Meet Justin Kraus: Eight Years a Plumber, By Way of Three Trades

Central Florida · Meet the Team

Justin Kraus has been a plumber for over eight years, after earlier runs in carpentry, telecommunications line work, and welding. His average job starts the way you would hope: showing up, introducing himself, and figuring out exactly what is going on before anything gets touched.

Why diagnosis-first saves you real money

Justin's habit - understand first, quote second - is the antidote to the "parts cannon": the practice of replacing components one at a time until the symptom stops, with you funding each guess. A running toilet illustrates it: the cause can be the flapper, the fill valve, the float height, or a hairline crack in the overflow tube. Four different fixes, four different prices. A tech who tests before quoting fixes the right one once.

  • Ask any tech: "What failed, and how do you know?" - a pro enjoys answering that question
  • A written quote AFTER diagnosis, before work, is the industry-standard protection for both sides
  • Multiple trades in a tech's background (carpentry, welding) pays off in older homes, where the plumbing problem is often attached to a framing or fixture problem

FAQ

Common questions

The answers Central Florida homeowners ask us most often.

Do you offer 24/7 emergency plumbing and AC service?
Yes. True Plumbers & AC offers 24/7 emergency service across Central Florida for plumbing and AC problems that cannot wait, including burst pipes, water heater failures, sewer backups, and no-cool emergencies. Call (863) 667-6364 any time, day or night.
How quickly can you get to my home?
We dispatch 24/7 from four offices across Central Florida (Lakeland, Plant City, Auburndale, and Bartow), so a technician is never far away. Emergencies are prioritized, same-day appointments are often available, and the dispatcher gives you a clear arrival window when you book.
What happens when I call or book online?
You talk to a real dispatcher (or pick a time online), describe the problem, and get an arrival window. A licensed technician diagnoses the issue at your home and quotes the exact price before any work starts. Nothing begins until you approve it.
How does pricing work?
Upfront and in writing. After the technician diagnoses the problem, you get the full price before any work begins, and that price does not change mid-job. True Home members also pay no dispatch fees and get 5% off every repair.
What areas do you serve?
We serve Lakeland, Plant City, Winter Haven, Zephyrhills, Wesley Chapel, Davenport, Tampa, Englewood, and the surrounding communities across Polk, eastern Hillsborough, and Pasco counties.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. We finance projects up to $65,000 on approved credit through trusted lending partners, with terms from 3 to 120 months and 0% APR available up to 24 months for eligible customers. You can check your options in about a minute with no impact to your credit score.
Are there any discounts or plans?
The True Home Membership covers your plumbing, HVAC, and roof for $24.99 a month: annual inspections, no dispatch fees, 5% off every repair, priority scheduling, and priority storm response. Financing is also available on bigger jobs.
What services does True Plumbers & AC provide?
Plumbing (drain cleaning, leak detection, repiping, water heaters, and more), air conditioning (repair, maintenance, and installation), and whole-home water systems (softeners and filtration). One company, one call, for all three.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. True Plumbers & AC is fully licensed and insured, holding Florida plumbing license CFC1428965 and HVAC license CAC1820605. Every technician who enters your home works under those licenses.
