Call Now239-388-3631A leak under the sink, a sewer line acting up, a water heater that quits the morning you need it most — plumbing problems always seem to pick the worst possible time. I’m Mike Reynolds, owner and licensed master plumber at Plumbing Detectives LLC, and I’ve been doing this work in Venice long enough to know that the fastest fix isn’t always the right one. I find the actual cause first — camera in the pipe, thermal camera on the slab, real diagnosis — then explain what’s actually wrong before I touch anything, so the repair matches the problem instead of guessing at it.
Services
What I Handle in Venice
General plumbing repairs
residential and commercial, from routine fixture work to larger system trouble
Leak detection and slab leak repair
thermal imaging, line tracing, and acoustic listening to find the exact spot before any drywall or slab gets opened

Water softeners and filtration

Toilet, faucet, and fixture work
Some calls involve more than one thing at once — a “toilet problem” that’s actually a drainage issue, low pressure that traces back to old piping, a leak that keeps coming back because the real source was never found. That’s exactly why I lead with diagnosis on every call, not just the ones that sound complicated.

Local Context
Why Venice Plumbing Has Its Own Quirks
Southwest Florida water and housing stock create problems you don’t see everywhere. Venice-area water runs hard enough to wear on valves, fixtures, and water heaters faster than in most parts of the country. A lot of Venice homes are seasonal — owned by people who are gone for months at a time — and a system that sits unused can develop problems that don’t show up until someone’s back and running water again. Older homes in this area can still be running original cast iron drain lines or, in some build years, polybutylene supply pipe — both worth knowing about before they become a bigger problem (or an insurance issue).
I work with all of it: full-time residents, seasonal/snowbird homes, rental properties, and commercial buildings. The plumbing doesn’t care what kind of building it’s in, and neither do I.
Why Plumbing Detectives
Why Choose Plumbing Detectives
Diagnosis before price.
I run a camera, a thermal scan, or a water test before I quote a fix — not after. That's true on every service line, not just the big jobs.
Built for how your property actually gets used.
A seasonal home gets a different conversation than a full-time residence with four bathrooms and daily use. Recommendations match how the place is actually lived in, not a one-size-fits-all script.
Local knowledge that matters.
Hard water, seasonal vacancy, older piping, and coastal wear all show up differently here than they would somewhere else — and I plan for it instead of being surprised by it.
