Before you hire in Shelby Township
Mid-century and newer systems
Most homes here date from 1989 or later. Original furnaces, water heaters and roofs from that era are well past their service life, so replacement planning matters more than repair.
Michigan basements
Freeze-thaw cycles and clay soils make foundation cracks and wet basements common across Metro Detroit. Foundation and sump pump checks belong on every spring list.
Permits: check with the Shelby Township building department before work starts.

Frozen Pipe Repair in Shelby Township: FAQ
Little or no water from a faucet in very cold weather, frost on exposed pipe, or a bulge in the line are common signs. Leave the faucet open and call a plumber.
Gentle heat from a hair dryer or space heater kept at a safe distance can work on an exposed pipe. Never use an open flame, and shut off the water first if you see any crack.
Thawing a pipe does not need a permit. Replacing split pipe or rerouting lines into heated space is plumbing work that normally needs a plumbing permit from BSEED in Detroit.
