Patterson Plumbing Service

May 22nd I called these guys up about a backed up sewage line, they sent someone out the same day…read morewhich was great. Their crew got here after a couple hours and then popped open my cleanout and dumped the sewage into a storage tote I offered up and sure, they spilled some sewage all over my floor but they're just getting started so I said "Meh, we'll let them do their thing." They stick a snake into my cleanout and work it 2ft into the drain and then said "I'm just getting mud so your line is broken out there." Alright, where we go from here? "Well we are down a truck so we can't actually dig it out and fix it today, but we can do it on Tuesday (May 26th) but it'll cost $150 an hour for us to dig it out and then whatever is needed to repair the line. Since they couldn't fix that day I told them I'd talk to the wife about it. My cleanout guy goes downstairs while the other dude talks to my wife about the problem and as I'm standing next to my still leaking cleanout because they didn't put it back on right he says "Hey can I use some of your paper towels?" and I'm like "okay, well at least he's gonna clean up the mess" - I hand the paper towels over to him and he's like "Thanks!" and proceeds to wipe down his sewer snake and then walks off leaving my floor covered in sewage and my tote tub full of sewage water, waste and toilet paper pieces. For this great pleasure, the home office sends me a bill of $275. For reference, you can buy a drain snake for $40 on Home Depot (there abouts) and two seconds of googling if you don't already know will tell you any kind of earth pulling back means the line is compromised and seeping in soil as the waste turns the dirt around the break into slurry. I ended up renting an excavator, dug up the pipe myself, and replaced the pipe myself for $400. I can only IMAGINE what these conartists would have charged to do it.

Labor Day 2024 and our cottage washer backed up and flooded the floor. We called and left message…read moreand 30 min later, Earl called back. Unfortunately, we had called another plumber, unsure of how long a call back would be and scheduled a visit for today. Earl was very polite even though we had to tell him someone else was coming. We waited two hours for the other plumber to call when on way and then realized we should have stuck with Earl! Earl had cleared a clog for our neighbors the previous day. We called back Earl and he was considerate of the other plumber, not wanting to take the job from someone else. We assured him we would cancel the other plumber (someone part of a conglomerate and was fine with a cancellation). which we did and called back Earl. He explained that since we are on a septic, he wanted to help us know whether it was really a clogged line, which he could work on, or a failed septic or drain field which would be something he couldn't fix and we would end up having to pay him to come out and have nothing fixed. Earl took his time to explain to us how to check our septic tank and figure out if the field was working. Sure enough, the problem was a mat of roots. We cleared them out of the inlet pipe from inside the septic and clog was cleared. We offered to pay Earl for his advice and he declined. Needless to say, Mid Michigan plumbing will be our go to from now until the end of time. Highly recommend.

CHP arrived and quoted me for hot and cold hook up, drain into utility sink, dryer vent hook up. Our utility sink drained slow so technician said they would snake and clean the best they could. Father in law arrived to New house. He hooked up dryer and did the vent work. He also had placed drain to the utility sink ( 50% of the work i was quoted for) CHP arrived and placed the hot and cold and supposedly drained or snaked the drain. First load after hookup we had water everywhere. Got a second opinion like I should have to begin with and Mr. Rooter came in and fixed what CHP could not. CHP charged me more than the work they provided ( not making proper adjustments) and discounted me with a slap in the face. Never will I use again for plumbing or heating issues.

Owner, Pat and Derick, on the spot. As well as the crew Greg, Austin, Austin and Zack if I forgot anyone, sorry. These guys are the best workers I have had . BTW: Airworks didn't push a sale!

After calling a few times and finally getting someone to return my call, I was told that I should have kept an eye on the level in my tank.

We had to leave because it was so cold and they couldn't tell us when a truck would be out to fill the tank. When I talked to them in regards to selling my house and the steps I would need to take if the new owners didn't want them for their propane company they simply said to call them with the date and they would get the tank and gas and refund me for the price paid. Well imagine my surprise when I was charged $75.00 for labor and $92.20 restocking fee! They also knew I was moving out of state and would never use their service again. They could have spoken the truth.
