Brian came out and cleaned out my sewer water line - I was previously told I needed a whole new sewer line $6000 from another company. Brian came out and removed all the mud and roots from the line!! I appreciate him taking the time and fixing my line!! Great great great great job!

Marnie, Could you please thank everyone, as we truly appreciate you all. We have been working with Michels for maybe 15 years, and when things go wrong, we do not hesitate to call you all. Customer service is great, prices are honest, and we have always had an all-around excellent experience. Kyle was quick to diagnose the problem, looked at other issues that could have caused the issue or could cause future issues, and recommended a solution. We, of course, took his advice. Thanks again, we appreciate it! -Doug & family

We have been using Michels Plumbing for over 20 years and they have always provided reliable and efficient plumbing work. Just had our sump pump replaced and a custom cover installed today. Looks great! Kyle the technician did an awesome job, very respectful, responsive and efficient. Great job!

Michels is by far the best plumbing service in the Aurora area! Brian did an incredible job with a challenging kitchen disposal installation. He redid piping, and now there's even more room than before in the cabinet under the sink & we now have a disposal! Michels is always right on time & provides updates on exact arrival time. Office staff is extremely helpful providing quotes or estimates via text messages. Prices are excellent! Definitely a 5 star plus company!

Wonderful Company to rely for any plumbing need. Not only was the price reasonable there plumbers were exceptional. We had to remove old cast iron sewer lines and add additional drains for new washroom. Leon, Kyle and Brenan were on-site, attentive, courteous, with excellent workmanship. So happy I used them. Overall a wonderful experience. Would highly recommend.
