I initially had Roto Rooter out on March 2 due to frozen sewer line that developed while I was away from my home for a few days. Kevin, from Roto Rooter, was very professional and helpful in explaining my options. At first, I decided not to pursue the possibly up to ~$750 it would take to check & open my sewer line. I was in sticker shock and had just had to unexpectedly replace my furnace a couple of months previous. I was hoping with the upcoming warmup in weather and that my sewer line ran underneath my blacktop driveway, that the blockage would thaw naturally. In the meantime, I stayed at friends' houses and installed a drain extension from the p-trap that came off my horizontal sewer clean-out in my basement to my sump. The sump doesn't discharge to the sewer, so I could at least run a little water, but not use the toilet. The final straw came when I thought the pipe had thawed, because after a few days away from the house I was able run water to the drain and flush the toilet, twice! Excitedly I ran the dishwasher and left to go to dinner and pack up from my friend's house. When I came home, there was unusual spots of water in my basement that I discovered the next day was from my toilet leaking thru the wax seal. I decided then, after almost 2 weeks, that I would pay whatever it took to bring my house back to normal. I called ~5:30pm, after usual business hours, and talked to a real person at Roto Rooter who put me on their schedule for steam-open of my sewer line the next day. Friday, March 13, Roto Rooter was able to arrange for their field people to call me when they were on their way to my house so I could then leave work to meet them instead of sitting around waiting for them to arrive. Bob & KG arrived and were very calming & professional. I was tired of the almost two weeks of limbo and fearful of a major mess in my basement (I could still see stains on my basement drywall from a previous owner's sewer clean-out attempts). Bob & KG were very careful to slowly open the clean-out and drain water before starting the steaming. The steaming took quite a bit as the frozen part was quite extensive. Turns out it was not frozen under my driveway but frozen at the northwest corner of my house. It would have never thawed on its own - well, maybe in July or August. Bob dug down in the dirt to where the frozen pipe was. We could see steaming water coming out around it. This meant there was also a leak. Bob & KG fully thawed the pipe and made sure I could run water to drain. I was their last call of the day and they would need to come back on Monday to replace the leaky pipe and install an outside clean-out. I at least could run water to drain over the weekend. They were also gracious enough to steam open the drainline for my gutter downspout - it was also frozen so no water could drain from the gutters down the downspout on the northwest corner of my house - possibly saving my roof and facia from damage from the backed up water in the gutters. Not at all on my list of known trouble - but they saw an issue and helped to prevent future trouble. And they didn't charge me for the steam opening of this drain line. Much appreciated! On Monday, they again called me at work when they were on their way so I could leave to meet them. Bob & KG came back out and made sure everything was still draining well. They replaced the leaky section of pipe and installed an outside clean-out. Now I have the ability of outside drain cleaning access. They also gave me good advice about building up the soil level where the pipe is (to prevent future freezing because it wasn't deep enough) as well as using stacking bales of straw over that section of sewer line for winter insulation (and then being able to use the straw in the spring & summer on my garden). I really appreciate the professionalism and going above & beyond by Kevin, Bob & KG at Roto Rooter. Their service was worth every penny. I would definitely recommend and use them again in the future.

At the time of installation, I asked if the person who was installing the dishwasher was a licensed plumber. Her reply was yes.After 1pm I phoned PHR and asked where the installer was. She said she would contact him and phone me back. She phoned back and said they had problems and that they would be at our home between 2-4p.m. After 4 pm I again phoned PHR and asked where was the installer? She sounded surprised and said she would phone him. She called me back and said they would be there shortly. They arrived between 4-5p.m. In the meantime, my husband and I removed all the ceiling tiles from the basement so they could get to the water and waste lines (directly under the washer). The installer and a young man entered the home. I asked for a business card, he said he didn't have one. I asked him if he was a licensed plumber, he said yes. I then showed him the old Maytag (still under the counter) and the new Maytag sitting next to it in the box. I then showed him the water and drain lines that were connected to the old Maytag, in the basement, directly under the old Maytag, with the shutoff valve. He looked at it, said "This is a big job". I asked him why, and he said the old shut off valve and the approximate 3-4 feet of copper line had to be taken out and replaced with a new PEX line and the valve needed to be replaced, plus the electrical wasn't up to code, meaning I needed to have an electrical box put in. I said OK, get started, it was already 7 hours past when I first expected them to be at my home. He told me he has to ge to Home Depot to get the PEX line. (A licensed plumber with no lines?).He stated that PeX was much more reliable, easier to place in, but was very expensive, but cut the time of installation. So off he went to get some PEX line. He needed about 3-4 feet, but came back with a 10-12 feet of PEX line. (As a side note, he took all of my copper line, plus the copper shut off valve, plus the extra PEX line.) He then put an electrical box in (took him about 10-15 minutes). Then he shuts off the power, moves out the old Maytag, then goes to put in the new Maytag and asks me, "Did ABC sell you the install kit?" I said yes, and that the female office personal had me go through the list of items it contained. He then took the kit and said, "You're missing the very small piece that all Maytag dishwashers need to install them. ABC knows that, now I'll have to go back to Home Depot. So off again he goes to Home Depot. When he comes back he finally gets the new dishwasher in, has a little water put in, hits the discharge button, and then tells me the bill is $600.00. Yup, your reading this right, $600.00. When he left I was so upset I had to go to bed. The next morning I tried the brand new Maytag washer, and no lights, no nothing. My husband and I looked at what little material we had to try to find a reset button, thinking that was all it needed since the "licensed plumber" put it in. We even looked on the internet. No reset button.We phoned back PHR, told them it doesn't work, never was checked out. The plumber (who I still don't have a card or his name), came, went down stairs and said "someone" had plugged it into the wrong socket (which I told my husband to try to reset it by unplugging it and plugging it back in. He then came upstairs, and I asked him to start the dishwasher to see if it will work. Well, he tried, and no it did not work. He said it looked like the front panel was shot, and that wasn't his job, and to call ABC. I phoned ABC, told them the whole story, and they said they would send out their dishwasher repair person, who was Bill Leech Repair Service. They were professional, came when they told us they would be here, and spent 30 minutes going over the panel and then the wiring. Mike (the licensed repair person), came back up and told us the bad news. It was wired WRONG the day before and said he would rewire it correctly. He rewired it correctly, but the panel still did not work. I asked him if by wiring the dishwasher incorrectly, could that have caused the panel to malfunction. He said he could not be sure, but it was a possibliity.For all this aggravation I HAD TO PAY $600.00, not the other way around. Not only that, when PHR jimmied in the new Maytag, he showed me how it was uneven on the left and right sides of the washer. He told us it was our cabinets, but when we had a different installer come with another Maytag for our replacement, HE used a leveler, and the dishwasher is even all the way around AND it works!

He showed up well after 1 pm and finished the job. The plumber was very nice and did a good job, I just wish his company would do a better job making his schedule so that the estimates were a little closer to accurate on when they would arrive.

"This company was recommended to us by several people. Unfortunately, over about 1.5 years of having them perform various services on our home (replacing the furnace, working on the in-ground heating and also repairing some drains in the garage) we are left worse off and thousands of dollars spent with poor outcomes. The furnace was installed improperly which caused an issue when the A/C was used the following spring which resulted in water damage to our basement. This went on multiple times and had to call the company out multiple times before they finally corrected it. The drains that were "fixed" still leak water. The in-ground heating was repaired but they did not have a correct valve part. Once this was finally re-installed the person installing it did not know how to work the system or show us how to use it. We are now calling out someone again on a Saturday to try and figure out the problem. Not a good company"

FAQs for sewer line repair projects in Mulliken, 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.
