Mid-Year Plumbing Check-Up

Summer can put unique demands on your plumbing system, from increased water usage to sudden storms. A mid-year plumbing check-up can prevent potential issues and keep everything flowing smoothly.

Inspect for Leaks

Check all faucets, showerheads, and exposed pipes for leaks. Even small drips can waste water and lead to more significant problems. Our local experts at Lake Michigan Heating Cooling Plumbing are ready to assist if you find any issues.

Clean Your Drains

Summer is a great time to clean out your drains and prevent clogs. Use a mixture of baking soda and vinegar followed by hot water to keep them clear. Here’s how:
Step 1: Pour a pot of boiling water down the drain to loosen any gunk.
Step 2: Add a cup of baking soda and let it sit for a few minutes.
Step 3: Pour a mixture of one cup of vinegar and one cup of hot water down the drain. Cover the drain and let the mixture work for 10-15 minutes.
Step 4: Finish by flushing the drain with another pot of boiling water.
If the clog persists, it might be time to call your neighborhood experts for a more thorough cleaning.

Check Your Water Heater

Ensure your water heater is functioning correctly. Look for any signs of rust or corrosion and test the temperature relief valve. Regular maintenance can help prevent unexpected breakdowns and keep your water heater running efficiently.

Maintain Your Sump Pump

With summer storms, your sump pump is vital in preventing basement flooding. To ensure your sump pump is in good working order, follow these steps:
Check for Power: Ensure the pump is plugged in and receiving power.
Test the Pump: Pour a bucket of water into the sump pit to see if the pump activates and removes the water. If it doesn’t, you may need a professional to inspect and repair it.
Clean the Pit: Remove any debris from the sump pit to prevent clogs.
Backup Power: Consider installing a battery backup system to keep your pump running during power outages.

Our Neighbors Love Us

Daniel came right down to fix a pump that was broken on a machine and the timing… was critical, he had a very difficult task completed promptly and I was returned to productivity faster than expected. Thank you I’m very happy.

Mark G.

Very patient, great job educating us on the issue and explaining our different options

Amanda Z.

Daniel and Aiden did an amazingly quick job responding to and repairing my broken furnace over a weekend. Cheers Gents!

Robert D.

Very professional and efficient job done. I recommend this technician highly!

Regency A.

Daniel installed an Eternal Water Heater and we absolutely love it! He was quick and very knowledgeable about his products. The quality of his work is second to none!

Melissa K.

So we have to get a shout out to Lake Michigan Mechanical. They were the only ones who could come do the repair today, everyone else was like three days or more out. They were really cool and made the best out of what was a really stressful day for us!! They were really respectful of keeping our door shut when they went in/out (you would not believe how many animals of ours have gotten out due to home repair people) and they cleaned up after themselves!! So far the hot water seems to be working great!

Jessica G.

Professional and knowledge. They did a great job identifying the problems we were having with our boiler. While other HVAC companies were telling us to replace our unit completely, they knew exactly what to fix to get us up and running, saving us thousands of dollars. I will be calling on them for future repairs I might need. Thank you, Daniel and team!!

Eva S.

The phrase first impressions are lasting impressions rings true with Daniel VanderHyde. He rescued us one Saturday morning after we tried “fixing” our leaky shower faucet ourselves. Hoping he could not only undo what we’d done, but be able to fix it without it being a major project was our biggest concern. And he did just that! We were very impressed with the pride and care he put into his work; he was truly a professional.

Jamie & Christie H.

Daniel and the entire staff are very responsive. I have used Lake Michigan Mechanical throughout the years. They are professional and charge a fair rate. Both Nigel and Brandon did an outstanding job fixing my old A/C unit and installed the NEST thermostat. Well done gentlemen! Also, most recently installed a tank-less water heater. Once again did outstanding work by Daniel and Team!

Lauren M.

We highly recommend Dan and Lake Michigan Mechanical. He provides our rental and personal properties with professional, dependable and knowledgeable service.

Duana & Bonnie W.

Dan and company were very prompt, efficient and fixed the problem at my Mothers’ house quickly. We were very happy with their service and how quickly they could come to fix the problem. I would highly recommend them.

Sarah Z.

These folks were very knowledge and we love the straightforward pricing.

Satisfied Customer

I highly recommend Daniel with Lake Michigan Mechanical. Not only is he super friendly but he very professional and knows his stuff. I bought a new house and of course the current water heater died within a months time of buying the house. Daniel and staff were in and within 24 hours of me noting the problem we had a new heater. Thank you so much for great work!
