Here’s a closer look at some of the plumbing services we offer, and how we diagnose and perform general plumbing repairs:
1. Water Leak Detection and Repair
Don’t let a hidden leak cause damage to your property! Our local Miami plumber uses advanced leak detection technology to pinpoint the source of the leak quickly and accurately. Here’s how we tackle leaks:
Identifying the Leak
We use a multi-step approach to locate leaks. First, we perform a visual inspection of your plumbing system to identify any potential problems. We then utilize advanced tools like acoustic leak detectors, which can pinpoint leaks by amplifying the sound of running water.
For leaks hidden behind walls or underground, we may use thermal imaging cameras, which can detect temperature differences caused by escaping water.
Repairing the Leak
Once we’ve identified the source of the leak, our experienced plumbers will determine the best course of action for repair. This may involve soldering a cracked pipe, replacing a damaged valve, or sealing a loose connection.
We use high-quality materials and employ proven repair techniques to ensure a long-lasting fix.
2. New Construction
We have been working in Downtown Miami and Miami Dade County to ensure flawless plumbing systems in new construction projects. Our plumbing service translates into a smooth installation process for your new build. We:
Work with Blueprints
We meticulously review blueprints to understand the planned plumbing layout for your new construction project.

Install High-Quality Products

3. Toilet Repair
A malfunctioning toilet can disrupt your entire day. Our Miami plumbers can diagnose and repair any toilet issue, from a simple clog to a running tank. Here are some common toilet problems we can fix:
Clogged Toilets
We use various methods to clear clogged toilets, depending on the severity of the clog. For simple clogs, a plunger or toilet snake may suffice. For tougher clogs, we may use a hydro jetting machine to blast away debris with a high-powered water stream.
Running Toilets
A running toilet can waste a significant amount of water. Our plumbers can identify the source of the problem, such as a faulty flapper valve or a worn-out fill valve, and replace the necessary parts to stop the running water.
Leaking Toilets
Toilet leaks can cause damage to your floors and surrounding areas. We can identify the source of the leak, be it a loose connection around the base of the toilet or a cracked tank, and make the necessary repairs to prevent further water damage.
4. Sewer and Drain Cleaning
Slow drains and clogged sewers can be a real nuisance. We offer professional drain cleaning services using hydro jetting technology. Here’s what hydro jetting entails:
High-Powered Water Stream
We use a specialized machine that blasts a high-powered stream of water through your clogged drains or sewer lines. This powerful force can clear away even the toughest clogs caused by grease, soap scum, or tree roots.
Minimally Invasive
Hydro jetting is a trenchless method, meaning it doesn’t require digging up your yard or floors to access the clog. This saves you time, money, and avoids unnecessary damage to your property.
Preventative Maintenance
Regular hydro jetting can help prevent future clogs by removing built-up debris in your pipes.
5. Leaky Faucets
A leaky faucet is a drip, drip, drip of annoyance and wasted water. Here’s how plumbing experts tackle leaky faucets:
Identifying the Leak Source
Our plumbers will first identify the source of the leak. Common culprits include worn-out washers or seals around the valve stem or cartridge.
Repairing the Leak
Depending on the severity of the leak and the type of faucet, we may attempt to repair the faucet by replacing the worn-out parts. In some cases, especially with older faucets, it may be more cost-effective to recommend replacing the entire faucet.
Preventing Future Leaks
JMK Plumbing uses high-quality parts when repairing faucets, and we can also recommend specific faucet types known for their durability to help prevent future leaks.
6. Water Heater Issues
A malfunctioning water heater can leave you with cold showers and a disrupted routine. Here’s how we handle water heater problems:
Lack of Hot Water
There could be several reasons for a lack of hot water, such as a malfunctioning thermostat, a failing heating element, or sediment buildup in the tank. Our plumbers can diagnose the problem and recommend repairs or replacements based on the severity of the issue and the age of your water heater.
Leaking Water Heater
A leaking water heater can be a serious issue and could indicate a failing tank or loose connections. We can identify the source of the leak and determine if repairs are possible or if a water heater replacement is necessary.
Water Heater Efficiency
Older water heaters may be less efficient than newer models. We can advise you on the benefits of tankless water heaters, which can provide hot water on demand and save you money on your energy bills.
