Professional Plumbing Service in Columbus, OH
We’re here to help you find
what you need.
Five Star Home Services is your one call for total home plumbing care in Columbus. Our experienced plumbers handle everything from basic repairs to complex water, drain, and gas line projects.
Our Columbus Plumbing Services
When you work with Five Star Home Services and hire a licensed plumber in Columbus, OH, our team can perform any of the following plumbing services:
- Drain CleaningThere are two methods we commonly use to clear your drains. The preferred method is sending water at high pressure through your pipes (hydro jetting), which is incredibly effective. If hydro jetting is not an option, we’ll use a drain snake with a special tool called an auger at the end to break up and pull out the debris that’s causing the clog.
- Water Heater InstallationIf you’ve moved into a new home or need a replacement, our team can install a new water heater in your home (either a tank or tankless water heater).
- Water Heater RepairWhen your water heater begins to malfunction, a licensed plumber can diagnose the issue and provide a solution.
- RepipingWhether you need some or all of your home’s pipes replaced, we can upgrade your home’s pipes with recommended materials such as PEX or copper.
- Leak DetectionIf you’re experiencing a leak but don’t know where it’s coming from, we can use advanced technology to find the exact location of the leak so it can be repaired.
- Water TreatmentWe can install filtration systems to remove contaminants from the water in your home or even soften the water for improved comfort, which means removing the excess minerals that may be present in the Columbus water supply.
- Sump Pump ServicesTo avoid your basement or crawl space flooding during storms, our team can install a new sump pump on your property or repair the one you currently have if it’s not working properly.
- Sewer Line Repair and ReplacementIf you have a leak or damage in your sewer line, we can either repair it or replace your sewer line to resolve the problem.
- Trenchless Sewer Line ServicesTraditional sewer line repair and replacement are done with open trenching, but these services can also be performed without trenches. This is much less invasive than traditional methods, and you won’t have to restore your landscaping afterwards.
- Well PumpsIf your well pump malfunctions or fails, our team can help restore functionality.

Steve Monbeck, Plumbing Service Call
“I had a clogged main drain that kept the whole house from draining, James the drain specialist was absolutely amazing. He explained everything perfectly, he showed me what he was seeing and what I should be seeing. He gave me tips on how to prevent this in the future, he gave me tips so that I wont require further work, and he a great attitude the whole time. Highly recommending James/Five Star to family and friends. Couldn’t be happier with the service!”
James Ashley, Drain Diagnostic
“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!”
Chris Carr, Drain Diagnostic
“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!”
James Ashley, Drain Diagnostic
“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!”
Chris Carr, Drain Diagnostic
“Very professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. Unlike another company that showed up unprepared, they came within 24 hours, completed the camera inspection, found the break in 20 minutes, provided photos, and gave helpful repair recommendations. I’ll definitely use them again.”
James Ashley, Drain Diagnostic

Columbus’s Unique Circumstances For Local Plumbers
As a local plumber in Columbus, OH, members of our team are confronted with the following location-specific concerns:
-
Freeze-Thaw Cycles
Since Columbus’s winters are cold and often dip below freezing, pipes are more prone to bursting.
-
Tree Root Intrusion
Especially in areas where there are lots of mature trees, the roots of those trees can be attracted to moisture within your sewer lines and begin to enter through any cracks. Once tree roots have entered your sewer lines, they can continue to grow and block the water from flowing through your sewer line.
-
Sump Pump Services
Columbus soil is often made of clay, which, when combined with heavy rainfall, can lead to flooding. We regularly need to install and repair sump pumps in the area to ensure basements are protected.
