We handle leaks and repiping, water heater repair and replacement, drain cleaning, and sewer services with honest, upfront pricing and no unnecessary upsells.

Harry Hayes Plumbing covers every part of your home’s plumbing system, from the fixtures you use every day to the lines under your slab and yard.
Our plumbing services in Jacksonville, FL, cover everything from leaky faucets and running toilets to slab leak detection, main water line repair, and whole-home repiping. We find the source of the problem first, then fix it right.
We provide water heater repair & replacement in Jacksonville, FL, for tank and tankless systems, and we also install hybrid models. Jacksonville’s hard water leaves sediment that shortens a heater’s life, so we’ll tell you honestly whether a repair will hold or a new unit makes more sense.
Our drain cleaning in Jacksonville, FL, clears slow and clogged sinks, tubs, showers, and main lines. For stubborn grease, scale, and root buildup, we use hydro jetting to scour the pipe walls so clogs don’t keep coming back.
Our sewer services in Jacksonville, FL, include sewer line repair and rooter services that keep waste flowing safely away from your home. From root-invaded clay laterals in older neighborhoods to cracked lines under aging slabs, we repair the damage and clear the line.
Most plumbing problems give you a warning before they become an emergency. Call us if you notice any of these:
Small plumbing problems grow fast. A pinhole leak can rot subflooring and feed mold, and a partial sewer clog can cause raw sewage to back up into a tub. Catching it early usually means a smaller repair and less damage to clean up.
Homeowner tip: Before your plumber arrives, find your main water shutoff and note when the problem started and which fixtures are affected. That information helps our plumber pinpoint the cause faster.
Jacksonville covers more ground than almost any city in the country, and its housing changes a lot from one side of town to the other. When your home was built, what it sits on, and what pipe material went into the walls all shape what fails and how we fix it.
Riverside and neighboring Avondale make up one of Florida’s largest historic districts, with bungalows, Prairie-style homes, and Mediterranean Revival houses built largely in the early 1900s through the 1930s. Many sit on raised foundations with crawl spaces, under a canopy of mature live oaks. Original or patched plumbing is common, and much of it has been in service for close to a century. Repairs here need care to protect original plaster, tile, and woodwork.
Arlington grew quickly after the Mathews Bridge opened in the 1950s, and much of its housing is single-story ranch homes from the 1950s through the 1970s. Most are built on concrete slabs, so the main drain and often the water lines run under the floor. Our shop is on Arlington Expressway, so this is home turf for our team. Slab construction makes accurate leak location especially important before anyone breaks concrete.
Mandarin, in the southern part of the city along the St. Johns River, is mostly a suburb of single-family homes on larger, wooded lots, built from the 1970s onward. A good share of that housing was built when polybutylene pipe was widely used. Long runs from the street to the house mean longer main water lines and sewer laterals, with more room for trouble.
Baymeadows, on the Southside, is dense with condos, townhomes, and apartment communities built mostly from the 1980s through the 2000s. Units often share walls, stacks, and main lines, so one unit’s problem can quickly become a neighbor’s. Water heaters typically sit in interior closets, and HOA rules may control access and scheduling. Work here focuses on rapid diagnosis and containing water damage.
Oceanway, in North Jacksonville, blends older rural homes with numerous subdivisions built since the 2000s. Newer homes use PEX and modern fixtures, while older homes on larger lots still carry their original plumbing. Builder-grade components in newer homes often reach the end of their life at roughly the same time. That makes this area a mix of first-time repairs and planned upgrades.
Every visit follows the same clear process, so you know what’s happening at each step.
No work is ever added without your approval, and there are no hidden fees. Lifetime Diamond Club members also get a 3-year service guarantee on covered repairs.
Harry Hayes Plumbing offers 24/7 emergency plumbing service, day or night, weekends or holidays. For most emergencies, we offer same-day service so the damage doesn’t spread quickly.
Jacksonville’s weather creates its own plumbing emergencies. Heavy summer storms and tropical systems can overwhelm drains and push sewage back into homes. The rare hard freeze catches exposed pipes and hose bibs that were never built for cold. And a water heater that fails at 2 a.m. or a slab leak flooding a hallway can’t wait until Monday.
Our plumbers come ready to stop active leaks, clear backups with emergency drain cleaning in Jacksonville, FL, and restore hot water, whether you’re in a Riverside bungalow or a Baymeadows condo. When a backup starts in the main line, our sewer services in Jacksonville, FL, cover sewer line repair and rooter work around the clock. Call any time for emergency plumbing.
The cost of plumbing services in Jacksonville, FL, depends on what’s actually wrong, so we price each job after diagnosing the issue. The main factors are:
You’ll always get honest, upfront pricing before any work starts, with no hidden fees.
Repair or replace? We’ll help you weigh it, but the decision is yours. We look at the age of the pipe, fixture, or water heater, how often it has failed, the type of material, and whether one repair is likely to lead to another. A single leak on a newer pipe is usually worth repairing. Repeated leaks on galvanized or polybutylene lines, or a water heater near the end of its life, often make replacement the better value. Financing is available for larger projects like water heater replacement, sewer line repair, or home repiping.

Not necessarily, but it’s worth an inspection. Many early-1900s homes in Riverside and Avondale still have galvanized supply lines, cast iron drains, or clay sewer laterals, all of which corrode, crack, or attract roots with age. A plumber can check their condition and tell you whether spot repairs will hold or whether repiping makes more sense.
A hidden leak is the most common cause. In slab homes, like many in Arlington, the leak may be under the floor, where you’ll notice warm spots, cracked tile, or the sound of running water. A running toilet can also waste a surprising amount of water without being obvious. Our leak detection pinpoints the source before any floor or wall is opened.
It depends on the heater’s age, the part that failed, and how often it has needed repairs. A failed thermostat or element on a newer unit is usually worth fixing, while a leaking tank generally means replacement. For water heater repair & replacement in Jacksonville, FL, we give you honest, upfront pricing on both options, and the choice is yours. Financing is available for replacements.
Check your HOA’s rules on contractor access, parking, and work hours, and let your property manager know if the issue may involve a shared line. Clear the area around the affected fixture and the water heater closet so we can work quickly. In buildings like those in Baymeadows, it also helps to know where your unit’s shutoff valve is.
