Terms and Conditions

Effective Date: June 25, 2026

Company: Associated Plumbing & Sewer Service

Jurisdiction: Southeast Michigan (Washtenaw County, Wayne County, Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, and surrounding municipal regions)

Governing Law: State of Michigan

1. Scope of Mechanical Services & Preliminary Estimates

Associated Plumbing & Sewer Service provides comprehensive residential and commercial plumbing repairs, specialized high-powered hydro jetting, advanced pipe televising and locating, certified backflow prevention, and sump pump structural protection.

  • Fulfillment Architecture & Free Estimates: Financial quotes, project timelines, and operational parameters provided via (734) 663-0055, (734) 482-1900, or https://associatedplumbing.com/ are conditional and non-binding. Final binding contracts are executed strictly in writing after a licensed plumbing specialist performs an on-site physical evaluation of the structural plumbing infrastructure.
  • Installation Warranty Parameters: Standard equipment installations executed by our team are backed by a distinct one-year warranty from the date of mechanical completion. This warranty covers specified craftsmanship and primary assembly components under standard operating wear and tear; it is rendered void if the fixtures or systems are modified by uncertified third parties or subjected to physical abuse.
  • Backflow Testing & Health Code Compliance: Certified backflow testing and prevention services are executed strictly in accordance with local Michigan municipal health codes and water authority mandates. It remains the property owner's or facility manager's structural responsibility to schedule annual cross-connection tests within state-regulated filing windows.

2. SMS & Mobile Messaging Consent

By submitting an online service form, requesting a pipe televising quote, or calling our Ann Arbor or Ypsilanti routing desks, you enter our direct field dispatch network and provide explicit consent to receive SMS communications from Associated Plumbing & Sewer Service for:

  • Logistical & Field Dispatch Coordination: Real-time scheduling confirmations, automated appointment reminders, assigned plumbing technician tracking data, and arrival notifications.
  • Technical Asset Delivery: Digital delivery of subsurface pipe televising inspection logs, video summaries, upfront repair option proposals, and electronic invoices.
  • Account Support: Secure links to process payments, warranty verification sheets, and seasonal preventative drainage reminders.
  • Opt-Out Control: You retain absolute authority to terminate mobile text alerts at any time by replying STOP. Standard message and data rates may apply.

3. Professional Standards, PHCC Membership & Licensing

Associated Plumbing & Sewer Service operates as a premier mechanical contracting entity in strict alignment with Michigan state licensing boards, active Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors Association (PHCC) criteria, and verified Better Business Bureau (BBB) Accreditation standards. All services are performed in accordance with the Michigan Plumbing Code, local municipal sanitary guidelines, and strict safety protocols to ensure the protection and structural integrity of your property.

4. Southeast Michigan Transit & Environmental Factors

As a family-run company treating every property like our own, we understand regional infrastructure constraints. However, Associated Plumbing & Sewer Service is legally exempt from project delays, standby fees, or timeline deviations caused by:

  • Heavy transit or routing bottlenecks unique to regional Southeast Michigan corridors (including I-94, US-23, M-14, and local university center thoroughfares).
  • Severe weather variables (heavy convective seasonal storms, flash flooding, or deep winter ground freezes) that disrupt safe open excavation or impact exterior line clearing.
  • Delays induced by the state-mandated utility tracking network (Michigan 811 / MISS DIG).

5. High-Power Jetting Friction & Substrate Disclaimers

Our professional drain cleaning, mainline cabling, and high-powered hydro jetting truck services utilize calibrated physical force and high-velocity water streams to scour stubborn blockages, scale, and grease. Property owners acknowledge that these procedures place physical stress on internal pipe walls. Associated Plumbing & Sewer Service disclaims structural liability for the failure, line breach, or collapse of pipelines that were fundamentally thinned, cracked, or root-fractured by decades of subterranean corrosion prior to our technical arrival.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by Michigan statutory provisions, the aggregate civil liability of Associated Plumbing & Sewer Service for any mechanical omission, installation variance, or contractual dispute shall not exceed the actual aggregate financial sums paid by the client under the specific service agreement. We assume no civil liability for pre-existing toxic mold growth, structural slab or foundation cracking, wet yard patches, or basement flooding resulting from long-standing plumbing breaches or sump pump overruns that occurred prior to our technical mobilization.
