About Us
Our Story
Vanguard Plumbing and Power Jetting was founded out of necessity—to provide expert emergency plumbing services with a deeper focus on health, safety, and long-term solutions. With over 50 years of combined hands-on experience, our team brings a unique background as OSHA-certified professionals and State of Michigan Certified Mold Inspectors. We’ve seen firsthand how plumbing failures can lead to serious indoor air quality issues, including mold growth, and we have the expertise to address both the root cause and its consequences.
What sets us apart? Our advanced abatement capabilities and commitment to high-quality materials ensure that every job is done thoroughly and safely. By integrating professional abatement and containment services with floor breaks and waterproofing, we resolve issues without causing secondary damage. We utilize air scrubbers and specialized equipment to go beyond standard plumbing, delivering a safer, more comprehensive solution. And with 24/7 emergency service, we’re always prepared to step in when you need us most.
