Why Clinton Township Properties Need Reliable Plumbers
Clinton Township has a unique mix of housing stock. You’ve got older homes from the 1950s and 60s along Moravian Drive with original cast iron plumbing. Newer subdivisions like Quail Hollow have modern systems but still face issues. Commercial properties on Hall Road and Metro Parkway deal with heavy usage. Every property type needs different plumbing care.
Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles are brutal on plumbing. Pipes expand and contract. Joints loosen. Small cracks become big problems. Those beautiful mature trees near George George Memorial Park and along the Clinton River? Their roots are constantly seeking water, which means they’re working their way into your sewer lines.
Here’s the thing: most plumbing emergencies don’t come out of nowhere. That slow drain you’ve been ignoring? It’s telling you something’s building up. The water heater making weird noises? It’s warning you before it fails completely. We help Clinton Township residents address small problems before they become expensive disasters.
Complete Plumbing Services for Your Home or Business
Emergency Plumbing Available 24/7
Plumbing emergencies don’t wait for business hours. A burst pipe at 3 AM can flood your home in minutes. A backed-up sewer on Sunday morning won’t wait until Monday. We provide true 24/7 emergency service throughout Clinton Township and Macomb County.
When you call our emergency line, you talk to a real person, not an answering service. One of our licensed plumbers will head to your location right away with a fully stocked truck. We’re typically at your door within an hour, often faster.
We handle all plumbing emergencies. Burst pipes flooding your basement. Sewage backing up into your home. Water heaters leaking everywhere. Gas leaks that need immediate attention. No hot water in freezing weather. Complete drain blockages. Whatever the crisis, we’ll stop the damage and fix the problem.
Emergency service costs more than scheduled appointments because we’re dropping everything to help you. But we’re upfront about pricing even in emergencies. You’ll know the cost before we start work.
Drain Cleaning and Sewer Services
Clogged drains are the most common plumbing problem we see in Clinton Township. Most start as minor annoyances and gradually get worse. Your kitchen sink drains slower each week. Your shower leaves you standing in water. Your toilet needs two flushes.
We use professional equipment that actually solves drain problems instead of just temporarily relieving symptoms. Our arsenal includes high-powered drain snakes that reach 100+ feet into your plumbing, hydro jetting equipment that scours pipes completely clean with 4,000 PSI water pressure, and HD sewer cameras that show us exactly what’s happening inside your pipes.
For Clinton Township’s older neighborhoods where tree roots invade sewer lines, we offer specialized root cutting services followed by treatments that prevent regrowth. We can often save you from expensive sewer line replacement with thorough cleaning and spot repairs.
Main sewer line problems affect your entire house. Multiple drains backing up, gurgling sounds when you flush, sewage odors, or water pooling in your yard all indicate main line issues. We diagnose these problems with video inspection and recommend the most cost-effective solution, whether that’s cleaning, repair, or replacement.
Water Heater Installation and Repair
Nothing ruins your morning like stepping into an ice-cold shower. Water heaters typically last 8-12 years, but many Clinton Township homes have units pushing 15-20 years. If yours is getting up there in age, it’s worth having us inspect it before it fails.
We work with all water heater types. Traditional tank water heaters in 30, 40, 50, and 80-gallon capacities. Tankless water heaters that provide endless hot water and save space. Gas and electric models. We’ll help you choose the right size and type for your household’s needs and budget.
Common water heater problems include no hot water (heating element or thermostat failure), not enough hot water (undersized unit or sediment buildup), strange noises (sediment buildup causing kettling), leaking (tank corrosion or loose connections), and rusty or smelly water (anode rod failure or bacteria).
Many water heater issues can be repaired if caught early. A $200 heating element replacement beats a $1,500 water heater replacement. But sometimes replacement is the smarter choice, especially for older units. We’ll give you honest advice about repair versus replacement based on your specific situation.
For Clinton Township homes with hard water (common in this area), we recommend regular water heater flushing to prevent sediment buildup. This simple maintenance extends the life of your unit and keeps it running efficiently.
Leak Detection and Pipe Repair
Water leaks waste money and cause damage. A dripping faucet can waste 3,000+ gallons per year. A running toilet wastes even more. Hidden leaks in walls or under slabs can cause thousands in damage before you notice them.
We find leaks others miss using electronic leak detection equipment, thermal imaging cameras, and acoustic listening devices. These tools let us pinpoint leaks without tearing apart your home. We’ve found leaks hidden in walls, under concrete slabs, and buried in yards.
Once we locate the leak, we fix it with the least invasive method possible. Sometimes that’s a simple joint repair. Other times we need to replace a section of pipe. For slab leaks in Clinton Township’s many ranch-style homes, we often reroute pipes rather than breaking through your foundation, saving you time and money.
We repair all pipe types. Copper pipes (common in homes built 1950s-1990s). PEX piping (flexible and freeze-resistant). PVC and CPVC. Old galvanized steel and cast iron. We match repairs to your existing system or recommend upgrades when old pipes are failing.
Pinhole leaks in copper pipes are common in homes around Metro Parkway and Gratiot Avenue. These tiny leaks often indicate pipe corrosion throughout your system. We’ll assess whether spot repairs or whole-house repiping makes more sense for your situation.
Toilet Repair and Replacement
Toilets seem simple but they’re actually complex mechanisms. When something goes wrong, it usually means wasted water and frustration.
Running toilets are water wasters. That constant sound of water trickling means your toilet is refilling continuously. Usually it’s a worn flapper valve, faulty fill valve, or incorrect float adjustment. These are quick, affordable fixes.
Toilets that won’t flush properly might have clogged jets, a failing flapper that doesn’t open fully, or insufficient water in the tank. We diagnose the cause and fix it right.
Leaking toilets are trickier. Water pooling around the base usually means the wax ring seal has failed. This requires removing and resetting the toilet with a new seal. Ignoring this leak can rot your subfloor.
For older toilets in Clinton Township homes built before 1994, you might have a 3.5 to 7-gallon per flush model. Modern low-flow toilets use 1.28 to 1.6 gallons per flush, saving water and money. We install quality toilets that actually flush properly, not the cheap models that require multiple flushes.
Faucet and Fixture Services
Dripping faucets waste water and get annoying fast. That constant drip, drip, drip keeps you awake at night. Most faucet leaks come from worn washers, O-rings, or cartridges. These are relatively simple repairs.
We repair all faucet types. Compression faucets with separate hot and cold handles. Single-handle cartridge faucets. Ball faucets. Ceramic disk faucets. If your faucet is older and parts are hard to find, replacement might make more sense than hunting down discontinued components.
Installing new faucets and fixtures is one of the easiest ways to update your kitchen or bathroom. We install kitchen faucets with pull-down sprayers and touchless operation. Bathroom faucets in every style. Shower systems from basic to spa-like. Pot fillers for serious cooks. Whatever fixtures you choose, we’ll install them correctly so they don’t leak and they last for years.
Garbage Disposal Services
Garbage disposals make kitchen cleanup easier, but they need proper care. Clinton Township’s hard water can cause buildup. Putting the wrong things down the disposal damages it.
Common disposal problems include jammed disposals (usually fixable with a reset and manual rotation), leaking disposals (seals or mounting hardware), excessive noise (worn bearings or foreign objects), and disposals that won’t turn on (electrical issue or motor failure).
We repair disposals when possible, but sometimes replacement is smarter. A new disposal costs $150-400 installed, which is often close to the repair cost on an older unit. Modern disposals are quieter and more powerful than models from 10+ years ago.
Never put these in your disposal: grease and oil (solidifies in pipes), fibrous vegetables (celery, asparagus), pasta and rice (expands with water), eggshells, coffee grounds in large quantities, or bones and fruit pits.
Sump Pump Installation and Repair
Basements in Clinton Township flood during heavy rains, especially in low-lying areas near the Clinton River. A working sump pump is your main defense against water damage.
Sump pumps typically last 7-10 years. If yours is older, consider replacing it before it fails. We install quality sump pumps with proper discharge lines and check valves. We also recommend battery backup systems so your pump works even during power outages, which often happen during severe storms.
Common sump pump problems include pumps that run constantly (bad float switch or check valve), pumps that won’t turn on (electrical issue or dead pump), and loud or vibrating pumps (worn bearings or debris in impeller).
We also install ejector pumps for basement bathrooms and laundry rooms that drain below the sewer line. These pumps handle wastewater and need regular maintenance to avoid failures and unpleasant backups.
Repiping and Whole-House Plumbing
Older Clinton Township homes often need repiping. Galvanized steel pipes from homes built before 1960 corrode from the inside, restricting water flow and contaminating water. Cast iron drain lines crack and leak. Original pipes in 60+ year old homes are living on borrowed time.
Signs you might need repiping include discolored water (rust from corroded pipes), low water pressure throughout the house, frequent leaks in multiple locations, and visible corrosion on exposed pipes.
We typically repipe with PEX (cross-linked polyethylene), which is flexible, freeze-resistant, and cost-effective. It’s perfect for Michigan’s climate. For drain lines, we use PVC, which lasts indefinitely and resists root intrusion better than old clay pipes.
Whole-house repiping sounds major, but we work efficiently to minimize disruption. Most homes can be repiped in 2-3 days. We coordinate with you to make the process as smooth as possible.
Commercial Plumbing Services
Business plumbing is different from residential. Higher usage, more complex systems, and code requirements specific to commercial properties. Downtime costs you money.
We work with all types of Clinton Township businesses. Restaurants on Hall Road need grease trap maintenance, high-capacity water heaters, and commercial-grade fixtures. Retail stores in Macomb Mall need reliable restrooms and proper drainage. Office buildings need water fountains, break room plumbing, and bathroom facilities that handle heavy traffic.
For multi-family properties, we provide maintenance programs that keep systems running and prevent tenant complaints. We’ve worked with several apartment complexes and condo associations in Clinton Township to maintain their plumbing infrastructure.
We schedule commercial work to minimize disruption to your business. Early morning, late evening, or weekend service available. Emergency response for urgent issues that can’t wait.
Why Clinton Township Chooses Drain Masters Rooter Plumbing
You have choices for plumbing service. Here’s why locals call us first.
Licensed Master Plumbers, Not Handymen
All our technicians hold Michigan plumbing licenses. This isn’t just paperwork. Licensed plumbers have extensive training, passed difficult exams, and maintain continuing education. They understand plumbing codes, proper materials, and techniques that prevent future problems.
Unlicensed handymen might charge less, but they often create more problems than they solve. Improper repairs fail quickly. Code violations can cause issues when you sell your home. Insurance might not cover damage from unlicensed work.
Upfront Pricing You Can Trust
Nobody likes surprise bills. After diagnosing your problem, we explain what needs to be done and give you the exact price before starting work. No hidden fees. No padding the bill. If we quote $400, you pay $400.
Some plumbing companies use low advertised prices to get in your door, then hit you with escalating charges once they’re there. That’s not how we work. Our pricing is fair and honest from the start.
We Actually Show Up When Promised
This should be basic, but it’s apparently rare. When we schedule your appointment, we give you a realistic time window and we keep it. If something delays us, we call to update you. We respect your time because we know you’ve got better things to do than wait around all day for a plumber.
Fully Stocked Trucks Save Time and Money
Our service vehicles carry hundreds of parts and materials. This means we can usually complete repairs in one visit. We’re not running to supply houses while you wait, racking up labor charges. The parts and tools we need are already on the truck.
For common repairs like faucet cartridges, toilet flappers, supply lines, and basic fittings, we’ve got them ready. For less common items, we’ll let you know and schedule a return visit at no additional travel charge.
Clean, Professional Service
Our plumbers wear clean uniforms and arrive in clearly marked vehicles. They use drop cloths and floor protection. They clean up after themselves. You shouldn’t have to scrub your floors after we fix your plumbing.
We treat your home with respect. Our team is background-checked and drug-tested. You can feel safe having them in your home.
Warranties on Parts and Labor
We stand behind our work with solid warranties. Parts are covered by manufacturer warranties. Our labor is guaranteed. If something we fixed fails within the warranty period, we’ll come back and make it right at no charge.
This is important. Some plumbers do quick, cheap fixes that fail quickly. We do it right so it lasts.
Common Plumbing Problems in Clinton Township Homes
Every area has typical plumbing issues. Here’s what we see most often in Clinton Township.
Frozen Pipes in Winter
Michigan winters are hard on plumbing. Pipes in exterior walls, crawl spaces, and unheated garages are vulnerable. When pipes freeze, they can burst, causing massive water damage.
Prevention is key. Insulate exposed pipes. Let faucets drip during extreme cold. Keep cabinet doors open so warm air reaches pipes under sinks. We can install heat tape on vulnerable pipes for extra protection.
If your pipes do freeze, call us before they thaw. Sometimes frozen pipes crack but don’t burst until they thaw and water flows again. We can assess the damage and make repairs before you have a flood.
Tree Root Intrusion in Sewer Lines
Clinton Township’s mature trees are beautiful but tough on sewer lines. Roots seek out water and nutrients. They find microscopic cracks in your sewer lateral and grow inside, eventually blocking the entire pipe.
Signs of root problems include recurring drain clogs, gurgling sounds, sewage backups, and lush green patches in your yard above the sewer line.
We use sewer cameras to verify root intrusion. Then we cut them out with specialized equipment and flush the line clean with hydro jetting. For long-term prevention, we can apply root-killing treatments or recommend pipe lining to seal cracks that let roots in.
Hard Water Issues
Macomb County water is notoriously hard, meaning it contains high levels of dissolved minerals. Hard water leaves spots on dishes, makes soap less effective, and causes mineral buildup in pipes and appliances.
You’ll notice hard water effects on faucets and showerheads. That white, crusty buildup is mineral deposits. Inside your pipes, the same thing happens, gradually restricting flow.
We can install water softeners that remove minerals before they cause problems. Your soap will lather better, your water heater will last longer, and you’ll stop fighting mineral deposits.
Sump Pump Failures During Storms
When you need your sump pump most, it sometimes fails. Maybe it’s old and worn out. Maybe debris jammed the float switch. Maybe the power went out.
We recommend testing your sump pump regularly. Pour water in the pit and make sure it kicks on. Annual professional maintenance catches problems before they cause basement floods.
Battery backup systems are smart investments. When storms knock out power, your sump pump keeps working.
Old Galvanized Pipes
Many Clinton Township homes built before 1960 have galvanized steel pipes. These pipes corrode from the inside over decades. You’ll notice decreasing water pressure and rusty water. Eventually they fail completely.
If your home has galvanized pipes, start planning for repiping. It’s not usually an emergency, but it’s coming. We can show you what your pipes look like with a camera inspection and help you plan the replacement.
Plumbing Maintenance Prevents Expensive Emergencies
Most people only call a plumber when something breaks. But regular maintenance prevents most of those breakdowns.
Annual Plumbing Inspections
A yearly inspection catches small problems before they become big ones. We check for leaks, test water pressure, inspect your water heater, check toilet function, look for signs of corrosion, test your sump pump, and video inspect your main sewer line if you have risk factors.
This inspection typically takes an hour and costs much less than emergency repairs. For older homes, it’s especially valuable.
Water Heater Maintenance
Flushing your water heater annually removes sediment that reduces efficiency and shortens lifespan. We also check the anode rod, which protects your tank from corrosion. Replacing a worn anode rod costs $100-200 and can add years to your water heater’s life.
Drain Cleaning Before Problems Start
If you’ve had drain problems before, preventative cleaning stops them from returning. Annual or bi-annual drain cleaning removes buildup before it causes clogs. This is especially smart for older homes and properties with large trees.
Seasonal Winterization
Before winter hits, we can check your exterior faucets, insulate vulnerable pipes, and make sure your heating system’s plumbing is ready for cold weather. This prevents frozen pipe disasters.
What to Do in a Plumbing Emergency
When disaster strikes, quick action limits damage.
For Burst Pipes or Major Leaks
Shut off your main water valve immediately. It’s usually in the basement near where the water line enters your house, or sometimes in a crawl space. Every homeowner should know where this is. Then call us for emergency service. If water is near electrical outlets or your electrical panel, turn off electricity at the main breaker.
For Sewage Backups
Stop using all water immediately. Don’t flush toilets or run sinks. Sewage contains harmful bacteria, so keep people and pets away. Call us right away. Sewage backups need immediate professional attention.
For Water Heater Leaks
Turn off the water supply to the water heater. There’s usually a valve on the cold water line coming into the top of the tank. If it’s a gas water heater, turn off the gas. Electric water heaters should be turned off at the breaker. Then call us.
For Gas Leaks
Get everyone out of the house immediately. Don’t turn lights on or off, don’t use phones inside, and don’t do anything that could create a spark. Once you’re safely outside, call 911 and your gas company. Then call us to repair the leak after the gas company has secured the line.

Frequently Asked Questions About Plumbing in Clinton Township
Q1. How much do plumbing services cost in Clinton Township?
Costs vary widely based on the specific job. Simple repairs like replacing a toilet flapper might be $100-150. Faucet repairs typically run $150-300. Water heater installation costs $1,200-2,500 depending on type and size. Sewer line repairs range from $500 for simple cleaning to $5,000+ for replacement. Emergency service costs more than scheduled appointments.
We provide exact pricing after diagnosing your problem. This protects you from surprise bills. Most Clinton Township plumbers charge similar rates for comparable work. Be suspicious of prices that seem too good to be true. They usually are.
Q2. Do you offer financing for major plumbing work?
Yes, we offer financing options for larger projects like water heater replacement, repiping, or sewer line work. Unexpected plumbing emergencies strain budgets. Financing lets you get necessary repairs done now and pay over time. Ask us about current financing programs and approval requirements.
Q3. How quickly can you get to my Clinton Township home for emergencies?
For true emergencies, we typically arrive within an hour, often faster. Response time depends on where you’re located in Clinton Township and where our nearest available technician is. We prioritize emergency calls based on severity. A burst pipe flooding your home gets immediate response. A clogged drain that’s not backing up might wait a bit longer if we’re handling a crisis.
Q4. Are your plumbers licensed and insured?
Absolutely. All our plumbers hold valid Michigan plumbing licenses. We carry comprehensive general liability insurance and workers’ compensation insurance. This protects you if something goes wrong. If an unlicensed or uninsured plumber damages your property or gets injured on your property, you could be liable. Always verify credentials before hiring any plumber.
Q5. Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. We warranty both parts and labor. Parts are covered by manufacturer warranties, typically one year. Our labor is guaranteed. If something we fixed fails within the warranty period through no fault of your own, we’ll come back and correct it at no charge. This doesn’t cover damage from misuse or normal wear and tear years later, but it does cover workmanship issues.
Q6. Can you work with my home warranty or insurance company?
We work with most home warranty companies and insurance providers. For warranty work, we typically need approval from your warranty company before starting. Keep in mind that home warranties often don’t cover everything, and they may have limits on what they’ll pay. We’ll work with your provider, but you’re ultimately responsible for any costs they don’t cover.
For insurance claims related to water damage, we can document the plumbing failure and provide estimates. Insurance typically covers sudden failures like burst pipes but not gradual problems like slow leaks you should have noticed.
Q7. What areas do you serve besides Clinton Township?
We serve all of Macomb County including Sterling Heights, Mount Clemens, Roseville, Warren, Fraser, Macomb Township, Chesterfield Township, Harrison Township, St. Clair Shores, Eastpointe, Shelby Township, and Utica. If you’re in Southeast Michigan and not sure if we cover your area, just call and ask.
