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!

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.

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!!

Argelia Soto

Years ago I had a major flood in my basement. I went to go to laundry room and stepped into water. I didn't know what to do or where it was coming from. I ended up calling mainline to have a plumber come check things out. David S showed up within the time frame I was given and right away had idea where it was coming from. Failed sump pump! He gave me some options to get the water out of the basement and got to work quickly. Within 1 hour, most of the water was gone and the new pump was working great. David was very patient with me since I had no clue what was going on or how sump pumps even work. David was able to give me other options to help alert me when the pump fails with an alarm and a emergency pump to get me by while I wait for help. Needless to say, i set up that appointment right there on the spot, i didnt want to go through that ever again. Everything has been great since then. So when I woke up recently to no water coming out of my kitchen faucet, I didn't hesitate to call Mainline and ask if David could come out. 1.5 hours after I called, I can happily say I have water again for a very reasonable price. David treated my home like it was his own making sure to clean up his work area, is very knowledgeable, patient, and it's obvious he takes great pride in his work. Thanks for always being there for me Mainline and David S.

We have been happy customers of Mainline Plumbing for many years. They have done jobs of every type here, the sewer line out to the road, sump pumps, discharge sewer pump, water heater, drain cleaning, bath fixture repair, I can’t even remember them all. Each and every job has been top quality. Every employee has been very kind to us. Harold worked for a long time on my bathtub fixture issues recently. He’s very kind and never rushes me with all my questions. David has done remarkable work with our sump pumps. Unfortunately, we have a lot of ground water and sump pumps are something we must keep up with. He does careful work and checks to see everything is working properly before he leaves. I’m so happy with how much information he always gives me and advice about what to do in the future. I would recommend Mainline to anyone. It’s wonderful to know that we have people we can trust when we need them

Highly recommend Mainline plumbing! We had David and Jamie out today and they had to put in a new sump pump. Both are highly knowledgeable and professional. David explained what they needed to do and they both kept me updated on how it was coming along. I’m very happy with their work, and the respect they showed towards me and my home. I have used Mainline Plumbing in the past and have never been disappointed.

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.

I am giving this place 5 stars based on the fact that i called on a Sunday afternoon with a major backup they were there in 2 hours to get me back to flow. The details of what happened after that aren’t perfect, but I won’t discredit a company based on one bad apple. Nate, Lee, Dan, Craig were all great and very helpful. For my specific job the guy running the show was Travis, he was awful and I hope you ask for someone else if you can request anyone else but Travis you will be happy. I can nit pick pricing it might not be the cheapest place but the work they eventually did do was correct and Jessica in the office was great to deal with sending Craig back to my house to fix all of Travis mistakes for no charge. This is how Travis left my toilet after re mounting it himself this was his work. Craig came back and took care of business, my 9 month pregnant wife and me are very appreciative of that. Give this company a chance in any emergency situation, they were prompt and had all tools required to get rid of my backup right on the truck and cleaned out a major blockage after eventually gaining access to it. I will attach photos of the corrected toilet later today and edit this post. Honoring mistakes goes a long way! I added a photo of the corrected toilet done by Craig. It looks great.

Travis and Nate came out to do our drain cleaning and they were awesome. Super friendly, easy to talk to, and just all-around good guys. They showed up on time, got right to work, and had everything cleared up quicker than I expected. The price was very reasonable too, which was a huge plus. No surprises, no pressure — just honest work done well. If you need drain cleaning, I’d definitely recommend them. Great service, fair pricing, and genuinely nice people

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.

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.

Verify Availability Before You Call

Professional Drain Cleaning in Southfield, Michigan

Southfield serves as a major commercial hub for Oakland County, known for its iconic 'Golden Triangle' and a mix of well-established residential neighborhoods. Whether you are managing a busy office complex along Northwestern Highway or living in a classic mid-century home near Lawrence Tech, a clogged drain can bring your day to a grinding halt. Finding a reliable plumber who is actually available when you call can be the biggest challenge in the metro Detroit area.

That is where our unique verification service steps in. We don't just give you a list of names; we actively scan our network of certified Southfield plumbers, filtering specifically by your zip code. We then call them to confirm they have the tools and the time to fix your drain issue right now. This ensures that when we connect you, the professional is already pre-vetted and ready to head to your door, saving you from the frustration of endless voicemails and 'we're too busy' responses.

Common Drain Issues in Southfield, Michigan

Aging Infrastructure: Many of the charming homes in Southfield were built between the 1950s and 1970s. These properties often still feature original cast iron or clay sewer pipes that are prone to internal corrosion, scaling, and eventual collapse, leading to persistent slow drains.

Tree Root Intrusion: Southfield is celebrated for its lush urban canopy, but those mature trees have extensive root systems. Roots are naturally drawn to the moisture in sewer lines, especially in neighborhoods near the Rouge River branch, often causing severe blockages that require professional mechanical cabling or hydro-jetting.

Basement Floor Drain Backups: With Southfield's flat topography and heavy seasonal Michigan rains, basement floor drains are critical. When these clog due to sediment or debris, it poses a major flood risk for finished basements, requiring immediate 24-hour intervention.

Commercial Grease Build-up: Given the density of restaurants and office parks throughout Southfield, local sewer lines often face heavy grease loads. This creates 'fatbergs' in the pipes that require high-pressure water jetting to clear effectively without damaging the plumbing.

Seasonal Drain Maintenance Tips for Southfield, Michigan

Spring Thaw Prep: As the Michigan snow melts, ensure your basement floor drains are clear of dust and debris to handle the increased hydrostatic pressure and prevent seasonal seepage.

Summer Root Maintenance: Late summer is when tree roots are most active in Southfield. If you've had slow drains in the past, schedule a camera inspection before the autumn rains begin to catch root growth early.

Fall Leaf Management: Before the first freeze, clear out any outdoor area drains or trench drains. Leaves mixed with early snow can create an icy sludge that blocks drainage and leads to pipe expansion and cracks.

Winter Pipe Protection: During Southfield's sub-zero winter nights, even a small clog can cause water to sit and freeze in your pipes. Keep your home at a consistent temperature and address slow drains immediately to prevent a total frozen pipe burst.

Average Drain Cleaning Costs in Southfield, Michigan

$145-$485

The cost for drain cleaning in Southfield typically ranges based on the location of the clog (sink vs. main sewer line), the method required (snaking vs. hydro-jetting), and whether you need emergency after-hours service.

Frequently Asked Questions about Drain Cleaning in Southfield, Michigan
