Is emergency plumbing available across the whole service area?

Yes, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays. Response time varies with call volume and distance, so a realistic window is given rather than a fixed promise. Active leaks and sewage backups are prioritised over scheduled work.

Where Drain Detectives Works

Q: My city is not listed. Do you still serve it?

Very likely. The city list reflects where Drain Detectives has pages and works most, not the edge of the service range, which covers Macomb County, Oakland County, Wayne County, and southern St. Clair County. Send your city and zip code and we will confirm.

Q: Do you charge more to travel further?

Drain Detectives charges a service call fee to come out, diagnose the problem, and quote it, applied to the work if you go ahead. Where a location sits at the far edge of the range, that is explained when you call rather than afterwards. The price is approved before work starts.

We are a family owned, licensed, bonded, and insured plumbing company based at 18260 Malyn Blvd in Fraser, Michigan. From there we cover Macomb County, Oakland County, Wayne County, and southern St. Clair County, for homes and businesses, 24 hours a day. Cities with their own page are listed below. If yours is not among them, we very likely still cover you.

What travels with us

The Same Approach in Every City

Local codes are actually local

Michigan sets permit requirements municipally rather than by county, so Warren, Troy, Sterling Heights, and Fraser each run their own process. We confirm the requirement for your address rather than assuming it matches the last job.
Diagnose before quoting

For anything recurring or building-wide that usually means a camera. Guessing at a buried line is how people end up paying for the same problem twice.
Honest about distance

Some cities are fifteen minutes from our shop and some are the better part of an hour. On an emergency that matters, and we will tell you what we can realistically do rather than accepting the call and leaving you waiting.
One pricing approach everywhere

A service call fee to come out, diagnose, and quote, applied to the work if you go ahead. You approve the price before anything starts. No free estimates, because a free estimate on a buried line is a guess.

Common questions

Service Area FAQ

My city is not listed. Do you still serve it?

Very likely. The list above reflects where we have pages and where we work most, not the edge of our range. We cover Macomb County, Oakland County, Wayne County, and southern St. Clair County. Send your city and zip code or call and we will confirm in a moment.

Do you charge more to travel further?

We charge a service call fee to come out, diagnose the problem, and quote it, and that fee is applied to the work if you go ahead. Where a location is at the far edge of our range we will tell you when you call rather than after. You approve any price before work starts.

Is emergency service available across the whole area?

Yes, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays. Response time varies with call volume and distance, which is why we give a realistic window rather than a fixed promise. Active leaks and sewage backups are prioritised over scheduled work. See emergency plumbing.

Which number should I call?

Use (586) 296-0036 for Macomb County and (248) 645-2448 for Oakland County. Either will reach us, so if you are unsure, pick one. Wayne County and St. Clair County callers can use whichever is closer to hand.

Do you serve businesses everywhere you serve homes?

Yes. Restaurants, retail, offices, medical, industrial, and multi-tenant residential across the same area, including scheduled maintenance programmes on grease lines and shared stacks. See commercial plumbing and commercial water jetting.

Are you licensed to work throughout Michigan?

Yes, licensed, bonded, and insured. Michigan plumbing licenses are issued at state level through LARA's Bureau of Construction Codes, and you can verify any plumber's status yourself with the state's free license lookup. Permits, on the other hand, are handled by each individual municipality.
