Plumber in Troy, MI

Troy sits just south of Auburn Hills down Rochester Road and I-75, close enough that it is one of our shortest runs. It is a city of two halves for a plumber: large subdivision homes built mostly from the 1960s through the 1980s, and one of the densest commercial cores in Oakland County, the office towers and retail along Big Beaver and the freeway. Both are now mature enough that the plumbing is the next thing on the list, and we work both sides of that Troy.

This is plumbing for Troy homes and the businesses that fill its corridors.

Larger subdivision homes south of Auburn Hills

Troy’s neighborhoods tend toward bigger homes on wider lots than the cities to the south, many of them colonials and ranches that went up in the postwar decades. At forty to sixty years old, their plumbing is reaching the stage where original copper develops pinhole leaks, water heaters have been replaced once and are due again, and the cast iron drains begin to scale. A larger home also means longer runs and more fixtures, so a repipe or a water-heater sizing question here is a bigger job than the same call in a small city.

Office towers and commercial density along I-75

Few places in the county pack in as much commercial space as Troy, from the Big Beaver office towers to the retail strips along the freeway. That work is its own discipline: restrooms and water heaters that take constant use, backflow assemblies the water system requires tested every year, and service scheduled around open hours so a business keeps running. We handle Troy’s offices, stores and restaurants the way our commercial and backflow testing work lays out, planning the job so the doors stay open.

Repiping and pinhole leaks in 1960s to 1980s homes

The copper that plumbed Troy’s postwar homes does not last forever, and on the hard local water it can develop pinhole leaks that show up as a stain on a ceiling or a drip inside a wall. One pinhole is rarely the only one, because the whole system saw the same water for the same decades. When we find them we are honest about whether a spot repair makes sense or whether the home has reached the point for a partial or full repipe, so the next leak is not a month away.

Hard water, water heaters and softeners across Troy

Troy is on hard Great Lakes water, and the hardness is behind more Troy calls than homeowners expect: scaled-up water heaters that fail early, crusted fixtures, and the sediment that makes a tank rumble. Replacing a water heater in a Troy home is usually the moment to decide on a softener, especially on a larger home with a lot of fixtures to protect. We size the heater and the softener to the house rather than dropping in whatever is on the truck.
