Trusted Plumbers in Erlanger & Florence, KY

Home » Plumbing Services

If you own a home in Erlanger, Florence, or anywhere across Boone, Campbell, and Kenton counties, you already know that plumbing problems here come with their own set of complications. The clay-heavy soil that runs through Northern Kentucky shifts with every freeze and thaw, putting steady pressure on underground pipes and sewer lines year after year. The hard water from NKY’s limestone aquifer quietly builds scale inside water heaters and supply lines. And older neighborhoods throughout Erlanger, Florence, Covington, and Independence, many with homes built decades ago, are reaching the point where plumbing systems need more than just occasional attention.

Every home we walk into across Northern Kentucky has its own history – and after years of serving this community out of our Erlanger home base, we’ve seen those patterns repeat. We’re a family-owned company, not a national franchise, and that means the licensed plumber at your door already knows what your home is dealing with before the conversation starts. From a dripping faucet to a full plumbing system repair or installation, we back every job with our Happy House Seal of Approval guarantee and 6,000+ five-star reviews from your NKY neighbors. Whatever your home needs, we’re ready.

Our service tech was knowledgeable and took the time to show us what was going on with our AC unit. I was kept up to date with texts throughout the process before he arrived. He took the time to ask if we had any questions. Would highly recommend Arlinghaus!
Arlinghaus was great to get someone to my home immediately as I was dealing with a burst pipe. Mike Thomas was so kind and professional, and thorough in his work. The rates were very reasonable for the wonderful service provided. I certainly will be calling them back if I have any future issues (though I hope I don't!)
I contacted Arlinghaus to have our hot water heater replaced and water softener system installed. The two techs that came out and worked on our project, Derek Mullins and Claude Jones, were excellent! Super nice guys, kept us informed, and did a fantastic job on our house. I appreciate their professional manner and knowledge on this job and I would recommend them for future work. Thank you guys for restoring the hot water in our house and for installing our new water softener, we are so happy for these upgrades!!

Plumbing Services We Offer in Erlanger, Florence & Northern Kentucky

From routine maintenance to full system replacements, our licensed and insured team covers the full range of residential and commercial plumbing services across NKY. Here’s what we do:

Drain Cleaning & Drain Repair

Slow drains and recurring clogs are some of the most common plumbing problems NKY homeowners deal with and they rarely fix themselves. Arlinghaus uses professional drain cleaning methods, including hydro-jetting for stubborn buildup, to fully clear blockages rather than just pushing them further down the line. Northern Kentucky’s clay-heavy soil and mature tree canopy also mean tree root intrusion into sewer and drain lines is a real issue in older neighborhoods. We handle it all.

Water Heater Repair & Replacement

Whether you have a traditional tank unit or a tankless water heater, Arlinghaus handles water heater repair, installation, and full replacement. Hard water is a significant factor across NKY: mineral scale builds up inside tank water heaters over time, reducing efficiency and shortening the unit’s lifespan. Most tank water heaters last 8–12 years; tankless units tend to run longer but still benefit from regular maintenance in our area. If your water heater is aging or underperforming, our team can help you decide whether a repair or a new installation makes more sense.

Sump Pump Services

Basements and crawl spaces in Erlanger and Florence are no strangers to water intrusion, especially during the heavy spring rains NKY sees each year. Arlinghaus installs, repairs, and maintains sump pump systems, including battery-backup units that continue operating during power outages. Don’t wait until your basement is wet to find out your sump pump has failed. We can inspect and service your system before the next storm season hits.

Plumbing Repairs

Leaky faucets, running toilets, pipe repair, fixture replacements, our plumbing repair team handles the everyday issues that chip away at your home’s comfort and your water bill. We work on all types of plumbing systems and can diagnose problems quickly so repairs are done right the first time. Plumbing repairs left unaddressed tend to get worse and more expensive, so if something’s off, it’s worth a call.

Sewer Line Services

Sewer line problems are some of the most disruptive plumbing issues a homeowner can face. We provide sewer line repair and full replacement, plus video camera inspections to diagnose problems without unnecessary digging. Older neighborhoods in Erlanger and Covington often have aging sewer lines that have shifted, cracked, or been infiltrated by tree roots over the years. Catching these issues early, before you have a sewage backup, can save thousands of dollars. Our team knows these neighborhoods and what to look for.

Plumbing Installation

Remodeling a bathroom, updating a kitchen, or building new? Arlinghaus handles full plumbing installation services for NKY homes: faucets, sinks, toilets, supply lines, and complete system builds. We work alongside your project timeline to make sure the plumbing is done right before the walls go up.

Gas Line Repair & Installation

Gas line work requires a licensed plumber, and it’s not a place to cut corners. Arlinghaus provides gas line installation and repair for stoves, dryers, water heaters, fireplaces, outdoor grills, and more. We make sure all your systems are permitted and code-compliant. If you smell gas or suspect a gas line issue, call us immediately. We also handle new gas line runs for appliance upgrades and additions.

Water Softener & Water Quality Services

NKY homeowners deal with some of the hardest water in the tri-state region. The local limestone aquifer delivers water with calcium and magnesium hardness levels ranging from 120–150 mg/L; that’s high enough to visibly buildup on fixtures, shorten the life of water heaters, and affect how soap and detergent perform. Arlinghaus installs whole-home water softener systems and water filtration solutions that make a noticeable difference in your water quality and in the long-term health of your plumbing system.

Leak Detection

Not every leak announces itself. Arlinghaus uses acoustic sensors, moisture meters, and thermal imaging to locate hidden leaks inside walls, under slabs, and beneath floors, without tearing into your home unnecessarily. If your water bill has spiked or you notice unexplained moisture, a professional leak detection inspection can save you from major water damage down the road.

 

Why Northern Kentucky Homes Face Unique Plumbing Challenges

We’re not just a plumbing company that serves NKY. We live and work here. And that means we understand what makes plumbing in this area different from anywhere else. There are three factors that come up again and again in homes across Erlanger, Florence, Independence, and Covington:

  • Clay-heavy soil throughout Boone, Campbell, and Kenton counties: NKY’s clay-based ground shifts with temperature swings and holds moisture for extended periods. This movement puts stress on underground pipe joints and sewer lines over time, causing separation, misalignment, and infiltration, especially in neighborhoods with older infrastructure

     

  • Hard water from the limestone aquifer: The regional water supply runs through limestone bedrock, picking up calcium and magnesium along the way. At 120–150 mg/L of hardness, NKY water is tough on water heaters, supply lines, and fixtures. Scale builds up faster here than in areas with softer water, which is why water softener systems are so popular with local homeowners who want to protect their investment

     

  • Freeze-thaw cycles in NKY winters: Erlanger and the surrounding area sees 30 or more freeze days per year on average. That repeated freeze-thaw stress is hard on pipe connections – especially in older homes in Erlanger, Covington, and Newport where crawl space insulation has degraded over the decades. Pipes that aren’t properly protected are at real risk when temperatures dip

     

Understanding these local conditions is part of what makes Arlinghaus the right call for NKY homeowners. We don’t just fix the symptom. We understand why the problem happened in the first place.

  • Faucet Repair and Fixture Installation Services

    Faucets and fixtures are a key part of any home’s plumbing system. Over time, wear and tear can cause leaks, drips, or decreased water pressure. Our team offers faucet repair and fixture installation services for both kitchens and bathrooms. We handle everything from minor repairs to full fixture replacements, ensuring that your sinks, showers, and tubs function properly. Whether you need a single faucet repaired or an entire bathroom updated, we provide quality service that lasts.

    Check Out These Signs for when to Call Our Plumbers

    Sometimes plumbing problems are easy to spot, but other times they develop quietly. Common signs that it’s time to call a plumber include:

    • Slow-draining sinks or tubs

    • Unusual noises coming from your pipes

    • Low water pressure throughout your home

    • Water backing up in toilets, sinks, or showers

    • Visible leaks around pipes or fixtures

    • Sudden increases in your water bill without explanation

    If you notice any of these issues, it is important to address them quickly. Ignoring early warning signs can lead to more costly repairs down the line, including water damage or larger plumbing failures.

    Worried About Leaks? What to Look Out For

    Leaks can be tricky to detect, but they can cause serious damage if left untreated.  An average family with household leaks can expect to lose 100s of gallons. Watch for visible water around your pipes, dripping faucets, or damp spots on walls and ceilings. Sometimes leaks are hidden behind walls or under floors, making professional inspections essential. Our team can identify and repair leaks quickly, protecting your home and helping you avoid more extensive damage.

    Paying for Plumbing Services with Arlinghaus

    Understanding the cost of plumbing services is important for every homeowner. At Arlinghaus, we aim to provide transparent pricing and fair rates for all of our services. We discuss costs upfront and make sure there are no surprises. From simple faucet repairs to full plumbing installations, we provide clear estimates so you know exactly what to expect. This approach ensures you receive professional plumbing services that fit your budget.

    Benefits of Plumbing Inspections

    Regular plumbing inspections are key to maintaining a safe and efficient home. They help detect minor issues before they turn into major problems, extending the life of your pipes and fixtures. Inspections can identify leaks, corrosion, leaks, and other potential hazards early, saving money on emergency repairs and utility bills. Our licensed plumbers perform thorough inspections and provide detailed recommendations, helping homeowners stay proactive with their plumbing maintenance.
