When a pipe fails or a drain backs up in Melissa, the question is always the same: how soon can somebody be out? Anna Plumbing takes calls around the clock, any day of the week, and same-day service is often available when the situation cannot wait. Scheduling is straightforward. You call, describe what is going on, and we get a plumber headed your way. Routine jobs can be booked at whatever time works for you, and urgent calls move faster.
We handle residential and commercial plumbing across Melissa and the surrounding area. Homeowners dealing with a failing water heater, property managers working through a tenant repair, and business owners who need a drain cleared before the day starts all reach us the same way. Work is performed by licensed plumbers on every call, and plumbing done to the standard the next inspection expects is the baseline, not the exception.
Choosing the right plumbing fix is easier than it sounds, and the price follows the same logic. What the fault turns out to be and what has to come apart to reach it are the two things that move a quote most. A dripping faucet where the cartridge is accessible is a different scope from a leak behind a finished wall that has to be located before anything can be repaired. The parts the job requires, and the access involved, both factor in.
You get the rate on the phone before anything is scheduled. Describe what is happening, where it is, and how long it has been going on, and we work through what the visit is likely to cover. The price is confirmed before we send anyone out, and you can ask what the quote includes and get a straight answer. We stand behind every pipe and fixture we touch.
Not every call looks the same when the plumber arrives. A Melissa home built in the last ten years and a commercial property with a busy kitchen drain are going to need different things, and even two houses on the same street can present different problems once the walls are open. The service page carries the full breakdown of everything we handle. What follows is how the work actually divides up in practice.
Leak detection and fault-finding calls are where the diagnostic work happens first. A drop in water pressure, a wet spot on the ceiling, a sewer odor that will not go away. These are the calls where the plumber has to locate the source before a repair can be scoped. We use pressure testing and listening equipment to narrow down hidden leaks, including slab leaks, without opening up more than necessary. Once the source is confirmed, the repair is made and the repair pressure-tested before the job is called done.
Running toilets, dripping faucets, clogged drains, a garbage disposal that stopped working, a shutoff valve that will not fully close. These are the calls that come in every day, and they are worth addressing before a small problem turns into a larger one. Drain cleaning covers everything from a slow kitchen sink to a backed-up main line, and we match the approach to what the line actually needs. Hydro jetting clears buildup that snaking will not reach. Main line clogs get cleared all the way to the city connection.
Some calls are not emergencies at all. A water heater that has been running short, a fixture being upgraded during a bathroom remodel, a backflow preventer that needs to be brought into compliance. Planned work gets the same attention as urgent calls. We assess what is there, explain the options, confirm the price, and schedule the visit at a time that works. Whole-home repiping falls into this category too, and it is the right call when aging pipe is the reason repairs keep coming back.
If the scope is still open, our guide to plumbing work is the place to start.
When you need a plumber, the two things that matter most are whether someone picks up and how quickly they can be out. We are available any hour, any day, including nights, weekends, and holidays. There is no after-hours line and no message to leave and wait on. When a problem will not keep, call and we move.
For businesses and rental properties that need to stay operational, we work around the situation. A commercial kitchen that cannot shut down for the day, a tenant who needs advance notice, a property that has to have water restored before a certain time. We confirm the appointment window when you call and let you know what to expect before anyone shows up. Same-day service is often available for urgent calls. For planned work, we schedule at whatever time suits the property.
For residential and commercial plumbing work alike, the fixture calls are some of the most common jobs we handle. They are also the ones where the situation varies most, because what looks like a simple repair can turn out to involve the supply line or the drain connection behind it.
A new sink or vanity installation is a plumbing job as much as it is a cosmetic one. The supply connections, the drain assembly, and the shutoff valves all have to be right before the fixture is usable. We handle the plumbing side from start to finish, including the connections to existing supply lines and the drain run to the wall or floor. If the existing shutoff valves are corroded or difficult to operate, we replace those at the same time.
A tankless unit heats water on demand rather than holding a stored supply, which changes both the installation requirements and the supply line work involved. We assess the existing gas or water supply, confirm the unit is sized correctly for the household's demand, and handle the installation and connection. If the existing supply line or venting needs to be modified to suit the new unit, we address that as part of the job.
A shower that runs too hot, too cold, or will not hold a consistent temperature usually points to the mixing valve or the cartridge inside it. We identify which component has failed, source the right part for the valve model, and make the repair without opening up more wall than the job requires. If the valve itself is beyond repair, replacement is the next step, and we walk through the options before anything is scheduled.
A disposal that hums but will not turn, one that has stopped entirely, or one that is leaking at the base are all different problems with different fixes. We diagnose the unit before recommending replacement, because a jam or a tripped reset is a repair, not a new unit. When replacement is the right call, we handle the installation and confirm the drain connection is clear before the job is closed out.
No hot water is one of the calls that cannot wait. We treat it as urgent and same-day service is often available. The diagnosis starts with the water heater itself: a failed heating element, a tripped thermostat, a unit that has reached the end of its service life. Inconsistent hot water, where the supply runs out faster than it used to, often points to sediment buildup inside the tank, which is a common condition in areas with hard water. We assess the unit and explain whether a repair or a replacement makes more sense before any work begins.
Hard water is a condition across much of this region, and it affects plumbing in ways that build up slowly. Scale accumulates inside pipes, on fixture aerators, inside water heaters, and around showerheads. Over time it shortens the life of fixtures and appliances and forces the water heater to work harder than it should.
A water softener installation addresses the mineral load at the point of entry, before the water reaches any fixture in the home. We assess the water and the available space, install the right unit for the household's demand, and walk through how the system works before we leave. Water filtration beyond softening is also available where the supply has other characteristics worth addressing. Properties on a private well have additional considerations around pressure, filtration, and treatment, and we handle the plumbing side of those systems as part of the same scope of work.
We serve Melissa and the communities around it across Collin County. That includes Anna, New Hope, Weston, Princeton, and Westminster. Residential calls, commercial calls, and property management accounts across the area all reach us the same way. Whether the job is in Melissa proper or a few miles out into the county, we cover it.
We treat your home the way we would want ours treated, and that standard applies across every address we serve. Real experience. Local knowledge. Ready to plumb.
Most larger jobs, including repiping, can be worked around in stages so the property remains livable. Water is typically shut off only for the portions of the job that require it, and restored before the crew leaves for the day. We explain what to expect before the work begins so there are no gaps in the plan.
Yes. A drip that seems minor adds up on the water bill over time, and in some cases it signals a worn seat or a failing cartridge that will eventually fail completely. We handle single-fixture repairs the same way we handle larger jobs: a clear description of the work, a rate before anything is scheduled, and the repair done right the first time.
Yes. We use pressure testing and listening equipment to locate pipe runs that are not visible or documented. This is common in older properties where original drawings are not available and previous work was done without a clear record. We trace what is there before we open anything up.
In most cases, yes. Drain cleaning can often be completed while the business continues to operate, depending on which drains are being serviced and where they are located. We work around the layout of the space and let you know before the visit if any area will need to be taken out of service temporarily.
Older properties often have pipe materials, layouts, and access points that require more care than newer construction, but that does not mean the work cannot be done without a full replumb. We assess what is there, explain what the repair involves given the existing system, and work within the structure rather than defaulting to a larger scope than the job requires.
Whether a business needs to pause operations depends on the scope of the work and which systems are affected. A fixture repair or a drain cleaning rarely requires a shutdown. A main line repair or a significant pipe replacement may require isolating the water supply for part of the job. We go through that with you before anything is scheduled so you can plan accordingly.
Mature trees in established neighborhoods send roots toward moisture, and older sewer lines with cracked joints are a common entry point. We clear the intrusion, run a camera inspection to assess how much of the line is affected, and walk through repair or replacement options based on what the inspection shows. We handle the line from the house to the city connection. The tank and the drain field beyond it are a different trade.
Patching walls, floors, or ceilings after a plumbing repair is typically a separate trade from the plumbing work itself. We handle the plumbing, and we are straightforward about what the repair will require in terms of access so you can arrange any finish work that follows. We do not leave the scope of the opening larger than the job requires.
In many cases, yes. We can prioritize the work that needs to happen immediately and schedule the rest in a sequence that fits the situation. We go through that on the call and explain which parts of the job are time-sensitive and which can wait without risk of further damage.
A whole-home repipe typically addresses the supply lines that carry water to fixtures throughout the home. Drain lines are a separate system, and whether they need attention depends on their condition and material. We assess both on the visit and explain what each involves so you have a clear picture of the full scope before any work is scheduled.
We work around the tenant's availability and confirm the appointment window before anyone shows up. You do not need to be present yourself. When you call, let us know the property address, what the issue is, and how to reach the tenant, and we handle the coordination from there.

| Type of Job | What's Included | Recommended For | Things to Keep in Mind |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sewer & Main Line Service |
| Properties with slow drains throughout the home or a history of main line backups | A camera inspection shows exactly what is going on inside the line before any digging or repair begins. |
| Water Heater Repair & ReplacementMost Popular |
| Households with no hot water or a heater that is not keeping up with demand | Hard water in Collin County accelerates sediment buildup, which shortens tank life and reduces recovery speed. |
| Sump Pump Installation |
| Low-lying lots in Melissa that collect water during heavy rainfall | North Texas clay soil drains slowly, and properties that have flooded after past storms are strong candidates for a sump pump. |
| Emergency Plumbing |
| Any situation where waiting until morning is not an option | We take emergency calls any hour of any day, including weekends and holidays. Same-day service is often available. |
| Leak Detection & Repair |
| Anyone who sees water where it should not be or suspects a hidden leak | Catching a leak early usually means a smaller repair and less damage to surrounding materials. |
| Water Softener Installation |
| Homes in Collin County dealing with scale buildup, fixture staining, or shortened appliance life | North Texas water is consistently high in mineral content, and a softener protects pipes and water heaters over the long run. |
| Faucet & Fixture Installation |
| Homeowners updating fixtures or dealing with a drip that will not stop | Older shutoff valves often need replacement at the same time as a faucet, especially in homes with original plumbing. |
| Drain Cleaning & Clog Removal |
| Homeowners and property managers with slow or fully blocked drains | Hydro jetting clears grease and buildup that a standard snake pushes past rather than removes. |
| Toilet Repair & Installation |
| Homeowners dealing with a toilet that runs, leaks at the base, or will not flush cleanly | A running toilet can add a significant amount to a monthly water bill before the problem is obvious. |
| Water Pressure & Shutoff Valve Repair |
| Homes with pressure that has dropped suddenly or valves that will not fully close | A pressure regulator that is failing can cause pressure swings that stress pipes and fixtures throughout the home. |
| Whole-Home Repiping |
| Older homes with recurring leaks in multiple locations or steadily dropping pressure | Galvanized steel pipe corrodes from the inside and narrows over time. A repipe resolves the root cause rather than patching individual failures. |
| Slab Leak Detection & Repair |
| Homeowners with unexplained water bills, warm spots on floors, or moisture near the foundation | North Texas clay soil shifts with the seasons, and that movement stresses pipes running under a slab over time. |
| Well Pump Service |
| Rural and semi-rural properties in the Melissa area that rely on a private well | A well pump that cycles rapidly or delivers low pressure often points to a failing pressure tank rather than the pump itself. |
| Garbage Disposal Service |
| Kitchens where the disposal has stopped working or is leaking at the sink flange | A disposal that hums but will not spin usually needs a reset or a jam cleared rather than a full replacement. |
| Tree-Root Sewer Line Service |
| Established neighborhoods with mature trees and older sewer pipe | Catching a root intrusion early limits how much pipe is involved and keeps the repair smaller. |
