Plumbing services for Wellington homes and businesses
The cards below cover the most common plumbing problems, starting with clogged drains and water heaters. If your problem is not listed, the full list of plumbing services shows everything we handle, and you can always call and describe it.
Drain Cleaning
Slow sinks, gurgling tubs and kitchen lines that back up are cleared with cable machines first, and with hydro jetting when grease or roots keep bringing the clog back.
Water Heater Repair
A tank that leaks at the base, trips the breaker or stops making hot water gets diagnosed on site, and we say so plainly when a repair makes less sense than a new heater.
Water Heater Replacement
When a tank has run its course we size and swap it, with same-day appointments when available, and we can talk through a tankless unit if you prefer one.
Water Heater Installation
Planning a heater for a remodel, garage or addition? We cover placement, fuel type and venting, along with the permit questions that come with any plumbing installation.
Tankless Water Heater
Hot water on demand, plus the flushing and descaling a tankless heat exchanger needs, and a licensed plumber to handle the swap from an old tank.
Hydro Jetting
High-pressure water scours grease, scale and roots off the pipe wall, which is the usual answer when a main line clogs again after plain sewer line cleaning.
Leak Detection
Acoustic listening gear, pressure tests and moisture checks pinpoint hidden leaks in walls and floors, including the kind that sits under a slab.
Slab Leak Repair
A warm spot on the floor, running water with every tap off or a meter that will not stop spinning can mean a leak in or under the slab, and we repair it once it is located.
Burst Pipe Repair
A cracked or burst pipe floods fast, so we stop the water, replace the broken section and check whether leak detection is needed for other weak spots.
Water Line Repair
Soft ground in the yard, weak pressure or a wet meter box point to the supply line from the meter to the house, and we repair or replace the failed run.
Why Wellington homeowners call this line
Plumbing trouble rarely waits for office hours. Four things matter most when you are standing in a wet kitchen choosing who to phone.
A line that never closes
The number rings through at midnight, on Sunday and on holidays, because the dispatch desk runs 24 hours, every day.
Clear price before work starts
A technician looks at the problem and tells you the number before tools come out. If the job changes, you hear about it first.
Licensed and insured plumbers
The plumbers we send are licensed and insured. Our about page shows how to verify any plumber yourself.
Local knowledge of Wellington housing
Most homes here were built between 1980 and 2009, so pipes, fixtures and water heaters tend to be well into their service lives.

The repair is finished and explained
The plumber shows you what failed and what to watch afterward, such as a slow drain returning.
Emergency steps to take while you wait for the plumber
A few minutes of the right action limit the damage. Work through these in order if it is safe.
- Shut off the main water.The main valve is usually near the water meter or where the line enters the house. Turn it fully closed, then open a low faucet to drain what is left in the pipes.
- Stop using the drains.For a backup, do not flush, run the dishwasher or start laundry. Every gallon you send down has nowhere to go. Skip chemical drain cleaners, which can burn skin and make the later repair harder.
- Cut power to a flooded water heater.If a tank is leaking, switch off its breaker. Never step into standing water near outlets or appliances.
- Smell gas? Leave first.If you suspect a gas leak, leave the building and call the gas utility or 911 before you do anything else. Then call us for the plumbing side.
Not sure it counts as an emergency? Call anyway. Photograph any damage for your insurance claim, and see our burst pipe repair page for more.
What Wellington's housing means for your pipes
The median Wellington home was built in 1995, and more than three-quarters of the village's homes date from 1980 to 2009. Supply lines and fixtures from that era are aging, so repiping is worth discussing before a surprise leak forces the decision.
Older supply pipe and tired fixtures are the usual suspects when a leak appears, and our repiping page explains how a plumber judges whether a whole-house replacement makes sense.
Equestrian season, seasonal homes and plumbing
Polo at the National Polo Center (formerly International Polo Club Palm Beach) runs about 16 weeks each winter, and the Winter Equestrian Festival at Wellington International fills January to April. Seasonal residents and rental homes follow, some houses sit empty part of the year. A closed-up home can hide a slow supply leak for weeks, so a leak detection visit before the season starts is a sensible precaution.
Unused bathrooms let P-trap water evaporate, which lets sewer odor in. Running each fixture for a minute fixes it, and a stubborn smell is a job for drain cleaning.
Neighborhoods, utilities and who to call about what
Wellington covers about 45.8 square miles, from Binks Forest and the Aero Club (where homes have airpark hangars) to Palm Beach Polo. Longer pipe runs can hide a leak.
Wellington Utilities serves most of the village, but addresses east of State Road 7 are served by Palm Beach County Utilities, so check your water bill. Indoor plumbing is ultimately the homeowner's responsibility, so a clog inside the house is a call to us. If it may sit past the house, ask about sewer line cleaning or a sewer camera inspection.
A faucet that sputters or a toilet that runs after the Village's meter work is a job for faucet repair or toilet repair.
More than emergency calls: planned plumbing work
We schedule planned jobs too, such as a water softener and filtration setup, a water heater installation, a failing garbage disposal or a new fixture run.
Shops, restaurants and offices along Forest Hill Boulevard, including the corridor near The Mall at Wellington Green, have their own needs, from grease lines to backflow devices. Our commercial plumbing page covers that work. The Village requires annual backflow device testing under its Cross Connection Program.
Planned plumbing jobs fall under the Florida Building Code, Plumbing volume, which is built on the International Plumbing Code (IPC), so they belong with a licensed plumber who knows what an inspector expects.

A tank leaking from the base is usually urgent because the tank rarely heals itself. Turn off the power or fuel and the cold supply to the heater, then call. Whether it needs repair or a replacement comes down to the leak location and the tank's condition.
