That said, dispatch still answers Miami calls at any hour and sends a plumber rather than booking next-day.
Worth knowing before a job starts: Miami-Dade County’s water and sewer utility, along with the city’s own distribution infrastructure in parts of the urban core, serves the built-up city; there is no meaningful septic left inside city limits, a detail worth knowing before work starts anywhere in Miami. Permits themselves route through the City of Miami building department -- worth knowing before scheduling anything in Miami.
