Michigan plumbing FAQ

How do I check a plumber's license in Michigan?

Michigan's Bureau of Construction Codes (LARA) licenses plumbers and plumbing contractors.

Do pipes freeze in Michigan?

Yes, regularly. Michigan winters freeze pipes in exterior walls, crawl spaces, garages and attics, and outdoor spigots that aren't frost-free. Keep the heat on, disconnect hoses in fall and know where your main shutoff is.

Is Michigan water hard?

Generally hard, based on national hardness mapping, but it varies by utility and by well. Your water provider's annual water quality report lists the hardness for your system, and a plumber can test well water.

How old are homes in Michigan?

Census estimates for Michigan put 36% of homes as built before 1960, 27% from 1960 to 1979, 22% from 1980 to 1999 and 15% in 2000 or later. Older homes are more likely to have galvanized supply pipe and cast iron or clay sewer lines.
