Introduction

Friendly, professional, small family plumbing company with over 20 years experience. We are fully licensed and insured. We specialize in drain cleaning and "no-dig" pipe repair. We clean drains with snakes, sewer machines, and hydro jetting equipment to clear just about any clog. We camera any drain we snake or hydro jet (if it is large enough to fit a camera) to verify that is clear. We take particular care in leaving a work space as clean as we found it, treating your home like our own home. We can repair most drains from the inside WITHOUT DIGGING or breaking up your floor. Most of these inside pipe repairs come with a 10 year warranty! As a small business, our prices are very competitive since we have low overhead.

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

We are a small company with lots of experience and low overhead. That being said, we are not "handymen" or "jacks-of-all-trades", we are professional plumbers. We have very competitive rates and our work quality is second to none (as one can see from our reviews here, on Google, Angie's list, or Home Advisor).

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

As the owner of the company, I like to deal with customers personally. I do much of the work myself.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I've been plumbing most my life, I've done residential new construction, repair, and remodel. Also, commercial and industrial new construction and repair. I worked in a parts store for 4 years to learn pipe, fittings, and plumbing parts. I completed a union apprenticeship. I've taken many classes and have quite a few different plumbing certifications.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I'm a 3rd generation plumber. It can be a very difficult and physical job even for seasoned plumbers, but I would not choose to do anything else!

What types of customers have you worked with?

I've worked with all types of customers, from residential homeowners to industrial project managers.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

A homeowner's sewer backed up on a Sunday in St Clair Shores. We snaked out the sewer then put a sewer camera in the line (we camera every sewer line we snake). The line was completely full of tree roots. We were able to hydrojet the line out the same day (at about half the cost of the "rooter companies") to clear all the roots out and make sure we weren't coming back a week later to another flood. It's always nice to be able to help someone out of a jam! The homeowner was completely satisfied and left us a great review on home advisor!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Don't be afraid to ask to see a license or certificate of insurance. "Handymen" are great for installing door knobs but plumbing can be dangerous and very expensive if not done properly. Either of these tips can save homeowners lots of money and hassle down the road.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

Beware of companies that charge "service" or "dispatch" fees to come out and take a look. They tend to be the most expensive companies around (which is why they never seem to be able to give you a price range over the phone).
