Royal Oak Plumbing, Old Homes and New
Royal Oak is known for its walkable downtown and its streets of classic 1920s through 1950s bungalows and colonials. Many of those homes still have original clay sewer laterals running under mature trees, along with older cast iron drains and basements with floor drains.
That combination makes root intrusion and storm-related backups common. We clear lines, inspect them on camera, repair leaks and replace water heaters, with honest recommendations and upfront pricing on every job.

Why do Royal Oak sewer lines get roots?
Many Royal Oak homes have original clay sewer laterals with joints that let moisture escape. Tree roots grow toward that moisture, enter the joints and catch debris until the line clogs. Cutting the roots restores flow, and a camera inspection shows whether repair is needed.
Do you service condos in downtown Royal Oak?
Yes. We repair leaks, water heaters, toilets, faucets and drains in Royal Oak condominiums as well as single-family homes.
Do you offer 24-hour emergency plumbing in Royal Oak?
Yes. Certified Plumbing answers the phone 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and dispatches licensed plumbers to Royal Oak for burst pipes, sewer backups, failed sump pumps and water heater leaks. There are no extra fees for nights, weekends or holidays. Call (586) 232-9797.
