What we can help with
Water heater repair and installation
Showers gone cold, a puddle by the tank or a heater that has served out its years. A repair, a new heater where the old one stood or a tankless option are all things to go over with the plumber you hire.
Drain cleaning
Slow sinks, standing water in the tub and a main drain that backs up into the lowest fixture. The plumber you hire clears the clog and tells you if the pipe behind it needs work.
Leak detection and slab leaks
A bill that climbs for no reason, a stain spreading on drywall or a warm patch on a tiled slab floor can all mean water is escaping somewhere. The plumber you hire locates it and repairs the line.
Sewer line repair
Gurgling drains, a sewage smell in the yard or several fixtures backing up at once can mean trouble in the sewer line. The plumber you hire can repair the damaged section or replace the line.
Repiping and water lines
Pinhole leaks that keep coming back and pipes that have aged out are a sign to think about new pipe. That might be every supply line indoors, or only the service line that runs in from the meter.
Toilet, faucet and fixture repair
Toilets, faucets, shower valves and disposals all wear out in time, part by part. The plumber you hire repairs the worn part or installs a replacement fixture.
Plumbing trade permits in Tampa
The City of Tampa’s Construction Services department issues a plumbing trade permit, with no plan review, for a set list of jobs. The list includes a water heater replaced in the same location, a repipe inside the house, water service or sewer replacement outside the building, and like-for-like fixtures in the same spot.
Work beyond those limits needs a full Building permit, which goes through application review and plan review before the City issues it. Moving a water heater, or switching one from gas to electric, falls outside the trade permit.
When Tampa homes were built
Tampa’s homes span a wide range of ages. Half of them were built in or before 1984, 46 percent went up before 1980, and about a quarter date from before 1960. An older house and a newer one can call for different plumbing work, so it helps to know roughly when yours was built when you call.
Our process
Tell us what is going on
Phone us and explain what is wrong and which room it is in. If you know roughly when the house was built, mention that as well.
Get your free estimate
There is no charge for the estimate and no obligation to accept it, it is personalized to your job, and going ahead is your call.
The plumber you hire does the work
A local plumber comes to the house and carries out the work you agreed on, and any questions about the job go straight to that plumber.
Where Tampa’s water comes from
The Hillsborough River is the main water supply for Tampa Water Department customers. The City treats and filters it at its own water treatment plant, which also supplies parts of unincorporated Hillsborough County.
Free plumbing tools
Before you pick up the phone, the tools section may already answer a question or two. Curious how old your heater is? The serial number decoder dates it from the label. The size calculator and the tankless flow calculator help with choosing a replacement, the sewer line age checker links your home’s build year to its likely pipe, and the freeze risk checker grades how exposed your pipes are on a cold night.
Frequently asked questions
Can I check a plumber’s license before the work starts?
Yes. The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) runs a Verify a Licensee search, and Tampa’s own service line page sends people there to look a plumber up by name or license number and confirm the license is current. A registered plumbing contractor met a local competency standard and may contract only where registered, while a certified one holds a state certificate and may contract anywhere in Florida. Under the City’s rules, a contractor must produce a state license or a Hillsborough County competency card when asked.
Do I need to know what is wrong before I call?
No. Say what you have spotted, heard or smelled and which room it is in, and we take it from there with your estimate.
