Editorial Review
Our Take on Plumbing Techs of Michigan
A 4.9 average from 756 Google reviews is the number that stands out here, and it is backed by published licence numbers and a two-location footprint rather than resting on marketing alone. The published weekday-only hours are the obvious caveat, so treat this as a strong choice for planned work and call ahead if you need weekend cover. Worth asking about permits and the scope of the advertised two year labour warranty before you sign anything.

About Plumbing Techs of Michigan
Metro Detroit plumbing work is defined by the age of the housing. Oak Park, Ferndale, Royal Oak and the Detroit neighbourhoods just south of Eight Mile are full of homes built between the 1920s and the 1950s, which means galvanised supply lines that have narrowed to a pencil's width, cast iron and clay drain lines out to the street, and basements that flood when a spring storm overwhelms an already loaded sewer. Plumbing Techs of Michigan sells into exactly that reality. The service list, taken from the company's own site, runs from water heater repair and replacement through tankless installs, drain cleaning, sewer line repair, sewer video inspection, water line and gas line work, gas leak detection, repiping, slab leak repair, sump pumps, kitchen and bathroom plumbing, clogged toilet repair and backflow testing and repair. There is also a commercial and construction side.
The scale matters when you are choosing. A crew described as roughly 20 people, split across the Oak Park base and a second office in Wixom, sits in a useful middle ground. It is big enough to keep a camera, a jetter and a sectional machine on the road and to send a second technician when a job turns out bigger than the phone call suggested, and small enough that the company still describes itself as family owned. Larger national franchises in this market tend to price from a flat-rate book and push replacement over repair. A single owner-operator will often be cheaper but can disappear for a fortnight in the middle of a busy season.
On credentials, two licence numbers are published, 8108197 and 8001200, the first presented as a master plumber licence and the second as a plumbing contractor licence. That is worth noting because Michigan requires permits and inspection for water heater replacements, gas line alterations, repipes and sewer work in most municipalities, and an unlicensed installer cannot pull them. Ask directly whether the permit is included in the quote and who schedules the inspection. Ask the same question about backflow: many Oakland County and Detroit water departments want a certified tester's report filed on a set schedule, and the value of hiring out that job is having the paperwork submitted correctly rather than just the device tested.
The company advertises free estimates, straightforward pricing with no hidden charges, a two year labour warranty, financing, and background-checked and drug-tested technicians. Those are claims from its own marketing rather than independently verified facts, but they are the sort of claim a buyer can test in one phone call. Get the two year labour warranty in writing on the invoice, ask what it covers on a water heater as opposed to the manufacturer's separate tank warranty, and ask whether the free estimate applies to diagnostic work such as camera inspection of a blocked line or only to quoted installations. Coupons listed on the site at time of writing included money off tankless installation, whole house repiping, backflow certification and drain cleaning, so it is worth mentioning any promotion when you book.
On reputation, the Google Business Profile carried a 4.9 average from 756 reviews when read on 4 September 2026. A score that high across that many reviews suggests consistency across a fair number of technicians, not just one popular installer. Read a handful of the most recent ones anyway, and look for what people say about the second visit, since the difference between a good plumbing contractor and an average one usually shows up when something needs to be revisited.
The scheduling picture is the main thing to weigh. Published hours are 8 AM to 4:30 PM Monday through Friday, with Saturday and Sunday shown as closed. Plenty of plumbing companies run after-hours dispatch that does not appear in their listed hours, so a burst line on a Sunday morning is still worth a call, but nothing in the published information confirms overnight or weekend availability. If guaranteed round-the-clock coverage is your priority, confirm that before you rely on it.
Who does Plumbing Techs of Michigan suit? Homeowners in Oak Park and the inner-ring suburbs who want a licensed, mid-sized local firm for planned work, whether that is swapping a failing 50 gallon tank, putting a camera down a repeatedly backing-up main, or repiping a house that still has galvanised branches feeding the upstairs bath. It suits landlords and small commercial properties needing backflow compliance handled. It is a weaker fit for anyone who needs a plumber at midnight without checking first, or who wants the very lowest hourly rate on a small repair.

Plumbing Techs of Michigan FAQs
Where is Plumbing Techs of Michigan based?
The Oak Park office is at 12700 Capital St, Oak Park, MI 48237, just north of Detroit. The company's website also lists a second office in Wixom, which suggests coverage across a good stretch of Southeast Michigan rather than one small radius.
Do they work weekends or after hours?
The published hours show 8 AM to 4:30 PM Monday through Friday and closed on Saturday and Sunday. Some plumbing firms run emergency dispatch outside their listed hours without advertising it, so a call is still worth making for a burst pipe, but weekend availability is not confirmed in anything published.
Are they licensed?
Two licence numbers appear on the company's own site, 8108197 presented as a master plumber licence and 8001200 as a plumbing contractor licence. Michigan requires licensed work and permits for water heater swaps, gas line alterations and sewer repairs, so ask which number applies to your job and whether the permit and inspection are included in the quoted price.
What do reviewers say?
The Google Business Profile showed a 4.9 average from 756 reviews when checked on 4 September 2026. That combination of a high score and a large review count usually points to consistent work across a whole crew rather than one standout technician, though reading the most recent reviews is always sensible.
Do they handle backflow testing for city compliance?
Yes, backflow testing and repair is on the published service list. Many Michigan municipalities require a certified test on a set schedule with the results filed, so when booking, confirm that the company submits the report to your water department rather than just handing you a copy.
Is financing available for larger jobs?
The company advertises flexible financing on its website, along with free estimates and a two year labour warranty. Those are its own claims, so ask for the terms, the lender and the total cost over the term before committing to a repipe or sewer replacement.
Is Plumbing Techs of Michigan licensed and insured?
We checked 0 of 2 credentials against the issuing authority. Verified items carry the date we checked; reported items are what the business told us and we could not independently confirm.
What areas does Plumbing Techs of Michigan serve?
