Hear from Our Customers
You need your plumbing fixed today, not next week. And you need it done right so you’re not calling someone else in six months.
That’s what we do. We show up when we say we will, diagnose the real problem, and give you an upfront price before we start. No surprises at the end. No upselling you on things you don’t need.
Most homes in Shady Hills weren’t built yesterday. Galvanized pipes, slab leaks, hard water eating away at your fixtures—these aren’t new problems, but they do require someone who knows what they’re looking at. We’ve been doing plumbing repairs in Shady Hills since 2013, and we’ve seen what happens when corners get cut. That’s not how we work.
You get clear answers, professional work, and a plumber who treats your home the way it deserves. If something’s going to take longer than expected, we tell you. If there’s a better option than what you asked for, we explain it. Honesty isn’t a marketing line here—it’s how we stay in business.
ATA’s Plumbing is a state-licensed plumbing contractor serving Shady Hills and Pasco County for over a decade. We’re BBB accredited, fully certified, and we specialize in the kind of plumbing work that older Florida homes actually need.
A lot of houses around here are 30, 40, even 50 years old. That means cast iron sewer lines, corroded galvanized pipes, and water heaters that should’ve been replaced years ago. We know how to work on them. We know what fails first, what can wait, and what needs attention now.
We’re not the cheapest option, and we’re fine with that. You’re paying for a licensed plumber who shows up on time, communicates clearly, and doesn’t leave a mess behind. We offer 10% discounts to seniors and military members because it’s the right thing to do—not because we’re trying to win you over with gimmicks.
First, you call us. You’ll talk to a real person, not a voicemail. We ask what’s going on, and we schedule a time that works for you—same day if it’s urgent.
When we arrive, we take time to actually diagnose the issue. That might mean running a camera line through your sewer to see where tree roots are pushing in. It might mean checking your water heater for sediment buildup or testing your water pressure to trace a hidden slab leak. We don’t guess.
Once we know what’s wrong, we walk you through it. You’ll see the problem if we can show you. Then we give you a price—upfront, in writing, before any work starts. If you’re good with it, we get to work. If not, no hard feelings.
After the repair, we test everything to make sure it’s working the way it should. We clean up. And if something changes or takes longer than planned, we let you know right away. That’s the process. No drama, no surprises.

We handle the full range of plumbing repairs that Shady Hills homeowners actually deal with. Water heater repair and replacement when your hot water runs out halfway through a shower. Slab leak detection and repair before it cracks your tile or warps your floors. Pipe replacement for galvanized or cast iron lines that are corroding from the inside out.
We also do sewer line repairs, including trenchless options that don’t destroy your yard. Tree root removal when roots break into your pipes looking for water. Drain cleaning that actually clears the blockage instead of just pushing it further down. And fixture repairs for leaky faucets, running toilets, or showerheads clogged with Florida’s hard water buildup.
Every job starts with a one-on-one consultation. We’re not sending a different tech every time—you work with someone who knows what they’re doing and has the license to prove it. Our CFC1431197 state certification means the work meets Florida’s standards, and our BBB accreditation means we stand behind what we do.
If you’re a senior or active military, you get 10% off. If it’s an emergency, we offer same-day service. And if you just want someone to take a look before things get worse, we’ll do that too.
It depends entirely on what needs fixing. A leaky faucet repair might run $150 to $250. A slab leak that requires breaking through concrete and re-piping could be $1,500 to $3,000 or more. Water heater replacement usually falls between $1,200 and $2,500 depending on the unit and installation complexity.
We don’t charge by the hour—we charge by the job. That means you know the price before we start, and it doesn’t change unless the scope of work changes. If we find something unexpected, we stop, explain what’s going on, and give you a new price before moving forward.
Florida’s average for plumbing work is around $309 per job, but that number doesn’t mean much without context. What matters is whether the repair is done right and whether you’re getting a fair price for the work involved. We’re transparent about both.
Galvanized pipe corrosion is at the top of the list. These pipes were common in homes built before the 1980s, and they rust from the inside out. You’ll notice low water pressure, discolored water, or pinhole leaks that seem to pop up out of nowhere.
Slab leaks are another big one. Homes built on concrete slabs—which is most of Shady Hills—have water lines running underneath. When those lines develop leaks, water pools under your foundation. You might see warm spots on your floor, hear running water when nothing’s on, or notice your water bill climbing for no reason.
Hard water damage is constant here. Florida’s groundwater is loaded with minerals that build up inside pipes, water heaters, and fixtures. Over time, that buildup restricts flow, damages appliances, and shortens the lifespan of your plumbing. And tree roots—especially from oaks and other big trees common around here—will grow right into your sewer line if there’s even a small crack.
Yes. If it’s an emergency—burst pipe, sewer backup, no hot water in the middle of winter, water pouring into your home—we do everything we can to get there the same day.
We have a 24/7 answering service, so you’re not leaving a voicemail and waiting for a callback. You talk to a real person who can assess the urgency and get you on the schedule. If we’re already booked, we’ll tell you that and give you realistic timing instead of stringing you along.
Same-day service doesn’t mean rushed work. It means we prioritize getting to you quickly and then doing the job right. Emergency or not, you still get upfront pricing, a licensed plumber, and work that’s going to hold up. We’ve been doing this since 2013, and we know the difference between fixing something fast and fixing it correctly.
That’s the question we help you answer. A lot of times, a repair is enough. A leaky valve can be replaced. A clogged drain can be cleared. A small section of damaged pipe can be cut out and re-piped without tearing up your whole house.
But if your galvanized pipes are 40 years old and you’re getting leaks in multiple spots, patching one isn’t going to stop the next three. If your water heater is 15 years old and the tank is starting to rust, a repair might buy you six months—but replacement is the smarter move.
We’ll walk you through both options. What it costs to repair. What it costs to replace. How long each solution is likely to last. Then you decide. We’re not going to push you into a bigger job if a repair makes sense, and we’re not going to bandaid something that’s going to fail again in a few months just to get you off the phone.
Yes. We hold a Florida state plumbing license—CFC1431197—which is current through August 2026. That means we’ve met the state’s requirements for training, testing, and continuing education. It also means the work we do is held to Florida’s plumbing code, which exists to keep your home safe.
We’re also BBB accredited as of 2022. That’s not just a badge—it’s a commitment to resolving complaints, operating transparently, and standing behind our work. If something goes wrong, you’re not chasing down someone who disappeared after cashing your check.
Insurance protects you and us. If something unexpected happens during a repair, you’re covered. Most unlicensed or under-the-table plumbers don’t carry it, which means any damage or liability falls on you. We’ve been doing this in Pasco County since 2013, and we do it the right way—licensed, insured, and accountable.
First, stop the water if you can. If it’s a burst pipe, shut off the main water valve—usually located near your water meter or where the line enters your house. If it’s a toilet overflow, turn the valve behind the toilet clockwise until it stops. If it’s a water heater leak, shut off the water supply to the heater and turn off the power or gas.
Then call us. We have a 24/7 answering service specifically for situations like this. You’ll talk to someone who can help you figure out next steps and get a plumber scheduled as quickly as possible.
Don’t try to DIY a major repair in the middle of a crisis. You’ll likely make it worse, and you might create a safety hazard—especially with gas lines or electrical components near water. We’ve seen too many emergency calls turn into bigger problems because someone tried to fix it themselves first. Let us handle it. That’s what we’re here for.
