"Jason and James were complete professionals. They ran into some interesting issues in my 85 year old home, with much original plumbing. Nothing got in their way of leaving me with a beautiful shower/tub. And they left the worksite spotless. Thanks guys,,"

"Professional service from inspection/bid right through installation of crawlspace lining, dehumidifier, and sump pump. Jake, Tim, and Josh were respectful of us and our house/property. Communication on arrival time was much appreciated. A little pricey but I believe you get what you pay for and I should have done this years ago. We did not have water issues but an earthy odor and this appears to have fixed this. Well done guys."

"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

Your MI home needs upgrades if you experience frequent frozen pipes, rust-colored water, or reduced water pressure. Homes built before 1960 often feature outdated galvanized steel or cast iron pipes that require complete replacement. Visible mineral buildup on fixtures indicates hard water damage. Properties near the bay also require robust sump pump systems. Hire a local professional to inspect your plumbing and address these critical vulnerabilities before emergencies occur.

Helpful?

Underground service lines and sewer laterals are highly vulnerable to shifting soils and deep freezes in Petoskey. Exposed pipes in crawl spaces and exterior walls require frequent attention to prevent winter bursts. Additionally, hard municipal water accelerates mineral scaling, which degrades water heaters, supply valves, and fixtures faster than normal. Inspect these areas annually and upgrade vulnerable components to protect your plumbing from severe weather and hard water damage.

Helpful?

Petoskey experiences heavy lake-effect snow and deep winter freezes that heavily impact plumbing. You must bury underground water lines below the 48-inch frost depth to prevent freezing. Exposed pipes in unheated spaces face severe burst risks, making freeze-prevention upgrades essential. Additionally, spring thaws shift the ground, which stresses and cracks older sewer lines. Schedule outdoor excavation between May and October when the soil is workable.

Helpful?

Choose materials with high freeze resistance for any plumbing exposed to MI winters. Underground water service lines must withstand deep burial and heavy, glacially deposited soils. Because local municipal groundwater is hard, select pipes and fixtures that resist mineral scaling to ensure long-term durability. For seasonal properties, install components that allow for complete system drainage. Always ensure your supplies meet state code requirements for safety and performance.

Helpful?

Timelines for plumbing depend heavily on the season and your property location. Spring and fall bring high demand for winterizing seasonal homes, which extends contractor wait times. Older Petoskey houses often contain outdated cast iron or galvanized pipes that add days to the project. Permit processing and inspections add another week. Hire a licensed professional early in the season to secure your spot and keep your project on track.
