Comprehensive Plumbing Services in Hobe Sound

Every Hobe Sound home has access to our full range of plumbing services. The menu is the same across our entire Treasure Coast service area, and each service links to the national brand page with full details:

24/7 Emergency Plumbing

Around-the-clock emergency service dispatched for Hobe Sound homeowners facing burst or leaking pipes, slab leaks, sewer backups, water heater failures, or no-water situations. We are available day or night, weekends and holidays.

Water Treatment, Softeners & Filtration
Water softeners, filtration, and reverse-osmosis systems for the Treasure Coast's hard Floridan Aquifer water. These systems help in cutting the scale that ruins water heaters, fixtures, and appliances, and addressing the iron staining and sulfur “rotten-egg” odor common in the region's municipal supply and private wells.
Whole-Home Repiping & Pipe Repair
Pipe repair and whole-home repiping are Treasure Coast specialties. We replace aging galvanized, the failure-prone cast-iron drain lines in older Florida homes, and 1980s–90s polybutylene, all worn faster by hard water and salt air, plus water service line and leaking pipe repair.
Slab Leak & Leak Detection
Slab leak detection and repair, plus non-destructive leak detection and leak repair, vital under the concrete slab foundations of Florida homes. Hidden leaks and pinhole leaks waste water and threaten the home.
Water Heaters & Tankless
Water heater repair, replacement, and installation, including tankless systems, hard, mineral-rich Florida water scales and shortens water heater life. This makes flushing, replacement, and tankless upgrades popular.
Sewer Line Repair, Replacement & Trenchless
Sewer line repair and replacement and trenchless pipe repair for aging and root-clogged laterals, often with minimal digging to protect coastal yards and landscaping.
Drain Cleaning & Hydro Jetting
Drain cleaning and hydro jetting with camera inspection, clearing grease, scale, and roots from Treasure Coast drain and sewer lines.
Pumps & Water Systems
Water pump and sump pump service for the homes and systems that need them across the low-lying, high-water-table coast.
Fixtures, Outdoor & Disposals
Faucets, toilets, showers, sinks, bathtubs, and garbage disposals repaired and installed, plus outdoor plumbing for hose bibs, irrigation, pool equipment, and outdoor showers. These are corrosion-resistant for the salt-air coast.
Commercial Plumbing
Commercial plumbing service for the shops, restaurants, offices, and clubs across the Treasure Coast.

Hobe Sound's plumbing is coastal Florida plumbing, and it starts with the water. The Floridan Aquifer that supplies the area produces hard to very hard water, often exceeding 180 ppm. It scales fixtures and water heaters and frequently carries iron staining and a sulfur “rotten-egg” odor, whether from municipal supply or a private well. Softeners, iron and sulfur filtration, and reverse osmosis are among the most valuable upgrades a Hobe Sound homeowner can make. That same hard water, along with salt air off the coast, shortens the life of pipes and water heaters, making whole-home repiping, including the failure-prone cast-iron drain lines and polybutylene in older homes, a defining local service.

Hobe Sound's homes sit on concrete slab foundations, with raised and piling construction on the barrier-island and waterfront properties near Jupiter Island, not basements. Slab-leak detection and repair are central, and pinhole leaks in aging pipe are a common warning sign. The low-lying coastal setting means a high water table and drainage concerns. Hurricane season brings storm and flooding readiness, and salt air calls for corrosion-resistant fixtures and repiping. Many homes are seasonal, so leak monitoring and shutdown service matter.

Brennie Brackett

Made appointment to pinpoint leak in shower head. Turned out it was the valve which needed replacing. Hugo was great. Ordered it and returned the following day to install. He also shared information about flushing out our tankless water heaters and addressing excessive pressure coming into the house. We are checking with the builder before we schedule those additional jobs to see if there is any warranty on our home.

Mark Katzman

Hugo came on time. Fixed problem.

Donna

Angi recommended Benjamin Franklin Plumbing with a 5-star rating. Repairman, Wilson did a great job. We had a leak in a waterline in the front yard. Excellent service. He was professional, knowledgeable, and worked in a timely manner. Afterwards, he cleaned up the work site and did a safety inspection. I would definitely recommend this company and Wilson 😃

Rich Dunham

★★★★★ Exceptional service from Ethan and Benjamin Franklin Plumbing in Lisbon! I called just before closing and they had someone out to my home first thing the next morning. Ethan was fantastic - very polite, professional, and efficient. Pricing was very upfront before any service was provided, so there were no surprises. The job was completed within an hour! Exceptional customer service from start to finish - I also spoke to the office manager and everybody was very polite. It’s GREAT to have and know this company is serving the North Country! Thank you! Highly recommend!

Jim O'Callaghan

We were very blessed to have such an expert as Mike come to our house to troubleshoot our hot water heater. The man is a consummate professional, has decades of experience, knew exactly what he was doing, did what he needed to do, and we couldn't be more pleased to have had this absolute expert come to evaluate our water heater. As soon as we met him, we knew we were in good hands. He'll be back in 2 days to replace the hot water heater. Thank you so much!

William Rosshirt

Great! Andrew was friendly and knowledgeable. Came out an hour after I called and got my water line fixed up. He also let me know how to protect it from future problems. I'm a happy customer

Justin Faulkner

Great communication when trying to schedule and when in route. Answered my questions and explained options before starting. Completed the work, verified it was fixed and cleaned the area when he was done. (Kitchen sink clog - more than 25’ from the sink)

William Whitehouse

Justin did a great job unclogging my kitchen sink. I tried to do it myself and evidently it went up the vent at the T instead of going down into the clog. Hopefully it will not clogged again but if it does and I can't get it I will be calling again. This is the 2nd time I've used Ben Franklin Plumbing and am happy the the fast response and courtesy of the plumbers. I recommend Ben Franklin Plumbing to anyone I know needing a plumber.

N Peterson

Chris is very upbeat and personable. He showed up on time and was very knowledgeable and got everything done the same day that we needed repaired and replaced. I’m very pleased with his work and would highly recommend Chris for any future plumbing projects.

Jorge Hernandez

Jordan is amazing! He went out of his way to get the job done. Professional top-notch the best I’ve seen in a long time I would recommend and make sure you ask for Jordan.M

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my Hobe Sound water smell like rotten eggs and leave stains?

That sulfur odor and iron staining are common with the region's hard Floridan Aquifer water, whether municipal or well. A softener plus iron/sulfur filtration and reverse osmosis fixes the taste, odor, staining, and scale. We test your water and install the right system.

Should I repipe my Hobe Sound home?

Older Florida homes often have failure-prone cast-iron drain lines, aging galvanized supply pipe, or polybutylene, all worn faster by hard water and salt air. If you're seeing repeated leaks, low pressure, or discolored water, repiping is often the smart long-term fix. We inspect and advise honestly.

What are the signs of a slab leak?

Warm spots on the floor, unexplained high water bills, low pressure, or the sound of running water with everything off. Hobe Sound's slab foundations make these a real concern. Our leak-detection specialists pinpoint and repair them with minimal disruption.

Do you handle waterfront and seasonal homes?

Yes. We service waterfront and barrier-island homes, provide corrosion-resistant coastal plumbing, and help seasonal residents shut down, monitor, and reopen their homes to catch leaks while they're away.
