Homes of that age often still have original drain lines and older supply pipes. Eyk Plumbing repairs leaks, clears drains and sewer lines, replaces water heaters and plumbs remodels in Ottawa Hills.

Ottawa Hills is part of the City of Grand Rapids, laid out on former golf course land after 1922. Its streets are lined with period homes, including Tudors and Colonials, and Pontiac Park gives the neighborhood its playground, courts and open lawn.
Houses of this era often have clay or cast iron sewer lines and galvanized steel or early copper supply pipes, and mature street trees can send roots into old lines. Homes here are on city water and sewer, and permits for plumbing work go through the City of Grand Rapids.

Call Mon to Fri, 8 AM to 5 PM. We explain what the visit involves before we book it.
If drains back up, toilets gurgle or the yard smells of sewage, yes. Many homes here date from the 1920s to 1950s, when clay and cast iron sewer lines were common, and mature trees can push roots into them. A camera inspection shows the line's condition, and we show you the footage before you decide.
Ottawa Hills is a neighborhood inside the City of Grand Rapids, so plumbing permits go through the city, not a township. Rules depend on the job, so check with the City of Grand Rapids before a remodel or a water heater replacement. We plan the work with you once you know what the city requires.
Yes. We replace galvanized steel and early copper supply lines, re-pipe part or all of a house, and plumb kitchen and bath remodels. In older homes we plan the route to open as little finished wall as we can. We look at what you have first and explain what is worth keeping and what should go.
