Editorial Review
Our Take on Bison Plumbing
The repeat detail in Bison's reviews, specific technicians named for specific jobs over and over across a review base this large, is the kind of pattern that is hard to manufacture. A 4.9 average holding steady past 3,400 reviews says more about consistency than any single five-star review could.
Best for: high-volume, highly rated plumbing across metro Detroit
What We Like
- 4.9 rating from 3,482 Google reviews, read September 18, 2026
- Reviewers repeatedly name individual technicians (Rick, Derek, Damani, Tyler) for specific jobs
- Serves metro Detroit from a Warren, MI base in Macomb County
- Regular weekday hours plus Saturday morning availability
- Camera inspection mentioned by at least one repeat customer
Things to Consider
- Posted hours run Monday-Friday 7:30am-5pm and Saturday 9am-1pm, closed Sunday, so confirm overnight emergency coverage directly
- No license number, year founded, or credentials published on the Google listing; ask for the technician's Michigan plumbing license before booking
- Based in Warren rather than Detroit proper, so confirm response time for addresses on the far side of the metro

About Bison Plumbing
Bison Plumbing has spent years building one of the most reviewed plumbing operations in metro Detroit, and the numbers back that up: a 4.9 rating from 3,482 Google reviews, read September 18, 2026. The company works out of Warren in Macomb County and takes calls across the wider Detroit metro area, the kind of coverage a homeowner in Detroit, Warren, Roseville or the surrounding suburbs would rely on for anything from a stuck garbage disposal drain to a full camera inspection of an aging sewer line.
What stands out reading through the reviews is how often customers name the actual technician who showed up. Rick and Derek get credited with tracking down a gurgling disposal drain that another well-known company had already misdiagnosed. Damani is described as on time, personable and willing to explain the work before starting it. Tyler is thanked for identifying and fixing a leak quickly with clear pricing. Vern gets a shout-out for recommending colleagues who then did good work themselves. That pattern, real names attached to specific jobs and repeated across thousands of reviews, is harder to fake than a generic five-star rating with no detail behind it.
Bison keeps regular hours: Monday through Friday 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM and Saturday 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, closed Sunday. That is a normal working week for the trade, not a round-the-clock operation, so anyone with an overnight emergency should confirm on the phone whether after-hours dispatch is available before assuming it is.
Who this fits: homeowners across metro Detroit who want a plumber with a long, consistently positive review history and are comfortable booking during standard business hours. Who it fits less well: anyone who specifically needs guaranteed overnight or holiday emergency response, since the posted hours do not promise that.
Before booking, ask for the technician's individual Michigan plumbing license number, confirm whether the diagnostic fee gets credited toward the repair, and get a written estimate before any work starts. Reviews mention upfront pricing consistently, but confirming it yourself protects you either way.

What are Bison Plumbing's hours?
