Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a plumber based in Northville?

Yes. Two of the companies on this list are in Northville: Gensons Plumbing and Long Plumbing, Heating & Cooling, Kitchen & Bath Design. Gensons is a family owned plumbing company with emergency service day or night. Long also offers heating, cooling and kitchen and bath design. Nearby options include Thornton & Grooms in Farmington Hills, Lenox Plumbing in Canton Township and Matheson Heating Air Plumbing in Commerce Township.

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 any plumber for the license number and check it on the state's license lookup before any work starts. Confirm the name on the license matches the company you are hiring. It takes a few minutes and is worth doing for every job, from a water heater swap to a sewer line repair.

Do I need a permit for plumbing work in Northville?

It depends on the job. Work such as replacing a water heater, adding new piping or changing a sewer line generally needs a permit and an inspection, while small repairs like fixing a leaky faucet usually do not. Call the building department that covers your address to confirm. A licensed plumber can usually pull the permit for you, so ask about it when you get the quote.

Does Roofing Army do plumbing?

No. Roofing Army does roofing only, so we do not take plumbing jobs. The two trades do meet on your roof, though. Plumbing vents go through the roof, and a cracked vent boot is one of the most common leaks we find on inspections. If you notice a ceiling stain near a bathroom or a vent pipe, Roofing Army inspects roofs for free in Northville.
