Plumber in Stuart, FL

Your hometown plumber in the Martin County seat

Stuart is where we live and work, so most of our calls are a short drive away. We serve homes across the city and its edges, from the bungalows and cottages near Historic Downtown and the Osceola Street area to Golden Gate, Palm Lake Park, Rio and the condos and townhomes on Hutchinson Island and nearby Sewall's Point. When you call, you reach the owners who do the work, not a call center.

What Stuart's housing means for your plumbing

Much of Stuart was built between the 1950s and the 1980s, and those homes sit on concrete slabs with the drain lines buried underneath. Original cast iron drains from that era are now forty to seventy years old. In our climate cast iron tends to scale on the inside and wear thin along the bottom of the pipe, which shows up as slow drains, recurring backups, sewer odors and, eventually, leaks under the floor. We use video inspection to see the condition of the line before recommending anything, so you are not paying to replace pipe that still has years left in it.

Homes from the late 1970s through the mid-1990s may also have polybutylene supply lines, the gray plastic pipe that is known to fail at fittings. If you are buying or renovating an older Stuart home, it is worth knowing what is in the walls before you close up a new kitchen or bathroom.

Salt air, sun and the St. Lucie River

Living between the St. Lucie River and the Indian River Lagoon is part of what makes Stuart special, but salt air is hard on anything metal outside the house. We regularly replace corroded hose bibbs, outdoor shut-off valves and exposed copper, and we see water heaters in garages and utility closets with rusted jackets and fittings years before their time. Waterfront homes in neighborhoods like Rio and on Sewall's Point see it worst. Gas regulators, outdoor kitchen connections and generator fittings deserve a look too, because corrosion there is a safety issue, not just a cosmetic one.

City water, county water and septic

Depending on where you are, your water may come from the City of Stuart or Martin County Utilities, and some older neighborhoods around the city were built on septic. If you have recently been connected to sewer, or your home is still on septic, slow drains and gurgling can point to different causes, and we will check the right things. We also install backflow prevention assemblies and whole-home water filtration for homeowners who want better-tasting water or protection for new fixtures.
