Home plumbing services
Water heater repair and installation
Tank heaters that leak or run cold get repaired or replaced, and tankless units are installed. We also place a new heater where there was none.
Drain cleaning
Sinks, tubs, showers, kitchen lines and floor drains that back up or drain slowly are cleared, and a camera can follow a line that keeps clogging.
Leak detection and slab leaks
Water you cannot see leaves clues: a damp patch, a warm floor, a meter that keeps turning. A plumber traces the leak, then opens up only what is needed to fix it.
Sewer line repair
Sewer trouble starts with a camera run down the sewer line from your house. Roots get cut out, one bad stretch gets dug up and fixed, and a failed line gets replaced end to end.
Repiping and water lines
Worn supply piping is taken out and replaced, either house-wide or only where it is failing, and the service line from the street is part of the job.
Toilet, faucet and fixture repair
A local plumber repairs dripping faucets, toilets that run on, shower valves that stopped mixing and jammed disposals, and replaces the fixture when that makes more sense.
Lead service lines since 2019
Since 2019 the city has been replacing drinking water service lines in homes identified as having a lead line.
A 2019 city notice says lead service lines are most commonly found in homes built between 1920 and 1950. In the Census survey, half of the homes in St. Clair Shores were built in or before 1957, and more than 6 in every 10 were built before 1960.
Permits from Community Development
The St. Clair Shores Building Department, part of Community Development and Inspections, issues plumbing permits. The contractor’s current license number has to be written on the permit application.
The state’s permit information, from the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, names two kinds of applicant. One is a licensed plumbing contractor, and the other is a homeowner who installs plumbing, a building sewer or a private sewer for themselves.

Free plumbing tools
St. Clair Shores figures feed the sewer line age checker, the freeze risk checker and the tankless flow calculator. The size calculator picks a tank for the people in your house, and the serial number decoder dates a water heater from its label. The sewer line age checker shows which pipe materials fit the year your house was built.
Frequently asked questions
Can I get a plumbing permit for my own work?
Yes, for plumbing, a building sewer or a private sewer you install yourself. Michigan’s permit information allows a licensed contractor or a homeowner doing their own installation to apply.
Is lead a concern in St. Clair Shores homes?
Since 2019 the city has been replacing drinking water service lines in homes identified as having a lead line, so ask your plumber about the service line if your house is older.
How cold does it get for pipes?
St. Clair Shores averages 21°F on January nights and sees about 115 days a year at or below 32°F, so unheated spaces matter. Garages, outside walls and rooms with no heat leave pipes more exposed to the cold.
