Yes. We repair residential water heaters when a repair makes sense, and we replace them when the tank is leaking or the unit is at the end of its useful life. Call and tell us what's going on — no hot water, not enough hot water, rusty water or a leak — and we'll talk through the next step.

Common signs are a water bill that jumped without more use, the sound of running water when everything is off, wet spots, dripping under a sink, a toilet that runs, or a water meter that keeps moving after you've turned everything off. If you see standing water or a burst pipe, shut the water off at the main if you can and call us.

Shut the water off at the main shutoff if you know where it is. If a water heater is leaking, also shut off its power or gas. Stay out of standing water if electrical outlets or appliances are involved. Then call us. We're open Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 6 PM, and emergency service may be available after hours, so call and ask.

Yes. Drain cleaning and sewer line work is a focus of ours — clogged sinks, tubs, toilets and main-line backups, plus camera inspection on request after a line is cleared. We also handle sewer line repairs when the pipe itself is damaged.

If just one sink, tub or toilet is slow, the clog is usually in that fixture's drain. If several fixtures back up at once, the toilet gurgles when you run water, water comes up in the tub when you flush, or you smell sewage, the problem is more likely in the main line and needs attention soon.

We don't recommend it. Harsh chemical cleaners rarely clear a real blockage, can damage older pipes, and make the job more dangerous for whoever opens the line next. If you already used one, tell us when you call.

After the line has been cleared and is flowing, a camera run down it shows what caused the clog, such as roots, a belly where waste settles, broken pipe or heavy buildup, and where it is. A camera can't see through a backed-up line, so the blockage is always cleared first. Knowing the cause helps you decide on cleaning versus repair.

No. For a minimal additional charge, we offer video camera inspection with obstruction locating. We do camera inspections only when you ask for one. If the inspection leads to a repair you schedule with us within 30 days, we credit the inspection cost toward the repair. Call to ask about your job.

Sometimes. If the clog is in the pipes inside or between the house and the tank, cleaning can clear it, and we can work on the plumbing in the house. If the tank is full or the drain field is failing, you'll need a septic company. When you call, tell us whether you're on septic or city sewer.

Yes. When sewer becomes available on your street, we can handle the plumbing side of connecting your home to it. We're a licensed Florida plumbing contractor (CFC1427359). Requirements, permits and fees differ by county, city and utility, so check with your utility about what applies to your address, and call us to talk through your job.

We work on residential water heaters in the homes we serve. When you call, tell us whether yours is gas or electric and what's going on. We'll let you know what it will take.
