I hired Mark to remove my leaking water heater and install a tankless water heater. Two hours later, the kitchen plumbing was found to be gushing, so I ran downstairs to find the ceiling of my sewing/craft/costume/evening gown/guest room was collapsing with gallons of water pouring out onto a large room of precious objects, ruining walls and brand new carpet. So began a horrible year of having both my kitchen and guest/sewing room being reconstructed. Meanwhile, racks of clothing and shelves of patterns, material, bed, pictures on the wall, and racks of thread were soaked. He blamed a faulty washer, but never showed it to me. I had to cancel my brother and his family visiting for Thanksgiving - after I had bought hundreds of dollars of food - my brother who I had not seen in a long time. A couple of months into restoration, the kitchen plumbing started to leak again, the day before I was to leave for a 2 week vacation. The pipes now make a bloop sound every half hour, or so. He claimed not to hear it, but his employees heard it. He's a slimy liar. When he called a few years later wanting to check and service the system, I put him off because I can't trust him. I live in constant fear that the whole thing is going to explode again. If I hadn't been there and wanted to show the contraption under the kitchen sink, it would've ruined the entire condo instead of a third of it - therefore, going away is fraught with fear of what might be happening in my home. He did not show sympathy, just slimy excuses, leaving me with a years-long horror show. read more

We live in a 36 year old mobile home. Advanced plumbing first came out to fix a major hot water heater leak that we had. It was the middle of winter! They did a great job of helping us get everything repaired. They returned in the summer to repair a leak under the kitchen sink. And at 1am this morning (Dec 6) I called because of the sound of running water under the kitchen sink. They help me get the water shut off and came out in the morning to fix the outside faucet that had broken from ice falling on it. Everyone has been very helpful, professional and reasonably priced. I highly recommend them. read more

I had a traumatic experience with Mark Mikula from Advanced Plumbing after he was sent to my home by my neighborhood association's residential manager to address issues with odd noises coming from my pipes, toilet, and walls. Despite trying initial suggestions from the manager, the sounds worsened, and a certified plumber was called in. Mark arrived with an assistant, assessed the situation, and performed a repair on my toilet. Afterward, he informed me of the total charge for his services, expecting immediate payment in cash or by card. I calmly explained that my unit is owned by a family trust responsible for maintenance payments, and all previous services (heating, cooling, plumbing, pest control) had followed a standard procedure where I received an invoice post-service, which I then forwarded to the responsible party for payment. I clarified that I had not agreed to any specific payment policies with Mark beforehand and requested an invoice so I could expedite payment. I also attempted to contact the residential manager and the trust manager for assistance, but neither answered their phone. I did not challenge the fee or refuse payment, and when Mark created an invoice on his phone, I quickly forwarded it to the designated payor. However, things escalated when Mark, seemingly expecting immediate payment, began raising his voice and threatening to get "loud with me." When I stood my ground, he became more aggressive, stomping around, entering my bedroom without consent, and removing the part he'd just replaced. This behavior triggered me, and I demanded he leave. Mark refused, saying he would not leave without payment or the parts. I had to scream for help and pretend to call the police to get him to leave. As he exited, he yelled insults, including calling me "trailer trash." He and his assistant continued to heckle me as they left. Mark's behavior was disrespectful, invasive, and unprofessional. He escalated the situation instead of cooperating, and then later claimed that I was the aggressor in a video he allegedly recorded of me. If he genuinely felt scammed, there were proper legal channels to address that, but instead, he chose to make threats and disrupt my home. Mark is still demanding payment for work that he reversed by removing the part he installed. He initially refused to accept payment at a later date but is now requesting the bill be paid. Given his unprofessional conduct and the fact that the work was undone, I will not be paying him. In conclusion, I strongly advise against hiring Advanced Plumbing. Mark's behavior was appalling, and any confusion or disagreement will likely lead to disrespect and insults. His many negative reviews speak for themselves, and I will not be dealing with this company again. read more

2 Plumbers were at my house for 2 hours and did not accomplish anything. I was told that I have the wrong parts(which is why you call a plumber!). Charged $225 for literally nothing and when I tried to reason with their "manager" I was given the worst customer service runaround possible. Be advised do not hire. read more

This message is in regard to my condominium in Spring Lake Michigan. I had a plumbing accident on October 21st, 2015. Plumbers from this company were contracted by my condo association to replace defective water lines leading into our building. My unit was temporarily connected to the water supply of the unit in the floor above my in the summer of 2015. This was done to provide water to my unit temporarily until water lines were repaired in October. In the process of reconnecting me directly to the city water on October 21st, after the new water lines were installed, the plumbers flooded my unit. The City of Spring Lake was told to shut the water off to my unit but somehow communication broke down between plumber and City and the water was not shut off. The plumbers, in the process of reconnecting me, uncapped a pipe that had running water with no shut off. The plumbers did not check to verify the water was off. I got about 8 to 10 minutes of full pressure water flooding my second floor unit destroying the flooring and some cabinets and the also the unit below mine. The plumbing company and their insurer refuse to take responsibility for their incompetence. read more
