Residential Plumbing
Residential Plumbing Services — Everything Your Home Needs, One Licensed Team
Your home's plumbing works quietly in the background — until it doesn't. When something goes wrong, or when you're ready to upgrade, you need a contractor who knows what they're doing, shows up when they say they will, and stands behind the work. That's what Carhart Plumbing has delivered to South Florida homeowners since 2013, built on over 75 years of combined trade experience and a family standard that hasn't changed.
We handle the full scope of residential plumbing — routine maintenance, repairs, installations, system upgrades, and emergency response — for homeowners throughout Palm Beach, Martin, and St. Lucie Counties. Whether you're dealing with a slow drain at 7am or a burst pipe at midnight, you get the same licensed team, the same quality of work, and the same accountability on every call.
Toilet Repairs & Installation
From a constantly running toilet wasting water and money to a full replacement with a new water-efficient fixture, we handle toilet repairs and installations of all types — standard, comfort height, wall-mounted, and dual-flush. We diagnose the actual problem rather than guessing, and we carry parts on the truck to resolve most issues on the first visit.
Drain Cleaning & Unclogging
Slow drains and full clogs are among the most common calls we get — and one of the most misdiagnosed. We use professional-grade equipment to clear blockages in kitchen drains, bathroom drains, floor drains, and main sewer lines. We identify the cause, not just the symptom, so the problem doesn't come back in two weeks.
Tankless Water Heater Installation & Repair
Tankless water heaters are one of the best upgrades a South Florida homeowner can make — endless hot water, lower energy bills, and a significantly longer lifespan than traditional tank units. We install, service, and repair all major brands of tankless systems and help you choose the right unit for your household's demand. We also service and replace traditional tank water heaters when repair doesn't make sense.
Bathroom Remodeling
Behind every tile and fixture in a bathroom remodel is a plumbing system that has to be planned, roughed in, and finished correctly. Carhart Plumbing handles the full plumbing scope on bathroom remodels — relocating supply and drain lines, installing new fixtures, tub and shower rough-ins, and final trim — coordinating seamlessly with your general contractor, tile setter, and finish crews.
Water Heater Repair & Replacement
When your water heater stops delivering, we diagnose whether it's a repair or a replacement — and we're honest about which one actually makes sense for your situation. We service and install traditional tank water heaters, tankless systems, and hybrid heat pump units from all major brands, with same-day or next-day service available in most cases.
Pipe Relining & Trenchless Technology
If your sewer line is failing, you don't always have to tear up your yard to fix it. We offer pipe relining and trenchless repair technology that rehabilitates deteriorating pipes from the inside — saving your landscaping, your driveway, and thousands of dollars compared to traditional open-cut excavation. We assess every situation honestly and recommend the approach that's right for your specific condition.
Water Filtration Systems & Softener Installation
South Florida water is hard, chlorinated, and in many areas, carries sulfur and iron that affect taste, smell, and your home's pipes and appliances. We design and install whole-home water softeners, carbon filtration systems, reverse osmosis drinking water systems, UV purification, and iron and sulfur treatment systems — sized and specified for your specific water conditions and household demand.
Sump Pumps
Homes in low-lying areas, near canals, or in flood zones throughout Palm Beach, Martin, and St. Lucie Counties can face serious water intrusion risks — especially during South Florida's rainy season and storm events. We install, service, and replace sump pumps and backup systems to protect your home's foundation, crawl spaces, and interior from water damage before it starts.
Video Camera Sewer Line Inspections
Before buying a home, after a recurring drain problem, or any time you suspect something is wrong underground — a video camera inspection gives you answers without guesswork. We run a high-resolution camera through your sewer line and show you exactly what's there: root intrusion, pipe deterioration, bellied sections, blockages, and buildup. The inspection pays for itself the first time it prevents a major repair surprise.
Leak Detection & Repair
Water leaks are often invisible until they've already caused damage. We use professional leak detection equipment to locate hidden leaks in walls, slabs, and underground — without unnecessary demolition. Once found, we repair the leak correctly and advise you on any related damage or follow-up steps.
Emergency Plumbing Services
Plumbing emergencies don't wait for business hours. Burst pipes, water heater failures, sewage backups, and major leaks require immediate response — and Carhart Plumbing is available when you need us. We respond fast, diagnose accurately, and resolve the problem so you can get your home back to normal.

Services Challenges
South Florida homes come with a unique set of plumbing challenges. We've seen them all — and we know how to fix them.
Living in Palm Beach, Martin, or St. Lucie County means dealing with water conditions, soil types, weather events, and aging infrastructure that create plumbing problems you won't find everywhere else. At Carhart Plumbing, we've spent over a decade solving exactly these problems for South Florida homeowners.
Hard water destroying fixtures, appliances, and pipes — The high mineral content in South Florida water leaves scale buildup inside pipes, on fixtures, and inside water heaters and appliances — shortening their lifespan significantly. We install properly sized water softeners and filtration systems that eliminate the problem at the source before it causes lasting damage.
Sewer line root intrusion from mature landscaping — South Florida's lush tree canopies and aggressive root systems are one of the leading causes of sewer line failures in older residential neighborhoods. We use video camera inspections to identify root intrusion early and offer pipe relining and trenchless repair to fix the line without destroying your yard.
Flooding and high water table risks — Homes in low-lying areas, near canals, or in flood-prone zones face water intrusion risks that most contractors in other states never encounter. We install and service sump pump systems designed for South Florida's specific hydrology and storm patterns.
Aging infrastructure in older homes — Much of the housing stock in Palm Beach, Martin, and St. Lucie Counties was built in the 1970s through 1990s with cast iron drain lines, galvanized supply pipes, and polybutylene fittings that are now at or past their service life. We assess your home's plumbing honestly and give you a clear picture of what needs attention now versus what can wait.
Undetected slab leaks causing structural damage — South Florida's slab-on-grade construction means supply lines often run under the foundation — and when they leak, the damage is invisible until it's serious. We use professional leak detection equipment to locate slab leaks without unnecessary demolition and repair them correctly.
Water quality problems from well and municipal supply — Whether you're on a well system dealing with sulfur or iron, or on municipal water with high chlorine residuals, your water quality affects everything it touches — your pipes, your appliances, your skin, and your drinking water. We diagnose the specific issue and install the right treatment system for your conditions.
Emergency situations with slow response from larger companies — When a pipe bursts or a water heater fails, the last thing you need is to sit on hold or wait two days for a call back. Carhart Plumbing responds to emergencies directly — you reach a real person, and we get there when it counts.
