Common plumbing problems in Miami homes and condos

Start with the problem that matches what you're seeing.

All 21 services
  1. Water coming through a ceiling or a burst pipe Water is escaping from a supply line, a fixture or the unit above. The longer it runs, the more drywall, flooring and ceiling it soaks. Emergency plumbing
  2. Sewage backing up into a tub or floor drain The main drain line is blocked or damaged, so waste comes up through the lowest drain in the house. Sewer line repair
  3. No hot water, or it runs out fast On an electric tank this is often a tripped breaker, a failed heating element or a worn thermostat. A tank past 10 years may be near the end of its life. Water heaters
  4. A slow or clogged drain One slow drain is usually a local clog of hair, soap or grease. When several drains slow down at once, the main line is the likely cause. Drain cleaning
  5. A stain spreading on the ceiling below A pipe, drain or seal above the stain is leaking. In a condo the source can be your unit or the one above you. Leak detection
  6. A sewer smell with no backup Sewer gas is getting in through a dry trap, a cracked vent or a loose seal. A smoke test can help narrow down where it's getting in. Sewer odor detection
  7. A toilet that runs, leaks or clogs A running toilet usually has a worn flapper or fill valve. Water around the base means the wax seal under it has failed. Toilet repair
  8. A dripping faucet or weak flow Drips come from a worn cartridge or washer inside the faucet. Weak flow is often a blocked aerator or a failing valve. Faucet repair

Condo and high-rise plumbing in Miami

Plumbing in a tower affects more than one unit. We work with owners and building management, and plan each job around the building's rules.

  1. 1 Pressure reducing valves The regulators that bring building pressure down to a safe level, in the mechanical room or inside a unit.
  2. 2 Risers and unit valves The main lines that feed each floor, and the shut-off valve for your unit.
  3. 3 Water heaters in tight closets Electric tanks swapped in closets built around the air handler.
  4. 4 Kitchen and bathroom stacks Shared drain lines that back up on more than one floor.
  5. 5 Leaks into the unit below Traced to the source, so the right unit and the right pipe get fixed.
Empty water heater stand under an air handler with rust stains on the floor
Before: failed tank removed, rust on the pan
New electric water heater installed in the stand under an air handler
After: new electric tank under the air handler

  • We had a serious plumbing and sewage issue in my condo. Daniel and his dad were very clean and professional, and got the issue resolved right away. They were efficient and did a great job at a reasonable price. He is now my go-to plumber.

  • Hot water heater finally gave out. Daniel and Elias were friendly and professional. They truly exceeded my expectations with quickly adjusting to my schedule to get my new hot water heater installed. Thank you for a great experience 👍🏻

  • Very professional. Arrived shortly after we called them about a broken pipe in the front of our house. Repaired the pipe quickly and better than before. Would definitely call them again for an emergency or even routine issue.
