Signs of a leak include an unexpectedly high water bill, the sound of running water when all fixtures are off, wet spots on walls or floors, and low water pressure. Turn off all water and check your meter — if it keeps moving, you likely have a leak. Call Chris’s Plumbing Service at (813) 623-6830 for professional leak detection.

Immediately turn off your main water shutoff valve to stop the flow, then call Chris’s Plumbing Service at (813) 623-6830 for emergency repair. While waiting, move valuables away from the affected area and use towels or buckets to manage water.
Water heaters should be inspected annually and the anode rod checked every 2-3 years. Flushing sediment from the tank once a year maintains efficiency and extends lifespan. Most tank water heaters last 8-12 years with proper maintenance.
Low pressure can be caused by a partially closed shutoff valve, clogged fixtures, a failing pressure regulator, a water main leak, or corroded galvanized pipes. If you notice a sudden drop in pressure throughout the home, call (813) 623-6830 for diagnosis.
The most common causes are buildup of hair, soap scum, grease, and food particles. In severe cases, tree root intrusion or a collapsed pipe may be responsible. For recurring clogs, call Chris’s Plumbing Service for professional drain cleaning.
Repiping replaces all or most of the water supply pipes in your home, typically with PEX or copper. You may need repiping if your home has galvanized steel pipes, chronic low pressure, frequent leaks, rusty water, or pipes over 50 years old. Chris’s Plumbing specializes in whole-home repiping.
Warning signs include multiple slow drains throughout the home, gurgling sounds from toilets, sewage odor inside or outside, soggy patches in your yard, or sewage backing up into tubs and sinks. Sewer issues should be addressed immediately — call (813) 623-6830 for inspection.
A typical whole-home repipe takes 1-3 days depending on the size of the home. In most cases, water service is restored the same day, and we work efficiently to minimize disruption to your routine.
Yes. Corroded galvanized steel pipes can leach rust and heavy metals into your water, causing discoloration, a metallic taste, and potential health concerns. If your water appears brown or orange, especially when first turned on, it may be time for repiping. Call us for an inspection.
Consider replacement if your water heater is more than 10 years old, you notice rust-colored water, a rumbling sound during heating, inconsistent hot water, or water pooling around the base. We service and install both tank and tankless water heaters.
A running toilet is usually caused by a worn flapper valve, a faulty fill valve, or a float set too high. These are inexpensive repairs but can waste thousands of gallons per month if left unaddressed. Call (813) 623-6830 for a quick toilet repair.
Yes. We repair and replace all types of faucets, showerheads, shut-off valves, and fixtures. Even a slow drip can waste over 3,000 gallons of water per year, so prompt repair saves money on your water bill.
A water softener removes minerals like calcium and magnesium that cause hard water. Hard water leaves scale buildup on fixtures, reduces the lifespan of appliances and water heaters, and can make skin feel dry. The Tampa Bay area has moderately hard water, and many homeowners benefit from a softener. Call us to evaluate your water.
Use drain strainers in sinks, tubs, and showers. Never pour grease, oil, or coffee grounds down the drain. Run the garbage disposal with plenty of water. For recurring clogs despite these steps, we can hydro-jet your drain lines to clear buildup.
