Great. Mark was very professional. He diagnosed and fixed the problem quickly. He also cleaned up when he finished. All in all, a great job.

Mr. Joey took time to take a close look at all the drains. He said some of the old drains are supposed to have lids on them. Those holes, he found, were the source of the bad smell. He also found that there was bad water in one active drain in the laundry room. He poured hot water into the drain several times and the smell was gone. After his treatment, I ran the washer, but the bad smell no longer comes out and no sewer water comes back up to the drain, either. One of the good things about this company is that they will not make you believe you would have to pay a lot of money to fix your problems. They will give you a full explanation and then think what would be best for YOU, not THEM. I believe that this company is honest.
Description of Work: Bad smell was coming from somewhere but I could not know where. It happened every time I ran the laundry machine at the basement. I was afraid that one of the drains could be clogged up and that sewer water would be splashing out of them (again).

Very well. They wouldn't accept the $99 drain cleaning coupon I printed from the Angie's list site that I printed the night before they came. The gentleman said that it had expired. That's why I gave the price category a B rating.

Perfect! The plumber was very nice and respectful. He preformed his work very fast without rushing at all, basically he knew exactly what he was doing. I would hire again for sure!
Description of Work: Water wasn't draining properly in the shower. As a result, during showering the water would build up to about two inches.

Fred identified the problem. Tested to make sure all was cleared. When I suggested doing an additional procedure he explained why it wasn't necessary and I would be wasting my money. He helped me understand how to avoid the problem if the future. Will go with this company every time from now on!

Was not happy at all would never recommend Mark. I have used Angie's list many times and always felt I received a fair deal.
Description of Work: I paid $39. To have a toilet repaired. Technician said he didn't have part on his truck that was needed. Asked if he could help with repairing a handle in my shower stall. Yes was his reply. Before he left he Asked for $69. Because he diagnosed the problem. Then came up with a charge of $425. For repair of a valve stem. Total of. 494. Also had to wait many days for him to return and complete the job. Blue book cost $193. Low and $356. High with material up to 2 valve stems. All of a sudden he came up with a part for the toilet (he didn't have) stated it wasn't working. Now he wanted an additional $350. To repair toilet. Used someone else to repair toilet at a lesser cost. Blue book costs

Michael arrived on time. He knew what he was doing and what had to be done. When he found that the flapper that needed replacing was an old style form which he did not have in his truck, he went to a plumbing supply store, got the correct part and installed it. He was knowledgeable, polite and a real gentleman. He took the time to explain what might be needed in the future and the estimated costs.
Description of Work: Michael arrived on time to inspect the plumbing system and replace a flapper.

Response from Universal Home Services
I am sorry that you are out of our service area. I don't believe that should give us an F. We can only cover so much area with the trucks we have and we don't advertise in Detroit. Therefore I'm not sure why Angie's list even gave you our information.

Very prompt, friendly and professional. Explained to me beforehand that it might turn into a bigger job and what that cost would be. Fortunately, that didn't happen, but it was reassuring to know in advance that the worst case scenario wouldn't bankrupt me. I would hire them again!

Very pleased with the work and the result.
Description of Work: Fred and his apprentice, Chip, arrived on time. They completed the task of hydro-jetting our home sewer pipe to the city main in a very personable and professional manner. All of our concerns and questions were addressed by Fred and we are very pleased with the outcome. They tarped the our home to prevent damage and cleaned up when the job was completed.

I discovered the problem in the morning after the holiday weekend. After calling several other businesses, I spoke with Universal. After describing my problem, they were able to fit me in with an appointment that afternoon. I received a call within the quoted time window informing me that the technician was on the way. Michael and J.D. arrived and, after I explained the layout of our sewer system, they got to work and had the clog cleared within a half hour. Michael explained that we had a house sewer trap (which I was not aware of) which made it a more difficult job to clear. Both were very professional and careful to keep the basement steps and carpet clean. I would definitely call them again for a sewer service issue. The Angie's List coupon was an added benefit of going with this service provider.

They were easy to reach and they were quick to book the appointment. They were on time and responsive. I do think the initial cost was high. I did use a coupon and they lowered the cost a little for me. I would hire again, but make sure to do my homework on pricing in advance and do some comparisons first.

Mike was very professional in the work performed and he took the time to explain the operation of the heater. I was very pleased with his workmanship and knowledge. I also liked the fact that they used a Bradford White heater which is made in Michigan. Mike did not even complain when the tall boy heater I requested wouldn't work and went back to the shop to get me a lowboy that would fit my house better.I would use Universal Plumbing again.
