Tom A. came out early the next day and using a camera found the source of the problem...and more. Not only was the pipe clogged but there was a break at the juncture with the city's line. Tom was marvelous working with the city and was able to assure us quickly that all would be taken care of. Within one day, the excavating in the street was done, new pipe put in, and road repaired. And it turned out to be a bit tricky given the location of the pipe. All at a reasonable price for the amount of work. Tom will take care of your sewer or drain problem for you quickly and you'll be able to rest easy knowing that you are in capable hands. Competence and trustworthiness can't be beat.

I moved into a 1960s-70s home and soon had a basement main drain clog. I chose Allen's Plumbing based on their high ratings. They arrived on time but immediately began criticizing my real estate agent and home inspector, boasting about decades of experience. He spent less than 30 minutes with a snake, claimed it could not go past 50 ft, and pulled out only a small amount of debris and fine roots--about the size of a fist--yet dramatically acted as if my sewer was severely damaged. On-site, he pressured me to call my agent, rudely criticized them over the phone, and claimed I had only two options: dig up the basement or the yard, costing about $5,000. He insisted the pipe was broken and needed replacing, and charged $265 for the day's "work." He then called in another company with a camera (Kowski's Sewer Service), quoting another $250. This second company was equally unprofessional, failed to locate the blockage, and suggested I check with insurance about replacement. They also damaged my drain plug and left a filthy mess. The next day, through my teacher's contact, I hired another plumber--professional, clean, and determined. He used a snake to go 100 ft, removed a long arm's-length mass of debris, and found the real culprit: a clump of wet wipes. Problem solved without any pipe replacement. Clearly, my pipe was not broken. Allen's Plumbing exploits customers' lack of technical knowledge to push unnecessary major repairs. This is unprofessional and shameful. Businesses like this will not last long. I will continue to post reviews and file complaints on other platforms to warn others and prevent more people from being deceived and losing their money.

We had to move away from our home in Lansing for work and haven't been able to sell the house, so we currently rent it out. Spag's has helped us with a wide range of repairs and modifications, including: - Carpentry (both structural and finish, including door installation and cabinet repair) - Drywall - Painting - Deck cleaning and sealing - Electrical fixtures - Minor plumbing For bigger jobs beyond their scope, they have referred me to trustworthy contractors for: - Roofing and gutters - Plumbing Most recently, after a rental inspection by the city, they personally called the inspector to clarify what needed to be done, and have helped me avoid making unnecessary and unreasonably expensive modifications. As long as we have a house in Lansing and I can't make the fixes myself, I will call Spag's.
