"Bathworks did a great job installing our new soaker tub and shower. We love that the crew asked us on our preferred placement of fixtures throughout the process and they were in and out within one day! The customer support team is there in case of any issues, although we did not have any. We love our upgraded tub and use it all the time! Would highly recommend Bathworks."

"Services: Unclog drain, Repair toilet, Repair pipe. // Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness // Haines was recommended to me saying they were good at their job. I called them Monday, Feb 15th about a clogged drain, they came out Tues Feb 16th at the time I was told they would be there, which was great! They were there from 3:30 pm to 6:50 pm. Some repairs had to be made to the laundry tub drain and my toilet had to be lifted so they could access that portion of the drain. After the toilet was replaced, the shut-off valve leaked, so I asked them to replace that also. The work that was done created quite a mess... BUT, when they were finished you would never know that. Everything was cleaned up so well and disinfected, it looked nice and smelled nice. The workmen were very professional and knowledgeable about their job. I will add this company to my contacts as a reliable source for repairs."

"Jonathan did me real solids today. Despite the fact that they were here to clean up bascially messes left by the installers on my HVAC on both AC and furnace, he AGAN went ABOVE and BEYOND when he noticed I was doing my own plumbing project. We had hot water seeping out with our water main shut off on a fixture exchange, and he pointed out we can drain the hot water heater partially to stop this. The last plumber didn't eve care to share this, or even do it. I will not go ANY OTHER PLACE than Service Professor for my plumbing, HVAC and electrical needs. PERIOD. No one else compares!"

"Beware of the sales pitch, they keep stacking on deductions if you sign that day.
On completion of the installation, the bathroom looks great, but there were problems due to previous owners hidden wall once the old tub was removed. My concerns were that the installer and myself had different goals. He wanted to complete the job and I wanted choices. I lost. When we ran into problems and I asked what my options were, his responses were always and quot;I haven't decided yet.and quot;
The wrong tub size was ordered because of the false wall and I asked, and quot;Well it's just a tub, can we put in the right size?and quot; Didn't happen, and no options were offered. Options I thought of later such as 1. stop installation and order the right size; or 2. push the tub back two inches and give more floor space. Instead, a false 2 inch plywood wall was built behind the tub.
Another problem was the tub itself. I order the 17 inch high model thinking I would have more depth from my old 15 inch tub. Not so. Beware of inside tub not being the same depth as outside tub due to support feet under the tub of aproximate 2 1/2 inches. A 17and quot; tub measure 13 1/2and quot; on the shallow side and 14 1/2and quot; on the drain side. Plus the drain hole drops the actual water depth to 10 1/2 inches at the deeper end. This was not pointed out to me before purchase. In my opinion this is a manufacture flaw. The installer helped my out by plugging the drain hole.
I had to search and purchase the new floor tile. I made the right choice and it looks georgous. It was a hard job installing it because the old sub-flooring needed to be removed to match the curve of the previous wall tiles. A lot of unexpected dust. After two days dry time, I applied a sealer. However there were cracks in the grout after two weeks. Ken came back and fixed it and I applied the sealer again.
The third problem I had was a squeaky wall. Apparently the acrylic wall by the head rest was not sealed properly and it sqeeks when I use the tub and rest my head. Ken came back and tried to fix it by inserting foam behind the tub but was not successful. At least it's not a visable defect.
All in all my advice would be take your time and explore other options. Maybe I could have chosen all tile walls instead of acrylic and paid the same price. Go to your tile store and ask their advice before you sign with anyone. They might have more options. However my bathroom looks great and it will serve me for many more years and it is a step-up from what I had."

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

In Big Rapids, several types of professionals handle plumbing projects. Master plumbers and licensed contractors manage major installations and oversee journeymen or apprentices. You will also find specialists tailored to local needs. Drain and sewer experts focus on aging infrastructure near downtown. For rural properties, well and pump specialists handle water quality and pressure tanks, while septic contractors manage private waste systems. Hydronic heating specialists address boiler systems common in cold climates.

Helpful?

Start by confirming whether your Big Rapids property connects to municipal utilities or relies on a private well and septic system. Identify the home's construction year to anticipate aging cast iron or galvanized pipes. Check the foundation type and local frost depth to determine underground pipe routing. Finally, review the property’s permit history to verify past work, and assess local soil types to plan effective basement drainage and waterproofing solutions.

Helpful?

Several warning signs point to faulty past plumbing in MI homes. Look for mismatched pipe materials, non-standard fixture heights, and gurgling drains, which indicate unpermitted modifications. Discolored water and reduced flow highlight corroding galvanized pipes. Visible pipe bulges, mid-run patches, and ceiling water stains reveal improper repairs from past winter freeze damage. Continuous sump pump operation or yard sewage odors also signal failing drainage systems that require immediate professional replacement.

Helpful?

Plumbing upgrades often impact other systems in older Big Rapids homes. Adding new fixtures stresses private well pumps and pressure tanks. Connecting modern pipes to aging cast iron or galvanized lines alters water pressure and flow rates throughout the house. Rerouting pipes through exterior walls requires updated insulation to prevent freezing. Additionally, modifying water lines near a boiler directly intersects with your heating system, requiring coordination with an HVAC professional.

Helpful?

Combining plumbing with other upgrades is highly recommended in MI. Coordinating plumbers and electricians during a kitchen remodel prevents opening walls twice. For basement projects, tackle sump pumps and waterproofing alongside underground pipes to take advantage of shared excavation in clay-heavy soils. Schedule exterior work between May and October to avoid frozen ground. Consolidating these trades under one contractor streamlines the permit process and minimizes disruptions to your home.
