Joey Grant's Plumbing Sewer & Drain Repair has been serving Nicholasville and Jessamine County since 2002. That is 24 years of showing up on time, doing the work right, and standing behind it when it is done. We handle plumbing for homeowners, landlords, property managers, and local businesses, and we have built our reputation one job at a time. Local ownership means local accountability, so you always know who to call. Sound pipes. Solid workmanship. Straight answers. Every job we take on is performed by licensed plumbers who know what they are doing and treat your property with care. We keep your home dry and your water flowing.
We plumb homes and businesses every day, and we are good at it, from routine repairs on a single fixture to full plumbing installations on commercial properties across Jessamine County. Joey Grant started this company in Nicholasville with a straightforward idea: give people honest plumbing work at a price they can understand before the job begins. That approach has not changed in more than two decades.
We work with homeowners dealing with everyday problems, landlords managing rental units, property managers overseeing commercial facilities, and business owners who need a plumber they can count on to show up and get it done. The range of work we handle is broad. Drain cleaning, leak repairs, water heater replacements, sewer line service, full repiping, and everything in between. We communicate clearly at every step, arrive when we say we will, and do not leave you guessing about what the job will cost. Our estimates are no-pressure and priced up front, so you know what you are agreeing to before any work begins. Reach out and a plumber will follow up.
Dealing with a slow drain or a sudden burst pipe? Plumbing emergencies do not wait for business hours, and neither do we. A burst pipe at midnight, a water heater that stops working on a cold morning, a sewer backup that backs up into your basement, a major leak that is spreading fast. These are the calls we take seriously, and we are available to respond after hours, on weekends, and when the situation genuinely cannot wait.
Homeowners and property managers in the Nicholasville area can reach us when something goes wrong and expect a real response. We will assess the situation, tell you what needs to happen, and get to work. Same-day plumbing service is available for urgent calls, and we make every effort to get a plumber to your door quickly when time matters. Book today. Fixed tomorrow. Done by the weekend. Call us and we will walk you through the repair.
From a single shutoff valve to a whole-home repipe, we have seen it all, and we bring that experience to every residential job in Nicholasville and the surrounding area. The work below covers the most common calls we receive, though it is far from everything we handle.
Slow drains are one of the most common plumbing complaints we hear, and they rarely fix themselves. We clear kitchen clogs, bathroom drains, floor drains, and main drain lines using drain snaking and hydro jetting for blockages that need more than a basic auger. Older homes in Nicholasville can have aging drain lines that collect grease, soap buildup, and debris over time. Regular drain service keeps those lines running and prevents the kind of backup that turns into a bigger problem.
Hidden leaks cause water damage that builds quietly behind walls and under floors before anyone notices. We locate leaks using detection methods that minimize unnecessary cutting and disruption, and we repair the pipe once we find it. Slab leak detection and repair is a service we take seriously in this area. Kentucky's clay-heavy soil shifts with moisture changes, and that movement puts stress on supply lines running under concrete slabs. Catching a slab leak early protects your foundation and keeps repair costs manageable.
A water heater that stops working is never convenient. We repair and replace both tank and tankless water heaters, handle no-hot-water calls, and perform water heater flush service to extend the life of your existing unit. If your tank-style heater is aging and you are looking at replacement, tankless is a worthwhile upgrade option worth discussing when we are on site.
Running toilets, leaking faucets, and worn-out fixtures are the kind of problems that seem minor until the water bill arrives. We repair and replace toilets, install new faucets and sinks in kitchens and bathrooms, service garbage disposals, and handle supply line and shutoff valve work throughout the home. Water pressure problems often trace back to a valve or supply line issue, and we diagnose those as part of our standard fixture service.
When pipes are old enough that repairs are no longer keeping up, a whole-home repipe in copper or PEX is the lasting solution. We also handle sewer line repair, replacement, cleaning, and camera inspection, main water line repair and replacement, and sewer backup repair. Same-day plumbing service is available for sewer emergencies, and we carry the equipment to handle line work efficiently. We will sort the plumbing and clean up after.
What sets our plumbers apart is straightforward: we treat commercial jobs with the same care and accountability we bring to a homeowner's kitchen faucet. Local businesses, rental properties, multi-unit buildings, and commercial facilities in and around Nicholasville rely on us for fixture replacement, drain service, water heater systems, sewer line work, and code-compliant plumbing installations. Property managers appreciate that we communicate clearly, show up on schedule, and handle the work without creating additional problems. Business owners value knowing that a plumber they can reach is handling the job from start to finish. We schedule around your operation when we can and keep disruption to a minimum. Call us to talk through what your property needs.
Scheduling a plumber should not be complicated. Call us, describe what is going on, and we will give you an honest picture of what the work involves and what it is likely to cost. We discuss pricing openly before the job starts, not after. There are no surprise fees waiting at the end of a visit. If the scope changes once we are on site, we tell you before we proceed.
Getting a quote is as simple as picking up the phone. We do not require a lengthy process to give you a useful answer, and we do not pressure you into work you did not ask for. Estimates are priced up front and explained clearly so you can make an informed decision. Trusted by homeowners. Relied on by property managers. Ready for your pipes. We keep your schedule in mind and offer same-day availability when the situation calls for it.
Nicholasville is home base, and Jessamine County is where most of our work happens.

We know the housing stock in this area, the age of the infrastructure in older neighborhoods, and the kinds of plumbing issues that come up most often around here. That local knowledge is part of what we bring to every job.
Every plumbing job we complete is done to meet current code requirements. That matters for your safety, for your insurance, and for the long-term integrity of your plumbing system. We do not cut corners to get out the door faster, and we do not leave a job in a condition we would not be comfortable putting our name on. If something is not right, we come back and make it right. That is not a policy we advertise on a banner. It is simply how we work. We are not satisfied until the job holds up the way it should, and we stand behind the work we do.

How do I know if my water heater needs to be repaired or replaced?
Age is the first thing to consider. A tank water heater that is more than ten to twelve years old and showing problems is often a better candidate for replacement than repair. Signs like rust-colored water, a rumbling or popping noise during heating, water pooling around the base, or running out of hot water faster than usual all point to a unit that is wearing out. When we assess a water heater, we look at the age, the condition of the tank and connections, and the cost of the repair relative to the remaining service life. We give you a clear picture before recommending anything.
What causes drains to slow down or back up?
Most drain clogs build up gradually. In kitchens, grease and food debris coat the inside of the pipe over time until flow is restricted. In bathrooms, hair and soap scum are the main culprits. When multiple drains in the house are slow at the same time, the problem is usually further down in the main line rather than at the individual fixture. A single slow drain almost always points to a localized clog. We can clear both, and for stubborn or recurring blockages we use hydro jetting to flush the line completely rather than just pushing the clog further along.
How are hidden leaks found without tearing out walls?
We start by narrowing down the location using pressure testing and a systematic look at where moisture or damage is appearing. For slab leaks, we use detection methods that let us identify the area before any concrete is touched. The goal is always to open as little as necessary to access and repair the pipe. Getting to the source quickly limits water damage and keeps the repair from growing into a larger project.
Same-Day and Emergency Availability
Urgent plumbing calls do not wait for business hours, and neither do we. Same-day service is available for burst pipes, major leaks, no hot water, and sewer backups, including evenings and weekends.
What are the signs of a sewer or main line problem?
Multiple slow drains throughout the house, gurgling sounds coming from toilets or drains when water runs elsewhere, sewage odors inside or around the foundation, and wet or unusually green patches in the yard over the sewer line are all warning signs. A sewer backup, where waste comes up through a floor drain or a low fixture, is an emergency that needs immediate attention. Camera inspection lets us see exactly what is happening inside the line so we can tell you what the repair involves before any digging starts.
How do tree roots damage a sewer line, and what can be done about it?
Roots seek out moisture, and even a hairline crack in an aging pipe is enough of an entry point. Once inside, roots grow and branch out, eventually restricting or completely blocking flow. Older clay and cast-iron lines in established Nicholasville neighborhoods are especially vulnerable. We clear the intrusion, run a camera to assess how much of the line is affected, and repair or replace the damaged section as needed. Catching it early is the difference between a targeted repair and a full line replacement.
What is the difference between a tank and a tankless water heater?
A tank water heater stores a set volume of hot water and keeps it heated continuously. A tankless unit heats water on demand as it flows through, so there is no stored supply to run out of. Tankless units are generally more energy-efficient over time and tend to have a longer service life than standard tanks. The right choice depends on your household's hot water usage, your existing plumbing setup, and your budget. We walk you through both options with honest information so you can make the call that fits your situation.
Upfront Quotes With No Surprise Fees
We price the job before we start it. If the scope changes once we are on site, we explain what we found and get your approval before moving forward. You know what you are agreeing to at every step.
What causes low water pressure, and can it be fixed?
Low pressure has several possible causes. A failing pressure regulator, a partially closed shutoff valve, buildup inside older pipes, or a leak somewhere in the supply line can all reduce flow at the tap. In homes with hard water, mineral scale inside pipes and fixtures adds to the problem over time. We diagnose the source before recommending a repair so the fix actually addresses what is causing the pressure drop rather than treating a symptom.
Do I need to be home when the plumber arrives?
In most cases, yes. We need access to the affected area and, depending on the job, access to the main water shutoff. If you are scheduling work for a rental property, a property manager or another authorized adult being present works just as well. When you call to schedule, let us know the situation and we can talk through what access we will need before we arrive.
Work Performed by Licensed Plumbers
Every job we take on is handled by licensed plumbers who know the work and treat your home with care. We show up prepared, fix the problem right the first time, and clean up when we are done.
How does your pricing work, and will the estimate change once work starts?
We provide no-pressure estimates priced up front before any work begins. When you call, we ask the right questions to get a clear picture of the job. If something unexpected comes up once we open things up, we stop and tell you what we found and how it affects the scope before we proceed. You stay in control of the decision at every step. We would rather have that conversation on site than hand you a bill that does not match what you agreed to.
What should I do if a pipe bursts or a major leak starts?
Shut off the water to the affected area if you can. Most fixtures have a dedicated shutoff valve nearby. If you cannot isolate the leak or the water is coming from a supply line, shut off the main water supply to the house and call us immediately. Getting the water off fast limits damage to floors, walls, and ceilings. We handle burst pipe and major leak calls the same day, including evenings and weekends.
How do I know if my home needs repiping rather than individual pipe repairs?
Recurring leaks at multiple locations, consistently discolored water, significant drops in water pressure throughout the house, and pipes made from materials known to degrade over time are all indicators that a closer look is warranted. Older homes in Jessamine County sometimes carry original pipe that has simply reached the end of its useful life. We assess the full picture before recommending a repipe. If targeted repairs make more sense, we will tell you that.
