Home plumbing services
Water heater repair and installation
Repair a tank, replace an old one or add a tankless unit. Dearborn puts hot water tanks on its plumbing permit, and we take care of that step with you.
Drain cleaning
Sinks that creep, tubs that sit full and floor drains that gurgle are signs of a blockage. We clear it, and we check the line when the problem returns.
Leak detection and slab leaks
Damp floors, stained ceilings and a water meter that moves when every tap is off all point to a leak. We trace where the water escapes and repair that section.
Sewer line repair
We run a camera down the lateral, clear roots and repair or replace the damaged stretch. Sewer work has its own permit in Dearborn.
Repiping and water lines
We replace worn supply lines in one room or the whole house, and run new water lines to the building. Requests for a water line go through the city’s Department of Public Works.
Toilet, faucet and fixture repair
Toilets that run on, faucets that drip, tub spouts that will not divert and disposals that stall are all fixed here. We repair what is there, or fit a replacement.
How old Dearborn homes are
Dearborn’s housing leans old. Half of its homes were built in or before 1952, 84 percent date from before 1980 and more than 71 percent were already standing in 1959.
In a house that age, a water heater, a supply line or a drain may have been replaced one piece at a time over the years. We start with what is actually installed in your home and plan the work from there.
A separate permit for sewer work
Dearborn’s plumbing permit application says sewer items need their own permit, apart from the plumbing permit. The sewer items include sanitary, storm and combined laterals.
A job that mixes sewer work with other plumbing therefore needs both. We tell you which one your work calls for when we quote it.
The twenty-year lead line plan
Dearborn has committed to replacing all lead water service lines within the next twenty years, in step with its water main replacement work.
If you are planning a repipe or a new water line, mention it when you call, so we can talk through how it fits with the city’s plan.
Water line requests through the Department of Public Works
To install or disconnect a water line to a house or a business, the request goes to the Department of Public Works Water and Sewerage Division. Dearborn’s water page says official requests must be submitted there.
That covers a disconnect as well as a new line. Tell us the job when you call and we point you to the request.
Our process
Describe the problem
Call and tell us what is happening and the address. Say whether it is a leak, a clog, a heater that has quit or work you are planning, and we sort out the rest on the phone.
Get your free quote
Phone calls are free, and the quote carries no obligation. Once you hear what the job involves, you choose whether we go ahead.
Repair and permit check
The plumber carries out the work. Dearborn’s permit paperwork covers tank swaps, sewer laterals and water distribution pipe, and we take care of it before the work starts.
Free plumbing tools
Start with a tool if you want an answer before anyone visits. Use the water heater size calculator to turn hot-water habits into a tank size, or the tankless flow calculator for an on-demand unit at Dearborn’s cold incoming-water temperature. The serial number decoder gives the year your heater was built. The pipe freeze risk checker scores exposed runs, and the sewer line age checker compares your home’s build year with the service life of its lines.
Frequently asked questions
Does a plumber need a license?
Yes. In Michigan, the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs licenses plumbing contractors, and none is licensed without master plumber representation.
Does a water heater replacement need a permit in Dearborn?
Yes. Dearborn’s plumbing permit lists hot water tanks, so a tank swap goes through the city. A licensed plumbing contractor applies for the permit and records the license number.
Do I call or fill out a form?
Call. Requests are not taken through a form here, so phone with the problem and your address. You get a free, personalized quote, and there is no obligation to go ahead.
Is Dearborn replacing its lead water lines?
Yes. The city says it is committed to replacing all lead water service lines within the next twenty years. If you want to plan a water line job around that, ask us when you call.
