What Every Landlord Should Know About Plumbing Emergencies in Metro Detroit

Being a landlord sounds simple — until you get that call.
You know the one: it’s 11 p.m., your tenant says the basement is flooding, and you’re trying to figure out who can fix it right now without overcharging you.

That’s where a local, dependable company like Sewer23 becomes more than just a service — it becomes part of your rental business plan.

Here’s what smart landlords around West Bloomfield, Farmington Hills, and Southfield have learned about staying ahead of plumbing problems.


1. Tenants Don’t Always Catch the Warning Signs

A slow drain or a faint smell might not seem like a big deal to them, but it can mean your sewer line is starting to collapse or fill with roots.
By the time you get the call, the situation’s usually urgent.

That’s why we recommend annual inspections or a quick camera check between tenants. It’s the best way to spot issues before they become midnight emergencies.


2. You Need a Plumber Who Treats Your Rentals Like You Do

We know rental homes aren’t your personal residence — but they’re still your investment.
Sewer23 treats your properties with respect: we protect flooring, communicate with tenants professionally, and handle everything so you don’t have to play middleman during an emergency.

We show up when we say we will — because we know how much bad tenants hate waiting and how much good tenants appreciate reliability.


3. Flat-Rate Pricing Means No Guesswork

Nothing eats into profits faster than surprise repair bills.
Our flat-rate pricing gives landlords peace of mind. You’ll know exactly what the repair costs before we begin. No hourly padding, no inflated “weekend rates.”

We can even send digital invoices and inspection photos directly to you — perfect if you manage properties remotely or have multiple addresses in different cities.


4. Fast Turnaround Keeps Tenants Happy (and Paying Rent)

A plumbing issue left unchecked can quickly become a reason for a tenant to break a lease or withhold rent.
Our 24/7 availability means you’ll never get stuck waiting days for a fix. From sump pump replacements to full sewer repairs, we’re ready when you call.

Happy tenants = stable income.


5. Protect Your Investment Long-Term

Most landlords focus on roofs, HVAC, or paint jobs — but plumbing issues often cause the most expensive damage.
A $250 inspection today can prevent a $10,000 dig-up next spring.
Sewer23 helps landlords plan ahead with preventive maintenance programs, so you can budget smarter and avoid emergencies altogether.


6. Local Expertise Matters

We handle plumbing for rental homes in Southfield, Farmington Hills, West Bloomfield, Novi, and Detroit every week.
We know which neighborhoods have clay sewer lines, where tree roots invade the most, and how to navigate each city’s inspection requirements.

That local knowledge saves time, money, and headaches.
