D&S Plumbing Service has been serving homes and businesses along the Gulf Coast since 1989. Our plumbers know the homes and pipes in this area, from the slab foundations common throughout Harrison County to the older supply lines in established Gulfport neighborhoods. Whether you need a leaky faucet fixed, a water heater replaced, or a full repipe, we handle it all for homeowners, landlords, property managers, and commercial clients. We're a local plumber homeowners rely on, and we're available same-day for urgent calls. Affordable rates. Flexible timing. Sound pipes.
A burst pipe, a major leak, or no hot water does not wait for a convenient time. We offer same-day service and take after-hours and weekend calls for exactly these situations. If water is going somewhere it should not, or if your building has gone cold because the water heater quit, we want to hear from you right away.
We serve both residential and commercial clients on urgent calls. A property manager dealing with a leak in a rental unit and a homeowner with a backed-up main line both get the same fast response. We're a local crew, and we answer when you call. Call and we'll get the water running right.
We cover the full range of everyday plumbing work, from a single repair to a complete installation. Here is what a visit from our team typically looks like for the most common jobs.
Slow drains and full clogs show up in kitchens, bathrooms, floor drains, and main lines. When we arrive, we assess where the blockage is sitting and clear it with the right equipment for the job. Kitchen drains clogged with grease, bathroom drains backed up with hair and soap, and main line blockages from root intrusion all get the same thorough attention. We also handle main line cleaning as part of our regular scope, not just as an emergency add-on.
We've handled everything from a dripping faucet to a full repipe, and leak detection is one of the jobs we take seriously because a small leak ignored becomes a big repair fast. We use non-invasive detection methods to locate the source before opening walls or floors. Work is performed by licensed plumbers, and we approach every job with no pressure and no gimmicks, just sound, lasting plumbing.
When the hot water runs out or stops coming altogether, we diagnose whether a repair will do the job or whether a replacement makes more sense. We work on both tank and tankless units. Tankless water heaters get their own section below because they come up frequently here on the Gulf Coast. For tank units, we handle everything from element replacements and thermostat issues to full swap-outs when the tank has reached the end of its life. We'll make your plumbing sound again.
A running toilet, a leaky faucet, or a fixture that has seen better days are all straightforward jobs we handle on a regular basis. We repair, replace, and install toilets, faucets, showerheads, supply lines, and a wide range of other fixtures. If you are renovating a bathroom or kitchen and need new fixtures roughed in and connected, we can take care of that too.
Garbage disposals that jam or fail, shutoff valves that will not close fully, and low water pressure that makes a shower miserable are all jobs we see regularly. A disposal replacement is usually a quick visit. A shutoff valve swap keeps a small problem from becoming a water emergency later. Low water pressure often points to a pressure regulator issue, a partially closed valve, or a buildup problem in the supply line, and we will track it down and fix it.
Older homes in the area sometimes have galvanized steel or polybutylene pipe that has corroded or become unreliable. When pipes fail repeatedly or water quality drops, repiping with PEX is often the right long-term answer. We walk homeowners through what the process involves before we start, including which walls or areas we will need access to and what the finished job looks like. A whole-home repipe is a bigger project, but it solves problems that individual repairs cannot.
The sewer line running from your home or building out to the city connection takes on a lot of stress over the years. Tree roots, ground movement, grease buildup, and aging pipe material all contribute to blockages and line failures. We clear, repair, and replace sewer lines and main lines, working from the building side out to the connection point.
For blockages, we use mechanical clearing and hydro jetting depending on what the line needs. For damaged or collapsed sections, we assess whether a spot repair or a full line replacement makes sense. Where conditions allow, trenchless repair methods reduce the disruption to your yard. We'll sort the plumbing and clean up after.
The Gulf Coast presents a specific set of plumbing challenges. High water tables, heavy seasonal rainfall, coastal soil movement, and the region's clay-heavy ground all put pressure on pipes and drainage systems in ways that are different from drier or colder parts of the country. These three services come up regularly in and around Gulfport because of those conditions.
Heavy rain events and storm surges push a large volume of water into the ground quickly. When the water table rises fast, sewer lines and drains that handle normal loads can back up in a hurry. A sewer backup typically announces itself with slow drains throughout the house, gurgling sounds from toilets, or sewage odors coming up from floor drains. Prompt service matters because sewage backup creates a health hazard and can damage flooring and walls.
We clear backed-up lines using the right method for the blockage. For lines that need a thorough cleaning rather than just a clearing, hydro jetting flushes the pipe walls and removes buildup that a mechanical snake leaves behind.
Slab foundations are common throughout Harrison County, and the coastal soil shifts enough over time to stress the pipes embedded in and under those slabs. A slab leak can run for a long time before it becomes obvious. Signs to watch for include warm spots on a tile or concrete floor, water bills climbing without a clear reason, damp or discolored flooring, and the sound of running water when nothing is on.
We use non-invasive detection equipment to locate the leak before any concrete is touched. As a family-run plumbing business, we take care to explain what we found and what the repair involves before work begins. Licensed plumbers handle every step of the job.
Gulf Coast homes run air conditioning for much of the year, and hot water demand stays high year-round. A tankless water heater delivers hot water on demand without keeping a large tank heated around the clock, which translates to lower energy use and a consistent supply. Tankless units also take up significantly less space than a traditional tank, which matters in tighter utility areas.
We handle the full installation, including the gas supply line or electrical supply connection and any updates to the water lines needed to support the new unit. We also service and repair existing tankless units when they develop flow, ignition, or scale buildup issues. Your pipes are in good hands with us.
We've handled everything from a dripping faucet to a full repipe, and our work spans a wide range of client types across the area.
Homeowners call us for repairs, replacements, and renovation work. Whether a single fixture needs attention or a bathroom remodel requires new rough-in plumbing, we handle both ends of that range.
Landlords and property managers need reliable response times and work that holds up between tenant turnovers. We understand the pace that rental properties require and show up when we say we will.
Commercial clients have their own set of needs, from high-demand water heater setups to gas supply lines for commercial kitchen equipment and full plumbing builds for new or renovated commercial spaces. We bring the same attention to a commercial job as we do to a residential one. Call in the morning. Flowing by afternoon. Follow-up when you need it.
We work throughout Harrison County and into the surrounding communities along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. In addition to Gulfport, we regularly serve Biloxi, Long Beach, Pass Christian, D'Iberville, Ocean Springs, Diamondhead, and Saucier. If you are nearby and unsure whether we cover your area, call and ask. Chances are good we have worked on a street near you.
Scheduling a plumber should not be complicated. We keep the process simple: call us, describe what you are dealing with, and we will give you a clear picture of what the job involves and what it will cost before we start. We believe in upfront pricing with no surprise charges after the fact.
We provide estimates you can count on, with no pressure and no gimmicks, just sound, lasting plumbing. Call for a quote and we will get you on the schedule, often the same day.
We start with pressure testing and acoustic listening equipment to locate the leak without opening concrete unnecessarily. Once we have a precise location, we explain what we found and walk you through the repair options before any work begins. Depending on what we find, the repair may be a targeted spot fix or a full reroute of the affected line.
We start with a camera inspection to see exactly where the blockage or damage is sitting in the line. From there we use mechanical clearing or hydro jetting depending on what the line needs. Hydro jetting is the right tool when buildup on the pipe walls is contributing to the problem, because it flushes the interior clean rather than just punching through the clog.
Installation includes connecting the unit to the existing gas or water supply lines, sizing the unit correctly for the home or building, and confirming proper venting. We also update the water lines if needed to support the new unit. Before we start, we walk you through what the process involves so there are no surprises.
After a repair or installation, we run the affected system and check for leaks, proper flow, and correct pressure before we pack up. For water heater replacements, we confirm the unit is firing and delivering hot water. We do not call a job done until we have confirmed it is working the way it should.
A camera inspection shows us the interior condition of the line, including blockages, root intrusion, cracks, offsets, and sections of collapsed or deteriorated pipe. We recommend it when a backup keeps recurring, when we are clearing a main line and want to understand what caused the problem, or when a property is changing hands and the buyer wants to know the condition of the sewer line.
We use pressure testing and acoustic listening equipment to narrow down the location before we open anything. That approach lets us make a precise, targeted repair rather than a wide exploratory opening. Once the source is confirmed, we explain what we found and what the repair involves before we start.
A patch makes sense when the damage is isolated, the surrounding pipe is in good condition, and the repair is likely to hold for years. When a line has widespread corrosion, repeated failures, or material that has reached the end of its service life, a full replacement is the more practical answer. We give you an honest read on which direction makes sense rather than defaulting to the bigger job.
Turn off the water supply to the affected area if you can reach the shutoff valve. If the problem is widespread, shut off the main supply to the home. Avoid using any drains or fixtures connected to a backed-up line. Do not attempt to clear a blocked sewer line yourself. Keep the area clear so we can get to work as soon as we arrive.
For most jobs, yes. We need access to the affected area, and for any work involving an estimate or unexpected findings, it helps to have someone present who can make decisions. If your situation requires a different arrangement, call us and we can talk through the options.
Clear the area around the fixture, water heater, or cleanout where the work will happen. Move stored items away from under sinks or around the water heater. If you know where your main water shutoff is, have that location ready. Beyond that, we handle the rest.
Low pressure affecting multiple fixtures at once often points to a pressure regulator that is failing, a partially closed main valve, or buildup in the supply lines. In homes with older galvanized pipe, interior corrosion can reduce the effective diameter of the pipe over time. We diagnose the cause before recommending a fix so you are not replacing parts that are not the problem.
From a single shutoff valve to a whole-home repipe, we've seen it all, and we have been handling it for Gulfport and Harrison County since 1989. That is 37 years of local plumbing work, and we are still taking calls, still showing up on time, and still doing the job right.

How do I know if my water heater needs to be repaired or replaced?
Age is the first thing we look at. A tank unit past ten to twelve years with recurring issues is usually a better candidate for replacement than repair. On a first visit we check the heating elements or burner, the anode rod condition, and whether sediment buildup is affecting performance. If a single component has failed and the rest of the unit is in reasonable shape, a repair makes sense. If the unit is old, leaking from the tank body, or causing repeated service calls, we will tell you honestly that a replacement is the better investment.
What is the difference between a tank water heater and a tankless unit?
A tank unit stores a set volume of heated water and keeps it warm around the clock, which means there is always some energy used even when no one is drawing hot water. A tankless unit heats water on demand as it flows through the unit, so there is no standby heat loss. Tankless systems are a popular upgrade along the Gulf Coast because hot water demand runs year-round here, and they typically outlast tank units. The trade-off is a higher upfront installation cost, but for most households the efficiency gain and longer service life make it worthwhile.
What causes drains to clog and back up?
In kitchen drains, the usual culprits are grease, soap, and food particles that accumulate on the pipe wall over time. In bathroom drains, hair and soap buildup are most common. Main-line clogs in older Gulfport neighborhoods often involve tree root intrusion into clay or cast-iron sewer pipe, and heavy rain events can push debris into lines that are already partially restricted. We camera-inspect the main line before clearing it so we know what we are dealing with before we start.
Same-Day and Emergency Availability
We take after-hours, weekend, and same-day calls because plumbing emergencies do not follow a schedule. When you call, you reach someone who can get a plumber moving toward your door.
How are hidden leaks found without tearing up walls or floors?
We use pressure testing to confirm a leak is present and acoustic listening equipment to narrow down its location. Acoustic tools detect the sound signature of water escaping under pressure through pipe walls, which lets us pinpoint the leak zone without opening up the whole wall or slab. Once we have a precise location, the repair is targeted rather than exploratory, which keeps the disruption to your home much smaller.
What are the signs of a slab leak?
The most common signs are a water bill that climbs without any obvious explanation, warm or wet spots on the floor, the sound of running water when everything is turned off, and low pressure at fixtures. In Gulfport, the warm humid soil conditions accelerate corrosion in copper and galvanized pipe embedded in slab foundations, so older homes are worth watching carefully. If you notice any of these signs, calling sooner rather than later protects your foundation from extended moisture exposure.
What does hydro jetting clear that a standard snake cannot?
A drain snake punches a path through a blockage but leaves buildup on the pipe wall. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the interior of the pipe, cutting through grease, mineral scale, root tendrils, and compacted debris all the way to the pipe wall. The result is a cleaner line that stays clear longer. We use hydro jetting for stubborn main-line buildup and for lines where a snake has been used repeatedly without lasting results.
Upfront Quotes With No Surprise Fees
We give you a clear estimate before any work begins and stick to it. If conditions change once we are into the job, we explain what we found before we proceed.
How do I know if a clog is in a single fixture or in the main sewer line?
If only one drain is slow or blocked, the clog is usually in the branch line serving that fixture. When multiple drains in the home are slow at the same time, or when flushing a toilet causes a gurgle in a nearby tub or sink, the blockage is most likely in the main sewer line. A main-line backup affects everything downstream of it, so it needs to be addressed before individual fixture drains will flow normally.
How does tree root intrusion damage a sewer line?
Tree roots seek out moisture, and even a small crack or a loose joint in a sewer line is enough of an entry point for fine root tendrils to work their way in. Once inside, roots grow and branch out, eventually restricting or fully blocking the line. Older clay pipe is particularly vulnerable because the joints are more likely to shift over time. Camera inspection shows exactly where roots have entered and how extensive the growth is, which tells us whether clearing the line is sufficient or whether a section of pipe needs to be repaired or replaced.
Work Performed by Licensed Plumbers
Every service call, whether it comes in at noon or late on a Friday night, is handled by licensed plumbers who know what they are looking at and how to fix it correctly.
Do I need to be home for a plumbing service visit?
For most jobs, yes, someone should be present so we can describe what we found and walk through the repair or installation with you before and after. For commercial properties where a facilities contact or property manager is available on site, that person can serve the same role. If you have a situation where access needs to be arranged differently, call us and we will work out the details.
How do estimates and pricing work?
We give you an estimate before any work begins. That means you know what the job costs before we pick up a tool. Plumbing costs vary depending on the scope, how accessible the pipes are, and what materials the job requires, and we walk through all of that with you upfront. If something unexpected turns up once we are into the work, we stop and explain what we found before proceeding. You will not see a number on the invoice that surprises you.
What should I do while waiting for a plumber to arrive for an emergency?
For a burst pipe or major leak, turn off the water supply to the affected fixture using its local shutoff valve. If you cannot reach the fixture valve or the leak is at a supply line, turn off the main water supply to the home. For a sewage backup, avoid using any drains or toilets until we arrive, since adding more flow to a blocked line makes the backup worse. Call us at (228) 591-9262 and we will give you a realistic arrival window and any additional steps specific to your situation.
