"Everything went well from my initial phone call to the completion of the project. The person I spoke with first at WaterWork Plumbing was very polite and efficient. She was able to give me a service appointment the next day. She called prior to the plumbers' arrival and the plumbers' arrived within the stated time period. All work was done efficiently and within the stated timeframe. Will definitely recommend and use WaterWork Plumbing again."

"Job went great, needed a couple of things done (handyman + plumber) and multiple visits to my house. Henry made sure to confirm the appointment time the day before and the day of. He had to bring in a partner and made sure the jobs were completed appropriately."

"LP had the flood in 8/2020 & my basement wouldn't stop backing up for 4 weeks. I had 3 plumbers come and couldn't fix it, told me my backyard needed to be dug up, furnace needed to be moved. HA referred Bill, he immediately called on a Sunday, scheduled me for Monday, diagnosed the problem and fixed it on Tues. Bill & his crew, were the best. After dealing with so many plumbers, I was very emotional & he was patient, kind & made sure I fully understood the problem & how they were going to fix it. It wasnt what all the other plumbers said, it was a broken pipe & I am glad he was a decent person not trying to take advantage of people in trouble. I really appreciate Bill and Louis, All Drains. They were prompt, professional, knowledgeable, but most of all they were kind while I was falling apart. Thank you so much!!!!!! Shavonne"

Plumbing FAQs, answered by experts

Ignoring annual sump pump maintenance leads to pump burnout and flooded basements. Using chemical drain cleaners destroys the older cast iron pipes found throughout Southgate. Leaving outdoor hose bibs connected during freezing MI winters causes burst supply lines. Flushing wipes or grease down the toilet accelerates blockages in aging clay sewer laterals. Address slow drains immediately to prevent complete pipe collapses and keep your plumbing flowing smoothly.

Helpful?

Your home's age is a primary indicator for plumbing upgrades. Southgate homes built between the 1940s and 1970s feature original galvanized steel or cast iron pipes that are past their functional lifespan. Check your basement for corroded cast iron drain stacks. You should also install a sump pump system to handle hydrostatic pressure from the clay-heavy soils found throughout southeastern MI.

Helpful?

Unpermitted plumbing modifications fail to meet state standards and require immediate correction. Mixed pipe materials, like galvanized steel connected directly to copper, cause accelerated corrosion at the joints. In cold MI winters, older CPVC pipes in unheated crawl spaces become brittle and crack. Additionally, a sump pump discharging into a sanitary sewer violates Southgate codes. Hire a licensed professional to correct these hazards and protect your property.

Helpful?

Identifying the exact source of the issue determines if you need plumbing work. If water enters your Southgate basement through a floor drain, you have a plumbing problem. Water seeping through foundation walls requires waterproofing instead. Low water pressure points to corroded supply pipes inside your home, while wet ceiling spots stem from winter ice damming. Hire a licensed contractor to inspect these issues and keep your home safe.

Helpful?

As your Southgate home reaches fifty years old, original plumbing systems reach the end of their lifespan. Galvanized supply lines corrode from the inside out and restrict water flow. Cast iron sewer laterals fail due to root intrusion from mature street trees. You must replace seized gate valves with modern ball valves. Upgrading to a tankless water heater also requires extensive gas line and flue modifications in older MI homes.
