Best Plumbers Near Troy, MI (2026)
Seven plumbers graded on review quality and volume — then every one checked against the Michigan license register. One company on the usual “best of” lists isn't on it.
Triton Plumbing is the highest-graded plumber serving Troy, MI, at A+. DNA Honest Plumbing also grades A+ and is the better call for a 2 AM emergency. Emergency Drain and Plumbing grades A and is the strongest name actually licensed at a Troy address.
Every company below was checked against the Michigan license register. One highly-rated company on the usual “best of Troy” lists has no Michigan plumbing contractor license on file at all — it is named further down, and it is not graded here. 25 plumbing contractors hold an active license at a Troy address, out of 48 records on the register.
How this page is put together
- Who ranks them
- Grade A Plumber. The letter grades are our editorial judgement, not a computed average.
- What the grades weigh
- Review quality and volume together — a 5.0 from 20 reviews is not treated as a 4.9 from 380.
- Where the review numbers come from
- Public review platforms. They are not collected by this site and are not independently verified here. Treat them as a signal, not a fact.
- What IS verified here
- The Michigan license. Every number is checked against the state register and printed so you can confirm it yourself.
- Addresses
- Shown only where the company publishes one on its own website. Never copied from a directory.
- Based in Troy vs serves Troy
- Stated separately for every entry. Several of these companies are licensed at addresses outside Troy and the page says so rather than implying a local office.
- Can placement be bought
- No. Nothing on this site is for sale, no company has been offered a position, and none has paid for one.
- How current
- License data pulled July 17, 2026; grades and addresses reviewed September 2026.
The graded list
Grades convert to stars on a 5-point scale: A+ = 5.0, A = 4.7, A- = 4.3, B+ = 4.0, B = 3.7, C+ = 3.0, C = 2.7, C- = 2.3.
Grades are this site's editorial opinion. Ratings are aggregated from public review platforms, were not collected by this site, and have not been independently verified here — treat them as a signal, not a fact. License numbers come from the state and can be checked in a minute.

High review volume with a perfect average, and the written feedback is consistent about professionalism, honesty and cleaning up afterwards.

#2 in Troy · Our rating 5.0/5
DNA Honest Plumbing
4.9 from 373 reviews
Strong reputation across emergency, sewer, drain and water-heater work. The BBB currently shows an A+ rating, though the company is not BBB accredited — those are two different things.

24220 Ryan Rd, Warren, MI 48091 — the address this company publishes on its own website.

Precision Plumbing
4.7 from 107 reviews · 4.7 from 17 reviews
Long-established company with steady ratings across more than one independent source.
Michigan license 8001059 — Kevin N Raisch, Troy, MI 48462. Renews April 30, 2028.
360 E Maple Rd, Troy, MI 48083 — the address this company publishes on its own website.
The state record lists the city as Troy but the ZIP as 48462, which is not a Troy ZIP. Worth asking about.
- B+
#5 in Troy · Our rating 4.0/5
Lawrence Plumbing / Lawrence Plumbing and Backflow
4.6 from 175 reviews
Good review volume and a solid reputation, but the rating trails the companies above it.
Michigan license 8002153 — Lawrence D Bell, Troy, MI 48085. Renews April 30, 2028.
6120 Evanswood Rd, Troy, MI 48085 — from public business listings, not the company’s own site.
These are two separate businesses. License 8002153 is LAWRENCE PLUMBING, held by Lawrence D Bell in Troy. License 8004815 is LAWRENCE PLUMBING AND BACKFLOW INC, held by Shannon E Bell in Huntington Woods. Confirm which one you are calling.

#6 in Troy · Our rating 4.0/5
Birmingham Plumbing, Heating & Cooling Company
4.7 from 47 reviews
Good reputation, but on a much smaller review sample than the leaders, so the signal is weaker.
Michigan license 8003635 — Frank R Winters, Birmingham, MI 48009. Renews April 30, 2028.
495 Oliver St, Troy, MI 48084 — from public business listings, not the company’s own site.
Licensed in Birmingham, not Troy.

#7 in Troy · Our rating 3.7/5
Hoover Electric Plumbing Heating Cooling
Graded down for a rating conflict, not for bad work. Two public sources disagree sharply about this company — one strong on a large sample, one poor. Neither is verified here, and this page will not pick the flattering one and call it settled.
Michigan license 8004330 — Marcus E Piwonski, Troy, MI 48083. Renews April 30, 2028.
1871 Woodslee Dr, Troy, MI 48083 — from public business listings, not the company’s own site.
No rating is printed here because the two that exist contradict each other and this site has verified neither. Check the current reviews yourself before hiring. The state license, by contrast, is confirmed — filed as HOOVER ELECTRIC INC.
Which Troy plumber has no license on file?
No license found — not graded
Five Guys Plumbing Troy
Rated 4.9 from 314 reviews and ranked highly on other “best plumbers in Troy” lists.
No Michigan plumbing contractor license found under this name in any of the seven state license files. That is not proof they are unlicensed — the export is from 17 July 2026 and a license issued since, or held under a different legal name, would not appear. But it cannot be graded on a site whose entire premise is a printed, checkable license number.
What to do with that: ask them directly for their Michigan plumbing contractor license number and check it on the state lookup. If they give you one, they are licensed and this page is simply out of date. If they will not, that is your answer.
How were these grades decided?
- Rating and volume together: A 5.0 from 8 reviews is weaker evidence than a 4.9 from 373. Volume and consistency were weighed against the raw score, not behind it.
- More than one source: Where two sources disagreed, both are printed. Nothing was quietly dropped for being unflattering.
- License checked separately: Grades come from reputation; the license check is independent and can move a company off the list entirely, as it did with one here.
- Nobody paid: No company on this page paid to be here, to rank higher, or to have a competitor removed. Nobody was offered that.
Plumbing in Troy: permits and your service line
Troy is in Oakland County. Two practical things touch most plumbing jobs here: the city permit, and whether your water service line is on the city's record.
A city permit and inspection
Plumbing work in Troy is permitted and inspected by the City of Troy Building Department (500 W. Big Beaver Rd, 248.524.3344). Plumbing, sewer, mechanical and electrical permits can be applied for online through BS&A Online, and the city inspects the finished work. A licensed contractor can pull the permit in their own name — worth asking for before the job starts.
Your water service line
Troy's drinking water comes from the Great Lakes Water Authority. Under the federal and state Lead and Copper Rule, the city keeps a public service-line materials inventory you can search by address, so you can see whether the pipe feeding your house is copper, galvanized or lead before a plumber opens the ground. If it is lead or galvanized, raise full-line replacement with your plumber and the city.

What this page cannot tell you
- Whether the star ratings are accurate. They are aggregated from public review platforms and this site has not audited them.
- Whether any company is insured. A license is not insurance. Ask for the certificate from the insurer.
- What anyone charges. No pricing is published by the state and none is invented here.
- Whether a license has changed since 17 July 2026, the date of the state export used.
How do I check a Troy plumber's license myself?
Open the State of Michigan license lookup, search the license number or company name, and confirm the name, the class and the status all match. If a contractor will not give you a license number, that is your answer.
License data from the Michigan LARA public export, pulled July 17, 2026. Grades and reasoning are editorial. Ratings belong to the sources named beside them. Grade A Plumber is not affiliated with the State of Michigan and does not perform plumbing work.
