Professional Plumbing Services in Royal Oak, MI

Complete Plumbing Solutions for Royal Oak Homes and Businesses

Here’s the thing about plumbing problems: they never happen at a convenient time. That’s why we offer comprehensive services that cover just about anything that can go wrong with your pipes, drains, or fixtures.

Emergency Plumbing Services

A burst pipe doesn’t care that it’s Sunday evening. When you’re dealing with water pouring into your basement or a backed-up sewer line, you need help now. Our emergency plumbing team is available 24/7 because we know that waiting until Monday morning isn’t an option when your home’s flooding.

We’ve handled emergency calls throughout Royal Oak, from older homes near Normandy Oaks Park with aging cast iron pipes to newer properties in the Urbanrest neighborhood. Our trucks carry the equipment needed to handle most emergencies on the first visit, so you’re not left waiting for parts while water damage gets worse.

Drain Cleaning and Clogged Drain Repair

Slow drains are annoying. Completely clogged drains are a disaster. If you’re standing in ankle-deep water every time you shower, or your kitchen sink takes forever to drain, we can fix that.

We use professional drain snakes and hydro jetting equipment to clear out everything from hair clogs and soap scum to grease buildup and tree root intrusion. Unlike store-bought chemical cleaners that barely work and can damage your pipes, our methods actually solve the problem without creating new ones.

Sewer Line Repair and Replacement

Nobody wants to hear they need sewer line work, but ignoring the problem only makes it worse and more expensive. If you’re dealing with multiple slow drains, sewage odors, or soggy spots in your yard, you might have a broken or damaged sewer line.

We offer both traditional and trenchless sewer repair options. Trenchless technology means we can often fix or replace your sewer line without tearing up your landscaping, driveway, or the sidewalk along Woodward Avenue. Methods like pipe bursting and CIPP pipe lining can save you thousands in restoration costs.

Water Heater Services

A cold shower in a Michigan winter is nobody’s idea of fun. Whether you need water heater installation, repair, or replacement, we work with all types of systems including traditional tank models and modern tankless units.

We’ll help you figure out what size and type makes sense for your home, handle all the installation work, and make sure everything meets current code requirements. Plus, we’ll haul away your old water heater so you don’t have to deal with it.

Leak Detection and Repair

Some leaks are obvious. Others hide in walls, under slabs, or in crawl spaces, quietly causing damage and running up your water bill. Our leak detection equipment can locate hidden leaks without unnecessary demolition.

From dripping faucets and leaky toilets to pinhole leaks in copper pipes and slab leaks, we find them and fix them. The sooner you address a leak, the less water damage you’ll deal with later.

Why Royal Oak Residents Trust My Drain Master

You’ve got options when it comes to plumbers. Here’s why people keep calling us back and recommending us to their neighbors.

Licensed, Insured, and Experienced

All our plumbers hold Michigan Master Plumber and Journeyman Plumber licenses. We’re properly insured and bonded, so you’re protected if anything goes wrong. Our technicians are background-checked and drug-tested because we take seriously the fact that we’re coming into your home.

We maintain our State of Michigan Plumbing License, Oakland County contractor licensing, backflow certification, and EPA Lead-Safe certification. This isn’t just paperwork—it means we know the codes, we follow the rules, and we do the work right.

Upfront Pricing and No Hidden Fees

You’ll know what something costs before we start work. We provide clear estimates, explain what needs to be done, and don’t add surprise charges after the fact. If we discover additional problems during the repair, we’ll discuss them with you before proceeding.

Fast Response Times

We know that waiting all day for a plumber is frustrating. That’s why we offer same-day service when possible and stick to our appointment windows. Our emergency service means you can reach us 24/7, and we’ll be there fast when you’re dealing with a plumbing crisis.

Service Throughout Oakland County

While we’re based in Royal Oak, we serve the entire area including Birmingham, Troy, Ferndale, Madison Heights, Hazel Park, Clawson, Berkley, and Huntington Woods. Whether you’re on Crooks Road or Rochester Road, near the Detroit Zoo or by Mark Ridley’s Comedy Castle, we’ve got you covered.

We know the local area well, including the common plumbing issues specific to Royal Oak homes and the building codes we need to follow for any installation or repair work.

Quality Workmanship with Warranties

We stand behind our work with warranties on both parts and labor. If something isn’t right, we’ll make it right. We’ve built our reputation on doing quality work that lasts, not quick fixes that fail in six months.

Support for Seniors and Military Families

We offer discounts for seniors and military members because we appreciate your service and want to help our community afford quality plumbing repairs.

Our Process: What to Expect When You Call

Wondering how things work when you reach out to us? Here’s the straightforward answer.

First, you call or contact us online. We’ll ask about the problem you’re experiencing and schedule a time that works for you. For emergencies, we move as fast as possible.

When our plumber arrives, they’ll assess the situation, explain what’s wrong in terms you can actually understand, and provide an upfront estimate. We don’t use technical jargon to confuse you or pressure you into unnecessary work.

Once you approve the work, we get started. Our trucks are stocked with common parts and professional equipment, so we can often complete repairs in one visit. We’ll clean up when we’re done and test everything to make sure it’s working properly.

Before we leave, we’ll explain what we did, answer any questions, and provide maintenance tips to help prevent future problems. You’ll get documentation of the work for your records, including warranty information.

Understanding Royal Oak’s Unique Plumbing Challenges

Royal Oak has a mix of housing stock, from charming older homes built in the 1920s-1950s to newer construction. Each era comes with its own common plumbing issues.

Older homes might have cast iron sewer lines that are corroding or root-damaged, galvanized steel pipes that restrict water flow, or outdated fixtures that waste water. These homes were built before modern plumbing codes, so upgrades might be needed when doing repairs.

The area’s clay soil and mature trees (which make Royal Oak beautiful) can also mean tree root intrusion into sewer lines. Roots seek out water, and they’ll grow into any crack or joint in your pipes. Regular maintenance and root removal can prevent major backups.

Frozen pipes can also be an issue during harsh Michigan winters, especially for pipes in unheated crawl spaces, exterior walls, or older homes with poor insulation. We can help with both emergency frozen pipe repairs and preventative solutions like pipe insulation and heat tape.

Plumbing Maintenance: Preventing Problems Before They Start

Honestly, most people don’t think about plumbing until something goes wrong. But a little preventative maintenance can save you from expensive emergency repairs.

Consider annual drain cleaning for your main sewer line, especially if you have older pipes or large trees in your yard. Video pipe inspections can spot problems like tree roots or pipe corrosion before they cause a complete backup.

Have your water heater flushed periodically to remove sediment buildup that reduces efficiency and shortens its lifespan. Check your sump pump before spring to make sure it’s working.

Small issues like a running toilet or dripping faucet might seem minor, but they waste water and money. Plus, that constant dripping can lead to bigger problems like water damage or mold growth.

We offer maintenance services that catch these issues early. It’s cheaper to fix a small problem now than deal with a major failure later.

Commercial Plumbing Services

We don’t just work on homes. Businesses throughout Royal Oak rely on us for commercial plumbing services including restaurants on Main Street, medical offices near Beaumont Hospital, retail shops, and office buildings along the Woodward Avenue corridor.

Commercial plumbing has different demands than residential work. We understand the importance of minimizing downtime for your business and can often schedule work during off-hours. Our services include grease trap cleaning, backflow prevention testing, commercial drain cleaning, fixture installation, and emergency repairs.
