What makes South Creek different in Coconut Creek
South Creek lies south of Coconut Creek Parkway and is often called the city's first neighborhood. One resident in the city's 50th-anniversary series moved in during 1972. The 2019 parks plan calls South Creek more than 50 years old.
The city also names its Community Center and Fitness Center South after South Creek. It sits at 1100 Lyons Road, which gives you an easy landmark when you call us.
That age is the reason this page exists. After five decades of daily use, we check first for worn supply lines, tired water heaters and slow drains. Our Coconut Creek emergency plumbing page covers the rest of the city.

Stain, odor or a bill that jumped in South Creek?
Call and describe it. We start with the meter and the pipes, not a guess.
Plumbing calls that fit an older South Creek house
We do not assume a problem from a street name. These visits are common in older houses, and each starts with a diagnosis.
- A stain, damp spot or musty smell with no visible source, which starts with leak detection
- Weak pressure, rusty water or repeated pinhole leaks, which can point to a repiping conversation
- A tank that is leaking or well past its years, handled as a water heater replacement
- A main drain that keeps slowing down, where a sewer camera inspection shows what is in the line
- A sink or tub that drains slowly, which is usually a job for drain cleaning
Who to call first for water problems in South Creek
If the problem is in the street or at the meter, the utility handles it. The city's water page tells residents south of Coconut Creek Parkway to contact the City of Margate, and our Margate plumber page explains that utility. Your bill names the utility that serves your address.
If the leak is inside your property line, call us. A meter that moves with every fixture off, a wet ceiling or a stoppage in your own line is on your side. For permit questions, the Coconut Creek Building Department is at 954-973-6750.
Before you hire anyone, the state's Verify a Licensee search at myfloridalicense.com lets you check a plumber by name or license number.
