What we do in Coral Gables

We take plumbing calls in Coral Gables for houses, condos, shops and offices.

Call any hour, day or night, and tell us what is leaking, backing up or not heating.

Older Gables houses often mean plaster, tile and coral-rock walls, so we drill and cut with care.

The usual calls are leaks under sinks, tired water heaters, slow drains and aging supply lines.

We also repair sprinkler pumps and wells where a property has one.

Every job starts with the same two questions.

What is the pipe made of, and how old is it?

Coral Gables: coral rock, old pipes and a septic question

Coral Gables is a city of about 50,000 people.

It includes Cocoplum, Gables Estates, the Biltmore area and the Coral Gables Villages.

Building began in the 1920s, with houses of coral rock, the local Miami limestone, in a Mediterranean style.

The median home was built around 1969, and about six in ten homes date from before 1980.

About a quarter of homes went up since 2000, so old and new pipe can sit a few blocks apart.

Nearly two in three homes are owner-occupied, and about half are detached houses.

The city says many septic systems here are aging and failing.

It has said it is not launching a sewer conversion program.

    The hotel and golf course opened in 1926. Homes from that early building era can mean old pipe.

  • Coral Gables Villages

    Houses run from the 1920s onward, so pipe age can change from one block to the next.

    Excellent service! I called and this wonderful gentleman was here in 30 minutes on a Saturday. He stayed until he ensured my well was working again after fixing each issue. I'd give him 10 stars if I could! Highly recommended.

Questions

Coral Gables questions.

Still wondering? Call (305) 834-1588, any hour.

Do you work on older, coral-rock Gables homes?

Yes.

We drill and cut carefully, and a camera look at the drains comes first when the house is older.

Tell us the age of the home when you call.

Is my Coral Gables home on septic or sewer?

The city says many septic systems here are aging and failing, and it has not launched a conversion program.

Tell us which you have when you call.

Does a historic home change how you work?

Most plumbing sits inside walls and under floors.

The city oversees changes to locally designated landmarks, so ask it first about anything visible outside.
