Historic homes with original cast iron pipes and galvanized supply lines. When that 60-year-old plumbing finally goes, you need someone who's worked on these houses before.
(313) 810-7320 — Call NowThe neighborhoods between Michigan Avenue and the Rouge River — along Mason Street, Nightingale, Gulley Road, and around the Henry Ford Museum district — contain some of Dearborn's most charming homes. Craftsman bungalows, Tudor revivals, and mid-century ranches built between 1920 and 1965. Beautiful houses with plumbing systems approaching or past their expected lifespan.
Galvanized steel water pipes last 40–60 years. Cast iron drain lines last 50–75 years. If your West Dearborn home was built before 1970, you're in the window where original plumbing starts failing — sometimes gradually (low water pressure, slow drains), sometimes catastrophically (burst pipe in the wall at 2 AM).
We work on these older systems every day. We know where the shutoff valves hide in 1940s construction, how to access drain cleanouts in finished basements without tearing out drywall, and when a repair will hold versus when you're better off replacing a section before it fails again next month.
