What Estero Express Plumbing does
Estero Express Plumbing is a dispatch line for urgent plumbing in the Village of Estero and the towns around it. A call to (239) 522-0887 reaches a person at any hour, including nights, weekends and holidays. You describe the problem, and a plumber is sent to the address.
Most calls start the same way. Water is somewhere it should not be, a drain has stopped, or the shower went cold. We handle those first, then the scheduled jobs that people book once the emergency is over, such as water heater installation or whole-house repiping.
Plumbing problems we see around Estero
A lot of Estero was built in the last 25 to 35 years. Shadow Wood in The Brooks, for example, saw its homes go up between 1998 and 2005. That age matters. Water heaters from those years are now near or past the point where a tank starts leaking, and supply lines, shutoff valves and toilet fittings have had decades of wear.
Calls we answer most often
- A meter that keeps turning with every tap off, which points to a hidden leak. Leak detection finds where.
- No hot water, or a tank leaking at the base. See water heater repair and replacement.
- A slow drain that comes back a week after a plunger fixed it. Drain cleaning clears the line instead of the symptom.
- Sewage backing up into a tub or shower, often a main line problem. See sewer line repair.
- A wet ceiling, a warm spot on the floor, or water coming up through the yard. See slab leak repair and burst pipe repair.
What to do while you wait for the plumber
The first minutes decide how much damage you get. These steps are safe for most homes and take a minute each.
- 1Shut off the waterTurn the main shutoff valve clockwise. It is often at the front of the house or near the water heater. For a single fixture, use the small valve under it.
- 2Stop the power near waterIf water is near outlets, appliances or the panel, leave that area and turn off the breaker only if you can reach it without standing in water.
- 3Open taps to drain the linesRun a cold tap on the lowest floor to relieve pressure. Leave hot taps closed if a water heater is leaking.
- 4Move what you canLift rugs, electronics and paper off the floor. Photograph the damage for your insurer before you clean up.
- 5Call and describe itTell dispatch where the water is, what you shut off, and whether anyone is hurt. Mention gas smell or sewage right away.

Call (239) 522-0887Towns and neighborhoods we serve
Dispatch covers the Village of Estero, including 33928, and works outward from there. Bonita Springs lies a short drive south, and San Carlos Park sits just north along US-41. People in Three Oaks and along the Corkscrew corridor call the same line.
Estero has two utilities. According to a Village of Estero water workshop document, Bonita Springs Utilities serves the area south of Williams Road and Lee County Utilities serves the area north of it. Your water bill shows which one is yours, and that matters when a problem could be on the utility side of the meter.
Why a clear price matters
Almost every caller asks about cost first, and that is a fair question. A burst pipe in a slab home and a clogged kitchen drain are very different jobs. We look at the problem, tell you what it is and what it will cost, and wait for your yes before starting.
If we find something else once the wall is open, we stop and explain it before adding anything. You can also compare, since the price is stated, not guessed at.
