Newport Beach Plumber for Vintage and Luxury Homes
By William “Jay” Horsky Jr., Owner, Professional Plumbing, Inc. · Published June 25, 2026 · Updated June 25, 2026
You spot a damp patch on the wall of a home you have put real money into and you want it handled right, and a careful Newport Beach plumber treats the property the way you do. Professional Plumbing has served Newport Beach since 1985, from the cottages on the Balboa Peninsula and Balboa Island to the hillside remodels in Big Canyon and Newport Coast. The homes here run from vintage to luxury, and both reward a plumber who slows down and protects the finishes.
Newport Beach essentials
- From Peninsula cottages to Big Canyon remodels, a Newport Beach plumber protects finishes and slows down on properties owners have invested in heavily.
- Hard imported water wears cartridges and seals even on premium fixtures.
- A vintage piece may need a fitting no longer made, while a high-end install rewards a clean, unhurried hand.
- We cover finished floors and protect surrounding surfaces on every visit.
Why Newport Beach owners choose us
Newport Beach runs largely on hard imported water that wears cartridges and seals even on premium fixtures, and the homes range from vintage cottages on the Peninsula to luxury remodels in Big Canyon. A vintage piece may need a fitting no longer made, and a high-end install rewards a clean, unhurried hand. We tell you up front what a given job will take.
We cover finished floors, protect surrounding surfaces, and give you the full price in writing before any work begins, with a free second opinion on major work. We have served Newport since 1985.

A recent Newport Beach job
Recently, an older Newport Beach home had a shower that had been dripping behind the tile for months. The brass valve inside the wall had corroded and would no longer seal. The technician opened a small section of the wall, confirmed the worn valve body, installed a new valve with fresh copper connections and a new cartridge, tested it, and closed the wall back up. A slow leak that could have rotted the framing was done.
What to do in a plumbing emergency
On a finished home, minutes matter, so stop the water before it spreads.
- Shut the main, usually at the meter near the street or where the line enters the house.
- For a heater leak, close the cold inlet valve on top of the tank.
- Open a low faucet to drain the pressure.
- Call us at (949) 822-9548, any hour.

Newport Beach plumber FAQ
Will you protect my finished floors and surfaces?
We protect your finished floors and surfaces on every job. On Newport's vintage and luxury homes we cover finished floors and protect surrounding finishes while we work.
Can you repair a leak behind the tile without a full demolition?
We can often repair a leak behind the tile without a full demolition. We open a small, targeted section to reach the valve, replace it, test it, and close it back up, as we did on a Peninsula shower that had dripped for months.
Do you work with vintage fixtures that need obsolete parts?
We work with vintage fixtures that need obsolete parts. We tell you up front what adapter or rework an old fitting will take so there is no surprise once the wall is open.
Does hard water affect premium fixtures here?
Hard water does affect premium fixtures here. The imported supply arrives hard and high in minerals, which wears cartridges and seals even on high-end pieces.
Are you available after hours in Newport Beach?
We are available after hours in Newport Beach, 24 hours a day, every day, usually within one to two hours.

Real reviews from our Newport Beach Google Business Profile.
★★★★★
“I had a rotted pipe in the drain line in my garage. Professional Plumbing was the second company I called. I was not comfortable with the first company. I have an old house and had concerns with the age of my pipes. Nick listened to my concerns and was able to fix the problem. The work was done in a professional manner and the cost was reasonable. I will definitely call Professional Plumbing first next time!”
