Why us

The plumber your
neighbor recommends.

Sunshine State Plumbing has been family-owned and Jacksonville-based since 2003. Mike Porter started this company over 22 years ago, and his son Andrew runs operations today. Half the homeowners at the beach know us by name — because we've been their plumber for a decade or more. We're not private equity, we're not a franchise, and we're not going anywhere.

FAQ

Common plumbing questions.

Still have questions?

Call us — a real Sunshine State team member answers during business hours, and our emergency line is covered 24/7.

Call (904) 262-1066

Yes. We handle most plumbing calls in the Jacksonville area the same day you call, and we keep our phones staffed 24/7 for emergencies. When you call during business hours you reach a real Sunshine State team member — not a call center or voicemail — so we can dispatch a licensed tech quickly. Same-day availability depends on how booked the day is and where you're located, so the earlier you call, the better.

The cost of a whole-home repipe depends on the size of the home, how many bathrooms it has, whether we run PEX or CPVC, and how accessible the existing lines are. A partial repipe (one bathroom or a single problem run) costs considerably less. We don't guess prices over the phone — we inspect the home for free, walk you through the options, and give a firm written quote before any work starts.

It depends on your household. A traditional tank heater has a lower upfront cost and is simple to service, which is a great fit for many families. A tankless (on-demand) unit costs more to install but never runs out of hot water, takes up less space, and typically lasts longer and uses less energy. Hybrid heat-pump models split the difference on efficiency. We install and service gas, electric, and tankless models, and we'll size the right option around your hot-water demand and budget rather than upselling you.

Yes. Beyond drain cleaning and hydro jetting, Sunshine State Plumbing handles full re-drains — replacing the drain and waste piping throughout a home — as well as complete sewer line replacement. We assess the situation first and give you a firm written quote before any work begins, so there are no surprises along the way. Sunshine State Plumbing is a Florida State Certified Plumbing Contractor, license CFC1426859.

Jacksonville and Northeast Florida groundwater tends to be on the hard side, with enough dissolved minerals to leave scale on fixtures, spot your dishes, and shorten the life of water heaters and appliances. Whether you actually need a softener depends on your home's specific levels, which is why we run a free water test before recommending or quoting anything. If your water doesn't need treatment, we'll tell you.

For true emergencies — a burst pipe, a major leak, no water, or sewage backing up — we aim to have a tech on the way as quickly as possible, often within the hour depending on your location and the time of day. Our emergency line is answered 24/7, so you're never stuck leaving a message and waiting until morning. Shutting off your main water valve before we arrive can limit the damage in the meantime.

Yes. Sunshine State Plumbing is a Florida State Certified Plumbing Contractor, license CFC1426859, and we carry insurance on every job. We've been licensed and operating in Jacksonville since 2003. Our technicians live and work here locally and stand behind the work they do.

Standard estimates for plumbing work are free, and we don't tack on trip charges to come out and look at the job. You'll get a clear, written quote before we begin, so there are no surprise add-ons once the work is underway. For complex diagnostics — like locating a hidden slab leak — we'll explain any diagnostic fee up front before doing the work.

We serve Jacksonville and Northeast Florida, including Downtown Jacksonville, Arlington, Riverside, Avondale, San Jose, and Mandarin, the Beaches (Jacksonville Beach, Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, and Ponte Vedra Beach), and out into Clay County and Orange Park. If you're not sure whether you're in our area, give us a call — if we can't help, we'll point you to someone who can.
