Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a plumber based in Birmingham?

Yes. Two companies on this list are based in Birmingham: Birmingham Plumbing Heating & Cooling Company and the plumbing company at callpremierplumbing.com, listed second here. Elite Plumbing & Heating Inc is in Royal Oak, next to Birmingham. Triton Plumbing is based in Troy, about 4.4 miles away, and Paradigm Plumbing & Mechanical, INC. is based in Ferndale, about 7.1 miles away. All five serve Birmingham.

How do I verify a plumber's license in Michigan?

Michigan requires plumbing contractors to hold a state license issued through LARA's Bureau of Construction Codes. Ask for the license number and check it on the state's license lookup before any work starts. A website that says a company is licensed is a good sign, but the state lookup is the record to rely on. It is also reasonable to ask for proof of insurance before work begins.

Do I need a permit for plumbing work in Birmingham?

It depends on the job. Permit rules vary with the type of plumbing work, so ask your plumber whether your project needs one and who will pull it before work begins. Get that answer in writing with your quote. For a definite answer, check with the City of Birmingham directly. Settling this up front keeps your project on record and avoids surprises later.

Does Roofing Army do plumbing?

No. Roofing Army does roofing only. Plumbing vents go through the roof, though, and a cracked vent boot is one of the most common leaks we find on inspections. If you notice a leak near a plumbing vent, the cause may be on the roof rather than in the pipes. Roofing Army inspects roofs for free in Birmingham, so we can check the vent boots and flashing for you.
