When something goes wrong with the plumbing in a Waveland home, the first question is usually the same: how bad is it, and how fast can somebody get here? The second question comes right after: what is it going to cost? Gulfport Plumbing Company handles both of those on the call. We take on drain cleaning, leak detection and repair, water heater work, sewer line service, slab leak detection, fixture installation, repiping, and emergency calls across Waveland and Hancock County. You get a price before anything is scheduled. We are open every day from 7:00 AM to 9:30 PM, including weekends.
Waveland is a town where a lot of the housing stock is older, rebuilt, or a mix of both after the storms this coast has seen. Older homes mean original piping that has had decades of corrosion and stress working against it. Slab foundations are common, and the supply lines running beneath them are under constant pressure from the region's moisture and soil movement. We work on all of it: homes, rentals, and small commercial buildings. Calls are answered here, and the job gets booked properly.
Spot repairs are the right answer when the pipe system is otherwise sound. But when problems keep turning up in different locations, when the water pressure has been declining for years, or when a camera inspection shows corrosion throughout the line rather than at one fitting, repiping is the more durable answer. In homes built on slabs along this coast, original copper or galvanized steel lines have had a long time to corrode from the inside out. Discolored water at the faucet, a metallic taste, or a string of pinhole leaks in different rooms are all signs the system is failing broadly rather than at one point.
A whole-house repipe is staged to keep the disruption manageable. We scope the job on the call and confirm the full picture before scheduling. PEX is the standard replacement material for this kind of work. It handles the coastal humidity well and the installation is less invasive than rigid pipe because it can be run through existing wall cavities without opening every surface. Water is off for portions of the work, but we sequence the job so the house is not without water for the full duration where that is possible. The scope, the staging, and the price are all confirmed before work begins.
A single slow drain is usually a local blockage at or near the fixture. Hair, soap, grease, and debris accumulate over time and restrict flow before stopping it entirely. A drain snake clears most of these quickly. For drains that keep coming back, or for kitchen lines that carry grease regularly, hydro jetting uses pressurized water to flush the interior of the pipe rather than just punching through the blockage.
Low water pressure that affects the whole house rather than one fixture often points to a failing pressure reducing valve. When the regulator starts to fail, pressure can drop below a useful level or, in some cases, climb high enough to stress fixtures and joints. We diagnose the cause before recommending a replacement, because low pressure can also come from a partially closed shutoff or a hidden leak drawing pressure out of the system.
A leak that is not visible at a fixture can run for a long time before it is noticed. An unexplained rise in the water bill, a soft spot in the floor, a stain on the ceiling below a bathroom, or the sound of running water when everything is shut off are all worth investigating. We use pressure testing to isolate where the line has failed before opening any surface. Finding the location accurately first means the repair is targeted and the damage to walls and floors is kept to a minimum. We protect your floors and finishes while we work.
When a sewer or supply line under the ground is suspect, a camera inspection identifies exactly what is there before any digging begins. Root intrusion, joint separation, and pipe collapse all look different on camera, and knowing which one you are dealing with determines the repair. Trenchless methods can repair or reline a damaged underground run without excavating the full length of the pipe, which matters considerably when the line runs under a driveway, a slab, or landscaping.
Hard water is a real issue along the Gulf Coast. Scale buildup inside water heaters shortens their life. Mineral deposits narrow supply lines over time and reduce pressure. A water softener addresses both by treating the water at the point it enters the house. Whole-house filtration handles sediment, taste, and odor separately. We install both, and we size the system to the property and the water supply it is working with.
A running toilet wastes water steadily before most people notice it on a bill. A flapper, fill valve, or flush mechanism can often be repaired without replacing the unit. When the toilet itself has failed or is simply the wrong fit for the space, full replacement is straightforward. Garbage disposal installation is part of the same category: failed units, jammed motors, and new installations for sinks that did not previously have one. Gas line work covers the supply line feeding a water heater or kitchen appliance, not the appliance itself. If a gas line needs repair, extension, or a new connection run, that is plumbing work and we handle it.
A single fixture behaving badly and every fixture behaving badly are two different problems, and they point in opposite directions. A backed-up toilet or a slow bathroom sink usually means the blockage is local, somewhere between the fixture and the branch line it connects to. That is a contained problem with a contained fix.
When multiple fixtures back up at the same time, or when flushing one toilet causes another drain to gurgle, the blockage is in the main sewer line. That is the line that carries everything out of the house, and when it is blocked, nothing moves. The causes in this region are usually root intrusion, grease accumulation, or debris that has built up over time in an aging line. We camera the main line to confirm what is there, then clear it with the method the inspection calls for. Running water or flushing while a main line backup is active adds to the problem. Shutting off the water and calling is the right first step.
The price for a plumbing job depends on what the fault turns out to be and what has to come apart to reach it. A faucet cartridge replacement is a different scope from a hidden leak behind a tile wall. A main line cleaning is a different scope from a line that turns out to need relining once the camera is in. We scope the job on the call as thoroughly as the symptoms allow, and we confirm the price before anything is scheduled. No-pressure estimates, priced up front.
If the work reveals something that was not visible from the outside, we explain what was found and what the additional work involves before proceeding. You are not handed a bill for work you did not agree to. Permits are sometimes required for certain plumbing work depending on the scope and the property. We talk through what applies at your address before the job starts.
"The problem is outside the house" is something a plumber says when the issue is not in the fixtures, not in the branch lines, and not in the supply. It is in the run of pipe between the building and the point where it connects to the municipal main or the inlet to the septic tank. That section is the homeowner's responsibility, and it is the section most likely to have root intrusion, joint failure, or slow deterioration that does not announce itself until something backs up.
We handle that run. Camera inspection locates the problem. Trenchless repair or open-cut replacement addresses it, depending on what the inspection shows and what the ground conditions allow. The distinction between a problem inside the property and one under the yard matters because the repair approach is different, and so is the scope of the work.
For a Waveland home that is occupied, we confirm the scope and the timing on the call. For a rental with a tenant in place, we work around the tenant's schedule where the job allows. For a small business that has to stay open, we discuss what can be done without interrupting operations and what requires a shutdown of a fixture or a line.
Emergency calls are handled during our open hours, every day from 7:00 AM to 9:30 PM. When a problem will not keep, that is when to call. The right equipment for the job is confirmed on the call, so the first visit covers what needs to be done. Simple booking. Clear pricing. Sound, lasting pipes.
We serve Waveland and the surrounding area throughout Hancock County. If you are in Bay St. Louis, Diamondhead, Henderson Point, Kiln, or DeLisle, we cover your address. Call to confirm availability and get a quote for the work you need. Coverage is not limited to the town itself. Each service is described in more depth on the plumbing service list.
Stop using water in the building immediately. Flushing toilets or running sinks when the main sewer line is blocked pushes more water into a system with nowhere to send it. If you can locate the main shutoff, closing it limits the risk while you wait.
Then call (228) 591-9262 and describe what is happening so we can scope the job on the phone and confirm what the visit involves before we arrive.
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 blockage that clears without intervention often comes back, because the underlying cause is still there. Grease accumulation, partial root intrusion, and scale buildup all restrict flow over time and eventually block it completely. Getting the line inspected after a self-clearing blockage tells you whether the line needs cleaning or whether a more involved repair is the better answer.
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.
Yes, in practical terms. A crawl space gives direct access to supply and drain lines running beneath the floor, which makes inspection, repair, and repiping less disruptive than equivalent work in a slab home. The work itself is the same. The access route is different, and the conditions in the crawl space, moisture levels, clearance, and the condition of any existing insulation, affect how the job is approached.
The combination of high humidity, proximity to salt air, and the region's moisture levels accelerates corrosion in metal pipe, particularly in homes built before modern materials were standard. Older copper and galvanized steel lines in slab-built Waveland homes have had more working against them than the same pipes would in a drier climate. That is why recurring pinhole leaks or steadily declining pressure in an older home here are worth taking seriously rather than patching one at a time.

In most cases, yes. Individual fixtures have their own shutoff valves, and most supply line repairs can be isolated at the fixture level. If the repair is at the main line or involves a section that feeds multiple fixtures, a broader shutoff may be necessary. We confirm what needs to be off before starting and restore supply as quickly as the work allows.
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.

From a slow kitchen drain to a full slab leak repair, we handle the complete range of residential and commercial plumbing work across Waveland and Hancock 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 Waveland. 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 Waveland 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 |
| Waveland 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. |
