Service Details — What We Handle Day to Day
Drain Cleaning & Clog Removal
Slow drains and full blockages are among the most common plumbing problems in Detroit's older homes. We clear kitchen sinks, bathroom drains, floor drains, and main sewer lines using professional equipment — not just a bottle of chemical cleaner. Regular drain cleaning prevents backups and extends the life of your pipes, especially in homes with aging cast-iron or galvanized lines.
Pipe Repair & Replacement
Detroit has many homes with original plumbing that's decades old. Leaks, corrosion, and burst pipes are common — especially during Michigan's freeze-thaw cycles. We repair damaged sections and, when needed, replace aging pipes with modern materials that meet current code. We'll always tell you whether a repair will hold or a replacement makes more sense long-term.
Water Heater Installation & Repair
No hot water? We install and replace both standard tank and tankless water heaters for Detroit homes and small businesses. We also troubleshoot pilot light issues, thermostat failures, and sediment buildup that reduces heating efficiency. If your heater is nearing the end of its life, we'll give you an honest assessment and options that fit your budget.
Fixture & Faucet Replacement
Dripping faucets, leaking showerheads, and running toilets waste water and drive up bills. We replace and install faucets, sinks, toilets, shower fixtures, and garbage disposals — whether you're upgrading a bathroom or fixing a persistent leak. We work with fixtures you supply or recommend reliable options from local suppliers.
Emergency Plumbing Service
Plumbing emergencies don't wait for business hours. A burst pipe at midnight or a sewer backup on a weekend needs immediate attention. We offer emergency response across the Detroit area to minimize water damage and get your system back to working order. Save our number — (313) 825-4043 — so you're ready when it happens.
Seasonal Plumbing Tips for Michigan Homeowners
Michigan weather puts unique stress on your plumbing. Here's what to watch for each season to keep things running smoothly and avoid costly emergency calls.
Winter (Dec-Feb)
- »Disconnect and drain outdoor hoses before the first hard freeze to prevent burst pipes.
- »Insulate exposed pipes in unheated areas like basements, crawl spaces, and garages.
- »Keep your thermostat above 55°F even when away to prevent indoor pipes from freezing.
- »If a pipe freezes, shut off water immediately and call a plumber — never use an open flame to thaw it.
Spring (Mar-May)
- »Check faucets and hose bibs for winter damage — small drips can waste hundreds of gallons.
- »Schedule a drain inspection to clear buildup from heavy winter usage.
- »Test your sump pump before spring rains to ensure it runs and discharges properly.
- »Look for water stains on ceilings and walls that may indicate hidden leaks.
Summer (Jun-Aug)
- »Flush your water heater to remove sediment that builds up and reduces efficiency.
- »Run cold water at a trickle during high-use periods to keep drains clear.
- »Check washing machine hoses for bulges or cracks and replace if older than five years.
- »Watch for slow drains — summer humidity can accelerate clog-related odors.
Fall (Sep-Nov)
- »Schedule a pre-winter water heater inspection before cold weather demand spikes.
- »Clean out gutters and downspout extensions to keep water away from your foundation.
- »Replace aging faucet washers and toilet flappers before winter freeze risk.
- »Consider a whole-home drain cleaning to prepare for holiday guest usage.
