Plumbing emergencies in Metro Detroit: what to do now
First, stop the water: close the main shutoff, usually where the water line enters the basement. If sewage is backing up, stop using water in the house. If water is near outlets or the panel, stay out and call for help.
Emergency plumbers handle burst and frozen pipes, sewer backups, failed water heaters and major leaks, day or night. Requests sent after hours go first to pros who answer 24/7. See burst pipe repair, frozen pipe repair and sewer backups.

Permits and licensing in Michigan
Plumbing work in Michigan is done by a licensed plumbing contractor with a plumbing permit for new installs and replacements. A homeowner who lives in a single-family home may pull a permit for work they do themselves. Check the license on the LARA lookup. In Detroit, permits and inspections go through BSEED; suburbs use their own building department.
