Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a plumber based in Utica?

None of the plumbers on this list are based inside Utica. Four of them, PM Plumbing & Mechanical, McQuade Heating & Cooling Plumbing & Refrigeration, The Honest Plumber - Sterling Heights and Westgate Plumbing Services, are in Sterling Heights, right next to Utica. Shelby Township Plumbing Pros is in Shelby Township, also next door. All five serve Utica homes.

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. Make sure the name on the license matches the company you are hiring. A website that says "licensed" is a good start, but the state lookup is the record that counts.

Do I need a permit for plumbing work in Utica?

It depends on the job, so check with the City of Utica's building department before work starts. The simplest step is to ask your plumber two questions: does this job need a permit, and will you pull it? Also ask whether the permit fee and inspection are included in the quote, so there are no surprises later. Keep a copy of any permit and final inspection with your home records.

Does Roofing Army do plumbing?

No. Roofing Army does roofing only, so for plumbing you will want one of the companies on this list. There is one place where the two trades meet: plumbing vents go through the roof, and a cracked vent boot is one of the most common leaks we find on inspections. If you see a water stain on a ceiling, Roofing Army inspects roofs for free in Utica and can check the vent boots while we are up there.
