“Chris Carr was absolutely amazing! My pipes had roots in them built up real bad and I was hoping we wouldn’t have to replace anything and him and his assistant and supervisor kicked ass and got my clean out taken care of and even gave us great tips to keep up on preventative care as well. He was very informative, fun to talk with and extremely personable, and even took care to clean up after the job super well! We’ll definitely be using them in the future!”

“This was our second time using Five Star Home Care in Xenia, and they were just as great as the first. We had a clogged shower drain on a Sunday and were surprised to book an appointment that same morning! James Ashley, our technician, was professional, polite, and efficient. He cleared the drain, checked our pipes, and left the area spotless. Big thanks to Alexis for her help setting everything up. Highly recommend James and the Five Star team!”

“Chris did an amazing job! Our system was badly backed up just days after our home warranty expired. He and two other techs worked nearly 10 hours yesterday and Chris returned today for two more. What should’ve cost nearly $1,000 was cut in half thanks to the team’s generosity—and Chris’s hard work likely saved us from an $8,000 repair. Reminder: stay on top of roots in your lines—they can get out of control fast!”

Signs You Need a Plumber

Slow Drains: Water sitting in your sink, tub, or shower for several minutes after use means there’s a clog forming.
Gurgling Sounds: If you’re hearing gurgling from drains or toilets, it means there’s trapped air in your pipes; usually a sign of a blockage.
Water Stains: Any discoloration on your walls, ceilings, or floors means water damage. The longer you wait to address it, the worse the problem gets.
Unpleasant Odors: Sewer smells coming from your drains or yard mean there’s a sewer line issue.
Higher Water Bills: Notice a sudden spike in your monthly water bill? There’s probably a leak somewhere in your plumbing system.
No Hot Water: If you’re forced to take cold showers because you’re not getting any hot water, you need a water heater repair or replacement.

Here’s what to expect when you call Five Star Home Services for plumbing in Dayton.

Call to Schedule: Contact us, and we’ll book a same-day appointment. For emergencies, we get to you as fast as possible, often within an hour.
Diagnosis and Assessment: Our licensed plumber checks out your plumbing system, pinpoints the problem, and tells you what’s going on.

Testing and Walkthrough: Once we’re done, we test everything so it works perfectly. We’ll show you what we did and why.

Dayton Plumbing FAQs

You’ve got plumbing questions? We’ve got answers!

We’ve answered some of the most common plumbing questions below so you’ll know what to expect, when to call a pro, and how Five Star Home Services can help keep your water flowing smoothly.

Plumbing costs depend on the type of repair. For something minor, like a clogged toilet or drain, it’ll be around $60 to $250. A bigger project, like installing a water heater and repairing a sewer line, ranges from $1,000 to $4,000. Again, it depends on the scope of work, damage, and more. We’ll be up front with you about costs and give you a price breakdown, so you’re part of the process.

Dayton’s water comes from limestone aquifers in the Miami Valley. This limestone naturally releases calcium and magnesium into the water, making our water harder. Harder water causes more scale buildup in pipes, and a lot of homes built pre-1960 (like in the Oregon Historic District, St. Anne’s Hill, and Dayton View) still have the original plumbing that needs replacing.

Yes! We offer 24/7 emergency plumbing for burst pipes, major leaks, sewer backups, and other urgent issues. Our emergency plumbers respond fast to minimize water damage and get your plumbing back in working order.

Sure thing! We offer drain cleaning, hydro jetting, sewer line repair, trenchless sewer line replacement, and camera inspections to find and fix problems quickly—with minimal disruption to your property.

Yes. Our certified plumbers work with all major brands of faucets, toilets, water heaters, pumps, and water treatment systems across Dayton.

Common Reasons Dayton Homeowners Call a Plumber

Plumbing problems never show up at a good time. Here's why Dayton families trust Five Star Home Services for fast, professional plumbing.

  • Clogged Drains and Toilets

    Slow drains, whether in your sink, shower, or toilet, point to buildup inside your pipes. Clogged toilets are one of the most common calls we get. Professional drain cleaning clears the blockage completely, rather than just pushing it down the line to become a problem for you later.

  • Leaky Pipes and Faucets

    It may not seem like it, but a leaky faucet wastes gallons of water and drives up your water bill fast. Leaky pipes under sinks, in walls, or in your basement cause water damage, mold, and rot if you wait too long. Our plumbers find the leak, fix it properly, and check for other hidden problems while we’re there.

  • Water Heater Problems

    Have you been noticing your hot water heater making strange noises? Or have your showers been lukewarm lately? You probably need water heater repair. Most hot water heaters last 8 to 10 years. If yours is older or keeps needing repairs, it’s probably a good time for a replacement. We repair and install both traditional tank water heaters and tankless models.

  • Low Water Pressure

    If your water pressure suddenly drops, it could be a clog or leak somewhere in your pipes. If you have low water pressure throughout your whole house, it’s a bigger issue: corroded pipes, a failing pressure regulator, or problems with your main water line.

  • Sewer Line Backups

    If your sewer is backing up into your sink, toilet, or drains, that’s a plumbing emergency. Along with smelling awful, it’s unsanitary and causes water damage. Some common causes of sewer line problems are invading tree roots, broken pipes, and grease buildup. We use professional equipment to clear sewer lines and repair or replace damaged sections when needed.
