plumbing overview
Plumbing Work Done Right, the First Time
A plumbing problem rarely stays small if it’s ignored – a slow leak becomes water damage, a small clog becomes a backed-up drain, and an aging water heater eventually fails at the worst possible time. #1 Construction has spent over 20 years handling plumbing repairs and installations for homeowners across Southeast Michigan, from single fixture replacements to full repiping projects.
Every plumbing job is diagnosed correctly before any work begins, so you’re not paying to fix a symptom while the actual cause goes unaddressed. From there, our licensed plumbing professionals handle the repair or installation to code, with the same attention to quality whether the job is a two-hour repair or a multi-day project tied into a larger remodel.
Every plumbing project we complete is backed by a 1-year labor warranty, with free, itemized estimates delivered within a week.

Our Plumbing Services
Whatever the issue, we offer the specific plumbing service to match.
Leak Detection & Repair
A leak that goes unnoticed doesn’t stay small – it leads to water damage, mold, and higher water bills the longer it’s left unaddressed. We locate the actual source of the leak, whether it’s a visible drip or a hidden leak inside a wall or under a floor, and repair it correctly rather than just patching the symptom.
Drain & Sewer Line Services
Slow or backed-up drains are one of the most common plumbing issues homeowners deal with, and the cause isn’t always obvious from the surface. We clear clogged drains and diagnose sewer line issues, from tree root intrusion to aging pipe, and repair or replace what’s needed to get water flowing properly again.
Water Heater Installation & Repair
Whether your water heater has failed, is showing signs of age, or you’re upgrading to a tankless system, we handle the installation or repair. We size and install the right unit for your household’s hot water needs and handle the plumbing and code requirements that come with it.
Fixture Installation & Replacement
From a single faucet to a full set of new fixtures across a bathroom or kitchen remodel, we install and replace sinks, faucets, toilets, and shower/tub fixtures. This work is often paired with a larger remodel project, and we coordinate the plumbing timeline to match.
Repiping & Pipe Replacement
Older homes often have aging or outdated pipe materials that lead to recurring leaks, low water pressure, or discolored water. We repipe sections of a home or full systems as needed, replacing old piping with materials that meet current code and hold up long-term.
Sump Pumps & Water Management
A functioning sump pump is one of the most important safeguards against basement flooding, especially in Michigan’s wetter seasons. We install and repair sump pump systems and address water management issues that put a basement or foundation at risk.

How Much Does Plumbing Work Cost in Michigan?
Plumbing costs vary based on the type of work, the age and condition of the existing system, and whether the job is a standalone repair or part of a larger remodel. A few factors that most affect cost:
- Type of work – a single fixture repair typically costs less than a full repiping project
- Accessibility – plumbing located behind walls, under slabs, or in tight spaces can add labor time
- Age of existing system – older homes with outdated piping often uncover additional issues once work begins
- Fixture and material quality – the water heater, fixtures, or pipe materials selected affect overall cost
- Permitting requirements – larger plumbing projects generally require permits, which factors into timeline and cost
Rather than publish a generic price range that may not reflect your specific issue, we provide a free, itemized estimate after discussing the problem and inspecting your plumbing system – so you know the real cost before any work is scheduled.
