In fact, the quote we signed was 8,800 but when Aaron saw we had sand, not clay, credited us $400. Who does that? I cannot understand the F reviews - it seems to be from those who didn't get an appointment? He is very busy and unlike many contractors, won't take on work if he can't schedule you in. I guess we got lucky. We would give Aaron an A++ if I could. He & his family run business were simply a joy to work with.

He is more expensive than most inspectors, but easily saved me thousands by providing plenty of ammunition to reduce the offer on the home to compensate for needed repairs, plus providing the peace of mind that the home was well inspected. Inspection was a full 6 hours for a 2300SF home, and could have been done about an hour less, but Patrick educates you as he notices things. So if you already feel educated, you may find it too long, but if you want or need the information, he will provide it. He also gave excellent instructions in the report regarding items such as how to switch over from heating to cooling with the furnace and humidifier. Worth every penny.

We have lived at our home for 20+ years, and have had services performed through the years for a lot of normal home repairs. But Nu Pipe was the best. They replaced our existing whole house trap with a standard access point, having to break up the cement in the basement to remove the existing trap and put in the new pipes. They removed the exhaust pipe that was attached to the whole house trap. They also replaced the toilet with a new toilet. The owner of the company, Dave, came out to give us a quote, and while at the house, Dave noticed that the drain pipe from the upstairs bathroom had some cracks in it. He offered to replace this pipe free of charge as part of the overall work. The Nu Pipe crewed showed up on day one, and were extremely kind and polite, treating everyone in the house with respect - from my five year old to my father-in-law. They worked hard and fast, and kept things as clean as possible. They kept my wife appraised on what they were doing, explaining to her each action they were doing. They showed everyone the video inspection of the sewer line, encouraging everyone to take a look at how clean they got it prior to putting in the Cipp liner. They then showed everyone how the liner looked after installation. Everything they did made us sure that we had made the absolute best decision going with Nu Pipe and would recommend them to anyone with sewer line issues.

Sewer Line Repair reviews from real Angi homeowners in Dearborn, MI
We had water backing up into the clinic and I was afraid of calling a plumber due to how much I thought it was going to cost. We called Klearline sewer and drain service. They came out immediately, they snaked the drain twice and had a mess they cleaned up! Their fee was very reasonable! I...
Perfectly. All employees were competent, friendly, clean and interested in doing a good job. The faucets and drains have never worked better. And no doubt the sewer line will be better than the nearly collapsed Orangeburg that was replaced.

Everything went great. We had no working sewer lines which was an obvious problem. One of the larger companies wanted over 15K for the same pipe bursting work. Another quoted 12K to excavate. We just didn't want to deal with digging up the landscaping. In fact, the quote we signed was 8,800...

"I contacted Gary's plumbing to check out a dripping shower faucet. His estimate was in keeping with others. Unlike other businesses with an answering service, Gary communicated directly with me through texts, including requesting pictures, to understand the issue beforehand. He spent a good deal of time working on a part that was stuck. When it wouldn't budge, he explained what would be needed to fix it and did not charge me for the visit. I would definitely use their services again."

FAQs for sewer line repair projects in Dearborn, MI
The average cost to snake your main sewer line is around $250 for a simple snake. Most sewer line specialists charge between $45 and $200 per hour for main sewer line snaking, so the time involved plays a major role. The price you’ll pay will depend on the severity of the clog, the item causing the backup, how long it takes to remove the item, and more. A more severe issue that requires unclogging a main sewer line will cost $3,100 on average.
Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
You should not attempt to snake your sewer yourself. Accessing and snaking your sewer requires heavy-duty equipment, and while renting is possible, misusing it can damage your sewer main and leave you with very expensive repair costs, not to mention potential environmental issues and severe water damage. Accessing your sewer also exposes you to hazardous sewer gasses, and failing to seal the sewer properly after work can be very dangerous. It’s always best to hire a professional sewer cleaner near you to handle this type of work.
The average cost to unclog a drain is around $200, with prices ranging between $110 and $800, depending on the type of drain and the extent of the clog. Hiring a professional to snake the toilet or sink will usually cost between $110 and $275, a bathtub or shower typically costs around $225, and a main line clog can cost between $100 and $800 based on the severity of the clog and how far beyond the access point the clog sits. Since the labor involved varies, most plumbers will charge an hourly rate for drain cleaning.
The average cost to hire a plumber is around $100 an hour but can vary between $45 and $200 an hour depending on the plumber’s experience and the repair that you need. It’s also important to note that these prices can go up on holidays, and emergency plumber rates average $150 per hour, in addition to a flat-rate trip fee of $100 to $350.
