If you need an emergency plumber in Pembroke Park, call our 24/7 emergency line and tell us what the water is doing. Dispatch is available around the clock, and the town is a short drive from our office at 2100 E Hallandale Beach Blvd, because Hallandale Beach borders Pembroke Park on the east.
Pembroke Park does not look like most of Broward. About 53 percent of its 3,698 housing units are mobile homes, another 41 percent are in multi-unit buildings, and only about 5 percent are single-family houses. The town's own history page counts 17 mobile home parks, and the median home was built in 1978.
That mix changes how we approach a call. Lines run differently under a mobile home than through a slab, a renter usually has to reach park management before anyone opens a wall, and several different agencies handle the water, the sewer and the stormwater.
Problems that bring Pembroke Park its plumbing calls
We start with the housing, not the map. These are the failures that fit mobile homes and older low-rise apartments, in the order we would check them.
- Water pooling under or beside the homeA wet patch near the skirting or a soft spot in the yard can be a failed supply line. Close the home's main shutoff and see whether the patch stops growing.
- No hot water, or a tank that leaksSmall tanks in utility closets wear out, and a leaking one can soak the floor fast. A water heater repair visit settles whether the tank can be saved.
- Low pressure or sputtering tapsSputtering usually means air or a leak in the supply run. A drop at every tap points to the main line, not a single fixture.
- A drain that slows after heavy rainIf street water is standing outside and drains crawl at the same time, wait before running laundry or showers, then call. We can tell a clog from a drainage problem.
- A sewage smell or gurgling at several fixturesThat points past the fixture, either to a clog in the home's line or to the sewer main. Several neighbors with the same symptom means call the town too.
For clogs that keep coming back, our drain cleaning service clears the line and shows what was causing it.
Why 53 percent mobile homes changes the plumbing
In many mobile homes the supply and drain lines run beneath the floor instead of through a concrete slab. That is general plumbing practice, not a promise about your unit, but it often means a leaking line can be reached without breaking concrete, which keeps a water line repair simpler and faster to schedule.
The census counts 68 percent of Pembroke Park households as renters. If you rent in a park or an apartment complex, tell your landlord or park management when you call us, since they usually decide who pays and who grants access to the lines under the home.
Homes from the 1970s
Over half the town's housing, about 55 percent, was built before 1980, and the 1970s alone account for about 27 percent. Older shutoffs, tank connections and flexible supply lines wear out together, so one repair often shows you the next one that is coming.
Water, sewer and stormwater: three different phone calls
Pembroke Park does not run its own water. Its water comes through Broward County Water and Wastewater Services, which buys finished water from the City of Hollywood, and the system uses chloramines as a disinfectant. Hollywood's own supply plan places the town in county District 3B. Neither the county nor Hollywood publishes a hardness figure, so we do not state one.
The town does run its own sewer collection and stormwater utility, with lift stations and drainage projects on SW 25th Street and John P. Lyons Lane, and it buys treatment from Hollywood. If sewage is backing up in the street or at several homes at once, call the town's Public Services as well as us, because the blockage may be in the town's line and not yours.
Before we arrive when water is rising or a line has failed
Emergency dispatch is available around the clock in Pembroke Park. While you wait, these steps limit the damage.
Water is standing around the home after heavy rain
Keep out of the water, since it can hide electrical hazards. Do not run washers or long showers while the yard is flooded. Call us once the drains still crawl after the water drops.
A supply line has broken under the home
Close the main shutoff, open one tap on the lowest side of the home to relieve pressure, and keep children and pets away from the wet area.
Sewage is coming up in a tub or floor drain
Stop using every sink, shower and toilet. Keep people clear of the affected room and call us and, if neighbors are affected, the town.
You smell gas
Get everyone outside, call 911 from a safe distance, and call your gas utility before a plumber. Leave lights and switches alone.
Flooding near I-95 and the old quarry lakes
The town's long-range plan says Pembroke Park has a history of flooding, especially in the eastern parts near I-95 where the ground is low. Man-made lakes left by former quarries hold stormwater, and the plan restricts filling them without mitigation. For a homeowner or park resident on that side, heavy rain is the season to watch.
The tie-back is practical. If you live in the eastern part of town, learn where your main shutoff is before the rainy months, keep the area around it clear, and call our emergency line early when floodwater and slow drains show up together.

What happens after you call from a park or complex
The sequence below keeps a repair moving when a landlord, park office or town department is part of the picture.
Tell us where the water is
Give the street, the lot or unit number, and whether water is inside, under the home or in the yard.
Shut off and stay safe
We talk you through the main shutoff and tell you what to leave alone while the plumber is on the way.
Find the real source
The plumber checks whether the fault is on your side, or points you to the town or county when it is not.
Agree the repair first
You get a clear price before work starts, and we explain the options so a landlord can approve them.
ZIP 33009, 33021, 33023 and the neighbors
ZIP 33009 also serves Hallandale Beach, so it is our home ZIP as well as the one with the largest share of Pembroke Park. Town Hall sits in 33023, and a smaller part of town falls in 33021. Pembroke Pines and Miramar also share ZIP 33023, and calls from those places are welcome, with the same dispatch and the same emergency line.
If you are a few blocks north, our Hollywood plumber page covers the city next door. For the high-rise side of Miami-Dade, see our Aventura plumber page.
Permits and the Pembroke Park Building Department
The town's page says a building permit is needed to construct, enlarge, alter, repair or move a building or part of one, and it does not single out plumbing. Contractors must register with the town. Permit rules vary, so ask the Pembroke Park Building Department on SW 52 Avenue whether your repair needs one before the work starts.
Questions homeowners ask
Yes. Pembroke Park spans three ZIP codes. 33009 carries the largest share of the town along the Hallandale Beach Boulevard side and also serves Hallandale Beach. 33023 includes Town Hall on SW 52 Avenue, and 33021 covers the smaller piece of town that shares Hollywood's ZIP. We dispatch to all three.
Yes. Our 24/7 emergency line takes calls at any hour, including holidays, and licensed plumbers are dispatched to Pembroke Park around the clock. Non-urgent jobs can often be booked as same-day appointments when available.
Yes. Mobile homes make up more than half the town's housing, and we work on the supply lines, drains and water heaters in them. Tell us if you rent, because the park or landlord may need to approve access to the lines under the home.
Call us if the backup is inside your home. Also call the town's Public Services, since the town runs its own sewer collection. If several homes have the problem at once, the town needs to know quickly.
No. Water comes through Broward County Water and Wastewater Services, which buys from the City of Hollywood. A leak after your meter is a plumbing job, while a problem on the utility side is the utility's to fix.
They can. The town reports a history of flooding near I-95 on the east side. Standing water outside and slow drains inside often arrive together, and we can tell whether the cause is the home's line or the drainage outside.
Not for service. The ZIP covers both places, and we cover both. For mail or online forms, some systems expect a different town name in 33009, so use the town name your lease or bill shows.
