The Best Plumber in Howell

A Local Plumbing Company Howell Homeowners Know by Name

At L & M Plumbing, being your go-to Howell plumber is just who we are. Our journey started when our owner, John Mills, began learning plumbing at an early age.

What began as a child's curiosity blossomed into a career built on skill, trust, and commitment. Today, he has 30 years of experience in the trade.

Then, in 2002, that commitment became L & M Plumbing. Since then, we’ve prioritized our clients' needs because we do not take trust lightly. We have ensured that our customers feel prioritized by explaining their options. After we finish the task, we are always available for any inquiries that may arise.

We also use high-quality products for all our installations. Some of the brands we use include Rheem, Kenmore, Bradford White, Ruud, A.O. Smith, and American Standard.

But we do more than plumbing. We also support organizations like the Fowlerville Business Association (FBA) and the Family Impact Center, which help families and local businesses. We do this to ensure more job creation since 15% of the total population in the tri-county area lives in poverty.

That's why so many homeowners in Howell leave us positive reviews. At L & M Plumbing, we are focused on customer satisfaction and building long-term relationships with our clients.

Signs You May Need a Plumber in Howell

Most plumbing problems may show early warning signs that you may assume are insignificant, but they can cause severe damage if not addressed immediately.

For instance, in Howell, the presence of underground minerals and changing weather may cause plumbing issues. Therefore, you need to be vigilant and recognize the following warning signs early:

• Surprising Temperature Changes: Does your water temperature fluctuate during use without any warning? For example, your hot water turns cold or runs out very quickly. Temperature inconsistencies like these mean your water heater needs to be seen by a plumber.
• A Dripping Faucet: There's nothing more annoying than a faucet that won’t stop dripping, no matter how hard you try to tighten or repair it. Chances are, the issue won’t go away on its own, and the problem requires a plumber.
• Leaking or Damp Pipe Joints: If not fixed, leaky joints can lead to mold growth, cabinet or floor damage, and other structural issues such as wood rot.
• Sump Pump: You know your sump pump is in trouble if it runs inconsistently, makes strange noises, or fails to activate when needed. If you notice any of these signs, call your Howell plumber.
• Clogged Drains: Consistent clogs in your tubs, shower, toilet, and sinks can be caused by a blocked sewage system. We can help with that. Get in touch with us today to solve your sewage issues.
• White Scale Residue: The presence of white scale on water fixtures or cloudy spots on dishes and appliances suggests hard water. Other signs include water that doesn't lather well and rust-colored staining in your sinks, toilet bowls, and tubs. This shows that you would benefit from installing a water treatment system (or, if you have one, get it checked) before it escalates into something serious.
• Drain Line Clogs: Smelly drains, toilets gurgling, and wastewater backing up indicate line blockages or venting issues.

Our Plumbing Repair Process

After you book an appointment with us, we will call to gather information about your plumbing issue.

We will listen to you and ask a few questions to understand the kind of equipment your plumbing issue may need. More complicated issues may require specialized equipment.

Next, we schedule a site visit at your convenience and, if needed, provide updates to avoid making you wait all day. We will assess the area and give you a detailed explanation of the problem. We then provide all your options, and the one we think is best to resolve the issue. It’s your money and your choice.

Depending on your needs and budget, our payment options include: credit and debit cards, cash, and checks.

For larger repairs, equipment upgrades, or purchases, we offer financing options upon credit approval through Hearth Financing. Hearth Financing approval does not impact your credit score during pre-qualification.

If you accept any of the options, we will start the plumbing repairs, maintenance, or installation, if not immediately, as soon as all required materials are available. And as we work, we will always keep your place clean by using floor protection and cleaning the work area.

After we are done, we will answer any questions and make sure you have all the information you need.
