Common Plumbing Problems in Wyoming Homes
Wyoming has drawn its water from Lake Michigan since 1966. Its Donald K. Shine plant has grown from 32 million gallons a day to 120, and it supplies about 230,000 people in Wyoming and neighboring communities.
The city says it knows of no lead service lines. Most are copper or plastic: plastic was allowed from the mid-1960s until 1987, and copper has been required since. The median Wyoming home was built in 1969.
Plastic Service Lines From the 1960s to 1980s
If your house was built between the mid-1960s and 1987, the water line from the street may be plastic. Older plastic can turn brittle and split, often at a fitting. A soggy strip of lawn in a line from the curb to the house, or a meter that runs with every tap off, points to it.
Before a West Michigan Winter
- Shut off and drain outdoor faucets from the inside valve before the first hard freeze.
- Insulate pipes along outside basement walls and in crawl spaces.
- Test the sump pump before the spring thaw.
- Find the main shutoff, usually where the water line enters the basement. See frozen pipes.
Sewer Backups
Roots and age block the clay laterals of mid-century houses.
What Affects Plumbing Costs in Wyoming
No plumber can quote a firm price before seeing the problem. These are the things that move the cost of plumbing work in Wyoming.
- Depth. Service and sewer lines sit below the frost line, so digging is deep.
- Finished basements. Opening and patching walls adds to a leak repair.
- Finding the problem. Leak locating and camera inspections are separate steps, but they keep the repair itself small.
- Time of day. Many companies charge an after-hours, weekend or holiday fee.
- Ask for the arrival fee before the plumber heads out, and for the repair price in writing before work starts.
How to Find a Licensed Plumber in Wyoming
These checks take a few minutes and prevent most bad experiences, whichever Wyoming plumber you end up hiring.
Check the Michigan License
Plumbers in Michigan are licensed by the state. Before any work starts at your Wyoming home, ask for the license number and look it up with the Michigan LARA, Bureau of Construction Codes.
Confirm Who Pulls the Permit
For work that needs a permit, the plumber should pull it.
What to Ask on the Phone
- What is the arrival window?
- Is there a service, trip or after-hours fee?
- For an emergency, will you stop the damage first and quote the permanent repair before starting it?
- What is your license number?
