Trusted Plumbing & Heating Services in Westport, CT
Since 1992, Rick’s Plumbing Service, Inc. has helped Westport homeowners keep water hot, drains clear, and heat steady through every season. Crews arrive on time, protect floors, and explain findings in plain English before any work starts. Techs carry the parts and tools to fix leaks, clear clogs, and service boilers on the first visit whenever possible. Sewer cameras, hydro jetting, and pro-grade testing gear give you facts, not guesses. Install teams size water heaters correctly, route venting safely, and leave tidy mechanical rooms. Local knowledge matters in Westport: coastal storms stress sewer laterals near Compo Beach, mature trees in Greens Farms push roots into joints, and freeze–thaw swings cause pipe bursts in older Long Lots and Coleytown homes. You get code-compliant work, photos for your records, and friendly service from a team that stands behind every job.
Fast Plumbing Repair & Fixture Installation in Westport
Leaky faucets, running toilets, seized shutoff valves, and mystery wall stains need quick action. Our plumbers diagnose at the source, not just the symptom. Supply line repairs include new supports and proper expansion control to protect fixtures. Drain fixes start with a clean access point and the right cable or jetting approach, then a water test to confirm flow. Fixture installs cover sinks, disposals, dishwashers, and laundry boxes, with new traps, air gaps where required, and neat caulking. Homes with mixed metals or old galvanized runs get a clear plan to prevent future corrosion. Crews label new valves and take photos so you know what changed. Service spans Saugatuck, Saugatuck Shores, Compo, Greens Farms, and beyond.

Water Heaters & Tankless Systems – Install, Repair, Maintain
Hot showers and steady dishwasher cycles come from a system sized for your family and floorplan. Our team installs and services gas and electric tanks as well as high-efficiency tankless models from AO Smith, Bradford White, Rheem, Rinnai, and Navien. Techs replace failed thermostats, elements, burners, and anode rods, then check draft, venting, gas pressure, and expansion. Tankless owners get annual descaling, inlet filtration advice, and help with recirculation loops to speed hot water to distant baths. Every install includes drip pan protection, seismic strapping where required, clean vent routing, and start-up readings stored in your job record. You get reliable temperature, safe operation, and guidance on simple upkeep that extends service life.
Drain Cleaning, Hydro Jetting & Sewer Line Repair
Slow tubs, gurgling laundry drains, and basement backups point to more than a simple clog. We start with the right tool: small-diameter cables for traps, sectional machines for long runs, and hydro jetting for heavy grease or scale. A high-definition sewer camera shows offsets, bellies, and intruding roots common in older clay and cast-iron laterals around Greens Farms and historic downtown. Crews mark depth and distance on the surface so you know the exact repair spot. Backwater and check valves add protection in streets that surge during coastal rains. Trenchless options and spot repairs reduce yard disruption where the line qualifies. Before we leave, drains run clear, cleanouts get labeled, and you receive video for your records.
Boilers, Radiant & Hydronic Heating Service
Cold radiators, short-cycling boilers, and noisy baseboard loops waste energy and comfort. Heating specialists purge air, balance zones, and correct circulator sizing so heat reaches every room. Cast-iron and condensing boilers from Burnham, Triangle Tube, Lochinvar, and Navien get annual cleanings, combustion checks, and safety control tests. Radiant floor customers gain quiet, even heat with proper mixing valves and outdoor reset controls. Oil-to-gas conversions follow a documented plan: permitting, gas piping, venting, and temporary hot water so your home stays livable during the changeover. Techs photograph each step and leave helpful notes on system valves and settings for easy future service.
