For residential and commercial clients in Pensacola, Destin, Gulf Breeze, and the rest of the 850 area, Riptide Plumbing has been a fixture for over 20 years. We are your local source for professional plumbing in Navarre and the surrounding Florida communities. Our skilled plumbers put in the work to repair and replace toilets, find hidden leaks, and put an end to sewer and drain issues. When a homeowner needs a fast solution, we are available with 24/7 emergency service and free estimates.
A toilet that will not stop running. In most cases, it is a matter of a bad supply line, faulty fill valve, or a flapper that has worn out.
Low water pressure or a weak flush, which is frequently the result of hard water deposits and calcium buildup in the trap or passages.
Clogs in the bowl, closet bend, or even the sewer line. Some of these stubborn backups call for hydro jetting, a main-line machine, or the use of a closet auger.
Tanks or bases that are leaking from loose bolts, putting excess water on the floor and risking damage to the drywall and flooring.
Our Approach to a Broken or Leaking Toilet
We start with the tank: the flapper, float, shutoff, and fill valve. A simple part swap will often put an end to a running toilet.
We put the water pressure and supply to the test and look for any hard water scaling that saps the flush of its power. A camera can show us what is happening inside the trap.
If you are dealing with whole-house drain issues, we check the cleanouts and have the tools to find and fix blockages in the sewer line, be it with a snake, camera or hydro jetting.
When to Repair and When to Replace
There is no sense in overpaying for a minor fix; changing out a worn flapper or a leaking supply line is quick and cost-effective. But if the porcelain is cracked or the internal passages are caked with mineral scale, a new installation is the more prudent, long term choice. Trying to force through heavy buildup on an older fixture is a sure way to crack it or do further damage to your plumbing.
Upgrades Our Customers Opt For
Chair-height or ADA-style units for the comfort of seniors and others who like a higher seat.
Elongated bowls for better performance.
“Power-flush” or pressurized models to stave off repeat clogs with a more forceful flush.
Putting in an efficient toilet is a good way to cut down on water use and the need for future service calls in Navarre.
A Clogged Toilet: What to Do Right Away
First thing is to stop the flow of water. Do not keep flushing an overflowing or backed up toilet, it will only worsen the sewage backup.
Put the shutoff valve to work and stem the flow into the bowl and tank. Should the valve itself be at fault, our plumbers will take care of it.
In the event of an urgent leak or overflow that threatens the property, get in touch with us for emergency help. Excess water and sewage are health hazards and can mean expensive repairs to your trim and finishes.
How We Go About Clearing Clogs
Short runs and closet bends are handled with a closet auger.
If the blockage is past the bowl or flange, we may remove the toilet for a proper inspection.
Deeper stoppages that affect the entire house or sewer line warrant main-line cleaning, a camera run and hydro jetting.
Some Tips to Avoid Trouble Down the Road
Leave the “non-flushable” items and wet wipes in the trash. They are a common cause of sewer stoppages. Even “flushable wipes” should be avoided!
Keep an eye on young children and paper usage to head off clogs.
Do not put off replacing a toilet that is plagued by leaks or mineral damage; repeated repairs are not the answer.
Have a camera inspection done after a home purchase. It is the best way to be certain of the condition of your drains and sewer line and spot any slab leak risks before they become a problem.

Jeff did outstanding work. Very professional and courteous. Riptide gave a great price for new water heater replacement. Highly recommend Riptide and highly recommend Jeff.
I was very pleased with the expedited service and the knowledgeable and polite technicians. Everyone I was in contact with bent over backwards to make this a good experience.
They showed up within the time they said they would, quickly figured out what was needed, then got to work right away. They did a great job replacing my water heater connections and a broken spigot. Everything worked without any issues and they checked
inside my house to ensure nothing else was negatively affected. I would highly recommend them to anyone!
Had a blockage in our main drain line & was able to get on the schedule for a visit only 2 hours after calling on a Saturday. Chase was on time & had it taken care of pretty quick. Will definitely recommend Riptide to anyone I hear asking about plumbing services.
Riptide plumbing came through for me and my family. After calling multiple companies waiting over night waiting for someone to show up. I called riptide at 7am and they had someone to me in a few short hours. Work was done and efficient ALEC was professional and very friendly. If I could give them 100 star rating I would.
