Complete Plumbing Solutions for Homes in Okemos and Surrounding Areas
Plumbing problems rarely stay small for long, which is why homeowners benefit from having a single trusted team capable of solving issues across the entire system.
Water Heater Replacement
Cold showers and inconsistent hot water are usually signs your water heater is nearing the end of its life. In Okemos
and East Lansing, where many homes still run original systems from the 1970s and 80s, that failure point often arrives sooner than homeowners expect. We install and repair both traditional tank and tankless water heaters, with upfront pricing and a clear recommendation on what actually makes sense for your home.
Bathroom Remodeling
Bathroom plumbing is where Plumbing by Custom Built stands apart. Backed by Custom Built Design & Remodeling's design-build experience, we handle shower valves, faucets, toilets, sinks, and supply lines as part of a full remodel, not just a swap-and-go repair. Whether you're updating a dated Haslett ranch or modernizing a bathroom near Meridian Historical Village, our team makes sure the plumbing behind the walls is done right the first time.
Water Line Replacement
Low water pressure, pipe corrosion, and tree root intrusion are the most common signs of a failing main line, and they show up often in neighborhoods with mature tree canopy near Harris Nature Center and throughout the older blocks around MSU. We specialize in trenchless water line replacement, repiping, and gas line repair, restoring your plumbing with minimal disruption to your lawn and property.
Water Softener Installation
Hard water and mineral buildup are a fact of life in Ingham County, where naturally mineral-rich groundwater wears down pipes, water heaters, and fixtures faster than homeowners expect, especially in older Haslett and Okemos homes with original plumbing. We install and service whole-home filtration, reverse osmosis systems, and softener maintenance, starting with an assessment of your water so you get the right system for your home.

Plumbing Questions Homeowners Ask
How do I know if I have a hidden plumbing leak in my home?
Watch for a spike in your water bill, damp spots on walls or ceilings, a musty smell, or the sound of running water when nothing's on. Hidden leaks can cause serious damage the longer they go unnoticed, so it's worth having a plumber take a look if something feels off. Call (517) 742-2848 and we'll come check it out.
How much does a typical plumbing repair cost?
Costs vary depending on the issue, from a simple faucet fix to a full water line replacement. We charge a $79 dispatch fee, which goes toward the cost of any repair you approve. You'll get a clear, upfront quote before we start any work, so there are no surprises on the bill.
Do you offer emergency plumbing services in the Okemos and East Lansing area?
Yes, our team responds to urgent plumbing issues like burst pipes and major leaks throughout Okemos, East Lansing, and the surrounding Ingham County communities. The sooner you call, the less damage a plumbing emergency can cause.
How often should I have my home's plumbing inspected?
A whole-home plumbing inspection once a year helps catch small issues, like a slow leak or aging pipe, before they turn into expensive repairs. This is especially useful for older homes in Haslett, Holt, and Mason where plumbing systems tend to be original to the house.
What's the difference between a plumbing repair and a full replacement?
A repair fixes the immediate problem, like a leaking joint or a failing valve. A replacement makes sense when a pipe, water heater, or fixture is old enough that repeated repairs cost more than starting fresh. Our team will walk you through which option makes sense for your home before we do any work.
Why is my water pressure low, and what can I do about it?
Low water pressure is often caused by mineral buildup, a hidden leak, or an aging water line. It's a common question we hear from clients in older Lansing and Williamston neighborhoods, and it's worth a professional look rather than guessing at the cause.

Don't Let Small Plumbing Problems Become Expensive Ones
A slow drain that gets ignored becomes a backed-up sewer line. A water heater running past its lifespan ends up flooding a utility room. Most plumbing problems are a lot easier to deal with before they reach that point. Call us and we'll take a look.
