Nelson & Sons Plumbing & Heating has been serving Navarre and Santa Rosa County since 2012. That's 14 years of residential and commercial plumbing work handled by licensed plumbers who know this area, its homes, its water, and its seasons. The plumber who works on your home lives right here too. From a dripping faucet to a full repipe, from a water heater that stopped working to a sewer line backing up at midnight, we show up ready to do the job right. Call us today to get a quote or schedule service.
Whether it's a single faucet or a full repipe, we handle the full range of plumbing work that homes and commercial properties need. Drain cleaning and clog removal, leak detection and repair, water heater repair and replacement, toilet and faucet and fixture installation, sewer and main line service, repiping, gas line service, and emergency plumbing are all part of what we do every day. We work with homeowners who need a quick fix and property managers who need a reliable plumber they can count on for multiple units. Restaurants, offices, rental properties, and new construction projects all get the same careful, thorough work. If it involves your water supply, your drains, your fixtures, or your sewer line, we can handle it.
Clogged drains slow down a home or business fast. A backed-up kitchen sink, a slow shower drain, a toilet that won't flush properly, a bathtub that holds standing water after every use. We diagnose the problem first, then clear the line using the right method for the job. For stubborn or recurring blockages, hydro jetting breaks up buildup that a standard snake can't touch. For main line clogs and sewer drain issues, we work through the full line from the house to the connection point, confirm the blockage is clear, and check that flow is restored before we leave. We're ready to get your drains running again.
You shouldn't have to chase a plumber for answers, especially when there's a leak you can't find. Water leaks hide behind walls, under slabs, and underground, and in Florida's humid climate, a slow undetected leak can cause serious damage in a short amount of time. We locate the source using proper detection methods, then walk you through exactly what we found and what it takes to fix it. We keep you informed from diagnosis to final test, so you always know what's happening with your plumbing and why. Slab leak detection and repair is a common call in this area, and we handle it with the care your home deserves. Pipe leak repair, hidden leak detection, and underground line repair are all part of this work.
Plumbing a home right takes the right tools and a licensed hand, and water heater work is no exception. Whether your tank water heater is leaking, not producing enough hot water, or simply at the end of its life, we give you an honest assessment of whether repair or replacement makes more sense before any work begins. We install and repair tankless water heaters as well, which are a popular choice in this area for their efficiency and long service life. Commercial clients with high-demand hot water needs can count on us for commercial water heater installation and replacement too. Transparent pricing with no hidden fees on any plumbing job means you know the cost before we start. One call brings a plumber to your door.
We've plumbed this area long enough to know what works, and sewer and main line problems are some of the most disruptive issues a property owner can face. Sewer backups, main line clogs, cracked or collapsed sewer lines, and main water line breaks all need fast, accurate diagnosis and reliable repair. We handle sewer line repair and replacement, sewer backup repair, and main water line repair and replacement. Where trenchless methods are appropriate, we use them to limit disruption to your yard and landscaping. When a home's pipes are aging or corroding, repiping is often the right long-term answer. We handle whole-house repiping in PEX and copper, and we protect your floors and finishes while we work so your home looks the same when we leave as it did when we arrived.
One call covers a lot of ground. Toilet installation and replacement, kitchen and bathroom faucet repair and installation, shower and bathtub installation, garbage disposal installation and repair, outdoor faucet and hose bib repair, water pressure diagnostics, and shutoff valve replacement are all routine work for our team. We also handle backflow preventer installation, gas line repair and installation, sump pump installation and repair, and water filtration and softener installation for homes and businesses that want better water quality. If you have a plumbing project, a repair, or an upgrade in mind, we can likely schedule it in a single visit.
Plumbing emergencies do not wait for business hours. A burst pipe, a major leak, a sewer backup, or a water heater that fails on a Sunday night needs a real plumber, not a voicemail. We are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for emergency plumbing calls in Navarre and the surrounding communities. Same-day service is available for urgent situations, and a licensed plumber responds directly. Fast turnaround. Fair pricing. Dry results. If you have a plumbing emergency right now, call us and we'll get your water back on.
We work with every type of client in Santa Rosa County. Homeowners dealing with everyday repairs and upgrades. Landlords and rental property owners who need a plumber they can trust to handle tenant calls without drama. Property managers overseeing apartment and multi-unit properties who need reliable scheduling and clear communication. Restaurants and commercial kitchens with high-demand plumbing systems. Offices and retail spaces that need fixture work or water line service. New construction and remodel projects that need a plumber from rough-in through finish. We offer plumbing inspections for commercial clients who need documentation or a baseline assessment before a project begins. Clear communication from the first call to the final test keeps every job moving without surprises.
We've plumbed this area long enough to know what works, and one thing that works is telling customers exactly what a job will cost before we start. Call us for a quote and we'll walk through what the work involves, what parts are needed, and what the total will be. There are no hidden fees on any plumbing job. Plumbing repair costs vary by job, and we explain why so you understand what you're paying for. Whether it's a minor faucet repair or a full repiping project, the estimate we give you reflects the actual work. If something changes once we're on the job, we tell you before we proceed. We're ready to get your drains running again, your leaks repaired, and your water heater back in service at a price that was agreed on upfront.

Work is performed by licensed plumbers who know the local codes and the specific conditions that come with Gulf Coast construction, including slab foundations, sandy soil, high water tables, and hard water. We keep you informed from diagnosis to final test, and we protect your floors and finishes while we work.
Yes. We've worked on homes and commercial properties throughout Santa Rosa County long enough to recognize the problems that show up most often here: slab leaks from shifting sandy soil, sewer backups driven by the high water table and heavy rain, and water heater and fixture wear from hard Gulf Coast water. That familiarity speeds up diagnosis and leads to better long-term repairs.
Clear communication from the first call to the final test is a core part of how we work. We tell you what we found, what it costs, and what we're doing before we touch a pipe. If anything changes during the job, we tell you before we proceed.

Every job is quoted upfront, performed by licensed plumbers, and tested before we leave. The table below breaks down what each service covers, who it fits best, and a practical note to help you decide when to call.
| Plumbing Service | What the Job Covers | Best For | Things to Keep in Mind |
|---|---|---|---|
| Slab Leak Detection & Repair | pressure and acoustic detection, under-slab supply and drain lines, repair options review, post-repair testing | Navarre homeowners on concrete slab foundations with warm floor spots or a running water meter | Slab leaks are common in Santa Rosa County's concrete slab construction; early detection protects the foundation |
| Faucet & Fixture Installation | kitchen and bathroom faucets, outdoor hose bibs, sink installation, utility faucet replacement | Homeowners upgrading fixtures or dealing with a persistent drip | Replacing a worn cartridge or valve seat is often all it takes to stop a dripping faucet for good |
| Drain Cleaning & Clog Removal | drain snaking, hydro jetting, floor and shower drains, recurring slow drains | Homeowners and landlords with slow or blocked drains | Hydro jetting clears grease and root debris that snaking leaves behind, making it the better choice for recurring clogs |
| Leak Detection & Repair | pressure testing, electronic and acoustic detection, wall and under-floor leaks, supply line repair | Anyone with an unexplained spike in water bills or signs of hidden moisture | Catching a hidden leak early prevents structural damage that costs far more than the repair itself |
| Water Heater Repair & ReplacementMost Popular | tank unit repair, tank replacement, all major brands and sizes, commercial water heater service | Homeowners, landlords, and businesses dealing with no hot water or an aging tank | We stock common parts and can resolve most no-hot-water calls on the first visit |
| Tankless Water Heater Installation | new tankless unit installation, gas and water line connections, correct unit sizing, existing unit repair and replacement | Homeowners and commercial properties looking to reduce standby energy loss in a warm climate | Proper sizing is critical; an undersized unit won't keep up with demand, so we size the system before ordering |
| Repiping (PEX) | whole-house PEX repipe, galvanized pipe replacement, copper to PEX conversion, post-repipe pressure testing | Older homes with corroding galvanized lines or persistent low pressure throughout the house | PEX is flexible, corrosion-resistant, and well suited to the humid Gulf Coast environment |
| Sewer & Main Line Service | main line cleaning, sewer backup repair, camera inspection, root intrusion clearing | Properties with slow whole-house drainage or a history of sewer backups | A camera inspection shows exactly what is in the line before any digging or major work begins |
| Sewer Backup & Drain Cleaning | hydro jetting and snaking, camera line inspection, root and grease removal, commercial main drain cleaning | Gulf Coast properties with saturated soil conditions or older lines prone to backups | Heavy rainfall seasons put extra stress on residential lines; clearing the line before a storm is worth the call |
| Garbage Disposal Service | seized disposal repair, leak repair, full disposal replacement, wiring and drain reconnection | Kitchen drain problems traced to a failing or jammed disposal | Most disposals that hum but won't spin can be reset or cleared without a full replacement |
| Toilet Repair & Installation | running and leaking toilets, toilets that won't flush, new toilet installation, rough-in work for remodels | Any home or rental unit with a toilet that is wasting water or failing to flush | A running toilet can waste hundreds of gallons a month; a quick repair pays for itself fast |
| Water Pressure & Shutoff Valve Repair | pressure diagnostics, pressure regulator adjustment, shutoff valve replacement, whole-house valve service | Homes with noticeably weak flow or a valve that sticks or leaks | A sticking shutoff valve is a straightforward fix that prevents a much bigger problem in an emergency |
| Emergency Plumbing | burst pipe response, major leak control, same-day and after-hours service, sewer backup emergencies | Any situation where water is actively damaging the property or service cannot wait | We're available every day from 8:30 AM to 11:00 PM; a local plumber answers and responds directly |
How do I know if my water heater needs to be replaced or just repaired?
Age is the first factor. Tank water heaters typically last 8 to 12 years. If yours is approaching that range and showing signs like rust-colored water, rumbling sounds during heating, or inconsistent temperature, replacement is usually the better investment. Younger units with a failed element or thermostat can often be repaired on the first visit. We diagnose the unit and walk you through the options before any work begins.
What causes drains to back up repeatedly in the same fixture?
Recurring clogs in a single fixture usually point to a buildup of soap, grease, or hair in the branch line close to that drain. If multiple fixtures back up at the same time, the problem is almost always in the main sewer line. We inspect the line with a camera when the pattern suggests something deeper than a surface clog, so we know exactly what we are clearing before we start.
How are hidden leaks found without tearing out walls?
We use pressure testing to confirm a leak exists in a line and then narrow the location using acoustic and electronic detection equipment that listens for water movement through the pipe or slab. In most cases we can pinpoint the leak closely enough to open only a small area rather than a full wall or floor section. We walk you through what we found and the repair options before any work starts.
Transparent Upfront Pricing
We give you a clear quote before any work begins, and nothing starts until you have approved it. If scope changes once we are on the job, we tell you before we proceed.
What is a slab leak and why is it a concern in Navarre?
A slab leak is a break or pinhole in a supply or drain line running beneath a concrete slab foundation. Because the water has nowhere visible to go at first, it can run for weeks before you notice warm spots on the floor, a meter that keeps moving with all fixtures off, or cracks in the slab itself. Concrete slab construction is standard throughout Santa Rosa County, which makes this a common call for us. Left unaddressed, a slab leak can undermine the foundation and drive up your water bill for months.
What is the difference between a tank water heater and a tankless unit?
A tank water heater stores a set volume of hot water and keeps it warm around the clock, which means it uses energy even when no one is showering or washing dishes. A tankless unit heats water on demand and has no standby heat loss. In a warm climate like Navarre's, the energy savings from a tankless unit add up year-round. Tankless units also last longer on average, though the upfront installation cost is higher. We help you weigh the options based on your household size and hot water habits.
What causes low water pressure throughout the house?
Whole-house low pressure usually traces to a failing pressure regulator, a partially closed main shutoff valve, or corrosion buildup inside older galvanized pipes that has narrowed the flow over time. If only one fixture has weak pressure, the issue is more likely a clogged aerator or a worn cartridge in that fixture. We diagnose the cause before recommending a fix, since the right repair depends on where the restriction is.
Same-Day and Emergency Availability
We are available every day from 8:30 AM to 11:00 PM for both routine calls and urgent situations. A local plumber answers and responds directly.
How do tree roots damage a sewer line?
Roots follow moisture and naturally grow toward sewer lines, where they enter through small cracks or joint gaps and then expand inside the pipe. Over time they create a mesh that catches debris and narrows the line until flow slows or stops entirely. We inspect the line with a camera to see how far the intrusion has gone, then use hydro jetting or mechanical cutting to clear it. In cases where the pipe wall is compromised, we discuss repair or replacement options with you.
Do I need to be home when the plumber arrives?
For most jobs, yes. We need access to the affected area and your shutoff valves, and we review the diagnosis and pricing with you before any work begins. If you manage a rental property and cannot be on-site, we can coordinate with a tenant directly and follow up with you by phone on findings and cost before we proceed. We keep communication clear throughout so you are never out of the loop.
Work Performed by Licensed Plumbers
Every job, residential or commercial, is handled by licensed plumbers who know the local codes and the conditions specific to Santa Rosa County.
How does your pricing work and will the quote change once work starts?
We give you a clear price before any work begins, and nothing starts until you have reviewed and approved it. If something unexpected comes up once we are into the job, we tell you before we proceed and get your approval on any change. Transparent pricing with no hidden fees is how we have operated since 2012. You will not see charges on the invoice that were not discussed with you first.
When should I call a plumber instead of trying to fix it myself?
Swapping a faucet aerator or plunging a single drain are reasonable DIY tasks. Beyond that, the risk of making a problem worse or missing the actual cause goes up quickly. Anything involving the main water line, a sewer line, a water heater, supply pipes inside walls, or a shutoff valve that is already failing is worth a call. A plumber can often diagnose the real issue faster than a DIY attempt, and the repair cost is usually lower than fixing a second problem caused by the first attempt.
How long does a whole-house repipe take?
Most whole-house PEX repipes in a single-family home take one to two days depending on the size of the house and how accessible the existing lines are. We walk through the scope with you before scheduling so you know what to expect, including how long the water will be off during the work. We test the full system before we leave and clean up the work area when the job is done.
Every situation is a little different, so call us at (850) 961-5395 and we will give you a straight answer on what your job involves and what it will cost.
