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.

Even items which could not be inspected he made suggestions for investigating such as scoping the sewer line to the street. 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.

Got one quote Monday. Called Plumbing Professors (PP) on Monday evening. Scott Vogler, Lining Coordinator for PP, came by Tuesday as promised for a camera inspection and lining quote. He was prompt, very professional, knowledgeable and courteous. He wore booties inside. He took his time, thoroughly explained everything and answered all our questions - even beyond sewer line questions. We appreciated the time he took because we couldn't find any friends with recommendations or online reviews for pipe lining. We considered lining whole sewer line, which is mostly cast iron in good shape but turns to clay near city sidewalk down to manhole, but Scott advised us lining just the clay pipe causing problems with tree roots was sufficient at this time. They scheduled us for first thing Friday, January 2, 2015 - probably could have been earlier, except for holiday. They arrived promptly at 8:30 am as promised. Mitch, Scott and two other workers. They explained again and got started right away. Everything went smoothly. They had all materials ready. Scott informed me that preparation is key and they complete a checklist before they leave office to go to job site. They worked like a well-oiled machine. First, they camera'd the line, then hydro jetted to clean pipe and remove roots, measure, install liner, let it cure in place. They do "pull in place" install as opposed to the inverted method. All work took place outside from clean-out to manhole. Then they gave us a DVD of our line showing before with tree roots and after with liner. They cleaned whole work area before leaving, you couldn't even tell they were there. They pull any permits before arrival. They spoke with city person when he stopped by. From arrival to departure, it took six hours for about 25 feet liner. We paid exactly quoted price - it's flat fee, not hourly. PP has many years of experience in installing CIPP. We first got quote from another good plumbing company, but they just recently started offering liners and hadn't done any yet - plus they couldn't schedule us until February. We were very happy with PP and would hire again and recommend to others. Sewer problems are the worst and it's nice to have some peace of mind.
Ended up with a major repair of sewer line. They completed the job in 1 day and left everything very neat for having to dig up the yard. The service was quick especially during the holiday season.

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...

RE: Excellent Service
Dear Mr. Mike/Owner,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank your company for their professionalism and prompt service today.
A call was logged with Kelly, who was extremely polite and went out of her way to accommodate me. She said that a plumber would be out this afternoon. I was therefore surprised to have a plumber arrive at 12 noon. Mac was very efficient and snaked out our bathroom sink timeously. He was patient in answering all of my questions/concerns. When the job was completed, he cleans up the way he found it. Mac is definitely a team player and I recommend that he received an incentive compensation, for doing extraordinary work. He is definitely motivated to work efficiently and maximize revenues.
Thank you for the quality services and not taking advantage of the elderly. If anyone ask who to call for plumbing, I will make sure to say MR. PIPEY PLUMBING!"

FAQs for sewer line repair projects in Grosse Pointe Woods, 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.
