What should I avoid putting down my garbage disposal?

You should avoid putting grease, fibrous vegetables (like celery), bones, coffee grounds, and starchy foods like pasta and rice down your garbage disposal. These items can cause serious clogs or damage your unit over time.
Do you offer maintenance services to prevent plumbing problems?

Yes! We provide plumbing maintenance services, including drain cleaning, water heater flushing, leak checks, and inspections to catch small issues before they become costly problems.
How do you find hidden plumbing leaks?

We use advanced leak detection technology, including acoustic listening devices and thermal imaging, to accurately locate hidden leaks without unnecessary damage to your walls or floors.
Can tree roots really damage my sewer lines?

Yes, tree roots are one of the most common causes of sewer line damage. They seek out moisture and can grow into tiny cracks in the pipes, eventually causing major blockages, leaks, or even pipe collapse if not addressed.
What are the signs that my sewer line might be damaged?

Signs of sewer line damage include slow drains, foul odors, soggy spots in your yard, frequent backups, and gurgling sounds from your pipes. If you notice any of these, it’s time to call MJS Plumbing Services for an inspection.
Can you help with bathroom and kitchen remodel plumbing?

Absolutely. We specialize in plumbing installations for remodeling projects, including new sinks, faucets, showers, tubs, garbage disposals, and more. We’ll make sure your plumbing is reliable, up to code, and built to last.
How do I know if my plumbing issue is an emergency?

If you’re experiencing a burst pipe, severe leak, sewer backup, no running water, or flooding, that qualifies as a plumbing emergency. It’s always better to call us — we’ll assess the situation and guide you on the next steps.
How do I know if I need a water line repair?

Signs that you may need water line repair include a sudden drop in water pressure, discolored water, soggy areas in your yard, or an unexplained spike in your water bill. We can quickly diagnose and fix any water line issue.
How can I improve my home's water quality?

Installing a professional water filtration system can dramatically improve your home's water quality. MJS Plumbing Services offers water filtration solutions that remove contaminants, soften hard water, and deliver cleaner, healthier water straight from your taps.
Do you offer free estimates?

Yes, we offer free estimates for many of our plumbing services. We'll give you a clear, upfront price before any work begins — no surprises
How often should I have my drains professionally cleaned?

It’s a good idea to have your drains professionally cleaned once a year. Regular drain maintenance helps prevent stubborn clogs, reduces buildup, and keeps your plumbing system running smoothly.
Do you install energy-efficient tankless water heaters?

Yes, we specialize in both traditional and tankless water heater installation. Tankless units are highly energy-efficient and provide hot water on demand, making them a popular choice in South Florida homes.
What is hydro jetting and when should it be used?

Hydro jetting is a powerful drain cleaning method that uses high-pressure water to blast through stubborn clogs and clean your pipes. It's ideal for major blockages caused by grease, debris, tree roots, or years of buildup.
What’s the difference between a traditional and tankless water heater?

Traditional water heaters store hot water in a tank, while tankless water heaters heat water on demand. Tankless models are more energy-efficient, take up less space, and provide an endless supply of hot water.
What causes clogged drains?

Clogged drains are typically caused by grease buildup, food scraps, hair, soap scum, and foreign objects. Regular maintenance and professional drain cleaning can help prevent future blockages.

You can schedule an appointment by calling us at (954) 907-2152 or by using our easy online booking form. We make it simple and convenient to get the plumbing help you need.
Can you detect and fix slab leaks?

Yes, MJS Plumbing Services specializes in slab leak detection and repair. We use non-invasive techniques to pinpoint leaks under concrete slabs and provide fast, effective solutions to protect your home's foundation.
When should I consider sewer line repair or replacement?

If you’re noticing frequent drain backups, slow drains throughout your home, bad odors, or soggy patches in your yard, it’s time to have your sewer line inspected. Early repairs can save you from costly full replacements later on.
Why should I hire a licensed plumber instead of doing it myself?

Hiring a licensed plumber ensures that the work is done safely, correctly, and up to code. DIY plumbing mistakes can lead to bigger problems, higher costs, and even home insurance issues if something goes wrong.
Are you licensed and insured?

Yes, absolutely! MJS Plumbing Services is fully licensed and insured to provide residential and commercial plumbing services throughout South Florida. You can trust that you're working with experienced professionals who put safety and quality first. LIC: CFC143348 BACKFLOW CERT #: 17357

How do I know if my water heater needs repair or replacement?

Signs include inconsistent hot water, strange noises, water leaks, or rusty water. If your water heater is over 8–12 years old, it may be more cost-effective to replace it. We’ll assess your situation honestly and recommend the best solution.
