Plumbing Service Detroit MI | Call First Choice Plumbing

First, shut off the water supply to your washing machine immediately to prevent further flooding. Then, call First Choice Plumbing. We offer emergency repair services for burst water pipes and hoses common in older Detroit homes. Our plumbers will quickly assess the damage, replace the faulty hose or pipe, and check for any water damage to prevent mold. We also recommend installing braided stainless steel hoses, which are more durable against the pressure fluctuations common in our area.

A sewer backup often indicates a blockage or damage in your main sewer line, which typically requires repair. Our team at First Choice Plumbing uses video camera inspections to pinpoint the exact cause—whether it's a tree root intrusion, a collapsed pipe, or a severe clog common in Detroit's aging infrastructure. Based on the inspection, we'll recommend the most effective solution, which could be a high-pressure drain cleaning, a spot repair, or in some cases, a partial sewer line replacement to provide a long-term fix and prevent future backups.

Yes, absolutely. Many Detroit homes are prone to basement water issues due to heavy rain and the local water table. A properly installed and sized sump pump is a key defense. First Choice Plumbing can assess your basement's specific needs, recommend the right pump capacity, and ensure it's installed correctly with a reliable discharge line. We also offer sump pump repair and backup battery installation services to ensure your system works during power outages, giving you crucial protection against costly water damage.
