Burst Pipe or No Water: Who Answers at Night
Superior Services runs 24/7 emergency plumbing, R.S. Andrews says its team is available 24/7, and Bluffton Plumbing Co. takes emergency calls 24/7 at an extra hourly rate. Williams Affordable Plumbing customers describe a Saturday 11 p.m. call and a Sunday water-line break answered within about 30 minutes. Ace’s Plumbing and Low Tide Plumbing keep weekday hours.
Shut off the water first, at the main valve where the line enters the house or at the meter box near the street. Most Bluffton water and sewer service comes from BJWSA, which handles breaks on its side of the meter.
Water Heaters: Repair, Replace or Go Tankless
Ace’s Plumbing installs Rheem, Rinnai and Navien water heaters, Premier Coastal Plumbing customers describe tankless units, whole-house filters and reverse-osmosis systems, and Low Tide Plumbing customers describe heaters moved out of the attic through Palmetto Electric’s water heater program. R.S. Andrews customers describe a leaking tank replaced within two hours.
An attic heater should sit in a pan with a drain line, and a tankless unit needs yearly descaling. Ask for a repair price before a replacement.
Hidden Leaks and High Water Bills
A jump in the water bill usually means a leak under the slab, in the yard line or in the irrigation. Mac & Sons Plumbing + Leak Detection uses acoustic listening, tracer gas and thermal imaging to find it, and is open Saturdays. Low Tide Plumbing specializes in leak detection and water line repair too.
Many Bluffton neighborhoods have irrigation on the same meter; turn it off first to see whether the meter still moves.
Drain Cleaning and Sewer Lines
Ace’s Plumbing does drain cleaning and sewer line work, and Williams Affordable Plumbing customers describe a major clog cleared on a Saturday evening, working with BJWSA when the problem was on the main. If several drains back up at once, the problem is the main line, not the sink.
Plumbing work inside town limits is permitted by the Town of Bluffton; outside them, by Beaufort County. For Hilton Head plumbers, see the best plumbers on Hilton Head.
