What counts as a plumbing emergency?

Common plumbing emergencies include burst or frozen pipes, sewage backups or overflows, major water leaks causing property damage, water heater failures, gas line leaks, complete loss of water pressure, and flooded basements. If you are unsure whether your situation is an emergency, call us at 248-543-1190 and our team can advise you.

How quickly can Cregger respond to a plumbing emergency?

What should I do while waiting for an emergency plumber?

If you have a burst pipe or major leak, shut off the main water supply to your home immediately.

Preventive Tips to Avoid Future Plumbing Emergencies
Emergency plumbing problems are often preventable. Here are proactive steps Michigan homeowners can take to reduce risk:
- Insulate Pipes: Michigan winters can cause pipes to freeze and burst. Insulate exposed plumbing, especially in basements and crawl spaces.
- Install Leak Detectors: Smart sensors under sinks and near appliances can alert you to water leaks before they escalate.
- Maintain Water Heater: Flush the tank annually to prevent sediment buildup and premature failure.
- Schedule Regular Inspections: Annual plumbing checks help identify weak joints, corrosion, and hidden leaks.
- Avoid Chemical Drain Cleaners: These can damage your pipes over time. Use enzyme-based solutions or call professionals for safe drain clearing.
Being proactive can save you stress, property damage, and unexpected repair bills.

What are signs I have a hidden plumbing leak?

Look for sudden spikes in your water bill, musty odors, mold growth, or water stains on walls and ceilings. These signs often indicate leaks behind walls or under floors.
Can frozen pipes be repaired, or do they need replacing?

It depends on the extent of the damage. Minor cracks might be repairable, but burst or severely damaged pipes typically need replacement. We’ll assess on-site and recommend the best course.
How can I prevent sewer backups in older Michigan homes?

Have your sewer line inspected regularly, especially if you have large trees nearby. Installing a backwater valve and avoiding flushing grease or wipes can also help.
Will emergency plumbing work be covered by my insurance?

If the issue results from sudden or accidental damage (like a burst pipe), it may be covered. We can provide documentation to support your claim.

They always have kind, genuine and people centered technicians who are honest and very communicative. Prices are reasonable and the service is impeccable.

I had an amazing experience with Cregger Plumbing. From the moment I called about my water heater, the customer service was excellent. The woman who answered the phone was friendly, helpful, and accommodating. I booked an appointment for the following day. Jayden was outstanding. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and skilled. I really appreciated his expertise and willingness to educate me throughout the process. I highly recommend Cregger Plumbing!

Brian came out on a Friday and spent about a half hour inspecting and assessing the plumbing of our condensate drain line. We had an idea in mind and since our house sits on a crawlspace, it had some special considerations. He had a plan to bring the system to code and provide a low-maintenance solution. He came back on the following Tuesday and completed the work in under 2 hours. No surprises turned up and he stayed right at the quoted amount. Personable and professional throughout, we’re very pleased and would highly recommend Brian and Cregger’s for plumbing service!

Called to have my ac unit looked at as the fan wouldn't spin and the unit itself was making a terrible clicking and whining noise. Paul got the problem figured out quickly and got my air conditioner running smoothly again in no time at all. He took the time to show me what the problem was and even gave a detailed explanation of what was going on.
