Are You Seeing These Symptoms In Your Home?

Not all leaks are visible, so it’s important to keep an eye out for subtle signs. Here are some indicators that you may have a leak in your plumbing system:

  • Increased Water Bills: A sudden spike in your water bills without any significant change in usage is often a sign of a hidden leak.

  • Wet or Damp Areas: Unexplained wet spots on floors, walls, or ceilings can indicate a leak in your plumbing, often hidden behind walls or under floors.

  • Water Stains: Discolored patches on your walls or ceilings can result from leaking pipes that have already caused water damage.

  • Mold or Mildew: Excess moisture from leaks provides an ideal environment for mold and mildew growth, especially in areas like basements and bathrooms.

  • Sound of Running Water: If you hear the sound of running water when no fixtures are in use, it could be a sign of a hidden pipe leak somewhere in your home.

Highly recommend Formula Plumbing! We had an unexpected issue at our rental property, and their entire team was absolutely wonderful to work with. From the office staff to every technician who came out, everyone was responsive, professional, friendly, and incredibly helpful.

They truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled quickly and, most importantly, done right. It’s not always easy finding a company you feel you can trust, especially when dealing with an urgent repair from out of town, and I was so impressed with the level of service we received.

Thank you to the entire Formula Plumbing team for taking such great care of us. We will definitely be using them again!

My 29 year old daughter bought a 1989 house in Clearwater that needed several services.Her work schedule and newness of home ownership led me to help from 2 hours away. Finding a good plumber was more daunting than finding a roofer or HVAC company. We wanted 3 proposals and Formula Plumbing in Odessa was selected because of their competitive price, timeliness, and the help of Frank, a kind, calm service manager who walked us through what we needed to know. An additional challenge was not being able to access the house until after closing for them to check things out, than having a tight time schedule before she had to move out of her old place.

The work she had done was to move the washer/dryer and water heater, to install a new water heater, expansion tank, new refrigerant line for ice maker, install a garbage disposal, replace the home shut off valve and exterior hose bib, plus shut off valves for all. Formula gave her discounts to bundle all the work which helped so much. Wade was the plumber and completed the work in a day and a half.
All of these items plus replacing roof, HVAC, and electrical panel helped to lower her homeowner insurance quite a bit.
After moving in, she had some knocking. We spoke with Frank who tried to help diagnose the problem and Wade returned for a free diagnosis. It seems to be high water pressure which they thought was odd in that area of Clearwater. She received a price for a fix, however, other expenses with the home mean this will have to go on the back burner.

We are very grateful to have found Frank, Wade from Formula Plumbing and hope to not have to call them anytime soon as we hope the house is in much better shape now. We would recommend them.

Company is amazing. Saw great reviews online before calling for a quote. Wade came out quickly and gave a great price for the repair of the sewer line and work in the master bathroom. The work started immediately and the master bath was fully functional and completed before he left for the day. All the work looked great, was done quickly, and the dug up yard was cleaned up so well it looked like nothing was ever done.

From start to finish the dishwasher and garbage disposal install project went well. Shelby, Frank, and service tech, Wade all communicated well and provided exceptional customer service. They did exactly what was expected and even checked out a few other concerns while there. We will be a return customer for sure.

I was VERY pleased to discover Formula One Plumbing after an internet search for plumbers in my area indicated they could tackle the specific jobs I needed which included annual maintenance on a tankless gas water heater & laundry room piping involving gas.
Their website offers a very convenient appointment portal where you can describe what work needs to be done. The next working day, I received a text message and follow up call to discuss my needs. Considering how busy we all are, I appreciated how efficient this was. Less friction = quicker home maintenance accomplishments!

The communication is excellent on all aspects..from thorough dispatch updates, quotes, ease of texting inquiries & follow up. These measures can be rare to find in the service industry and really shows the client they respect their time and energy.

Joe was very nice, competent and experienced. He offered great advice and also included my priorities in the troubleshooting process and offered different resolutions. He, along with Jacob, were tidy (wore booties) & very polite.
Pricing was fair & reasonable & more competitive if bundled with other plumbing needs.
I will use this family business again & refer them to friends.

Thank you for incorporating modern technology to help customers while keeping a personal touch to your business. 🙌🏼 You’re balancing it well.
