Residential, Commercial, and Industrial Plumbing Contractors Serving Burton, MI

We are Terry Allen Plumbing and Heating, and we have been the plumber people in Burton, MI call for a long time. Since 1964, our family has been running the shop on Fenton Road in Flint, and Burton is one of the closest communities we cover. Whether it is a burst pipe on a January morning, a backflow inspection that came due, or a slow drain that finally gave up, we handle residential, commercial, industrial, and emergency plumbing work throughout the area. Call (810) 232-8270 or reach us through our contact page and we will get you scheduled.

Residential Plumbing Services for Homeowners

If you own a home in Burton, chances are you have already run into the kind of plumbing issue that Michigan winters cause. Frozen pipes. Sump pumps that fail during a thaw. Water heaters that quit on a Sunday night. Our residential plumbers show up prepared for the calls we know this area brings.


The work we do most often includes drain cleaning and clog removal, water heater repair and replacement (we also install tankless water heaters when a homeowner wants to make the switch), sump pump repair and replacement, toilet and faucet work, frozen and burst pipe repair, leak detection, garbage disposal installation, and water and sewer line repair from the meter all the way to the fixture.


When we come out, our plumber walks you through what he found and what it will cost before he starts. If we can complete the repair on the first visit, we do. No hidden fees. No upselling on something you did not ask about.

Commercial Plumbing Contractors in Burton, MI

Businesses cannot afford plumbing that limps along. A grease trap that backs up during a lunch rush, a backflow assembly that fails its annual test, or a water line that gives out in a multi-tenant building will cost you more the longer it waits. We are licensed for commercial plumbing and we have the field experience to keep your operation running.


Commercial work we handle in Burton covers pipe installation, repair, and replacement, industrial drain cleaning and sewer service, backflow prevention testing and certification, grease interceptor pump-out and repair for restaurants, code corrections and permit-compliant repairs, commercial water heater installation and replacement, and gas line work for kitchens and heating equipment.



We schedule around your hours whenever we can, and we stock our trucks so most repairs finish in a single visit. For the full picture of what we do on the commercial side, see our commercial plumbing services.

Industrial Plumbing Contractors for Local Facilities

Industrial plumbing is not commercial plumbing with a bigger pipe. The systems are higher volume, the code enforcement is tighter, and the plumbing is usually tied to equipment that has to keep running. We work with plant maintenance teams across the industrial corridor along Dort Highway and out toward the manufacturing sites east of I-475.


For our industrial customers, we handle:

  • Water and process piping for production lines
  • High-capacity drain and sewer service
  • Industrial backflow assemblies and their annual certifications
  • Grease and oil interceptors sized for larger flows
  • Gas line installation and repair for industrial equipment
  • Boiler feed and condensate line work, coordinated with our boiler installation crew
  • Code corrections and permit filings


Every industrial job gets scoped in person before we quote it. That way the number you see on the estimate is the number that reflects the actual work. When possible, we schedule repairs during planned downtime so we are not the reason a line has to shut down.

24-Hour Emergency Plumbing Response

Plumbing does not break during business hours, so we do not run a nine-to-five shop. Call (810) 232-8270 at any hour and a real person picks up. No recording. No callback queue that gets checked in the morning.


Here is how our emergency calls go: you tell our dispatcher what is happening, we send a truck toward Burton with the parts to handle the most common versions of the problem, our tech looks at the situation and tells you what he is going to do before he does it, we make the repair and test the system, and we clean up before we leave.



We take calls for burst and frozen pipes, sewer backups, water heater failures, major leaks, flooded basements, and commercial no-water situations. Our reviews from customers throughout the area are on our Google Maps listing.

One Company for Plumbing, Heating, and Cooling

Most Burton customers we work with keep us as their contractor for everything, not just plumbing. It saves the coordination between two or three different companies, and it means when a plumbing call turns up a furnace issue (or an AC call turns up an aging water heater), we already know your house. If that sounds useful, our furnace repair service and AC service run out of the same Fenton Road shop.
