What We Like

• Trading since 1970 per its own website, with a published Florida licence, CFC1430085
• Dedicated in-house repipe crew rather than subcontracted labour, according to the company
• 4.5 from 182 reviews on its Google Business Profile, read September 27, 2026
• Covers residential and commercial work, including grease-heavy restaurant drains
• Handles both tank and tankless water heaters, so replacement options are not limited to one route

Things to Consider

• Round the clock phone cover is advertised, but standard appointments are weekdays only, so ask what an after-hours call-out costs
• Trenchless sewer lining and septic work do not appear on the published service list
• Service area is limited to Orange and Seminole Counties
• Free estimates are advertised, but the site does not publish rates, so get the price in writing after diagnosis

Repiping is the part of the business worth understanding first, because it tells you what kind of company this is. Orlando has a lot of houses built between the 1950s and the late 1980s, and that means cast iron drain lines rusting from the inside, galvanised supply that has narrowed to a trickle, and in some neighbourhoods polybutylene that insurers now ask about directly. Herrell Plumbing says it runs a dedicated repipe crew and uses FlowGuard Gold CPVC for whole house work, and that it does not hand jobs to subcontractors. For a homeowner, the practical difference is accountability. One licence number on the permit, one crew cutting the drywall, one company to call when a fitting weeps six months later.

The rest of the work is what you would expect from a long-established general plumber. Drain cleaning covers everything from a kitchen line that has been slowing for weeks to commercial sewer backups, and the company mentions clearing grease from restaurant kitchens, which is a different animal to a residential clog and needs proper cabling or jetting rather than a bottle of chemical. Gas services include line repair and new piping, which matters in Central Florida where gas ranges, pool heaters and tankless units all pull from lines that were often sized for something smaller. Water heaters are handled on both sides of the fence, Rheem tank units alongside Rinnai and Noritz tankless, so a conversation about switching to tankless should include venting, gas supply capacity and recovery rate, not just the sticker price.

Hours are the thing to read carefully. The Google profile lists 24 hours every day, and the website describes after-hours plumbers on call with standard appointments Monday to Friday, roughly 7:30 in the morning to 5 in the afternoon. Those two things are compatible, but they are not the same promise. If you call at two in the morning with water coming through a ceiling, you are in emergency territory and should ask what the call-out charge is before anyone is dispatched. Overnight and weekend rates in this market typically sit well above the weekday number, and any reputable shop will tell you plainly on the phone.

Service area is stated as Orange and Seminole Counties, with named pages for Winter Park, Maitland, Altamonte Springs, Casselberry, Oviedo, Windermere and Dr Phillips. That is a sensible spread from a Colonial Drive base. Winter Park and Maitland bring older homes with tight crawl-free slab construction, which changes how a repipe gets routed, usually overhead through the attic rather than under the floor. The newer western suburbs bring different problems, generally fixture failures, water heater replacements and pressure issues. Herrell Plumbing covers both ends of that, though a job an hour out is always going to compete for scheduling against one ten minutes away.

Who it suits: owners of established Central Florida homes who want a single company for a larger job, landlords and small commercial premises who need someone who answers the phone, and anyone who would rather hire a firm with a long trading history than the cheapest quote. Who it suits less: people shopping purely on price for a simple faucet swap, or anyone who needs trenchless sewer lining or septic work, neither of which appears on the published service list.

Before you book, ask for the written price after the diagnosis rather than a phone estimate, since the company advertises upfront pricing and you should hold it to that. Ask whether a permit is required, which it will be for repiping and most gas work in Orange County, and who pulls it. Ask what warranty covers labour separately from the manufacturer warranty on fixtures and heaters, because those two periods rarely match. And if drywall is coming out, agree in advance who patches and paints, as many plumbing contractors leave the finish work to the homeowner.

Against the alternatives, the local market splits between national franchise operations with big fleets and flat-rate books, and independents of this kind. The trade-off is usually speed of dispatch versus continuity of the person doing the work. The 4.5 rating from 182 Google reviews, read on September 27, 2026, is a solid mark for a company of this vintage, and the handful of lower scores in any sample that size are worth reading yourself before you decide.
