Raptor Plumbing Community Update: Hydro Jetting and P-Trap Replacement in Wellington and Jupiter At Raptor Plumbing, we are committed to keeping homes and businesses flowing smoothly across Palm Beach and Broward counties. Lately, many customers in Wellington and Jupiter have asked about two essential services that keep drains healthy and odors at bay: hydro jetting and P-trap replacement. Here is how these solutions protect your plumbing and when to consider them. Hydro Jetting: A Powerful Clean for Stubborn Drains Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the inside of your pipes, blasting away grease, scale, soap scum, and even intrusive roots. Unlike basic snaking, hydro jetting cleans the full pipe diameter, helping prevent the same clog from returning. It is safe for most residential and commercial plumbing when performed by trained pros who assess pipe condition first. Recurring slow drains in kitchens, showers, or main lines Gurgling sounds or backups after heavy use Grease-heavy lines in restaurants or busy households Older pipes with mineral scale and sludge buildup Persistent odors that snaking does not resolve Benefits of hydro jetting include a deeper clean, fewer emergency clogs, and no harsh chemicals. Thoroughly restores flow and capacity Eco-friendly solution using only water Helps protect pipes by removing corrosive buildup Ideal as part of preventative maintenance Our technicians evaluate pipe materials and integrity first to select the right pressure and technique for your system. P-Trap Replacement: Stop Leaks and Sewer Odors at the Source The P-trap is the U-shaped pipe under your sink that holds a water seal, blocking sewer gases from entering your home. Over time, traps can corrode, crack, loosen at connections, or get misaligned, leading to leaks, pests, or persistent odors. If you live in Wellington or Jupiter and notice issues under the sink, a P-trap replacement may be the simplest and most effective fix. Water spots or dampness in the cabinet under the sink Musty or sewer-like odors that return after cleaning Visible rust, pitting, or cracking on the trap Frequent clogs or black sludge buildup Loose slip-nut connections or cross-threaded fittings Outdated S-trap configuration that does not meet modern code We inspect for hidden leaks, venting issues, and proper slope Recommend the best material: PVC, ABS, or chrome, based on use Replace washers and slip nuts for a reliable seal Set correct alignment to prevent future clogs Pressure test and run water to confirm a tight, odor-free system Proudly Serving Palm Beach and Broward Counties Whether you need a deep clean with hydro jetting or a quick P-trap replacement, Raptor Plumbing is ready to help. We work throughout Wellington and Jupiter and serve both Palm Beach and Broward counties with prompt scheduling, clear pricing, and experienced, local technicians. If you are noticing slow drains, recurring odors, or under-sink leaks, contact Raptor Plumbing today to restore performance and peace of mind.

Trenchless Sewer Repair and Toilet Reset: Fast, Clean Solutions for Your Home When plumbing issues strike, you want solutions that are efficient, clean, and long-lasting. At Raptor Plumbing, we specialize in trenchless sewer repair and professional toilet resets to keep your home running smoothly with minimal disruption. We proudly serve homeowners and businesses across Palm Beach and Broward counties, including Loxahatchee Groves, Riviera Beach, and Greenacres. Trenchless sewer repair is a modern alternative to traditional dig-and-replace methods. Instead of excavating long trenches, we rehabilitate your sewer line through small, strategic access points. This approach protects landscaping, driveways, and sidewalks—perfect for preserving the large lots in Loxahatchee Groves, coastal properties in Riviera Beach, and tight neighborhoods in Greenacres—while delivering durable results. Minimal digging: Keeps your yard, trees, and hardscaping intact. Faster turnaround: Many projects are completed in a day. Cost-effective: Less heavy equipment and restoration work needed. Long-lasting: Lining and replacement materials are designed to perform for decades. Common signs you may need trenchless sewer repair include recurring drain backups, gurgling toilets, foul odors, wet or sunken spots in the yard, and older clay or cast-iron piping. We use advanced inspection cameras to locate and diagnose problems such as root intrusion, breaks, or corrosion. Depending on the condition of your pipe, we may recommend pipe lining (creating a new pipe within the old one) or pipe bursting (replacing the pipe along the same path) to restore full, reliable flow. Another common home fix we perform is a toilet reset. Over time, a toilet’s seal (often a wax ring) can fail, mounting bolts can loosen, or the toilet can become unlevel. A proper reset stops leaks, eliminates odors, and protects subfloors from moisture damage. When to consider a reset: rocking or wobbly toilet, water seeping at the base, sewer gas smells, or cracked/brittle caulk. What we do: shut off water, safely remove the toilet, replace the wax/seal, inspect the flange, level and re-seat, then test and caulk. Why it matters: prevents hidden water damage, mold growth, and recurring clogs caused by misalignment. Whether it’s a major underground sewer issue or a simple toilet reset, Raptor Plumbing brings local expertise, courteous service, and transparent pricing to every job. We’re familiar with the unique soil conditions, older piping materials, and seasonal groundwater changes that affect homes from Loxahatchee Groves to Riviera Beach and Greenacres, and we’re ready with solutions that fit your property and budget. Need help today? Contact Raptor Plumbing to schedule an inspection or estimate. Our team is here to protect your home, preserve your landscape, and deliver dependable plumbing repairs across both Palm Beach and Broward counties.

Keep Your Dishwasher Safe and Up to Code: Air Gap & Dishwasher Install by Raptor Plumbing Raptor Plumbing helps homeowners across Palm Beach and Broward counties keep their kitchens running smoothly with professional air gap installs and dishwasher installs. From North Palm Beach and Haverhill to Hypoluxo, our licensed team makes sure your dishwasher drains safely, efficiently, and in compliance with local codes. Why an Air Gap Matters An air gap is a small device mounted on the sink or countertop that prevents dirty sink water from siphoning back into your dishwasher. Many local codes require an air gap because it provides the most reliable backflow protection. Benefits include: Health protection: keeps wastewater from contaminating clean dishes Appliance protection: helps prevent clogs and damage to your dishwasher’s pump Code compliance: often required in Palm Beach and Broward jurisdictions Signs you may need an air gap or service: Water bubbling from the air gap cap or into the sink during a dishwasher cycle Persistent odors coming from the sink or dishwasher No visible air gap and frequent drain backups What’s Included in Our Dishwasher Install Raptor Plumbing installs new dishwashers and air gaps with attention to detail and safety. Our typical installation includes: Site assessment and shutoff verification New supply line and proper drain routing with an air gap device Secure, code-compliant connections to the disposer or standpipe Leveling, leak checks, and full operational testing Neat cleanup and haul-away options upon request Upgrades for Older or Problematic Drains Homes in areas like North Palm Beach, Haverhill, and Hypoluxo sometimes have aging under-sink plumbing that can restrict flow. We can replace brittle hoses, corroded fittings, or undersized traps, and reconfigure your under-sink layout to accommodate a proper air gap and smooth drainage. Simple Prep Before We Arrive Clear out the space under the sink and the dishwasher cavity Measure the cabinet opening to confirm fit (most are 24") Verify a dedicated, grounded outlet is available Have the dishwasher make/model ready for our technician Local, Reliable, and Ready to Help Whether you’re replacing a dishwasher or bringing your kitchen up to code with a new air gap, Raptor Plumbing is ready to help.

Toilet Flange Repair and Copper Leak Repair You Can Trust Raptor Plumbing is your neighborhood team for fast, clean, and reliable repairs that protect your home and water bill. We proudly serve homeowners in Boca Raton, Wellington, and Ocean Ridge—and throughout both Palm Beach and Broward counties. If you’re dealing with a wobbly toilet or a mysterious water stain, we can help today. Toilet Flange Repair keeps your toilet securely anchored and leak-free. The flange connects your toilet to the drain and seals out sewer gases. When it fails, you’ll notice issues that can damage floors and subfloors if left untreated. Rocking or unstable toilet Water around the base Sewer odors near the toilet Loose or corroded closet bolts Recurring wax ring leaks Our technicians inspect the flange and subfloor, replace damaged hardware, reset the toilet with a proper wax or waxless seal, and test for a perfect fit. If the subfloor is compromised, we’ll advise safe, code-compliant repairs so you avoid repeat leaks. Quick tip: If your toilet starts to move, shut off the supply valve and avoid tightening bolts yourself—over-tightening can crack the porcelain. Call Raptor Plumbing for a secure, lasting fix. Copper Leak Repair addresses pinholes, corrosion, and joints that can fail over time. Even small copper leaks can cause mold, wall damage, and high water bills. Causes include age, water chemistry, high pressure, and vibration. Hissing sounds behind walls Green-blue staining on pipes Warm spots on floors (hot lines) Musty odors or small bubbles in paint Water meter spinning when fixtures are off Raptor Plumbing pinpoints leaks with acoustic and thermal tools, then performs precise repairs: sweat-soldered copper couplings, section replacements, or approved transitions to PEX when appropriate. We use lead-free materials, protect nearby surfaces from heat, and pressure-test the line before we clean up. Licensed, insured, and local to your neighborhood Clear, upfront pricing and repair options Quality parts and workmanship warranties Respectful, tidy service in your home Same-day and emergency scheduling available From a shaky toilet in Boca Raton to a nighttime copper leak in Wellington or Ocean Ridge, Raptor Plumbing is ready to help.
