The Vero Beach South area is the coastal Indian River County community south of Vero Beach. It's a Treasure Coast landscape of established neighborhoods, retirement and snowbird communities, and waterfront homes along the Indian River lagoon and the barrier island. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of Port St. Lucie is proud to serve it.
We carry one of the most trusted names in American plumbing, a brand named Forbes' Top Ranked Plumbing Company of 2024, but the people answering your call are your neighbors. We are locally owned and operated by Matt and MaryBeth Black with a team of native Floridians. We're The Punctual Plumber: if we're not on time, we pay you $5 a minute, up to $300, backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Every Vero Beach South 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:
Around-the-clock emergency service dispatched for Vero Beach South 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 softeners, filtration, and reverse-osmosis systems for the Treasure Coast's hard Floridan Aquifer water. These systems can 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.
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 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 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 and replacement and trenchless pipe repair for aging and root-clogged laterals, often with minimal digging to protect coastal yards and landscaping.
Drain cleaning and hydro jetting with camera inspection, clearing grease, scale, and roots from Treasure Coast drain and sewer lines.
Water pump and sump pump service for the homes and systems that need them across the low-lying, high-water-table coast.
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 service for the shops, restaurants, offices, and clubs across the Treasure Coast.
Vero Beach South's plumbing is coastal Florida plumbing shaped by its water and its many established homes. The Floridan and surficial aquifers that supply the area produce hard to very hard water, often exceeding 180 ppm. Hard water scales fixtures and water heaters and frequently carries iron staining and a sulfur “rotten-egg” odor. Softeners, iron and sulfur filtration, and reverse osmosis are top upgrades. The area's older and mid-century homes, and its many retirement communities, commonly have failure-prone cast-iron drain lines, aging galvanized pipe, or polybutylene worn faster by hard water and salt air. This makes whole-home repiping a defining local service.
Vero Beach South's homes sit on concrete slab foundations, with raised and piling construction on the barrier island and waterfront, not basements. Slab-leak detection and repair are central, and pinhole leaks are a common warning sign in aging plumbing. The low-lying coastal setting means a high water table and drainage concerns. Hurricane season brings storm and flooding readiness. Salt air calls for corrosion-resistant fixtures. The area's many seasonal residents and snowbirds make leak monitoring and shutdown service valuable.
Vero Beach South's established and coastal homes get our full range. We offer hard water treatment and RO, whole-home and cast-iron repiping, slab-leak detection, water heater service, sewer and trenchless work, and corrosion-resistant coastal plumbing. Our stocked trucks finish most jobs in one visit, backed by the On-Time and 100% satisfaction guarantees.
If we're not on time, we pay you $5 for every minute we're late, up to 60 minutes or $300, plus a 100% satisfaction guarantee that we'll make it right. See our guarantees.

Vero Beach South plumbing follows the coastal calendar. Add softening and iron/sulfur filtration for hard-water scale, staining, and odor. Flush the water heater yearly. Watch for slab-leak and pinhole-leak signs in older homes. Before hurricane season, check drainage and backflow. Protect coastal fixtures from salt-air corrosion. For seasonal and snowbird homes, arrange shutdown and leak monitoring while you're away.

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.

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 😃

★★★★★ 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
That sulfur odor and iron staining are common with the region's hard Floridan Aquifer water. 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.
Many older and mid-century homes here have failure-prone cast-iron drain lines, aging galvanized pipe, or polybutylene. If you're seeing repeated leaks, low pressure, or discolored water, repiping is often the smart long-term fix. We inspect and advise honestly.
Warm spots on the floor, unexplained high water bills, low pressure, or running-water sounds with everything off. Slab foundations make these a real concern here. Our leak-detection specialists pinpoint and repair them with minimal disruption.
Yes. We help seasonal residents and snowbirds shut down, monitor, and reopen their homes, catching leaks while owners are away and getting the plumbing ready for the season.
