Recent Plumbers Reviews in Detroit
- Cregger Plumbing, Heating & CoolingFantastic job, Brian was very knowledgeable, removed water line to fridge. replaced with new braided lines and shut off. also serviced some outside faucets that were leaking. Will set up return visit once new parts are available for exterior faucets. Cleaned up behind fridge at job completion. Very satisfied
- Cregger Plumbing, Heating & CoolingCregger is a fantastic company to work with, especially because I had to schedule several visits during the week to temporarily disconnect sumps and reconnect after another contractor performed work in my basement. They can be trusted to be on time and perform work in a professional and thorough manner. I highly recommend them to my neighbors and friends, or anyone who needs their plumbing, heating, and cooling needs addressed
- Cregger Plumbing, Heating & CoolingAn appointment was made for a sewer line inspection. Call was effectively handled. Derek arrived on time.Process was explained.Derek followed his procedure answering my questons.Information following the camera inspection was helpful.
- Cregger Plumbing, Heating & CoolingWe noticed the faucet was leaking over the weekend and contacted Cregger for emergency repair. While waiting for the tech we figured out the leak wasn't too terrible and could wait until the work week. Cregger was great in scheduling work the Monday after the weekend, saving us the cost of emergency repair was well. The plumber they sent was great, and found that the faucet itself had failed. So I went and purchased a new faucet that night and they came back Tuesday to install. I appreciated their working with me to save a little money for installation of a new faucet, had to wait a couple days but it was worth it for me. Very good company who I use for all my plumbing and heating and cooling needs
- Cregger Plumbing, Heating & CoolingSump pump replacement was done as an emergency on a Sunday. Took about 8 hours to show up after I put in the emergency request. Had sump line snaked during normal business hours. Plumber did a very thorough job and got the line unplugged.
- Cregger Plumbing, Heating & CoolingThe master plumber Kevin did a very good job in repairing my yard backflow valve. Their estimate is free. Kevin came to my house on time, found the problem and repaired immediately. The charge is lower than I thought. Will definitely use them again.
- Cregger Plumbing, Heating & CoolingCregger Heating/Cooling and Plumbing made time to fit me into their schedule at the end of the Fourth of July holiday to take care of a burst pipe that occurred in my basement on Monday, July 5. Their emergency service sent out a great man, Kevin, who was so helpful and kind while I was panicked about what to do and who to call. He was very reassuring and made certain that I had at least running cold water in my house until I could schedule an appointment for the complete repair. Cregger was able to fit me into their schedule on July 7, very quickly, despite what I am sure has been an extremely busy couple of weeks since the recent flooding rains in June. I was happy to see Kevin return to do the repair. He went the extra mile by replacing the bathroom sink pop up, which I discovered was broken on Monday. He also quickly noticed that the standing shower where the mitigation crew had placed the hose for the dehumidifier was not draining, and he took care of that problem as well – a problem I did not know I had. I have used Cregger in the past – found you on Angie’s List – my go-to for reliable and trustworthy services around my house. I have been very happy with your services and your personnel who have always been great to work with. I will continue to count on Cregger in the future – hopefully not for a long time! – and will absolutely recommend you to anyone I know who finds themselves in need of a good company and people that can be counted on to do outstanding work. Thank you again, and a special thank you once again to Kevin who had to deal with my panic and tears. It was such a relief to see help arrive so quickly when it was needed
- WaterWork PlumbingVery well. Service rep, Brian, arrived on time reviewed the problem and went to work. Completed rhe rask cleaned up, and explaned what he had done, presented the bill and was gone. Everyrhing is working as it should. Will hire again if needed. Thank you
- WaterWork PlumbingExcellent. Very professional and reasonably priced. Will be contacting them again for future work!
- WaterWork PlumbingDon arrived on time. In fact he was slightly early. He resolved both issues to my satisfaction. One of my issues needed a new part, which he had on his truck. Very pleased with the service provided by Water Work.

Plumbing FAQ
-
How much does a plumber cost?
Answer: The cost of a plumber ranges from $175 to $480, with a national average of $330. However, the price will vary depending on job complexity, timing, location, supplies and materials, permits, and level of expertise. These costs typically include toilet repairs, faucet installations, and leaky pipes. In addition to the service call, you may also need to budget for haul-away and trip fees often required during more complicated jobs. Ask your local plumbing contractor about these fees before hiring them.
-
How much does a plumber charge to replace a toilet?
Answer: On average, you can expect to pay your local plumbing contractor between $125 and $230 to replace an old toilet, with most residential homeowners paying around $150 to $180 for professional installation. You’ll need to consider materials and labor when calculating a final price. Not all toilets are equal. Depending on the brand you choose and the features you want, a new toilet might run you anywhere from $100 to $1,300. Add in the price of labor and installation, and your total project can jump up to $200 and $1,500.
-
How much does a plumber cost to fix a toilet?
Answer: According to our service providers, it costs roughly $75 to $200 on average to have your toilet repaired. However, this price will vary depending on the complexity of the job and the materials needed for the fix. Repairs can be messy and less-than-pleasant to address, but having a functioning toilet is most definitely necessary. If you’re experiencing problems with your toilet, contact a local, reputable plumbing contractor right away, as avoiding repairs can lead to bigger—and more expensive—issues over time.
-
Is liquid plumber safe for septic systems?
Answer: Good news! Liquid-Plumr® is safe for septic systems. Most drain cleaners disrupt the pH in your septic tank, which prevents the good bacteria from breaking down septic waste. The chemical make-up in Liquid-Plumr® works with the bacteria to break down waste quickly without harming your septic system. Still, it’s best to confirm with your local plumbing provider if Liquid-Plumr® is the right solution for your system.
-
How much is it for a plumber to unclog a toilet?
Answer: Even the most well-maintained toilets experience clogs. It’ll cost you an average of $200 to $700 to unclog your toilet. Severe clogs will require a more comprehensive repair method, so check with your local plumbing contractor to determine the best approach for unclogging your toilet.
-
Is Liquid-Plumr®, or any other liquid drain cleaner, safe for septic systems?
Answer: Yes and no. Liquid-Plumr® and other drain cleaners are most effective when used sparingly (one to three times a year). Repeated use of liquid plumber on drains could deteriorate your pipes and cause more damage. If your pipes clog frequently, put down the liquid plumber and call your local plumbing contractor immediately.
