Emerald Plumbing

About

Emerald Plumbing is a veteran-owned and operated institution in Orlando, founded in 1996 by Liam Cuddy. While they are a full-service plumbing outfit, they are best known as Metro Orlando’s Repipe Specialists. Their approach is unique: they emphasize a "Dublin-apprenticeship" style of training for their staff, ensuring that 90% of their team is trained in-house to maintain a specific "Emerald Way" of quality. The Repipe & Filtration Connection Emerald Plumbing often recommends installing a Water Filtration System simultaneously with a home repipe. In the Orlando area, municipal water is notoriously "aggressive" due to high chlorine content. Piping Protection: High chlorine is a leading cause of failure for older Polybutylene and CPVC pipes, causing them to become brittle and split. The Emerald Strategy: By installing a whole-home filter during a repipe, they not only give you cleaner water but also protect your brand-new Zurn Pex pipes from the chemical degradation that destroyed the old ones. Water Treatment Offerings (2026) In 2026, Emerald focuses on robust, high-flow systems that don't restrict your home's water pressure—a common complaint with cheaper retail units. Whole-House Carbon Filtration: Specifically designed to strip out the heavy chlorine used by local utilities like OUC and Winter Park Water. Water Softeners: Aimed at removing the "hardness" minerals that cause scale buildup in water heaters and on shower glass. Halo 5 Systems: They are known to offer the Halo 5 series, which is a 5-stage, maintenance-free system that filters, conditions, and inhibits scale without using salt. Why Choose Emerald for Filtration? The "One-Day" Repipe: Emerald is famous for having multiple 7-man crews that can repipe an entire house and install a water treatment system in a single day, including drywall patching. Aggressive Pricing: Reviews from early 2026 suggest that Emerald is often significantly more affordable than "franchise" water companies that use high-pressure sales tactics. Service Area: They primarily serve Orange and Seminole Counties, including Winter Park, Oviedo, Windermere, and Lake Mary.
