I started using Universal a few years ago, But luckily…read morehaven't needed them in awhile! The staff comes out quickly and will warn you about emergency charges vs regular. I appreciate the knowledge the workers bring, they usually understand some of the older setups I have in my house and what they are the way they are. The staff is respectful, always covering shoes and explaining everything really well. Prices may be slightly higher than other places but having an expert install things correctly the first time is worth it. This round I had them replace a basement toilet, fix a not working faucet and diagnose water pressure issues.

Oh man, thank God for these guys. My friend's sewer was backing up in her basement, and she thought…read moreit was because her youngest had flushed butt wipes. Chris came out next day and snaked the drain all the way out to the road, and it ran clear. The cost for the Visit and the clean out was very reasonable! Chris suggested that if it happened again, she should have them come out and look with the camera. He thought maybe it was an old sewer cap that had fallen down there and was blocking the line. Sure enough, a couple weeks later, the sewer backed up again. So today (next day service), Arthur came out and sent a camera down.... they were right! it was an old sewer cap blocking the line! There's no real way to get it out easily, But Arthur managed, using a magnet. Immediately the sewer drained! so hopefully that is the end of that problem. the cost for today's visit was again incredibly reasonable. Good guys. Fast work. Well trained and knowledgeable! Very fair price! Highly recommend!

Then, I asked them why the water pressure in the shower was so low. Anthony suggested a shower head replacement. I asked him to recommend a good one. He went to Lowe's and came back with the one he recommended and replaced my old shower head. Now, the water pressure in that shower is amazingly strong. All done in just under two hours. Price was reasonable. And, they cleaned up as well as I would have done myself! Cheryl M (Warren, MI)

Mike answered after hours which I thought was cool, he was really nice however his workmanship is…read morenot worth what I paid, $209 for an hour of his time. My complaints include ; 1. Instead of using elbows like the previous set up he just used straight copper so the pipes don't sit up against the wall and they are sticking out on an angle (I hope that's no issue in the future ) 2. he did not clean up after himself- he left the soldered silver pieces all over the sink. 3. He did not secure the faucet to the utility sink underneath with the screws so it was moving back and forth, 4. He unscrewed my fire alarm because the heat from soldering made it go off and he never put it back on!! 5. The left side is leaking where the faucet screws into the copper pipe. 6. He asked a "favor" that I give him 5 stars to get business with a story of how Google took down 150 reviews and he was sick last year. Now, the reason I chose him over other people is because of his reviews of " doing quality work, picking up after himself, competitive pricing " and now I feel like I got duped because I did not experience any of that , I feel like he may be a phony. Mike was nice but when I'm paying for a service I shouldn't have to pick up after you. Granted I understand maybe he wasn't small enough/ older to get under the utility sink and screw the faucet in place but he could have told me. There is no excuse for not screwing the fire alarm back in! What if I were elderly and was unable to clean up the metal pieces everywhere, screw in my faucet or screw my fire alarm back in. Of course I did not know any of this was an issue until I went to actually use the faucet - it moved forward and backward, the metal was all over and I look up and the fire alarm unplugged. This was not worth calling him back for as I could fix it and I'm not going to have him fix the leaking pipe either as I do not trust any longer.
