The Sump Pump Switch
Putman and Son’s Plumbing now offers a new and much improved sump pump switch! The failure rate is much lower than the standard switch. The switch functions like a washing machine switch; incredible! It is set outside of the water, so it’s not in the harsh environment and therefore, lasts a lot longer.

Smoke Testing for Pipes
Modern techniques allow plumbers to catch and resolve problems faster than ever before. Smoke testing is an example of a technique that allows plumbers to quickly resolve many plumbing issues at once. By pushing artificial smoke through your home’s pipes, we can quickly locate leaks.
How It Works
We create non-toxic smoke which is forced into the pipes under pressure by a fan system. This pressure is closed off to just a portion of the full system, which we monitor for any signs of smoke. Our team can also use plumbing plugs to test small sections of piping to more accurately assess the system.
If you have a newer home, it may have been smoke tested before. Most homebuilders use smoke testing to evaluate newly completed plumbing systems since a functional test (using water) can cause major damage if any leaks are present.
Why Leak Repairs Are Important
Even the smallest of leaks can be cause for concern. Unintended moisture can create mold, mildew, and fungi-related illnesses rapidly. Some of the health symptoms associated with mold include rashes, fatigue, congestion, and difficulty breathing. Home plumbing systems play a major role in maintaining the air quality indoors.
Next Steps
Once our evaluation is complete, the smoke is easily ventilated, leaving no trace of testing behind. With this light cleanup finished, we can quickly fix any discovered problem(s) and restore flow within the system.

Things to Consider When Choosing a Residential Plumber
When your home’s plumbing systems are in need of repair, you may feel a bit overwhelmed in just how many options you have for getting the work done. In the area of plumbing, it is especially important to choose the best residential plumber from the beginning, providing you with the highest quality work, the very first time. The following three elements must be considered in your search for a plumber to guarantee your satisfaction.
- Experience
The most important factor in a plumber’s ability to handle a variety of tasks is their experience in the field. A seasoned plumber has the expertise to troubleshoot problems quickly and rectify the situation in the most appropriate, cost effective manner.
- Licensing
Similar to other areas of labor, plumbers must receive licensing to work in the United States. You should seek work from Licensed Master Plumbers only, who have demonstrated absolute proficiency. In the state of Michigan, a plumber must have 4,000 hours working as a journey plumber in the two years prior to examination and subsequently pass a grueling test on all facets of the job.
- 24/7 Response
Emergencies are unpredictable and occur at the worst of times. Be sure to seek a company which offers 24/7 response to its customers. This round the clock service demonstrates the dedication and resources needed to handle any problem.
The above are just a few of the things to look for when searching for a residential plumber.
