Brandon FL Plumber is the local name of H.I.P. Home Service & Drain, est. 2013 and licensed and insured in Florida. Tim owns it and works as lead technician. The crew’s territory is Brandon and the east Hillsborough towns around it, from Valrico and Riverview to Plant City.
Plumbing Know-How That Starts With the Housing
Brandon is an unincorporated community about 11 miles east of downtown Tampa, and its houses tell you where to look. Census survey figures put about 42 percent of them in the 1980 to 1999 build years. The 33510 side north of SR 60 skews older: roughly 36 percent of its homes predate 1980, against about 23 percent in 33511.
That shows up on the job. Brandon Hills has original homes from 1958 to 1974, while Providence Lakes and Heather Lakes grew in the 1980s and ’90s, the years that overlap polybutylene supply pipe. We do not assume a house has it. We check.
Water matters too. Hillsborough County runs the public system for most of Brandon and adds chloramines, 3.8 ppm on average in its 2025 report. The county does not publish hardness, so we ask for a test strip reading instead of guessing a number for your heater or tankless unit.
What We Do, and What We Hand Off
The work list: emergency plumbing repairs, plumbing repairs, fixture and remodel installs, leak detection, water heater repair and replacement, PEX repiping and drain cleaning with hydro jetting. Homes and townhomes are the work. Gas lines, septic tanks, sewer excavation and irrigation are not, and we point you to a specialist for those.
What We Put in Writing
- Same-day service whenever the schedule allows, and 24/7 for real emergencies.
- A written price before work starts, honored for 30 days.
- We beat any written quote from a licensed competitor.
- A second-quote nudge on anything over about $1,500.
- 100% satisfaction guarantee. If it is not right after we leave, we come back.
Cause First, Then the Quote
A pinhole in one copper line is a repair. A third pinhole in a year, or a gauge reading above Florida’s 80 psi limit, is a different conversation, and the pressure check comes first. Our pinhole leak and pressure article explains why.
The same rule covers heaters. A worn thermostat gets repaired. A tank leaking through the shell gets replaced, and you can see where. The repair or replace guide and the cost guide put numbers on both.
Licensed & insured, on call across east Hillsborough County
A time window, a price range on the phone and a written number at the house. That is the whole pitch.

Yes. To check any plumber, us included, search the name or license number on MyFloridaLicense.com, the state’s DBPR lookup, and confirm the status reads active. Our license-check walkthrough shows what to look for.
Tim owns H.I.P. Home Service & Drain and works as lead technician. The Brandon FL Plumber name is the local face of that company, and the same crew covers the surrounding east Hillsborough towns.
Nothing. Estimates are free, written, and honored for 30 days. The one fee we flag up front is after-hours, weekend or holiday dispatch, which runs $150–$250, and you hear it on the phone before a truck leaves.
No. Gas lines, septic pumping and drainfields, sewer excavation and lining, irrigation and pool plumbing go to the right licensed specialist. If your problem turns out to be one of those, we say so rather than guess.
Yes, with a 100% satisfaction guarantee: if something is not right after we leave, we come back and make it right. We do not quote heater lifespans, because corrosion, not a calendar, decides when a tank gives up.
