A&L Premier Plumbing

Questions? We keep the answers simple.

Plumbing help for Miramar and Southwest Broward — emergency service, repairs, pricing, water heaters, drains and more.

Do you offer 24/7 emergency plumbing in Miramar and SW Broward?

Yes. A&L Premier Plumbing answers emergency calls 24 hours a day across Miramar, Pembroke Pines, Weston, Davie, Cooper City and Southwest Ranches — including burst pipes, major leaks, sewer backups and no-water situations.

If water is actively running, shut off the main valve first, then call +1 (786) 461-1276.

Is A&L Premier Plumbing licensed and insured in Florida?

Yes. We hold Florida Certified Plumbing Contractor license CFC1433523 and carry liability insurance. You can verify the license on the Florida DBPR website before any work begins.

Permits are pulled through Broward County or the city of Miramar whenever the job requires one.

Do you travel into Miami-Dade?

Yes, for scheduled projects. Water heater and tankless installations, repipes, and full-home diagnostics take us into northern Miami-Dade regularly. Same license, same crew, same pricing structure.

Small emergency calls we generally keep inside Broward so we can get there fast. Call +1 (786) 461-1276 and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right fit for your job.

How much does water heater replacement cost in Miramar?

The final cost depends on tank size, whether the unit is gas or electric, the condition of the existing connections, venting requirements and whether any part of the installation needs to be brought up to current code.

Tankless conversions can require additional gas or electrical work. Call +1 (786) 461-1276 for an estimate based on your specific setup.

Do you charge for plumbing estimates?

Estimates for replacements and planned projects — such as water heaters, repipes and fixture installations — are free. Diagnostic work such as leak detection or camera inspection may carry a service fee because it requires specialized equipment and time on site.

You get the price before work begins. No work starts until you approve it.

How do I know if I have a slab leak under my house?

Common signs include an unexplained increase in your water bill, warm spots on the floor, the sound of running water when fixtures are off, cracked tile or a musty smell near baseboards.

We use leak-detection equipment to locate the problem before unnecessary demolition is considered.

Who is responsible for the sewer line, the homeowner or the city?

As a general rule, the homeowner is responsible for the lateral line running from the property to the city main, while the municipality maintains the main sewer line itself.

A camera inspection can help determine where the blockage or damage is located. Responsibility can vary by municipality, so local utility rules should also be confirmed.

Why do my drains keep clogging even after snaking?

A drain snake can open a path through a blockage without fully removing buildup from the pipe walls. Recurring clogs can also point to grease buildup, root intrusion, damaged piping or older lines with heavy internal scaling.

A camera inspection can help identify the cause before you keep paying for temporary fixes.

What areas of Broward County do you serve?

We are based in Miramar and serve Southwest Broward, including Miramar, Pembroke Pines, Weston, Davie, Cooper City, Southwest Ranches, Hollywood and Plantation.

Main Valve

Locate your main shut-off. Closing it stops all water flow and prevents major damage.

Heater Reset

No hot water? Check the high-limit reset button on your unit before calling a tech.

Drain Clogs

Avoid harsh chemicals. A simple plunger or baking soda mix often does the trick.

🚨 Emergency?
