Plumber in Kendall, FL

Yes, across West Kendall, Kendale Lakes, The Hammocks and the streets near Dadeland. Shut the main first; in the 1970s and 80s subdivisions it is at the front wall or at the meter. Then call and say what the water is doing and whether the house is on septic, because a backup in the rainy season on a septic street is a saturated drain field, not a clogged pipe, and that changes who comes out. See the service page

A plumber who asks about septic before bringing a cable. On sewer streets a slow kitchen line or a main backing up into the lowest shower is a cable, then a camera if it comes back; houses that converted to sewer recently often have the new lateral tied into an old cast-iron stack, and that joint is where the trouble is. On septic streets a slow drain after rain is the tank or the field, permitted through the county health department rather than cleared with a cable. See the service page

A plumber with a camera, since the problem is street by street here. The county’s septic-to-sewer program has converted some areas and not others; a camera shows whether the backup is roots or a break in the lateral, a bad joint at the old cast-iron stack, or a drain field that has failed, and whether the fix is a plumbing permit from Miami-Dade County RER or a health department permit for the field. See the service page

Yes, and West Kendall and Kendale Lakes keep them busy: several developments were built with the grey plastic supply pipe that fails at the fittings, so a sudden leak in a wall or ceiling is the standard call. One leak is usually the first of several, and an insurer’s four-point inspection asks about the pipe by name. The fix is a repipe in PEX or CPVC, permitted through the county. See the service page

Kendall is unincorporated, so permits come from Miami-Dade County RER (Regulatory and Economic Resources), not a city hall. source

Miami-Dade Water and Sewer for water. Sewer is street by street: much of West Kendall and the areas south of Kendall Drive are still on septic and in the county's septic-to-sewer conversion program. source

Subdivisions from the 1970s and 80s (Kendale Lakes, The Hammocks, Country Walk) on slabs with copper supply lines, plus the older ranch houses near Dadeland with cast iron; townhouses share laterals and walls.

On septic, the county health department, not the building department, permits drain-field work; a plumber will say which side of that line your problem is on.

Sewer line & backups: Slow drains in July are usually a saturated drain field on the septic streets, not a clog; know which you are on before anyone cables the line. Leak detection & repair: Pinholes in 1970s copper under the slab; a warm spot on the tile and a meter that never stops. Water heater repair: Two-story houses with the heater in the garage and long hot-water runs, which is where a recirculation loop starts to make sense.
