Complete Plumbing Services for Sterling Heights Homes and Businesses
Drain Cleaning & Unclogging
Slow drains don’t fix themselves. That kitchen sink that takes forever to empty? The shower that leaves you standing in ankle-deep water? These are signs of clogs that’ll only get worse.
We use professional drain snakes and hydro jetting equipment to clear even the toughest blockages. Hair clogs in your bathtub drain, grease buildup in your kitchen pipes, or tree root intrusion in your sewer line—we handle it all. Our video camera inspection equipment lets us see exactly what’s causing the problem so we can fix it right the first time.
Emergency Plumbing Services
Plumbing emergencies don’t care if it’s 2 AM or Christmas morning. We get it. That’s why we offer 24/7 emergency service to Sterling Heights and surrounding areas.
Burst pipes? We’ll be there fast to stop the water and prevent damage to your floors, walls, and belongings. Backed-up sewer causing a mess in your basement? We’ll handle the cleanup and fix the root cause. Our technicians carry the tools and parts needed for most repairs, so we can often solve your problem in one visit.
Michigan winters are tough on plumbing. When temperatures drop below freezing, pipes in crawl spaces, attics, and exterior walls are at risk. If you notice reduced water pressure, strange sounds, or no water flow, call us immediately. We can thaw frozen pipes safely and help you prevent future freeze-ups with proper insulation and pipe protection.
Sewer Line Repair & Replacement
Sewer line problems are messy and disruptive. You might notice slow drains throughout your home, gurgling sounds from toilets, sewage odors in your yard, or wet spots near your foundation.
We start with a sewer camera inspection to pinpoint the issue. Sometimes a good hydro jetting clears the blockage. Other times, you might need repairs or replacement. When replacement is necessary, we offer trenchless sewer repair options that minimize damage to your lawn and landscaping—no need to dig up your entire yard.
Common sewer problems we fix include tree root intrusion, collapsed pipes, pipe corrosion, and bellies (sagging sections that trap water and debris).
Water Heater Installation & Repair
No hot water? That’s more than annoying—it affects your whole routine. Whether your water heater is leaking, making strange noises, or just not heating water properly, we can diagnose and fix the problem.
We work with both traditional tank water heaters and tankless systems. If your unit is more than 10-12 years old, replacement might make more sense than repair. We’ll give you honest advice about what’s best for your situation and budget.
Leak Detection & Repair
Hidden leaks are sneaky. By the time you notice water stains on your ceiling or a spike in your water bill, damage might already be done. We use specialized leak detection equipment to find problems before they turn into disasters.
From dripping faucets to pipe leaks behind walls, we track down the source and fix it properly. Don’t ignore small leaks—they waste water, increase your bills, and can lead to mold growth and structural damage.
Pipe Repair & Repiping
Older Sterling Heights homes often have outdated plumbing that’s prone to leaks and corrosion. If you’re constantly dealing with rusty water, low pressure, or recurring leaks, repiping might be your best option.
We work with copper piping, PEX tubing, and PVC pipes depending on your needs and local code requirements. Our technicians will assess your current system and recommend the most cost-effective solution.

Common Plumbing Problems We Solve
Clogged Drains
Hair, soap scum, food waste, and grease all combine to create stubborn clogs. We clear them quickly using the right tools for the job—whether that’s a drain snake for minor clogs or hydro jetting for severe blockages.
Low Water Pressure
Dealing with weak water flow? The problem could be mineral buildup in pipes, a failing pressure regulator, or leaks somewhere in your system. We’ll diagnose the issue and restore proper pressure.
Running Toilets
That constant running sound isn’t just annoying—it’s wasting hundreds of gallons of water and driving up your bill. Usually, it’s a simple fix involving the flapper valve, fill valve, or flush handle.
Water Heater Problems
No hot water, strange noises, rusty water, or leaks around the tank? These are signs your water heater needs attention. We can often repair the issue, but sometimes replacement makes more sense depending on the age and condition of your unit.
Basement Flooding
Sterling Heights basements are vulnerable to flooding from heavy rain, sump pump failures, and sewer backups. We provide emergency water removal and identify the source of flooding to prevent future problems. This might involve sump pump repair, sewer line clearing, or addressing drainage issues.
Frozen Pipes
Michigan winters put serious stress on your plumbing. Pipes in unheated areas are most at risk. We can safely thaw frozen pipes and help you winterize vulnerable areas to prevent freezing next year.

Tips for Preventing Plumbing Problems
Here are some simple things you can do to avoid common plumbing headaches:
- Don’t pour grease down your kitchen drain—it solidifies in pipes and causes clogs
- Use drain screens to catch hair and debris before they enter your pipes
- Have your main sewer line inspected every few years, especially in older homes
- Know where your main water shutoff valve is located (usually in the basement near the foundation)
- Insulate pipes in unheated areas before winter
- Schedule annual water heater maintenance to extend its lifespan
- Don’t ignore slow drains—they’re warning signs of developing clogs
- Test your sump pump before spring rains arrive
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you respond to a plumbing emergency in Sterling Heights?
We offer 24/7 emergency service and aim to arrive within an hour for urgent situations. Response time depends on your location and current call volume, but we prioritize emergencies like burst pipes, sewer backups, and major leaks that are causing active damage to your property.
Do you provide free estimates?
Yes, we provide free estimates for most plumbing work. For diagnostic work (like finding a hidden leak), there may be a service call fee that’s applied toward the repair if you choose to move forward. We’ll always be upfront about any costs before we start.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash, checks, and all major credit cards. For larger projects, we can discuss payment arrangements.
How do I know if I need to repair or replace my water heater?
It depends on the issue and the age of your unit. Water heaters typically last 8-12 years. If yours is approaching that age and having problems, replacement usually makes more sense than expensive repairs. If it’s newer and the issue is something like a faulty heating element or thermostat, repair is often the better choice. We’ll assess your specific situation and give you honest recommendations.
Can you fix plumbing problems in older Sterling Heights homes?
Absolutely. Many Sterling Heights homes were built decades ago and have unique plumbing challenges—old cast iron pipes, outdated fixtures, and systems that don’t meet current codes. We’re experienced with updating older plumbing while respecting the character of your home.
What should I do if I have a burst pipe?
First, shut off your main water valve immediately—it’s usually near your water meter in the basement or utility room. Turn off your water heater to prevent damage if it’s a hot water line. Mop up standing water if it’s safe to do so. Then call us right away at . The faster you act, the less damage your home will suffer.
Do you work with insurance companies for water damage claims?
Yes. While we’re plumbers (not restoration specialists), we can provide documentation of the plumbing issue that caused the damage. We’ll work with your insurance adjuster and can recommend trusted water damage restoration companies if needed.

Our expert plumbers use advanced tools to quickly and effectively remove blockages in sinks, tubs, and toilets. With routine drain cleaning, you can avoid backups and ensure your system flows smoothly year-round.
Jetting
When standard cleaning isn’t enough, high-pressure jetting gets the job done. We use state-of-the-art equipment to blast away grease, sludge, roots, and debris from inside your pipes. This powerful method not only clears current blockages but also helps prevent future clogs, making it an ideal solution for long-term plumbing health.

Frequently Asked Questions About Drain Cleaning in Clinton Township
Q1. How much does professional drain cleaning cost in Clinton Township?
The honest answer is that it depends on the specific problem. A simple bathroom sink clog might cost $150-250. A main sewer line requiring hydro jetting could be $400-800. Extensive root removal and repairs can run higher. We provide exact pricing after inspecting your situation. The good news is that professional drain cleaning usually costs far less than the damage from ignored problems. And it’s definitely cheaper than emergency repairs at midnight.
Q2. How long does drain cleaning take?
Most residential drain cleaning jobs take 1-3 hours from start to finish. This includes inspection, cleaning, and testing to make sure everything’s working properly. Simple clogs might take less time. Complex main line issues with extensive root intrusion could take longer. Commercial jobs vary based on the size of the system. We’ll give you a time estimate when we schedule your appointment and keep you updated if anything changes.
Q3. Will drain cleaning damage my pipes?
Not when done properly by licensed professionals. This is actually where DIY methods cause problems. Store-bought chemical drain cleaners can corrode pipes, especially older metal pipes. Improper use of mechanical snakes can scratch or even puncture pipes. Our technicians are trained to use the right tools and techniques for your specific pipe material and age. We use video inspection first to see exactly what we’re working with. Professional hydro jetting and snaking, done correctly, clean your pipes without damaging them.
Q4. How often should I have my drains professionally cleaned?
For most Clinton Township homes, we recommend professional drain cleaning every 18-24 months as preventative maintenance. Homes with older plumbing or lots of mature trees nearby might benefit from annual service. If you’ve had tree root problems before, annual cleaning prevents roots from establishing again. Commercial properties need more frequent service, often quarterly or monthly depending on usage. Restaurants with heavy grease loads need regular attention. The investment in regular maintenance is much smaller than emergency repairs.
Q5. Can you fix my drains without digging up my yard?
Often, yes. Most drain problems can be solved with cleaning and repair methods that don’t require excavation. Hydro jetting, mechanical snaking, and even pipe lining can address many issues from inside your existing pipes. However, some situations do require digging. Completely collapsed pipes, severe breaks, or pipes that need full replacement might require excavation. Our video inspection shows us exactly what’s needed. If digging is necessary, we’ll explain why and give you options. We always prefer less invasive methods when they’ll work.
Q6. Do you offer any guarantees on your drain cleaning services?
Absolutely. We stand behind our work with a satisfaction guarantee. If the same drain clogs again within our warranty period, we’ll come back and address it at no additional charge. The specific warranty terms depend on the service provided. Simple drain cleaning typically comes with a 30-day guarantee. More extensive services like hydro jetting may have longer warranty periods. We’ll explain the warranty coverage for your specific service when we provide the estimate. Our goal is your complete satisfaction and properly functioning drains.
Q7. What should I do if my drains back up after hours?
Call us immediately at our 24/7 emergency line. While you’re waiting for us to arrive, stop using all water in your home. Don’t flush toilets, run sinks, or use appliances that drain water. If sewage is backing up, keep people and pets away from the affected area. If possible, turn off water to the affected fixtures. Don’t try to use chemical drain cleaners on a severe backup; they won’t work and can create dangerous situations when our technicians arrive. If sewage is backing up into living areas, you may want to move valuable items to higher ground. We’ll get there as quickly as possible to assess and fix the problem.
