A water heater that gives out in the middle of a cold morning. A faint drip under the bathroom vanity that has quietly warped the cabinet floor. These are the moments when plumbing stops being invisible and starts demanding attention. When they happen, you want someone who arrives prepared, explains what went wrong, and fixes it right the first time. That is the standard we hold ourselves to at Larry's Plumbing, Heating and Cooling.
We are a family owned full service plumbing, heating and cooling business that has been serving homes and businesses since 1982. Over those decades we have seen nearly every plumbing problem a building can produce, and we bring that experience to each call. Whether the job is a simple faucet swap or a full repipe, we treat your property with the care we would give our own.
Everyday Repairs That Keep a Home Running
Most plumbing calls start small. A running toilet wastes gallons of water every day and slowly raises your utility bill. A dripping faucet keeps you awake at night. A garbage disposal that hums but does not turn signals a jam or a worn motor. These jobs may seem minor, but left alone they grow into larger and more expensive repairs.
Our technicians carry common replacement parts on every truck, which lets us finish many repairs in a single visit. We diagnose the true cause of a problem rather than treating only the symptom. If a faucet drips because of a failed cartridge, we replace the cartridge. If it drips because of corroded valve seats, we address that instead. This careful approach saves you from repeat visits and repeat costs.
Water Heater Installation and Repair
Few failures disrupt a household like losing hot water. We service and install both tank and tankless systems, and we service all makes and models. A traditional tank heater stores and heats a fixed volume of water, which works well for many homes. A tankless unit heats water on demand, which saves energy and frees up floor space, though it requires correct sizing to keep up with peak use.
When a water heater fails, the cause is not always the whole unit. A tank heater might need a new thermocouple, heating element, or anode rod rather than full replacement. We explain your options clearly, including expected lifespan and energy use, so you can decide with confidence. When replacement is the wiser choice, we offer free estimates and financing to make the decision easier on your budget.
Repiping, Fixtures, and Remodel Work
Older homes often carry aging galvanized pipe that corrodes from the inside, reducing water pressure and tinting the water with rust. Repiping with modern copper or PEX restores strong, clean flow throughout the house. We plan repipes to limit wall openings and finish with quality that lasts.
Remodels and additions also depend on sound plumbing. Moving a sink, adding a second bathroom, or installing a new dishwasher all require correct venting, drainage slope, and supply sizing to meet code and perform well. We handle these upgrades from rough-in through final fixture set, coordinating our work so your project stays on schedule.
Emergency Service When You Need It Most
Plumbing does not fail on a convenient schedule. A burst pipe at two in the morning can flood a basement in minutes. That is why we offer 24/7 emergency service. When you call, we help you shut off the water safely, then get a technician on the way.
We proudly serve homeowners and businesses across Vermillion and Yankton, SD. From the first phone call to the final cleanup, our goal is the same: solve the problem, protect your property, and leave you with a system you can trust. Reach out to Larry's Plumbing, Heating and Cooling whenever a plumbing issue appears, and let our decades of experience work for you.
