Plumbing questions, answered for Grandville

Grandville sits in Michigan's continental-climate region — a humid continental climate — hot, humid summers and cold, snowy winters, with sharp freeze-thaw swings between seasons. That's hard on a home's plumbing: freeze-thaw cycles that crack pipe and split fittings and deep winter cold that freezes exposed and uninsulated supply lines all accelerate wear on pipes, fittings, and water heaters, so the failures we see most here are failing water heaters strained by cold inlet water and corroded service lines from road salt and groundwater. We spec pipe, fittings, and fixtures for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.

The call we get most in Grandville is failing water heaters strained by cold inlet water. Local housing is mainly suburban houses with their own service lateral and water heater, mixed with some older central-neighborhood homes, so corroded service lines from road salt and groundwater turns up often too.

For a burst pipe, shut off your main water valve first, then call us — but repairs on gas water heaters, sewer lines, and pressurized supply lines are best left to a licensed plumber.

First check the basics: on a gas unit, see whether the pilot or burner is lit; on an electric unit, check the breaker and the reset button on the thermostat.
