they were able to cut the pipe straight and are set up for another good day tomorrow in order to have my sewer system operational again. A plan is in place and I see them executing it flawlessly. Day 2 arrived, the old pipe was removed as was additional dirt from the trench. They tied onto the piece of solid pipe and reconstructed my sewer system. It's beautiful. We can run water from any of the toilets and sinks, and we can do laundry again. I don't remember the last time a hot shower felt so good!

Very nice. Fast response. Jeremy is wonderful and so helpful. They have done so much work for us on the past. New sewer line. Back up sump pump and more. Sink installation.

The H20 crew did a fantastic job replacing a broken pipe in my basement and clearing out a clogged pipe going to my sump pump. Having never gone through this issue before, they really helped out explaining how the whole process works and what needed to be done. Excellent communication and flexibility with scheduling, which is important with kids and work. I highly recommend reaching out to them with any plumbing issues! I know I will again if needed!

These guys just re-did the sewer in my backyard and they did an AMAZING job! They were friendly, professional and best of all it was the fairest price I have found ANYWHERE near us! They gave me the piece of mind I have needed! My basement is water free and the sinkhole in my backyard is gone! My dog and son are now safe from falling in the hole and my brand new Furnace is now safe from water damage! Thank you from the bottom of my heart H2O Plumbing Sewer and Drain! I will definitely be recommending you to all my friends and family and will call again if we need any more major repairs!

Joe, Mike, Jay were fantastic in everything thing they did and said. There work was professional done and the clean up was as well. I will continue using them for there honesty and trustworthy. Jacob is a another awesome true dedicated hard worker just be ware ladies when working he may remove his shirt. H2O worked fantastic with my insurance adjuster even he was felt there honest with them.

Carter's was able to get a technician out the same afternoon that we called with a drain clog in our main septic drain line. Steve quickly evaluated and corrected the immediate issue, provided followup recommendations, and was overall knowledgeable and helpful with both the primary concern and about our general home systems. We recently purchased our home so he offered advice on other areas to have checked out and resources to help us. Overall the service was quick, clean, professional, and well priced. I was especially glad he was able to resolve our problem the same day with the tools he had on hand. We'll definitely contact Carter's again in the future if we have any issues.

Josh was amazing and very knowledgeable about his craft. The job was done very Professional and in a timely manner. He was also very friendly and kind and patient and answered all of my questions it made me feel good about completing the job correctly. I also wanted to note That the service was done on a Saturday so it was a little bit more expensive but so worth it!

Honestly, if I could give Austin ten stars, I absolutely would! He showed up right on time and brought a very supportive attitude along. He really knows his stuff—he was incredibly thorough and took the time to properly diagnose the issue rather than just guessing. He weighed every possibility and suggested a course of action that actually made sense, which we appreciated so much. In addition to technical expertise Austin is just a genuinely great guy—immensely helpful, thoughtful, and professional. We are so grateful for his help! If you’re looking for someone you can truly trust to diagnose a complex issue he is definitely your guy and Carters Plumbing is who you call!!

Gold star plumbing & cleaning totally saved the day when our kitchen sink backed up. their plumber arrived on time, essessed the clog carefully, then worked efficiently to clear everything out. They explained what caused the blockage and gave tips on how to avoid it in the future. great workmanship and very professional will call them again

Craig, Mike and Cory were absolutely the best!! They came out evaluated the situation and made recommendations!! Came back 2 days later and cleaned out the drains. Both times they were professional, thorough and explained exactly what needed to happen!! Great crew and great work!

Dwayne and Jonathan did a great job! Had a back up / blockage of the drain going to the septic field. They diagnosed it and used their camera to solve the problem the same day I called! Super friendly, quick, and clean! Highly recommend!

Needed a water heater replaced. Jennifer was very patient and helpful, and worked on their schedule to get me in the next day. Tony and Owen were very clean, efficient and friendly and did an excellent job. Overall no issues and very happy with the price and experience. They did some previous work for us that was also top notch.

Having service professionals who you can trust and feel good about with helping you maintain your home is easier said than done these days. Thankfully, we discovered Putman & Sons Plumbing a number of years ago in an emergency situation and feel confident that any future plumbing needs we have will be well taken care of by this wonderful company. Over the years, they’ve done a variety of projects for us. Every plumber who came to our house was professional, polite, friendly, knowledgeable, experienced, timely and did a quality job. Questions were always answered in an understandable way. It is also notable that they kept us informed of who was assigned to our work, when they would arrive, and if any changes to the schedule and/or work was required. We appreciated this communication.

Super fast and super efficient. When the last plumber couldn't beget the job done. They came the same day, unclogged my pipes so me and my family could be comfortable and use the water until our pipes could be replaced. Thank you! We appreciate you!

SDP was very prompt and ready to assist. Jason was our plumber for the service and he did a very thorough and detailed job. He was informative and persistent on making everything function and we are greatful. Excellent job.

Great company for all your plumbing needs. Steve and his team are always available even in a pinch and do great work. Highly recommend them!!

They did a fantastic job! They were honest, polite, and charged a very fair price. I will definitely be calling them again if I have any more sewer issues. Highly recommended!

Robert and his brother came out to do a sewer inspection for a house in southgate Michigan. Very through and did an excellent job explaining everything they were doing as they were doing it. They even checked some other things out for me in the plumbing around the house and gave me 5 star advice. I recommend these guys to absolutely everyone and I truly believe they are the top #1. If. Could give more than 5 starts I would. THANK YOU BOTH FOR THE AMAZING SERVICE

George and Robert came to my home on the west side of Detroit. They were courteous professional and on time. They were able to snake my bathtub and vanity so water would drain properly. Highly recommended!!!!

I needed a new drainage system for my sump pump discharge. Drew and the crew did and awesome job with my dry well and now we don't have an issue with a flooded front yard anymore. Thanks guys. I would recommend you guys because you do good work.

It was the second time to use the company(the first time was for my old house). Gaven and Max did an excellent job fixing the clog. They were very professional, worked carefully and responsibly, and handled everything smoothly. I especially appreciated how clearly they explained the process — they were both knowledgeable and courteous. I would gladly use their services again. Thank you!

I am very satisfied and impressed with the work Universal Plumbing completed for me over the past week. Their quote for replacing a drain line beneath the concrete in my basement was provided quickly and was more competitive than others I received. They began the tear‑out the next morning and had my plumbing functioning again by noon the following day. The inspection and concrete restoration was accomplished efficiently in the days that followed, and the final result looks neat and professional.

We had a sewer line backup caused by tree roots, and this company did an excellent job helping us resolve the issue. They quickly diagnosed the problem, performed hydro jetting, and excavated and replaced the damaged clay pipe with PVC. The crew was professional, knowledgeable, and worked very efficiently. They explained everything clearly and made the whole process much less stressful. What really stood out was that they came back afterward to make sure everything was flowing properly. Their pricing was also very reasonable for the amount of work involved. I truly appreciate their honesty and the quality of their service. Thank you again for doing such a great job. Highly recommend!

On initial visit for drain backup symptoms, Andrew worked hard to investigate and triage, exposing a deteriorating connection in addition to the backup. Clearly explained options. In follow up service (after septic tank vacuuming), Anthony and Jordan provided exceptional professional experience, resolving all issues with the least invasive measures necessary and taking great care to protect my property as they worked through a cleanout in family room. They thoroughly answered all of my questions, reviewed camera footage with me, and provided clear recommendations for future service. Everyone I’ve talked with at ED&P has been pleasant and clear, including a manager. Pricing seems very reasonable, and services rendered match the needs rather than maximizing profit.

Fry and Jordan came out to hydro-jet our main sewer line, and they were courteous, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. I truly appreciated the insight and advice they provided, explaining everything in terms that were easy to understand. They did a fantastic job and made sure everything was cleaned up before they left. Great company—I highly recommend them!

Ron came out within an hour and provided us with fantastic service. Worked on snaking our drain and was able to get our issue fixed in an hour. I will be calling him again if I need anything plumbing related. Highly recommend his services!

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.

Ron is Fantastic Professional Honest Reliable and Relentless. He is the only plumber that I have had that has the dont quit mentality. I would Highly recommend him for all your plumbing needs. He is all that and fair. Call him you wont regret it. Never will I go anywhere else he's truly Professional give him a call you wont go wrong
