Plumbing services for Tampa Bay homes
Every job starts with a written price. Every job that needs a permit gets one.
Drain cleaning and clogs
A slow drain is usually a clog that's still building. Clearing it early is easier than dealing with water on the floor.
What's included
- Clearing kitchen, bathroom, tub, shower and laundry drains
- Toilet clogs that a plunger won't fix
- A camera look inside the line when a clog keeps coming back
- A written price before the work starts
- A plain explanation of what caused it and how to keep it from happening again
Signs you need it
- Water drains slowly or pools in the sink or tub
- Gurgling sounds from a drain after you use another fixture
- A bad smell coming up from a drain
- The same clog comes back within weeks
- Water backs up in the tub when the toilet flushes. Call us now.
Leak detection and repair
Hidden leaks do their damage slowly, inside walls and under floors. Finding the exact spot first means a smaller repair.
What's included
- Leak detection to find the source, not just the wet spot
- Repairs to supply lines, drain lines and fittings
- Slab leak options explained, with a written price for each
- Repairs to the pipe under sinks, behind toilets and at the water heater
- A clear explanation of what we found
Signs you need it
- Your water bill went up and your use didn't
- The water meter moves with every tap in the house off
- A warm spot on the floor, or damp drywall or baseboards
- The sound of running water when nothing is on
- Water is coming through a ceiling or a pipe has burst. Call us now.
Know where your main water shut-off valve is before you need it. If a pipe bursts, turning it off is the first thing to do, then call us.
Water heaters (tank and tankless)
A water heater often gives warning before it fails. We repair what's worth repairing and tell you straight when it's time to replace.
What's included
- Repairs to gas and electric tank water heaters
- Replacement with a tank or a tankless unit, sized to your household
- Help deciding between tank and tankless for your home
- The permit, where your city or county requires one
- Hauling away the old water heater
- Flushing and upkeep for tankless units
Signs you need it
- No hot water, or it runs out faster than it used to
- Water pooling around the base of the tank
- Rust-colored hot water or rust on the tank
- Popping or rumbling sounds while it heats
- Water dripping from the relief valve pipe on the side
If your tank is leaking, turn off the cold water valve above it, and the gas or the breaker that feeds it. Then call us.
Repiping
When pipes leak again and again, or your insurer asks about them, replacing the plumbing in the house is often the lasting fix.
What's included
- A look at your current pipes and a written price
- New water lines in PEX or copper
- The permit and inspection
- Small openings in drywall, patched when we're done
- Water turned back on at the end of each work day where the job allows
- The paperwork your insurer asks for
Signs you need it
- Gray plastic polybutylene pipe, or old galvanized steel pipe
- Your insurer flagged the plumbing on a four-point inspection
- Leaks keep showing up in different places
- Low water pressure all over the house
- Rusty or discolored water from the taps
Many Florida insurers ask about your plumbing during a four-point inspection. We can tell you what they usually look for.
Toilets, faucets and fixtures
The everyday fixes and upgrades. Small jobs get the same care as big ones.
What's included
- Toilet repairs and new toilets
- Faucet repairs and replacement in the kitchen and bath
- Sinks, vanities and shower valves
- Garbage disposals
- Shut-off valves and supply lines
- Floors covered and cleanup after
Signs you need it
- A toilet that runs, rocks or keeps clogging
- A faucet that drips or leaks at the base
- Low pressure at one fixture
- You're updating a kitchen or bathroom
Sewer and main line
Your main line carries everything out of the house. When it's blocked, every drain feels it.
What's included
- A camera inspection of the main line, with the video shown to you
- Clearing roots and blockages in the main line
- Repair or replacement of damaged sections
- Cleanout access added where there isn't one
- A written price before the work starts
Signs you need it
- More than one drain is slow or backing up at once
- Gurgling from the toilet when the sink or shower drains
- Water or sewage coming up in the shower or the lowest drain
- Sewer smell inside or in the yard
- Soggy or extra-green patches in the yard over the line
Older Florida homes often have cast iron drain lines under the slab. A camera inspection shows you their condition before you decide anything.
