Professional plumbing installation in South Florida — Nest Concrete project

About Our Plumbing Service

South Florida's aggressive water chemistry, limestone geology, and aging infrastructure create plumbing challenges that require local expertise. Copper pipes corrode from the inside due to our water's pH and mineral content, polybutylene pipes fail without warning, and cast iron sewer lines deteriorate in our soil conditions. Our licensed plumbing division handles everything from emergency leak repair to complete whole-home repiping, tankless water heater installation, bathroom and kitchen remodels, drain clearing, sewer line camera inspection and repair, and backflow prevention certification. We use PEX repiping for most residential projects — it's resistant to Florida's water chemistry, doesn't corrode, and has a 25-year warranty.

  • Whole-home PEX repiping
  • Tankless and traditional water heaters
  • Drain clearing and sewer camera inspection

Decision Guide

Is Plumbing Right for You?

Honest guidance on when this service fits — and when to consider alternatives.

Choose Plumbing When...

  • Home has copper pipe leaks (Florida water chemistry attacks copper)
  • Polybutylene pipes (Florida homes 1978–1995 — known failures)
  • Multiple slow drains or repeated clogs
  • Water heater is 8+ years old
  • Sewer smells or backups in multiple fixtures
  • Planning bathroom/kitchen remodel

Consider Alternatives When...

  • Newer home (under 15 years) with no issues
  • Minor fixture leak (may just need washers/cartridge)
  • DIY project within your skill set (but call for anything with slab/wall penetration)
FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about plumbing in South Florida, answered by our team.

How much does a whole-home repipe cost?

Whole-home repipe in South Florida costs $8,000–$18,000 depending on material and home size. PEX repipe (most common) runs $8,000–$12,000 for a typical 2,000 sq ft home. Copper repipe costs $12,000–$18,000. CPVC is cheapest at $6,000–$10,000 but lower quality. Most homeowners choose PEX for best value and longevity.

How long does it take to repipe a house?

Most whole-home repipes take 5–10 working days. Day 1: prep and wall cutting. Days 2–5: new pipe installation. Days 6–8: testing and inspection. Days 9–10: wall repair (drywall, paint touch-up). Water is typically off for 4–8 hours per day during active work but restored overnight.

What's the difference between PEX and copper?

PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) is flexible, resistant to Florida's aggressive water chemistry, doesn't corrode, and has a 25-year warranty. Costs 30–40% less than copper. Copper has longer history (50+ year track record in normal water), looks traditional, but corrodes from inside in Florida's water in 25–40 years. PEX is the recommended choice for Florida repiping.

How much does a tankless water heater cost installed?

Tankless water heater installation in South Florida runs $2,500–$4,500 for gas models and $3,000–$5,500 for electric. Costs include heater, installation, venting, gas line upsize if needed, and disposal of old tank heater. Rebates available from FPL (up to $300) and manufacturer ($200–500) often offset $500–800 of the cost.

Are tankless water heaters worth it in Florida?

Usually yes. Tankless heaters save 30–50% on water heating costs, provide endless hot water, last 20+ years (vs 10–12 for tank heaters), and take up far less space. Higher upfront cost ($1,000–$2,500 more than tank) typically pays back in 4–6 years through energy savings. Best for gas homes and families with high hot water usage.

Why does my water taste bad in South Florida?

Florida's water is treated with high levels of chlorine, chloramines, and fluoride — leading to distinct taste. Solution options: under-sink reverse osmosis system ($600–1,200 installed), whole-house carbon filtration ($1,500–3,500), or countertop filter pitcher (budget). We install all three types and can recommend based on your water quality.

What are signs I need a plumber?

Visible water leaks, water stains on ceilings/walls, unusually high water bills, multiple drain clogs, sewer smells, low water pressure, discolored water, pipes banging when water stops, water heater age 8+ years, polybutylene pipes, slab leaks (mysterious floor warmth, standing water near foundation).

Do you offer emergency plumbing service?

Yes, 24/7 emergency plumbing in Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach County. Typical response time under 2 hours. Emergency calls include active leaks, no water, sewer backup, no hot water, gas leaks. Rates are 1.5–2x standard for after-hours calls. Major damage typically covered by homeowners insurance (we coordinate).
