Hernandez Plumbing has provided licensed residential repair in Miami since 1972. From Brickell high-rises to Coconut Grove historic homes, we know the leaks, backups, and no-hot-water calls these properties actually run into.

Tropical humidity, summer storms, and aging pipes make small leaks and backups worse if you wait. Our crews work Miami homes and condos every week, we can walk the quote in Spanish when that helps, and we quote the repair before walls come open — $49 evaluation, 24/7 when you need a shutoff.

We also serve Coconut Grove from our Miami team.

What we see most in Miami residential plumbing

Tropical humidity and frequent summer rain drive corrosion, flooding stress on trench drains, and hurricane-season surge on building systems.

  • Cast-iron deterioration in historic bungalows
  • High-rise riser and booster failures
  • Flooding and garage trench-drain overload
  • Humidity-driven pipe and heater corrosion

Historic homes beside Class-A towers and 24/7 hospitality—repairs must respect both eras and occupancy.

Residential plumbing by neighborhood

Downtown Miami

Downtown towers often share pipes with shops and offices below. We work with building staff so your unit gets fixed without shutting down the rest of the building.

Brickell

Brickell towers often need after-hours access and building approval. We isolate the unit so the rest of the stack stays in service.

Little Havana

Older Little Havana homes often have galvanized or cast-iron pipes. We explain the repair in English or Spanish and quote before we open walls.

Wynwood

Wynwood lofts and gallery buildings often have tight kitchen and bath layouts. We repair on short timelines so you are not down through a weekend event.

Coconut Grove

Grove bungalows often back up from old pipes and tree roots. We find the blockage first so you are not paying to dig until we know where.

Plus 2 more neighborhoods we serve

We also serve Boca Raton, Hollywood, Miami Beach, Miami Springs, Miramar, North Miami, North Miami Beach, Opa-locka, Pembroke Pines, Pompano Beach, South Miami, and Tamarac from our Miami team, with the same residential drain cleaning coverage.

Why This Matters for Residential Properties

Backups in a home put sewage near living areas and can ruin floors and cabinets. Clearing lines fully—and finding the real cause—prevents the same clog from returning next month.

Real reviews from our customers

Awesome service and fair pricing. Jorge was knowledgeable and attentive. A great plumber in Miami is hard to find, but look no further than Hernandez.
They are VERY professional and took care of my elderly 85 year old mother’s water heater replacement as fast as they could. I know this to be true because I called numerous other companies and they could not schedule her for at least 4 or 5 more…

Residential Drain Cleaning FAQs for Miami

Get answers to common questions about our residential services

How often should homeowners have drains professionally cleaned?
For most homes, annual professional drain cleaning is a good baseline. Homes with older plumbing, large families, or frequent drain issues may benefit from service every 6 months.
Is hydro jetting safe for residential pipes?
Hydro jetting is safe for most plumbing systems. We always inspect pipes first to ensure they can handle the pressure. Older, deteriorated pipes may need gentler methods.
What causes recurring drain clogs?
Recurring clogs often indicate deeper issues like tree root intrusion, pipe deterioration, or buildup that simple snaking can't reach. Video inspection can identify the root cause.
Can I use chemical drain cleaners?
We recommend avoiding chemical drain cleaners as they can damage pipes over time. Professional cleaning is safer and more effective for your plumbing system.
Do you work on single-family homes and condos?
Yes, we provide residential plumbing services for all types of homes including single-family houses, condos, townhomes, apartments, and duplexes throughout the Miami and Fort Lauderdale areas.
