The University area is the part of north Tampa around the University of South Florida. Plumbing problems there can ruin your day fast — a drain that will not free up, a disposal that has to come out, a toilet that needs repair or replacement, or a sewer main with a replacement decision hanging over it. Sewer Studs Plumbing & Drain handles all of it with skill, honesty, and care, and we settle what a home actually needs before any work begins.

Every home in the University area has unique plumbing needs, and we're ready for all of them. Our team delivers dependable plumbing solutions that combine years of local experience with the latest tools and technology. Whether you need repairs, replacements, or preventive maintenance, Sewer Studs has you covered.
Say goodbye to torn-up lawns and messy excavations. Our trenchless pipe lining and coating service lets us repair damaged sewer lines underground without digging. Using a durable CIPP liner, we create a new pipe inside the old one, restoring flow and sealing leaks in hours, not days. It's a clean, fast, and long-lasting solution that protects your landscaping and saves you money.
When sewer lines collapse or corrode, you need reliable sewer repair and replacement from professionals you can trust. We inspect your lines, identify the problem, and recommend the most efficient solution. Whether it's a partial repair or a complete replacement, we make sure your sewer system works like new again. Sewer main replacement is part of this page's own record: one University homeowner on this page had multiple quotes to replace the sewer main from the house and wanted responsive, professional help with that decision — that is exactly the kind of job where a clear look at the line comes before the work.
No more guesswork about what's happening underground. Our sewer camera inspections use high-definition video to show exactly what's inside your pipes. We can locate blockages, cracks, or root intrusions quickly, saving time and avoiding unnecessary digging. This service is perfect for homeowners who want clear answers before starting repairs — and before agreeing to a replacement someone else has quoted.
When regular drain cleaning won't cut it, hydro jetting is the ultimate solution. Using powerful streams of high-pressure water, we blast through years of grease, sludge, and debris buildup. It's safe for your pipes and incredibly effective for keeping your plumbing system flowing freely.
Benefits of hydro jetting include:
If your sink, shower, or toilet is draining slowly, don't wait until it backs up completely. Our professional drain cleaning service clears clogs before they become disasters. We use safe, proven techniques that protect your pipes and restore proper flow throughout your home. From hair buildup to kitchen grease, we'll get things moving again in no time. Freeing stopped drains is work this page's customers know firsthand — in one University-area household, freeing the drains on a bathtub and two sinks was part of the visit.
Older or corroded water lines can affect your home's water quality. Our potable water re-pipe service replaces old lines with modern materials that deliver clean, safe water to every faucet. It's a smart investment that protects your family's health and boosts your home's plumbing performance. A Sewer Studs re-pipe is done right — properly strapped, properly insulated, and finished with care. Plenty of companies will rush a re-pipe through in a few days; the trade-off is sloppy work you'll pay for later. We aren't the fastest — we're the best.
Hard water can cause scale buildup, dry skin, and even shorten the lifespan of your appliances. Our water softening and filtration systems eliminate those issues by removing minerals and impurities. Enjoy softer water, brighter laundry, and better-tasting drinking water throughout your home.
No one likes a cold shower. If your water heater isn't working properly, our water heater repair experts can help. We service both traditional and tankless units, fixing leaks, faulty thermostats, and other common issues fast. Our goal is simple, and it's to restore your hot water and comfort as soon as possible.
When it's time for an upgrade, trust Sewer Studs for expert water heater installation. We'll help you choose the right system for your home's size and usage, ensuring maximum energy efficiency and reliability. From gas to electric and tankless units, we install them all with precision and care.
Sometimes it's the little things that cause the biggest headaches. Whether it's a running toilet, dripping faucet, or minor leak, our small plumbing repair service takes care of it fast. We handle every job with attention to detail so small problems don't turn into major ones later. In the University area, that has meant work like removing a garbage disposal and rewiring it — the unglamorous jobs a home actually needs, done right.
Upgrading your kitchen or bathroom? Our team handles toilet, faucet installation, and fixtures with professional results. We'll help you choose stylish, efficient fixtures that fit your home and budget. From replacing old hardware to installing new sinks, we make the process simple and stress-free. Toilet work is part of that record here: a stool that is repaired first, and replaced when the repair does not hold, is the honest way to handle it — and it is how one University-area household's job went.
If you're planning a bathroom renovation, you need reliable plumbing rough-in work. Our bathroom remodel plumbing team coordinates with your contractors to ensure perfect pipe placement, water pressure, and drainage. We make sure your new bathroom looks great and works flawlessly from day one.

My friend recommended Sewer Studs plumbing company to me. I am so grateful that she did! They are so nice and respectful. Their work is excellent and they leave everything clean. They are the most honest company I have ever used. I use them for all of my plumbing needs and highly recommend them.
Came in behind a plumber whose work had to be thrown in the trash. A garbage disposal was needed to be removed and rewired, a stool repaired and drains on a bathtub and 2 sinks freed. The stool repair failed but they returned quickly and had to replace the stool. I held my breath when I saw the bill. Perfectly reasonable. Great work, great communicator, skilled , kind. I couldn't have asked for more.
Ricky and Jason were incredible. I had multiple quotes to replace our sewer main from the house. They were responsive, professional, and very helpful. This type of work is hard to find anymore, don't look anywhere else.

You'll get a firm quote before any work begins, and we stand behind it. We detest surprise change orders — a good plumber knows how to bid a job. Only in rare cases of truly unforeseen conditions hidden inside walls or underground would a price ever change, and we'd walk through it with you before doing anything.
Honestly? We're not a 24/7 operation, and we don't work weekends. We're a small crew of five plumbers, and we'd rather tell you that straight than promise round-the-clock service we can't deliver. If you've got an urgent problem during the week, call (813) 680-2284 between 8am and 5pm, Monday through Friday, and we'll do everything we can to help fast. What we lack in 24/7 availability, we make up for in honesty, integrity, and work done right.
Recurring clogs, slow drains throughout the house, gurgling, or sewage smells are the usual signs. A camera inspection shows us the exact problem and location before any digging.
In most cases, yes. Trenchless pipe lining creates a new pipe inside the old one, so your landscaping, driveway, and floors stay intact.
Yes, and it has happened here: a University-area homeowner had multiple quotes to replace the sewer main from the house and chose to get a second look before deciding. A camera inspection and a firm quote come before any replacement decision — the camera shows what the line actually looks like inside, and the firm quote puts a settled number on the work, so you are deciding from evidence instead of from competing guesses.
