Plumber Near Me in Miami & South Florida – Here Are The Types Of Services We Offer
At Fab’s Construction & Remodeling, we’ve performed thousands of plumbing jobs across Miami and South Florida. Whether you need a simple faucet repair or a complete repipe, we’ve got you covered:
Water Heater Installation & Replacement
Upgrade to a new, energy-efficient water heater. We install traditional tank, tankless, and heat-pump water heaters, ensuring proper sizing, venting, and code compliance. Water heater replacement in Miami typically runs $750–$2,000 for a standard 40–50 gallon tank, and $1,650–$5,000 for tankless systems.
Drain Cleaning & Hydro-Jetting
Clear slow drains and stubborn clogs with professional drain cleaning. We use snaking for simple fixture clogs ($150–$300) and hydro-jetting for grease and scale buildup ($350–$600). The average cost to unclog a drain in Miami is around $200, with prices ranging from $110 to $800 depending on the drain and severity.
Leak Detection & Repair
Undetected leaks can cause water damage and high bills. We use advanced electronic leak detection to find hidden leaks in walls, slabs, and ceilings, then repair them with minimal disruption. Minor pipe repairs in Miami run $200–$450, while major repairs range from $625–$2,500.
Toilet Repair & Installation
From running toilets to full replacements, we handle all toilet services. We install high-efficiency, comfort-height, and bidet toilets to match your needs. Toilet rebuilds and flapper replacements typically cost $125–$325.
Faucet & Fixture Installation
Upgrade your kitchen or bathroom with new faucets, sinks, showers, and tubs. We ensure proper connections and water-tight seals. Faucet replacement runs $200–$450 including parts.
Pipe Repair & Repiping
For older Miami homes with galvanized or cast iron pipes, we offer partial or full repiping using durable copper or PEX. Full house repiping in Miami ranges from $3,750 to $18,750+, depending on home size and material. Cast iron pipe replacement runs $500–$1,125 for a single section, or $5,000–$35,000+ for a full residential replacement.
Sewer & Main Line Services
We diagnose and repair sewer line issues, including tree root intrusion, breaks, and backups. Miami’s limestone bedrock (just 3–5 feet down in many areas) makes traditional sewer excavation extremely expensive—trenchless methods are nearly always required. Sewer line repair runs $1,000–$8,750 depending on scope.
Gas Line Installation & Repair
Whether you need gas lines for a new stove, water heater, or outdoor grill, we handle gas piping safely and in compliance with Miami-Dade County codes.
Emergency Plumbing Services
When plumbing emergencies strike—burst pipes, overflowing toilets, or sudden leaks—we’re available 24/7. Emergency plumbing calls in Miami typically cost $200–$1,500, with emergency labor rates at $100–$200 per hour.
Permit & Code Compliance
We handle all necessary plumbing permits, ensuring your work meets the Florida Building Code and passes Miami-Dade County inspection. The minimum fee for plumbing permits in Miami-Dade County is $227.90. A completed Building Permit Application (yellow form) and Plumbing Fee Sheet are required for most plumbing permits.
Why Miami Homeowners Choose Fab's Construction & Remodeling for Plumbing
Expertise in Miami-Dade Codes & Permitting: We have deep experience navigating Miami-Dade County’s plumbing permit process, including the ePermits portal, fee sheets, and inspection scheduling. Plumbing changes require permits, and Miami-Dade County requires a completed Building Permit Application and Plumbing Fee Sheet for most plumbing work. We handle all of it—so you don’t have to.
Miami’s Unique Plumbing Challenges: Miami’s limestone bedrock, just 3–5 feet down in many areas, makes traditional sewer excavation extremely expensive—trenchless methods are nearly always required. Sea-level rise is also actively threatening the city’s sewer infrastructure. We understand these local conditions and specify solutions that work.
Cast Iron & Galvanized Pipe Experience: Many Miami homes built before the 1980s still have cast iron drain lines or galvanized water supply pipes. These materials corrode over time, causing leaks, low water pressure, and discolored water. We have extensive experience replacing these aging systems with durable PEX or copper.
Licensed, Insured Plumbers: Our team consists of licensed Florida plumbers who stand behind their work. We ensure every installation and repair is code-compliant and built to last.
Craftsmanship for the Discerning Homeowner: Miami homeowners expect exceptional quality. Our plumbers deliver clean, precise work—from perfectly aligned pipes to neatly finished installations.
Streamlined, Stress-Free Process: We maintain clear communication, realistic timelines, and clean worksites. We handle permits, inspections, and coordination—so you can focus on your day.
Local Knowledge & Community Focus: As a family-owned business with 25+ years serving South Florida, we know Miami’s neighborhoods intimately. We treat your home with the same care we would our own.
Comprehensive Services Under One Roof: From impact windows to flooring , we manage every trade, ensuring consistent quality and efficient project flow.

FAQs for Miami Plumbing Services
Do I need a permit for plumbing work in Miami?
Yes. Most plumbing work in Miami-Dade County requires a permit, including adding a new plumbing fixture, rerouting plumbing lines, and water heater replacement. Replacing a plumbing fixture in the same location does not require a permit. The minimum fee for plumbing permits in Miami-Dade County is $227.90. As your licensed contractor, we handle all permitting on your behalf.
How much does a plumber cost in Miami?
Most licensed plumbers in Miami charge $50–$125 per hour for labor, with service call fees of $50–$200 on top. Most homeowners in Miami-Dade County pay $200–$625 for a standard service call and repair. Larger jobs—water heater replacement, sewer line repair—run significantly higher. We provide detailed, upfront estimates so you know exactly what to expect.
How much does water heater installation cost in Miami?
A standard 40–50 gallon tank water heater replacement runs $750–$2,000 installed. Tankless water heaters cost $1,650–$5,000 installed, with gas models at the higher end. Point-of-use units for single fixtures cost $500–$1,200 installed. We help you choose the right system for your household and handle all permits.
What are the signs I need to repipe my home?
Signs include frequent leaks in different areas, chronic low water pressure, discolored or metallic-tasting water, and galvanized pipes that are 40+ years old. A single isolated leak in a newer home is usually a repair, but multiple issues point to a full repipe. Full house repiping in Miami ranges from $3,750 to $18,750+ depending on home size and material.
What causes sewer line problems in Miami?
Miami’s limestone bedrock (just 3–5 feet down in many areas) makes traditional sewer excavation extremely expensive. Sea-level rise is also threatening the city’s sewer infrastructure. Tree root intrusion, aging cast iron pipes, and ground movement are the most common causes of sewer line failures. Trenchless repair methods are nearly always required. Sewer line repair runs $1,000–$8,750 depending on scope.
How much does drain cleaning cost in Miami?
The average cost to unclog a drain in Miami is around $200, with prices ranging from $110 to $800 depending on the drain type and clog severity. Snaking a sink or toilet typically costs $110–$275, while a main line clog can cost $100–$800. Hydro-jetting for grease and scale runs $350–$600.
Do you offer emergency plumbing services in Miami?
Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency plumbing service for burst pipes, severe leaks, and other urgent issues. Emergency plumbing calls in Miami typically cost $200–$1,500, with emergency labor rates at $100–$200 per hour. We provide upfront pricing before any work begins.
Additional Questions for Miami Plumbing Services
Q1: What should I do if a pipe bursts in my Miami home?
A: First, shut off the main water valve. Then call us immediately. A burst pipe can cause significant water damage within minutes. We respond quickly, locate the break, stop the flow, and repair or replace the damaged section. Pipe burst repair in Miami runs $250–$1,875 depending on scope.
Q2: How do I know if my water heater needs replacement vs. repair?
A: If your water heater is more than 10–15 years old, requires frequent repairs, or has rust-colored water, replacement is usually the better investment. A standard tank replacement runs $750–$2,000 installed, while repairs typically cost $150–$500. We provide honest recommendations based on your system’s age and condition.
Q3: Are galvanized pipes still up to code in Miami?
A: No. Galvanized steel pipes are no longer approved for new installation in Miami-Dade County. If your home still has galvanized pipes, they are likely corroded and nearing the end of their service life. We can replace them with PEX or copper, both of which meet current code and last for decades.
Q4: What is the difference between snaking and hydro-jetting?
A: Snaking uses a mechanical auger to break up or pull out clogs—it’s effective for simple blockages near the drain. Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the entire pipe interior, removing grease, scale, and roots. Hydro-jetting costs $350–$600 and is the better choice for main lines and grease-clogged kitchen drains.
Q5: Do you offer financing for major plumbing projects?
A: Yes. We offer flexible financing options for larger projects like repiping, sewer line replacement, and water heater installation. Contact us for details during your consultation.
Q6: Can you help with plumbing for a kitchen or bathroom remodel?
A: Absolutely. We work closely with our remodeling team to handle all plumbing aspects of kitchen and bathroom renovations, including relocating fixtures and installing new piping. For complete transformations, see our kitchen remodeling Miami and bathroom remodeling Miami services.
Q7: How long does a whole-home repipe take?
A: A typical repipe takes 3–7 days depending on home size and accessibility. We work in phases to minimize disruption, and we coordinate all inspections and permits. Most homeowners stay in the home during the project, though water will be shut off during working hours.

About Miami, Florida
Miami is a global city unlike any other—a vibrant mosaic of cultures, architectural styles, and neighborhoods, each with its own distinct personality. From the art deco pastels of South Beach to the sleek glass towers of Brickell , the historic charm of Coconut Grove to the family-friendly streets of Kendall , Miami homeowners need plumbing systems that are as reliable as they are efficient.
Why Plumbing in Miami Is Different
Miami’s subtropical climate, limestone bedrock, and aging infrastructure create unique plumbing challenges that homeowners in other parts of the country don’t face.
Limestone bedrock sits just 3–5 feet below the surface in many areas of Miami-Dade County. This makes traditional sewer excavation extremely expensive—trenchless methods are nearly always required for sewer line repair or replacement.
Sea-level rise is actively threatening the city’s sewer infrastructure. Saltwater intrusion into groundwater and aging pipes create additional stress on the system.
Cast iron and galvanized pipes are common in Miami homes built before the 1980s. These materials corrode over time, causing leaks, low water pressure, and discolored water. Replacement with PEX or copper is the long-term solution.
Hurricane season can damage outdoor plumbing, including hose bibs, irrigation lines, and pool equipment. Proper installation and storm preparation are essential.
Plumbing by Neighborhood
Coral Gables – Historic homes with original cast iron and galvanized pipes that often need full repiping.
Brickell – High-rise condos with shared plumbing stacks and HOA-managed maintenance.
Coconut Grove – Older homes with tree root intrusion issues in sewer lines.
Kendall – Suburban homes built in the 1970s and 80s with aging copper and cast iron systems.
Working with Local Regulations

The minimum plumbing permit fee is $227.90, and all permits require a completed Building Permit Application and Plumbing Fee Sheet. We handle all permitting and inspections as part of our service.
Fab’s Construction & Remodeling brings this deep understanding of Miami’s plumbing challenges, building codes, and neighborhood character to every project we undertake.
