I have not used Advanced Plumbing before but I can already tell you when I need a plumber, I'll be calling them. My senior neighbor told me this evening that she called you guys this morning for what she thought was a sump pump alarm that had been driving her crazy for hours. One of your service men, Eric I believe she said, showed up and spent a 1/2 looking for the source of the alarm. He found it. It was her Carbon Monoxide detector that was malfunctioning. He advised her that it was important that she replace it, in which, she did. The best part of this story is that they did not charge her a dime to come out. I was so grateful to hear this that I think it is noteworthy to bring attention to this act of kindness from this company and the kind of people you employ. It says a lot about you! Thank you!!!! From the neighbor of the grateful lady you helped this morning!

I have used Advanced for all of my plumbing needs, emergency or routine maintenance. They are able to get me on the schedule very quickly with competitive pricing. Eric is fantastic. He does excellent work, doesn’t do work that isn’t needed and talks you through everything. The other techs I’ve had are just as great. I refer everyone who needs work to them. Don’t hesitate to call them. Hands down, the best around.

Called to get a leak fixed in my upstairs bathroom. (Had an existing access hole in the ceiling) He came out to diagnose the problem, adjusted the water spout and silicone the spout, and put an access in the wall for another angle to see the problem. Said that should fix it. Still leaking called the office and she told me they will come out and diagnose the problem, and I would be charged again. They already came out and missed diagnosed the problem. Now they want to come out again and charge me again for another diagnosis that they didn't solve. I want to support their business but to keep charging to diagnose a problem that isn't correctly diagnose is just wrong. I'm glad to pay for a leak that is fixed. But to keep playing elimination until you find the leak and charging me is not the way to solve this. She didn't have any solutions to give me other than keep charging me.

We appreciate any and all feedback. We did look back at our notes regarding this job. The initial visit on October 30, 2024 was to assess and repair a leak on a 3" pvc sewer line between the first and second floor in the ceiling. We have noted down that there was already a hole cut and it is suspected that approximately 2' needed to be cut out and repaired. That leak was repaired on site by cutting out the bad section of 3” pvc at a coupling that wasn’t glued. On December 9, 2024 we were called back out for a potential follow-up. Our notes state that there was still a leak in the ceiling. Upon arrival, it was described to us that the leak was in a separate area, near the tub, resulting in a new service call, not a follow-up. There was already a hole cut in the drywall ceiling below. Investigative work began where we ran water at the tub/shower fixture. We did not see anything leaking. We did, however, notice that the spout wasn’t siliconed against the shower wall. We adjusted and siliconed the tub spout to the wall and explained that water could sometimes run down the wall behind the spout resulting in a leak. We also cut access on the backside of the tub/shower and found no leaks. We provided and installed an access panel and advised to keep an eye on the area and to call if anything further leaks. Today, March 18, 2025 (99 days after the service call) we received a call stating there was still a leak in the ceiling area. We explained that we would treat this as a new service call to further investigate and diagnose the unknown leak. We understand leaks can be frustrating because they can be hard to locate, especially when we cannot get it to leak while on site. We are more than willing and happy to come out to further diagnose the ongoing leak as a service. We do appreciate your business and feedback and look forward to working with you again in the future.

Had them out to do regular service my hot water on demand system for descaling. They were able to get me in within a day of calling them. The tech Eric explained a lot about the system. He identified a potential issue with the system and fixed it on the spot. The tech was very respectful and performed great work. The scheduler on the phone was friendly and kind. I would recommend them to friends and family for any future plumbing work.

Jacob and Tanner came to our location at prime storage and unplugged a toilet. They even went as far as to clean out the toilet. That was disgusting. We greatly appreciate their time, and their professionalism would, highly recommend them always.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need backflow testing?
Backflow testing is a mandatory requirement enforced by local municipalities to protect the public water supply. It ensures that contaminated water from irrigation systems, commercial boilers, or residential cross-connections does not back-siphon into the clean, potable water lines. To stay compliant and keep your community safe, you must have your device tested annually by a certified expert like Advanced Plumbing of Monroe.
Do plumbers submit backflow test reports to the city?
Yes, hiring a fully certified plumbing company streamlines the entire compliance process. After successfully testing your device, the licensed technicians at Advanced Plumbing of Monroe handle all the required paperwork and promptly submit the official test report directly to your water provider on your behalf.
What happens if my backflow preventer fails the test?
If a device fails its annual inspection, it means the internal valves are no longer sealing properly, putting the water supply at risk. Fortunately, the skilled plumbers at Advanced Plumbing of Monroe can quickly diagnose the issue on-site and perform the necessary repairs or install a compliant replacement to immediately restore your system’s certification.
What types of backflow preventers do plumbers test?
Certified plumbers are licensed to test and service all major types of backflow prevention assemblies, including RPZ (Reduced Pressure Zone), DCVA (Double Check Valve Assembly), and PVB (Pressure Vacuum Breaker) devices. Advanced Plumbing of Monroe is fully certified in the State of Michigan and proudly services top industry brands like Watts, Zurn Wilkins, Febco, and Apollo.
How much does backflow testing cost?
The cost of a backflow test is usually a flat fee, but it can vary depending on whether the device is for residential or commercial use, and if any immediate repairs are required to pass. Advanced Plumbing of Monroe offers clear, budget-friendly pricing over the phone for standard testing, and detailed, free estimates if your failing device requires a complete replacement.
