A slow drain, a faucet that drips at night, a water heater that takes longer to recover than it used to: none of these feel urgent until they are. A slow drain becomes a backed-up line. A weeping joint behind the wall works its way into the subfloor. A water heater that is losing efficiency is usually a few months from failing entirely. The work is easier and less expensive when it is caught early, and that is true whether the property is a family home, a rental, or a small commercial building. Gulfport Plumbing Company handles all of it for St. Martin and the surrounding area in Jackson County.
We are open every day from 7:00 AM to 9:30 PM. When you call, the job gets scoped on the phone so you know what the visit involves and what it costs before anything is scheduled. Drain cleaning, leak detection and repair, water heater replacement, sewer line service, slab leak detection, fixture installation, repiping: the full range of residential and commercial plumbing work is covered here.
Call (228) 591-9262 to get started.
The hardest part of a plumbing problem is knowing when to call, and the second hardest part is not knowing what it is going to cost before you do. When you call, we ask about the symptoms, the property type, and what you are seeing. That conversation lets us scope the job as accurately as possible before anyone shows up.
What moves a quote is what the fault turns out to be and what has to come apart to reach it. A clogged drain that clears with a snake is a different job from a main line that needs hydro jetting and a camera inspection. A leaking faucet that needs a new cartridge is a different job from a supply line that has failed inside the wall. We explain the difference on the call and confirm the price before anything is scheduled. No-pressure estimates, priced up front.
If the work reveals something that was not visible during the initial scope, we stop and explain what was found before any additional work proceeds. You are not handed a bill for work you did not agree to.
We are available every day from 7:00 AM to 9:30 PM, including weekends. Appointments are arranged on the call, and the scope and the price are both confirmed before anything is confirmed on the calendar. For urgent situations, emergency calls are answered during those hours and handled the same way: the job gets scoped on the phone, the visit gets arranged, and the work starts with everything the situation calls for.
For tenants and businesses that need to stay operational, we work around the schedule where we can. That means coordinating access with whoever is on-site, communicating clearly about what the visit involves, and leaving the property with fixtures and lines working before we go. We protect your floors and finishes while we work, and we confirm what the job covers before we start.
Property managers and landlords in St. Martin deal with a version of plumbing problems that homeowners do not. The person who noticed the issue is not the person who arranges the repair, and the person who arranges the repair is not the person who is home when the plumber arrives. That gap creates delays if it is not handled clearly from the start.
When you call to arrange a repair on a managed property, we ask who has access, what the tenant has been told, and whether the property needs to stay occupied during the work. The invoice goes to whoever is coordinating the repair. If the scope changes once the work is underway, we communicate that before proceeding, so there are no conversations to have after the fact about what was done and why.
St. Martin's residential areas include properties with longer supply runs, older construction, and utility setups that do not always match what a newer subdivision looks like. A house on a private well has a pressure tank, a pump, and a supply system that behaves differently from a municipal connection. Long runs of older pipe have more joints, more potential failure points, and sometimes no clear drawing of where things were run.
None of that makes a job impossible. It does mean the scope takes more time on the call, and that the visit may involve pressure diagnostics or a more thorough inspection before the repair path is clear. We ask the right questions upfront so the visit is prepared for what is actually there.
A whole-house repipe is not a decision that comes out of nowhere. It usually follows a pattern: a leak in one spot, then another, then a third in a different location. When the repairs keep coming and the pipe material is the common thread, replacing the system is more practical than patching it indefinitely.
Older homes in the area often have galvanized steel lines that have narrowed from mineral deposits over the years, or polybutylene pipe that has become brittle. Recurring pinhole leaks, discolored water, and pressure that keeps dropping without an obvious cause are all signs the supply lines have reached the end of their useful life. A repipe addresses the whole system rather than the next failure point.
PEX repiping is the standard approach for whole-house work. The material handles the Gulf Coast's humidity well, and the installation is less invasive than rigid pipe because it can be run through walls with fewer access points. The job is staged so that water is off for the shortest practical period each day, and the scope is confirmed in full before scheduling. Most households can remain in the property during the work, and we explain what each day of the job involves before it starts.
A shower or bath installation comes up during a remodel, a bathroom addition, or when an existing fixture has failed and replacement is the better answer. The work involves the supply lines, the drain connections, and the fixture itself. We confirm what the existing rough-in allows before committing to a fixture choice, so the installation does not run into a mismatch between what was planned and what the wall actually contains.
No hot water or water that runs hot for a few minutes and then drops off are both signs the water heater needs attention. The cause might be a failed heating element, a faulty thermostat, sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank, or a unit that has simply reached the end of its life. We diagnose the cause on the visit and explain whether repair or replacement is the more practical answer before any work begins.
A tankless water heater heats water on demand rather than keeping a full tank at temperature around the clock. For homes in this region where hot water demand runs year-round with no cold season to reduce it, that efficiency matters. Sizing the unit correctly for the household is the first step, and that is worked out on the call. We handle the water and gas line connections as part of the installation and test output before the job is done.
Hard freezes are uncommon in this part of Mississippi, but they do occur. When a pipe freezes, the immediate concern is what happens when it thaws. A pipe that has frozen and cracked will not show the damage until water starts moving again. If you suspect a frozen line, shutting off the main supply while the pipe thaws reduces the risk of a larger leak. We handle the thaw and the repair, and we check the surrounding section of pipe for damage before we leave.
We take calls from across St. Martin and the wider Jackson County area. If you are in a neighboring community, coverage extends there as well. We regularly handle work in:
If your address is not on that list, call anyway. Coverage across the county is confirmed on the call, and the same process applies regardless of where the property is located. Plenty of St. Martin jobs start with a look at the full list of plumbing services.
Not necessarily. Some lines have an underlying condition, root intrusion, a partial collapse, or a grease-coated section, that clears temporarily but restricts flow again quickly. A camera inspection after a recurring blockage identifies whether the line needs a structural repair rather than repeated cleaning. If a blockage returns soon after we cleared it, call us and we will assess what is happening.
A persistent sewer smell usually points to a dry trap, a blocked vent line, or a crack or joint failure in the drain line itself. Run water through any floor drains or infrequently used fixtures first, since a dry trap is the simplest cause and sometimes the only one.
If the smell continues after that, call (228) 591-9262 and describe where the odor is strongest and how long it has been present so we can determine whether a camera inspection or vent line check is the right next step.
Yes. We take away what we remove as part of the job. You are not left with a pile of old pipe, fittings, or a disconnected water heater sitting in the utility room. If there is an unusually large amount of material, such as a full house repipe, confirm the details when you call.
Private road access does not change what we do once we are on the property. The plumbing work is scoped and priced the same way. If there are access restrictions or gate codes, let us know when you book so the visit is not delayed.
Slab construction means supply lines run under the concrete rather than through a crawl space or basement. That makes access more involved when a line under the slab needs repair. We locate the problem accurately before any concrete is opened, which keeps the repair targeted. For widespread pipe failure in a slab home, rerouting lines through walls and ceilings is sometimes a less disruptive option than cutting the slab.
It can. If the main line or a shared drain line is partially blocked, running water from other fixtures adds to the volume trying to pass through the restriction. In a sewer backup situation, continuing to flush toilets or run sinks can cause wastewater to surface through lower fixtures. Stopping all water use until the line is cleared is the safer approach.
Yes. When you call to arrange a repair on an occupied property, we ask who has access, what the tenant has been told, and whether the work requires the water to be shut off for any part of the visit. The scope and the price are confirmed before anything is scheduled, and we communicate any changes to the scope before proceeding with additional work. The invoice goes to whoever is coordinating the repair.
Older residential construction in the area frequently has galvanized steel supply lines that have narrowed over the years, or drain lines that have shifted as the slab beneath them has moved. Slab construction is standard across this part of Jackson County, which means supply lines run under concrete rather than through a crawl space, and a leak under the slab does not always announce itself loudly. Describing the age of the property and the symptoms when you call helps us scope the job more accurately before the visit.
Call (228) 591-9262 and ask.
If the plumber's schedule has room and the second address is in the area, we can often accommodate it. The second job gets scoped and priced the same way as the first, and nothing is confirmed without your agreement on the price.

From a slow kitchen drain to a full slab leak repair, we handle the complete range of residential and commercial plumbing work across St. Martin and Jackson County. The table below breaks down what each service covers, who it fits best, and what is practical to know before you call. If a job does not fit neatly into one of these categories, call anyway and we will scope it on the phone.
| Type of Job | What the Job Covers | Best For | Things to Keep in Mind |
|---|---|---|---|
| Water Heater Repair & Replacement |
| Homes and commercial properties with no hot water, slow recovery, or an aging unit | Gulf Coast hard water accelerates sediment buildup in tank units. We diagnose on the visit and confirm whether repair or replacement is the more practical answer before any work is scheduled. |
| Drain Cleaning & Clog Removal |
| Homes or commercial kitchens with slow or stopped drains | Grease buildup and root intrusion are the most common causes in St. Martin. A camera inspection before clearing tells us what method the line actually needs. |
| Leak Detection & Repair |
| Any property with unexplained water loss, staining, or rising water bills | Finding the source accurately before opening a wall or floor saves time and avoids unnecessary damage. We confirm the location before any repair begins. |
| Repiping (PEX) |
| Older St. Martin homes with corroded galvanized lines or recurring pinhole leaks | PEX is flexible, corrosion-resistant, and well-suited to the Gulf Coast's humid conditions. The full scope is confirmed before scheduling. |
| Tankless Water Heater Installation |
| Gulf Coast homeowners replacing an aging tank unit or adding capacity | Tankless units heat water on demand, which fits year-round Gulf Coast use better than a tank that loses heat continuously. Sizing is confirmed on the call. |
| Slab Leak Detection & Repair |
| St. Martin homes on slab foundations with unexplained water loss or damp floors | Pinpointing the leak before opening concrete keeps the repair targeted. We explain repair and reroute options before any cutting begins. |
| Faucet & Fixture Installation |
| Remodels, rental unit turnovers, and fixtures that drip or fail | We leave fixtures and lines working before we go. Bring the replacement fixture or let us know the model and we confirm compatibility on the call. |
| Garbage Disposal Service |
| Kitchens with a disposal that hums, trips, or does nothing at all | A disposal that hums but does not spin usually has a seized motor or a jammed flywheel. We diagnose first and replace only if the unit cannot be cleared or reset. |
| Emergency Plumbing |
| Any situation where water is actively damaging the property or the system has failed | We are open every day from 7:00 AM to 9:30 PM. Call and describe what is happening so we can scope the job on the phone and confirm what the visit covers. |
| Sewer & Main Line Service |
| Properties with slow drains throughout the house or a sewage backup | Heavy Gulf Coast rainfall puts steady pressure on sewer lines. A backed-up main line affects every drain and fixture in the building at once. |
| Water Pressure & Shutoff Valve Repair |
| Homes with low, fluctuating, or suddenly dropped water pressure | Low pressure often points to a failing pressure regulator or a partially closed valve. We run diagnostics to confirm the cause before recommending a repair. |
| Toilet Repair & Installation |
| Homeowners, landlords, and property managers dealing with a running or failed toilet | A running toilet can waste a significant amount of water before it gets noticed. Most repairs are diagnosed and completed in a single visit. |
