Plumber in San Marco, FL
Full House Plumbing Service is a residential plumber serving San Marco, St. Nicholas, and the Southbank area of Jacksonville. San Marco's beautiful 1920s-40s homes were built with cast iron drains that are now reaching the end of a long life, and caring for them without damaging plaster walls or terrazzo floors is a specialty of ours. Message us and we will come take a look.
Plumbing in San Marco: what we actually see here
San Marco's housing was built to last — and much of it has, right down to the original cast iron drain lines installed when the neighborhood grew up around San Marco Square in the 1920s through 1940s. Cast iron has an honest service life, and a great deal of San Marco's is simply reaching the end of it at the same time. The progression is predictable: interior scale and rust catch debris, drains slow, then hairline cracks or channeling along the pipe bottom appear, and eventually a section fails outright. A camera inspection tells you where your pipes are on that curve, which matters enormously here, because replacing cast iron in a historic home is a planned project, not a snap decision, and catching it early keeps the options open.
What makes San Marco different from other cast-iron neighborhoods is what surrounds the pipe: original plaster walls, terrazzo and hardwood floors, built-ins, and period tile that cannot be casually cut open and patched. Our working rule in these homes is that access is planned as carefully as the plumbing itself — we open the smallest sections we can, in the least visible places we can, and we tell you exactly where and why before we start. The same care applies to smaller jobs, from re-seating a toilet on a terrazzo floor to replacing angle stops behind a pedestal sink that has been in place since the Roosevelt administration. Old houses deserve plumbers who like old houses.

FAQ
San Marco homeowners ask us
- Do you work on the historic homes in San Marco?
- Yes — historic homes are the heart of our San Marco work. Houses from the 1920s-40s call for a different approach: careful access through plaster and period finishes, honest assessment of original cast iron and galvanized pipe, and repairs planned around the home's character. We will walk you through exactly what we would open up and why before any work begins.
- How do I know if the cast iron drains in my San Marco house need replacing?
- The clearest signs are drains that slow down repeatedly despite cleaning, gurgling fixtures, sewer odors, and rust-colored residue backing up into tubs or showers. A camera inspection settles the question — it shows whether your cast iron has surface scale, cracks, or channeling along the bottom. From there we can tell you honestly whether cleaning, spot repair, or staged replacement makes sense.
- Can you replace pipes without destroying plaster walls or terrazzo floors?
- In most cases, yes — with planning, access openings can be kept small and placed where they matter least. We map pipe runs first, open only what the repair genuinely requires, and talk through every opening with you in advance. Some jobs do require more access than others, and we will tell you that upfront rather than surprise you mid-project.
- How much does cast iron pipe replacement cost in San Marco?
- The cost depends on how much of the line needs replacing, how deep and accessible it is, and how much finish work the access requires — plaster and terrazzo repair is a real part of the equation in San Marco. Spot repairs cost far less than whole-line replacement. We start with a camera inspection and give you a free estimate with an upfront quote, so you can plan the project on real information.
