Safety checklist: call now, or can it wait until morning?
Not every plumbing problem needs a night call. This is the rough line we use when someone calls after hours, and we'll tell you honestly which side of it you're on.
| Call right away | Usually fine until morning |
|---|---|
| Water you can't shut off, or pouring from a pipe or ceiling. | A dripping faucet or a running toilet. |
| Sewage coming up in a tub, shower or floor drain. | One slow drain in one fixture. |
| No water to the whole house. | Low pressure at a single faucet. |
| A leaking water heater tank. | A water heater that's lukewarm. |
| Gas smell (leave first, call 911 and the gas provider). | A higher-than-usual water bill. |
If you're on the fence, call and describe it. Shutting off the main valve buys time for almost any water problem, and we'll help you find it.
Local conditions behind these services
Some of these pages exist because Gainesville is Gainesville. Hard water from the Floridan aquifer drives a lot of water heater, softener and faucet work. Sand over shallow limestone, and clay on the east side, drive slab leaks and sewer line damage. Older homes in the historic districts drive repiping and sewer camera work, and the rural county drives well and septic calls.
Each service page explains how its problem shows up here, with local sources, so you can make a decision before anyone arrives.
Not sure which service you need?
Most people call with a symptom, not a service name, and that's fine. Tell us what you're seeing: water where it shouldn't be, a drain that won't drain, a bill that jumped, or no hot water. We'll work out the likely cause on the phone and send the right equipment. Each service page also links to the closely related ones, so if the first page isn't quite your problem, the right one is a click away.
Every job starts the same way, with a diagnosis and a price before any work begins. Non-emergency estimates are free, and emergency calls are answered 24/7.
Landlords and property managers can book any of these directly for a rental, from a single toilet repair to leak detection across a multi-unit building near the university. We confirm who authorizes the work and who receives the invoice before anything starts.
