Plumbing Repair Utica MI | Call Franks Plumbing

Our plumbing inspection is a comprehensive assessment of your home's entire plumbing system. We check for leaks, test water pressure, inspect pipes for corrosion or damage, examine fixtures and drains, and assess your water heater's condition. For Utica residents, we pay special attention to older pipes that are common in the area's historic homes, looking for early signs of wear that could lead to leaks. The inspection helps identify potential problems before they become emergencies, giving you peace of mind and potentially saving you money on future repairs.

Old pipe leaks are a frequent issue we see in Utica's older homes. Our approach begins with a careful assessment to determine the extent of the damage and the best repair method. For minor leaks in accessible pipes, we often use epoxy lining or spot repairs. For more extensive corrosion or recurring problems, we may recommend pipe replacement with durable materials like copper or PEX that will last for decades. We understand that these repairs can be disruptive, so we work efficiently to minimize inconvenience while ensuring a lasting solution that prevents future leaks in your home.

Yes, dishwasher leaks are another common issue we address for Utica homeowners. These often stem from worn door gaskets, loose connections, clogged drains, or aging supply lines. We start by identifying the exact source of the leak—whether it's the appliance itself or the plumbing connections. Our repair might involve replacing seals, tightening fittings, clearing blockages, or installing new supply lines. We also check that your dishwasher is properly leveled and installed, as improper installation can contribute to leaks over time. Addressing these leaks promptly helps prevent water damage to your kitchen cabinets and flooring.
