Emergency Plumbing Services Available 24/7

Plumbing emergencies don't follow a schedule, and neither do I. When you're facing a burst pipe flooding your basement, a backed-up sewer threatening your property, or a complete loss of hot water in freezing Michigan weather, you need immediate help. I offer true 24/7 emergency plumbing services throughout Ann Arbor and Washtenaw County. My emergency response includes:

• Rapid assessment of the plumbing emergency to prevent further damage
• Immediate water shutoff and damage control measures
• Expert repairs performed on-site whenever possible
• Temporary solutions to restore functionality until permanent repairs can be completed
• Clear communication about the problem, solution, and costs

Water Heater Installation & Repair in Ann Arbor

Your water heater is one of the hardest-working appliances in your home, and when it fails, daily life becomes challenging. As an experienced Ann Arbor plumber, I handle all types of water heater services including traditional tank water heaters, modern tankless systems, and hybrid heat pump models. Whether your water heater is leaking, making strange noises, producing rusty water, or simply not providing enough hot water, I can diagnose the issue and recommend the most cost-effective solution—whether that's a repair or replacement.

For new water heater installations, I help you select the right size and type based on your household needs, energy efficiency goals, and budget. Tankless water heaters are increasingly popular in Ann Arbor for their energy savings and unlimited hot water supply, and I'm experienced in both gas and electric tankless installations. Every water heater installation includes proper venting, code-compliant connections, and thorough testing to ensure safe, reliable operation.

Drain Cleaning & Sewer Services

Clogged drains and sewer backups are among the most common plumbing problems I address in Ann Arbor homes. While chemical drain cleaners may provide temporary relief, they can damage your pipes and rarely solve the underlying problem. I use professional drain cleaning equipment including snake augers and hydro-jetting systems to thoroughly clear blockages without harming your plumbing. For stubborn clogs or recurring drainage issues, I offer video camera inspection to identify the exact location and cause of the problem—whether it's tree root intrusion, broken pipes, or buildup of grease and debris.

Leak Detection & Pipe Repair

Undetected water leaks can waste thousands of gallons of water and cause extensive property damage. Modern homes have complex plumbing systems running through walls, under slabs, and in crawl spaces, making leaks difficult to locate without professional equipment. I use advanced leak detection technology to pinpoint hidden leaks accurately, minimizing damage to your property during repairs. Once located, I can repair or replace damaged pipes using the most appropriate method for your situation, whether that's traditional excavation, trenchless pipe repair, or pipe relining.

Bathroom & Kitchen Plumbing

Renovating your bathroom or kitchen? I provide complete plumbing services for remodeling projects in Ann Arbor, including moving water lines, installing new fixtures, and ensuring everything meets Michigan building codes. From elegant bathroom vanities to modern kitchen sinks and commercial-grade garbage disposals, I handle every detail of your plumbing installation with precision. My work is clean, professional, and coordinated with other trades to keep your project on schedule.

Serving Ann Arbor & Surrounding Michigan Communities

While I'm based in Ann Arbor, my plumbing services extend throughout Washtenaw County and neighboring communities. I'm familiar with the plumbing systems in both historic Ann Arbor homes and newer construction, and I understand local code requirements. Whether you're in downtown Ann Arbor, near the University of Michigan campus, or in surrounding townships, I provide the same high-quality plumbing service with fast response times.
