24/7 Emergency Plumbing

Around-the-clock emergency service dispatched for Tampa homeowners facing burst or leaking pipes, slab leaks, sewer backups, water heater failures, or no-water situations day or night, weekends and holidays.

Water Treatment, Softeners, RO & Purification
Water softeners, reverse osmosis, and whole-home purification for the Tampa Bay area's hard Floridian Aquifer water cutting the scale that ruins water heaters, fixtures, and appliances and addressing the sulfur “rotten-egg” odor. Ask about our free water testing.
Whole-Home Repiping & Polybutylene Replacement
Pipe repair and whole-home repiping a Tampa Bay specialty. We replace the failure-prone polybutylene installed in thousands of 1980s–90s homes (its reaction with chloraminated water leads to leaks insurers now flag), plus aging cast iron, galvanized, and corroded copper, with leaking pipe and water line repair.
Slab Leak & Leak Detection
Slab leak detection and repair, plus non-destructive leak detection and leak repair vital under the concrete slab foundations of Florida homes, where catching hidden leaks early saves water and, in this limestone region, helps protect the ground beneath your home.
Water Heaters, Tankless & Replacement
Water heater repair, replacement, and installation, including tankless systems Tampa Bay's hard water scales and shortens water heater life, making yearly flushing, replacement, and tankless upgrades popular.
Sewer & Drain Cleaning, Hydro Jetting
Sewer service, drain cleaning, clogged-drain clearing, and hydro jetting with camera inspection clearing grease, scale, and roots from Tampa Bay sewer and drain lines.
Wells, Pumps & Septic-Aware Service
Water pump service and treatment for the many rural Hillsborough and Pasco homes on private wells (iron, sulfur, sediment, and hardness), plus sump pump and pool pump service and septic-aware drain and sewer work.
Gas Lines
Gas line installation and repair for water heaters, ranges, pool heaters, and outdoor kitchens installed and tested safely by licensed professionals.
Fixtures, Outdoor & Pool Plumbing
Faucets, toilets, showers, sinks, bathtubs, and garbage disposals repaired and installed, plus outdoor plumbing for hose bibs, irrigation, pool equipment, and outdoor kitchens.
Plumbing Repairs & Installation
Expert plumbing repairs, inspection, and installation for homes and businesses of every age across the Tampa Bay area.

Tampa's plumbing is as varied as the city, but a few themes dominate. Its historic neighborhoods Seminole Heights, Hyde Park, Ybor City, Palma Ceia, and more are full of older bungalows running on failure-prone cast-iron drain lines and aging galvanized, so whole-home repiping and cast-iron replacement are defining services, while the vast 1980s–90s suburbs have polybutylene, often flagged by insurers. All contend with hard, sulfur-tinged water the city blends Hillsborough River, Floridian Aquifer, and desalinated supply into water that runs hard and etches glass and scales heaters making softeners, RO, and purification top upgrades.

Tampa homes sit on concrete slab and concrete-block foundations over karst limestone not basements so slab-leak detection and catching hidden leaks early matter, both to save water and, in this sinkhole-prone region, to help protect the ground. Aggressive tree roots invade old sewer laterals, the city's many pools bring outdoor plumbing, its towers and condos bring high-rise plumbing, Gulf-coast hurricane season brings storm readiness, and the occasional freeze makes frozen-pipe prep worthwhile.

Customer Reviews

Linda Burns

I highly recommend this company. They were quick and responsive in scheduling my service, and the plumber they sent out was fantastic. Sometimes it’s hard to find a plumber, but search no more. Use them! I certainly will use them again. Most importantly, their prices are very reasonable and competitive.

W P

Outstanding experience! A polite young man Mr. Amado handled a small repair for us, and everything went seamlessly. Scheduling through the call center was quick, communication was stellar, and the pricing and workmanship were top-notch. As someone who has worked in the service industry for a long time, I truly appreciate the commitment to customer service and communication training shown here. The quality of work still needs to stand the test of time, but the overall experience was 10 out of 10. I won't hesitate to use them again!

Brian Ridenour

Daniel was great!! He was very prompt and explained the workings of the new water heater. The company is awesome. Now you could find a cheaper water heater and cheaper labor but I tried one of those water heaters from the big box store and it failed after only 4 years. The ones that Benjamin Franklin sells are MADE IN THE USA instead of a foreign country. Give them a try, you won’t be sorry!

Dennis Sen

10/10, no doubt about it. Lucas was prompt, professional, and knowledgeable. We had an issue with our water heater that left us without hot water or heat this fall. He quickly diagnosed the problems, explained his findings in excellent detail, and got everything fixed. He also went the extra mile in a couple of ways I didn’t expect, which I really appreciated. I’d absolutely recommend Lucas!

Refind Vintage

We had our water heater repaired and had a new water filter system installed after the technician suggested it. He was friendly and factual. After his visit we had to have another repair man to set the water heater temperature. Now it is working fine.

Suzyn Purdy

Christian was a very kind and pleasant young man. He did an exceptional job replacing my kitchen sink faucet and incinerator. He was thorough and helped to get the smell out of our pipes I would recommend him for any job.

Larry Murphy

Our plumber, Jared was efficient and understood our issue quickly! Very respectful of us and property and we highly recommend this company.

Jeremiah Fisher

A full gas water heater installation -- quick install with courteous service. Jon Hare and Luke Stelly gave excellent advice and were finished with the install in less 3 hours (including purchasing the unit itself)! Thanks!

Tammy Spencer

Luke was awesome! I am so happy that I picked your company to do my repair! I will be using your company again. Thank you for your awesome service! I would highly recommend your company to anyone needing service done at their home!

Paula Thompson

The guys were personable, have plumbing experience and seemed knowledgeable of the situation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I replace the cast-iron pipes in my historic Tampa home?

Often, yes. Bungalows in Seminole Heights, Hyde Park, and Ybor may have corroding cast-iron drain lines. We camera-inspect and repipe or replace carefully, protecting a historic home.

Does my Tampa suburban home have polybutylene?

Many 1980s–90s homes in New Tampa, Carrollwood, and Town 'n' Country do. Polybutylene can fail and is often flagged by insurers. We inspect and repipe with modern PEX.

Why is Tampa's water so hard and sometimes smelly?

Tampa blends river, Floridan Aquifer, and desalinated water into a hard, sometimes sulfur-tinged supply. A softener plus RO and purification cuts the scale and odor; we offer free water testing.
