Alejandro Diaz — professional Miami plumber with Hernandez Plumbing

Alejandro Diaz is President of Hernandez Plumbing Company, a family-owned business proudly serving South Florida since 1972. Built on the foundation his grandfather Pedro Hernandez established—an immigrant who started the company from scratch—the firm continues a legacy of hard work, integrity, and service to the community.

Pedro was known not only for building a successful plumbing company but for helping others grow in the trade: among the first to help translate plumbing code books into Spanish and to teach classes that helped many Spanish-speaking plumbers earn licenses and build careers. That same commitment to helping people and doing things the right way remains at the core of the company today.

Alejandro grew up in the business, joining his father on service calls, learning troubleshooting firsthand, and working as a service plumber for many years. From complex field problems to large-scale projects, he developed a deep understanding of both the technical and operational sides of the industry.

He earned a bachelor’s degree in business from Florida International University, strengthening operations, leadership, finance, and growth strategy. After graduation he built experience in marketing and business development—improving customer acquisition, systems, and efficiency—giving him a rare combination of hands-on plumbing expertise and business leadership.

Under Alejandro’s leadership, Hernandez Plumbing has become one of Miami’s leading plumbing and restoration contractors, trusted by homeowners, property managers, investors, and commercial clients. The company handles everyday service repairs and leak detection through cast iron replacement, sewer and drain solutions, full remodels, and major plumbing construction.

Known for finding solutions where others cannot, he takes pride in helping customers avoid unnecessary cost—whether retrieving a drain snake another plumber left behind without breaking floors, or matching an existing valve and trim to avoid opening walls and save thousands of dollars. The focus is always on solving problems the right way, not the most expensive way.

Hernandez Plumbing stands behind every job with strong follow-up, reliable communication, and warranty-backed service. With 500+ five-star reviews, multiple licenses and certifications, active involvement in the BNI network, and Miami’s Best Gold and Silver recognition for 2025 and 2026, the company ranks among South Florida’s most trusted names.

Beyond plumbing, Alejandro leads restoration operations through Total Care Restoration, specializing in water, mold, and fire damage mitigation and restoration—creating a seamless experience from emergency response through completion while protecting property and peace of mind. As a growth-focused strategist, his long-term vision is to expand thoughtfully, create opportunities for his team, build generational wealth for his family, and stay true to the values Pedro started with more than 50 years ago.
