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.

Linda Burns
I highly recommend this company. They were quick and responsive in scheduling my service, and the plumber they sent out was fantastic. Sometimes it’s hard to find a plumber, but search no more. Use them! I certainly will use them again. Most importantly, their prices are very reasonable and competitive.

Outstanding experience! A polite young man Mr. Amado handled a small repair for us, and everything went seamlessly. Scheduling through the call center was quick, communication was stellar, and the pricing and workmanship were top-notch. As someone who has worked in the service industry for a long time, I truly appreciate the commitment to customer service and communication training shown here. The quality of work still needs to stand the test of time, but the overall experience was 10 out of 10. I won't hesitate to use them again!
Brian Ridenour
Daniel was great!! He was very prompt and explained the workings of the new water heater. The company is awesome. Now you could find a cheaper water heater and cheaper labor but I tried one of those water heaters from the big box store and it failed after only 4 years. The ones that Benjamin Franklin sells are MADE IN THE USA instead of a foreign country. Give them a try, you won’t be sorry!
Dennis Sen
10/10, no doubt about it. Lucas was prompt, professional, and knowledgeable. We had an issue with our water heater that left us without hot water or heat this fall. He quickly diagnosed the problems, explained his findings in excellent detail, and got everything fixed. He also went the extra mile in a couple of ways I didn’t expect, which I really appreciated. I’d absolutely recommend Lucas!
Refind Vintage
We had our water heater repaired and had a new water filter system installed after the technician suggested it. He was friendly and factual. After his visit we had to have another repair man to set the water heater temperature. Now it is working fine.
Suzyn Purdy
Christian was a very kind and pleasant young man. He did an exceptional job replacing my kitchen sink faucet and incinerator. He was thorough and helped to get the smell out of our pipes I would recommend him for any job.
Larry Murphy
Our plumber, Jared was efficient and understood our issue quickly! Very respectful of us and property and we highly recommend this company.
Jeremiah Fisher
A full gas water heater installation -- quick install with courteous service. Jon Hare and Luke Stelly gave excellent advice and were finished with the install in less 3 hours (including purchasing the unit itself)! Thanks!
Tammy Spencer
Luke was awesome! I am so happy that I picked your company to do my repair! I will be using your company again. Thank you for your awesome service! I would highly recommend your company to anyone needing service done at their home!
Paula Thompson
The guys were personable, have plumbing experience and seemed knowledgeable of the situation.
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.
