Calling a plumber doesn't have to be stressful, and with Pace Plumbing Company, it won't be. We handle the full range of residential and commercial plumbing work in Pace and across Santa Rosa County, from a dripping faucet to a sewer backup to a complete repipe. Knowing where the main shutoff is helps in any plumbing emergency, and when something goes wrong beyond that, we're the call that gets things moving again. We're available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Plumbing visits scheduled without the runaround, a price confirmed before anything starts, and work that doesn't leave until the job is done. We tell you if a permit is needed. We explain repair or replace. You make the choice.

Every home's plumbing tells a different story, and the work we handle reflects that range. Some calls are straightforward: a toilet that won't stop running, a faucet with a slow drip, a garbage disposal that stopped responding. Others are more involved: a water line that's been losing pressure for weeks, aging galvanized pipe that's ready for a full repipe, or a water heater that's given up entirely. We handle all of it, for homeowners, landlords, property managers, and commercial accounts.
When you call, the scope and the price are settled on the phone before anything is scheduled. You'll know what the visit covers and what it costs before anyone shows up. Fixtures and lines left working before we go is the standard we hold every job to. Call us and the rest is handled.
Clogged drains are one of the most common calls we get, whether it's a slow sink in the kitchen, a backed-up shower, or a bathtub that won't drain at all. We clear the blockage and check the line so the problem doesn't come right back.
Toilet repair and replacement covers everything from a running toilet wasting water on your bill to a cracked base that needs a full swap. We install new toilets, replace worn-out components, and handle toilet rough-in work for remodels.
For faucets and fixtures, we repair leaks, replace worn hardware, and install new fixtures in kitchens and bathrooms. That includes under-sink plumbing, outdoor spigots, and hose bib replacement when the connection at the wall has corroded or cracked.
Leak detection and repair covers everything from a visible drip at a joint to a hidden pipe losing water inside a wall. We use pressure testing to find where the system is losing volume before anything gets opened up. Once the source is confirmed, we repair or replace the affected line.
Main water line repair, pipe replacement, and whole-house repiping are all part of what we do. Homes with older galvanized or polybutylene pipe often benefit from a full PEX repipe, which clears up chronic low pressure, discolored water, and recurring leaks in one job.
Water pressure diagnostics, shutoff valve repair and replacement, and main shutoff valve service are handled on the same call when needed. We also run gas supply line connections where the work is on the plumbing side of the appliance. Drain and pipe work is carried out to code throughout.
No hot water is one of the calls we take at any hour. We repair and replace both tank and tankless water heaters, diagnose the cause before recommending a path, and handle the full installation when a replacement is the right move.
Garbage disposal repair, installation, and replacement are straightforward jobs we handle as part of a kitchen plumbing visit or on their own. We also install and service sump pumps, backflow preventers, water softeners, and whole-house water filtration systems.
Staying ahead of plumbing problems keeps your home dry, but when something fails without warning, you need a call answered and a plan in place fast. We take emergency calls at any hour, any day of the week, including weekends and holidays. There's no after-hours barrier because there are no after-hours for us.
Emergency scenarios we handle include sewage backups, no water pressure, overflowing toilets, major leaks, and no hot water. These aren't situations where waiting until Monday makes sense, and we don't ask you to. Plumbing done to the standard the next inspection expects applies to emergency work just as much as a scheduled job. We trace the leak. We fix the line. We restore the flow.
Call (850) 961-5395 any time, day or night.
Keeping a home dry starts with the pipes behind the walls, and in Pace and the surrounding area, the conditions those pipes work in are specific. Florida's sandy soil shifts under slab foundations. The water table sits high, especially after heavy rain. Warm, humid conditions year-round accelerate corrosion and buildup inside lines. The limestone geology along the Gulf Coast produces hard water that shortens the life of water heaters and fixtures. These aren't abstract concerns. They show up in the calls coming in from across Santa Rosa County.
Pace's warm, humid climate keeps organic buildup active in drain lines year-round. Heavy rainfall pushes groundwater toward sewer connections, and aging infrastructure in parts of the area means some lines are already working harder than they should be.
When a main drain clogs or a sewer line backs up, we camera the line to find the blockage before we start. For stubborn buildup, hydro jetting clears the line with high-pressure water rather than just punching a hole through the clog. We repair and replace sewer lines where the pipe itself is the problem, whether that's a section that's cracked, root-damaged, or collapsed. A service call starts with the cause confirmed, not a guess.
Most homes in Pace are built on slab-on-grade foundations. That puts pressurized water lines directly under the concrete, and when the sandy soil beneath the slab shifts, those lines take the stress. A slab leak can run for weeks before it shows up as a wet floor or a water bill that's suddenly much higher.
We use pressure testing and electronic detection methods to locate the leak without unnecessary demolition. Once we've confirmed the location, repair options include a spot repair at the break or rerouting the line through the wall or attic to avoid the slab entirely. We tell you if a permit is needed. We explain repair or replace. You make the choice. We'll get the job plumbed and finished.
Florida's year-round warm climate means hot water demand stays consistent through every season, and a tankless unit handles that demand without keeping 40 or 50 gallons heated around the clock. For homes in Pace dealing with hard water and high usage, tankless water heaters also tend to be easier to maintain and service over time.
Installation involves connecting the unit to the existing gas line or water supply, handling venting where required, and confirming the system meets current code before we leave. When an existing water heater is failing, we walk through the repair-versus-replace question on the call so you're not making that decision under pressure. All drain and pipe work carried out to code is the standard on every water heater job we do.
Calling a plumber doesn't have to be stressful, whether you're a homeowner dealing with a bathroom leak or a property manager coordinating repairs across multiple units. We handle residential plumbing for homeowners, new fixture hookups, kitchen and bathroom plumbing, and full rough-in work for renovations and additions. For commercial accounts, we work with office buildings, rental properties, apartment complexes, and multi-unit buildings where scheduling and scope matter as much as the repair itself.
New construction and remodel work is part of what we do as well, from plumbing rough-in on a new build to fixture installation on a full kitchen remodel.
We serve Pace and the surrounding communities throughout Santa Rosa County, including Milton, Bagdad, Navarre, Gulf Breeze, Jay, and Midway. Call and we'll get your water back on.
Pricing is straightforward and explained before anything is scheduled. When you call, we scope the job on the phone and confirm the rate before a visit is set. You'll know what the work involves and what it costs before anything starts. There's no ambiguity about what the call covers.
We take short-notice plumbing calls and can schedule around evenings, weekends, and holidays for both routine and emergency work. Whether you're asking about drain cleaning cost, water heater replacement, or sewer line repair, the answer starts with a call. We'll quote the job and you'll have the number before you commit to anything. We'll get the job plumbed and finished.
Slab leak detection starts with pressure testing to confirm the system is losing volume and to narrow down where the loss is coming from. Electronic detection methods then locate the source without opening the slab unnecessarily. Once the leak is found, we explain the repair options, including a spot repair at the break or rerouting the line through the wall or attic, before any work begins.
Most homes in the Pace area are built on slab-on-grade foundations, which puts pressurized supply lines directly under the concrete. The sandy soil beneath those slabs shifts over time, putting stress on the lines at bends and joints. A leak can run for weeks before it shows up as a warm spot on the floor or a water bill that has jumped unexpectedly.
Installation covers connecting the unit to the existing gas line or water supply, handling any venting the unit requires, and confirming the system meets current code before we leave. We size the unit for the home's actual demand on the call before the visit is scheduled. All drain and pipe work is carried out to code throughout.
A unit that is losing efficiency, taking much longer to recover, producing discolored water, or leaking at the tank itself is usually a replacement candidate rather than a repair. A unit that has stopped working entirely but is otherwise in reasonable condition may be repairable, depending on what failed. We diagnose the cause before recommending a direction, and the decision is yours to make with the full picture in front of you.
A deteriorating tank can introduce sediment and rust into the supply lines, which accelerates wear on fixtures and valves throughout the house. It can also cause pressure fluctuations as the unit struggles to maintain consistent output. Replacing a failing water heater often improves fixture performance and water quality across the whole system.
A repipe makes sense when pinhole leaks are showing up in multiple locations, when water pressure has dropped noticeably throughout the house, or when the pipe material itself has reached the end of its useful life. Older galvanized or polybutylene pipe in Pace-area homes often reaches that point after years of exposure to the local water chemistry. A partial repipe addresses the worst sections. A full repipe clears the problem from the supply side entirely.
Older homes in the area were often plumbed with galvanized steel or polybutylene pipe, both of which corrode or degrade from the inside over time. Hard water from the local limestone geology accelerates mineral buildup inside the lines, narrowing the flow path and reducing pressure at the fixtures. Recurring leaks in multiple locations are a sign the pipe material itself is the issue rather than any single joint or fitting.
Whole-house low pressure usually points to a failing pressure regulator, significant buildup inside the supply lines, or a partially closed shutoff valve somewhere in the system. We trace the pressure drop to its source before recommending a fix, since the repair is different depending on where the problem is. Shutoff valve replacement, pressure regulator replacement, and line clearing are all handled as part of that diagnostic.
Common signs include water stains on ceilings or walls with no obvious source, a mildew smell in a room that stays dry on the surface, and a water bill that has increased without any change in usage. Warm or soft spots on a concrete floor can also indicate a supply line leaking beneath the slab. If any of these show up, call before the damage spreads further into the surrounding structure.
Clear out under-sink cabinets so the supply lines and drain connections are accessible. Move anything stored in front of the water heater or around the main shutoff valve. If the work involves a bathroom, clear the vanity area and make sure there is room to work around the toilet and tub without moving through a cluttered space.
A straightforward repair like a faucet replacement or toilet swap usually takes less than an hour once the plumber is on site. Drain cleaning, leak detection, and water heater replacement typically run one to two hours depending on what the inspection finds. A slab leak repair or a repipe is a longer job, and the timeline is confirmed on the call when the scope is set.
We run water through the repaired or replaced lines, check for leaks at every connection point, and confirm pressure is consistent before closing up the work area. For drain work, we verify the line is clear and flowing properly. The job is not considered done until the system is confirmed working.
We explain what the replacement involves, what it costs, and what the finished installation will look like before any work starts. For a water heater, that includes confirming the unit size and type that fits the home's demand. For a pipe replacement or repipe, it includes explaining what sections will be accessed and how the work area will be left when the job is complete.
Pace Plumbing Company is available around the clock for the full range of residential and commercial plumbing work in Pace and across Santa Rosa County. One call gets you a quote, a scope, and a scheduled visit. We tell you if a permit is needed. We explain repair or replace. You make the choice.

What are the signs that a drain clog is in the main line rather than a single fixture?
When only one fixture is slow, the clog is usually local to that drain. When multiple fixtures back up at the same time, or when flushing a toilet causes water to bubble up in the tub or sink, the blockage is most likely in the main line. That distinction matters because the approach is different. A localized clog clears at the fixture. A main line backup requires accessing the line further down and often involves a camera inspection to find out what is causing the restriction.
What does hydro jetting clear that a standard drain snake cannot?
A snake punches a hole through a clog and gets the drain moving again, but it leaves buildup on the pipe walls. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the interior of the line, clearing grease, mineral scale, and compacted debris from the walls rather than just the center of the pipe. For drains that clog repeatedly despite regular snaking, hydro jetting addresses the accumulation that keeps causing the problem.
How do tree roots get into a sewer line, and what does the repair involve?
Roots follow moisture and will work their way into a sewer line through any small crack or loose joint. Once inside, they grow and eventually block the line or cause it to collapse. We camera the line to confirm root intrusion before starting, then clear the roots and assess the pipe condition. If the pipe itself is cracked or structurally compromised, repair or replacement of the affected section is the right call rather than just clearing the roots.
Cause Found Before Anything Is Replaced
We pressure test, camera, and diagnose before recommending a repair path. You get a clear explanation of what is wrong and what fixing it involves before any work begins.
What is the difference between a tank water heater and a tankless unit?
A tank water heater keeps a set volume of water heated around the clock, which means energy is used whether hot water is being drawn or not. A tankless unit heats water on demand as it flows through the unit, so there is no stored volume and no standby heat loss. For homes in Pace with consistent year-round hot water demand, a tankless unit can handle the load efficiently. Hard water from local limestone geology affects both types, but tankless units are generally easier to service and descale over time.
What causes a faucet or fixture to drip even after it has been turned off?
A dripping faucet is almost always a worn internal component. In a traditional faucet that is a rubber washer or O-ring that has degraded and no longer seals properly when the handle is closed. In a cartridge or ball-type faucet it is usually the cartridge or ball assembly. The fix is replacing the worn part, which stops the drip and the water waste that comes with it. If the faucet itself is old or corroded, replacement is often the more practical path.
How do we handle a running or leaking toilet?
A toilet that runs continuously is usually a flapper that is not seating properly, a fill valve that is not shutting off, or a float set too high. These are internal components that can be replaced without touching the bowl or the rough-in. A toilet leaking at the base is a different issue, typically a failed wax ring seal, and requires pulling the toilet to reseat and reseal it. We diagnose which problem is present before recommending a repair or a full replacement.
Emergency Leaks and Backups Handled
We take calls at any hour, any day of the week. There are no after-hours barriers, and emergency work is held to the same code standard as any scheduled job.
When does a DIY plumbing repair make sense, and when should you call?
Replacing a showerhead, swapping a toilet flapper, or tightening a supply line connection under a sink are reasonable tasks for a careful homeowner with the right parts. Anything involving the main shutoff valve, supply lines inside the wall, the water heater, or the sewer line is a different situation. A mistake on any of those can cause water damage, code violations, or a repair that costs significantly more than the original job. If the scope is unclear or the water cannot be shut off cleanly, calling is the right move.
How is a sump pump failure recognized before a backup happens?
A sump pump that runs continuously, makes unusual grinding or rattling sounds, or fails to turn on when water enters the pit is showing signs of a problem. A pump that has not cycled in a long time may have a stuck float switch. In Santa Rosa County, where the water table rises quickly after heavy rain, a sump pump that is not working reliably is a real risk. Testing the pump by pouring water into the pit is a straightforward check. If it does not respond, a call before the next storm is the right move.
Older and Newer Plumbing Both Handled
From aging galvanized pipe in older Pace homes to new fixture installation in a recent build, we handle the full range of residential and commercial plumbing without skipping a step on either end.
How is the price for a plumbing job determined?
We scope the job on the call and confirm the rate before a visit is scheduled. You know what the work involves and what it costs before anyone shows up. The price is based on what the job actually requires, and any additional findings once the work is open are explained before anything extra is done. There is no ambiguity about what the call covers.
Does plumbing work in Pace require a permit, and how is that handled?
Some plumbing jobs require a permit and some do not. It depends on the scope of the work, the type of repair or installation, and whether it involves the main line or structural changes to the system. We tell you if a permit is needed before the job starts, and we explain what that means for the timeline. Drain and pipe work is carried out to code throughout, so the finished installation meets what the next inspection expects.
How long does a full PEX repipe typically take?
A whole-house repipe is usually a one-to-two day job depending on the size of the home and how the existing pipe is routed. Partial repiping of a problem section takes less time. The scope and timeline are confirmed on the call before the visit is scheduled. Water is restored before we leave, and all work is confirmed to code before the job is considered complete.
Call (850) 961-5395 and we will scope the job, confirm the price, and get the work on the schedule.
