Madison Heights sits south of Auburn Hills astride I-75, a compact city of postwar ranch homes and one of the busier commercial strips in south Oakland County. That pairing defines the work: modest older houses whose drains, sewers and supply lines are aging out, and a dense run of light-industrial, retail and restaurant buildings along the freeway that need commercial service and backflow testing. Madison Heights keeps a plumber moving between the settled ranch and the busy corridor.
This is plumbing for Madison Heights homes and the businesses along the I-75 corridor.
Postwar ranches and an I-75 commercial strip
The houses here are mostly postwar ranches on slab or shallow basements, now old enough that the pipe they were built with is failing: galvanized supply lines rusting closed, early copper, and cast iron drains that scale. Along the freeway, meanwhile, sits a dense band of businesses that is a different kind of plumbing entirely. We cover both, reading the ranch for its aging original system and the commercial building for the scheduled service and testing it needs, because in Madison Heights the two sit a block apart.
Drains, sewers and aging galvanized lines
The residential calls run to the ordinary failures of a settled older city: drains that clog, clay or cast iron sewer laterals that root over and back up, and galvanized supply pipe rusted down until the pressure drops. We camera the sewer to find the real trouble, clear it, and weigh a repipe where the old steel has had it. On the hard local water the heaters scale and fail early too, so a water-heater replacement often comes with a look at adding a softener.
Businesses and backflow along the corridor
The I-75 corridor through Madison Heights is thick with light-industrial shops, retail and restaurants, and that commercial work carries its own requirements. Backflow assemblies on the services have to be tested every year and reported to the water system, floor drains and grease lines need scheduled jetting, and the service has to be timed around open hours. We handle these buildings the way our backflow testing and commercial work describes, keeping the business running while the plumbing gets done.

Why has the water pressure dropped in my Madison Heights ranch?
In a postwar home it is usually galvanized steel supply pipe rusting shut from the inside, which narrows the flow until it falls to a trickle. The rust does not reverse, so the fix is replacing the affected lines rather than patching, often repiping a section depending on how much original steel is left in the house.
Do you handle backflow testing for Madison Heights businesses?
Yes. The commercial services and irrigation systems along the I-75 corridor carry backflow assemblies that have to be tested each year and reported to the water purveyor. A certified tester checks them with calibrated gauges, and we rebuild or replace any that fail, then file the passing result to keep the property in compliance.
