Plumbing Repair in Valrico, Florida

R.J. Kielty’s Valrico plumbing team handles everything from minor fixture repairs to major sewer line work. Below is an overview of the core plumbing repair services we provide to residential and commercial customers throughout the Valrico area.

24/7 Emergency Plumbing Repair

A burst pipe at 2 a.m. or a sewage backup on a holiday weekend can’t wait until Monday morning. That’s why R.J. Kielty offers around-the-clock emergency plumbing repair in Valrico. Our technicians respond quickly, arrive with fully stocked service vehicles, and work to contain the damage and restore your plumbing system as fast as possible.

Common emergencies we respond to include:

• Burst or frozen pipes
• Sewage backups into the home
• Major water leaks causing active flooding
• Gas line leaks (evacuate first, then call)
• Complete loss of water supply

If you’re experiencing a plumbing emergency, call R.J. Kielty immediately, day or night.

Leak Detection and Pipe Repair

Not every leak announces itself with a puddle on the floor. Many Valrico homes, especially those built in the 1980s and 1990s during the area’s residential boom, develop hidden slab leaks, pinhole leaks in copper lines, or slow drips behind walls that go unnoticed for weeks.

Our plumbers use electronic leak detection equipment and camera inspection technology to locate the source without tearing up your property unnecessarily. Once identified, we’ll recommend the most cost-effective repair, whether that’s a spot repair, pipe section replacement, or repiping for older systems that are failing in multiple areas.

Drain Cleaning and Clog Removal

Slow drains and recurring clogs are more than an inconvenience, they often signal a deeper issue in your drain or sewer line. R.J. Kielty provides professional drain cleaning for:

• Kitchen sink drains clogged with grease and food debris
• Bathroom drains blocked by hair and soap buildup
• Floor drains in garages and laundry rooms
• Main sewer line blockages

We use professional-grade drain snakes and hydro-jetting equipment to clear stubborn blockages that store-bought chemicals can’t touch. Hydro-jetting is especially effective for Valrico properties with older clay or cast iron sewer pipes prone to root intrusion.

Water Heater Repair and Replacement

When your water heater stops producing hot water, or worse, starts leaking from the tank, you need a fast, reliable fix. Our Valrico technicians service both traditional tank water heaters and tankless units from all major manufacturers.

Common water heater issues we repair include:

• No hot water or inconsistent water temperature
• Rumbling, popping, or knocking noises from the tank
• Rusty or discolored hot water
• Leaks at the base of the unit or from pressure relief valves
• Pilot light or ignition problems on gas units

If your water heater is beyond repair, typically units over 10–12 years old, we’ll walk you through replacement options, including energy-efficient models that can lower your monthly utility costs.

Sewer Line Repair and Inspection

Sewer line problems are among the most serious (and costly) plumbing issues a Valrico homeowner can face. Tree root intrusion, ground shifting, and aging pipe materials like Orangeburg and clay tile are common culprits in this part of Hillsborough County.

R.J. Kielty uses video camera sewer inspections to diagnose the exact location and nature of the problem before any digging begins. Depending on the condition of the line, we offer:

• Spot repairs for isolated damage
• Trenchless pipe lining (where applicable) to minimize yard disruption
• Full sewer line replacement when the existing pipe has deteriorated beyond repair

If you’re noticing foul odors in your yard, soggy patches of grass, or multiple drains backing up at once, schedule a sewer inspection sooner rather than later.

Fixture and Faucet Repair

A dripping faucet or a toilet that runs constantly might seem minor, but those small leaks add up. The EPA estimates that household leaks waste nearly 10,000 gallons of water per year, and as a company that advocates for water conservation, R.J. Kielty takes even small repairs seriously.

We repair and replace:

• Kitchen and bathroom faucets
• Toilets (running, leaking, or not flushing properly)
• Showerheads and tub spouts
• Outdoor hose bibs
• Garbage disposals

Our plumbers carry common replacement parts on their trucks, so most fixture repairs in Valrico are completed in a single visit.

Why Valrico Residents Choose R.J. Kielty for Plumbing Repair

There’s no shortage of plumbers advertising in the Valrico area, so why do homeowners keep calling R.J. Kielty? A few reasons stand out:

• 50+ years in business. We’ve been operating in Central Florida since 1973. That kind of longevity doesn’t happen without consistently doing right by customers.
