Score is Grade A Plumber's own 0–1,000 rating, computed from review quality and volume, recent activity, owner replies and a verified Michigan licence. Google ratings and counts are shown as reported by Google and are not this site's own rating. A green ✓ means we matched the company to a current Michigan plumbing licence; “verify” means it is not in our register extract yet — check the state record. A blank is not a claim that a company is unlicensed.
What to know about emergency work in Michigan
Before a plumber arrives, close the main water shutoff valve to stop the flooding. [Basic plumbing safety practice]
If you smell natural gas, DTE Energy says to leave the house immediately and go to where you can no longer smell it, then call from that safe location. Do not search for the leak, and do not use switches or appliances on your way out. [DTE Energy]
Emergency and repair plumbing in Michigan must be performed by a licensed plumbing contractor; the state licence is verifiable through LARA. [LARA Bureau of Construction Codes]
LARA warns that a contractor who cannot show a license number or a copy of the license is a red flag, and recommends paying in stages as the job progresses rather than paying the full price upfront. [LARA]
Common questions
What counts as a plumbing emergency?
A burst or badly leaking pipe, a sewage backup, no water, or a water heater leaking onto a floor. Shut the water main first, then call. A dripping faucet can wait for a scheduled visit.
Where is my water shutoff?
Usually where the water line enters the house — a basement wall facing the street, or near the water meter. Find and label it before you need it; in an emergency, one turn stops the flooding.
