Areas we serve in Macomb County

Each community below has its own page, because plumbing changes from town to town more than most people expect. Calls to (207) 419-2600 go to independent plumbing companies that cover Macomb County, and the plumber you're connected with depends on where the house is.

How location affects scheduling

Plumbers plan the day by geography. A visit close to where a plumber is already working fits in more easily than one across the county, and the lakeshore, the older cities to the south and the rural north each sit on different routes. When you call, give the full address so the plumber can tell you honestly when they can come.

Why each community gets its own page

Macomb Township's housing is young, with a median build year around 2000, while Mount Clemens has a median build year around 1955 and many homes built before 1960. Most of the county buys its water from the Great Lakes Water Authority's Lake Huron plant, but New Baltimore and Mount Clemens treat their own water from Lake St. Clair, and the village of Romeo runs on wells. Sewer service differs too: most townships here send wastewater through the county's Macomb Interceptor Drain system, while a few cities run their own treatment plants.

Those differences decide which problems show up. Older homes deal with clay or cast iron sewer laterals, galvanized supply pipe and lead service line questions. Newer subdivisions see more sump pump, water softener and PEX work. Each page below covers the housing, water, sewer, permit office and common problems for that community.

Communities on the edge of the area

The north end of the county turns rural, and many homes there run on private wells and septic systems. Pages for those townships are on the way. If you don't see your town listed, call and ask.
