Home plumbing services
Water heater repair and installation
Your showers go cold, your tank drips or the heater is simply old. Tank and tankless models can be repaired, replaced or installed new.
Drain cleaning
Slow sinks, tubs that back up and floor drains that hold water get cleared, and we look into why the line clogged.
Leak detection and slab leaks
Water where it should not be, or a bill that climbs for no reason. We locate leaks in walls, under floors and in yard lines, then repair them.
Sewer line repair
A camera trip down the line to the street, followed by root cutting, a repair to one section or a new line.
Repiping and water lines
Old or damaged supply lines replaced throughout the house, or a new water line from the meter to your door.
Toilet, faucet and fixture repair
Running toilets, dripping faucets, leaky shower valves and jammed disposals, each repaired or replaced.
Backflow tests every three years
Troy requires backflow testing for residential properties every three years, and the water billing district your address sits in sets the schedule.
The test has to be done by a licensed plumber who holds a backflow tester certification from the American Society of Sanitary Engineering (ASSE).
Water heater replacement permits
Troy’s plumbing permit list carries its own line for a water heater replacement, so a replacement is a permit item and not a quick swap.
Two kinds of applicant can pull a plumbing permit in Michigan: a licensed plumbing contractor, or an owner doing the work in their own house. Mention the permit when you phone us.
The public sewer and your permit
Work on the public sewer is a separate matter from work inside your house. Troy has a Sewer Permit Application of its own, issued through Building Inspections.
City code says no one may open into, connect to or disturb a public sewer without a written permit from the Building Inspector first. If the work reaches the public sewer, that permit has to be in hand before anyone digs.
Where Troy’s wastewater goes
Troy’s water and sewer department says wastewater is discharged to the Great Lakes Water Authority Waste Treatment Plant. Your drains and your sewer line are the first stretch of that path, so a problem on your side is worth looking at early.
Our process
Call and describe the problem
Say what is wrong and give your address. We ask a few simple questions, so the plumber we match to you suits the work.
Hear your quote
The quote is free and fitted to your situation, and it arrives before any work begins. You owe nothing if you decide against it.
Work, permits and inspection
Then the plumber gets to work. If the job needs a permit and an inspection, we explain both as we go.
Free plumbing tools
Before you call, you can run the numbers yourself. A size calculator and a tankless flow calculator help you choose a heater, and a serial number decoder dates the tank you have. A freeze risk checker rates your pipes for January, and a sewer line age checker looks at your line. The tankless flow calculator uses Troy’s January weather, the freeze risk checker uses Troy’s winter nights, and the sewer line age checker uses the age of Troy’s housing.
Frequently asked questions
Can any plumber test my backflow device?
No. Troy’s cross-connection page says the test must be completed by a licensed plumber with an American Society of Sanitary Engineering (ASSE) backflow tester certification.
Does a plumbing contractor need a master plumber?
Yes. Under state licensing rules, a plumbing contractor holds a master plumber license itself or has a master plumber as its representative, and no contractor license is issued otherwise. On a permit application, the contractor writes in its license number.
Is there a permit for a water heater replacement?
Yes. Troy’s plumbing permit list has its own line for a water heater replacement. Call us and tell us what you have, and we will explain what the swap involves.
Can pipes freeze here?
Yes. Troy’s January lows average 20°F, with about 123 days a year at or under freezing. Look first at any pipe that runs through a garage, along an outside wall or across a crawl space.
