A Fort Myers plumbing company that works on the city's oldest pipes
Fort Myers is the oldest and most established city in the area, and its plumbing shows it. Under many streets and foundations are sewer lines and supply pipes that were laid long before today's materials existed.
Sunshine Plumbing Services is a second-generation, state-certified plumbing contractor that has served Fort Myers and the rest of Lee and Collier County since 2016. We work on homes in the historic neighborhoods near the river, on suburban streets south of Colonial Boulevard and on the businesses that line the major corridors.
The owner, Mike, leads every job. Our licensed plumbers find the real cause, explain it in plain language and give you an upfront price before any work begins. Every job carries a 1-year personal guarantee on parts and service.

Common plumbing problems in Fort Myers homes
Cast iron and clay sewer lines in older homes
Many older Fort Myers homes still have cast iron or clay sewer lines. Cast iron rusts and flakes from the inside, and clay joints let tree roots in. The signs are slow drains in more than one fixture, gurgling toilets, a sewer smell in the yard or a backup in the lowest drain of the house. We start with a camera so you can see the pipe, then we explain whether sewer line repair or replacement makes sense. A sewer camera inspection is also a smart step before buying an older home.
Repeat clogs and slow drains
A drain that clogs every few months usually has a cause deeper than the sink. Grease, hair, wipes and roots all build up over time, and chemical drain cleaners can damage older pipes. Our drain cleaning clears the line and identifies why it keeps coming back.
Commercial plumbing along US-41 and Colonial
Restaurants, offices, shops and medical buildings cannot afford long plumbing downtime. Grease-laden drains, backflow devices, water heaters and restroom fixtures all need dependable service. We work to keep disruption short, and we give you an upfront price before the job starts. See our commercial plumbing services.
Beach and island homes, and storm damage
Homes on Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel and Captiva deal with salt air that corrodes valves, fittings and water heaters, and with flooding after major storms. Water heaters and outdoor lines take the worst of it. After a storm, call us before restoring power or water to damaged equipment.
