Ellsworth Plumbing & Heating · 3605 Turnpike Road, Portsmouth
A family plumbing counter on Turnpike Road
A pole sign out front, a showroom of fixtures behind the glass, and a parts counter for anyone who walks in with a broken piece in hand. The shop is open Monday to Friday for Portsmouth and the wider Hampton Roads area.
Since 1906
Five generations at the same trade
By the family's own account, Ellsworth Plumbing & Heating has been at this since 1906. They describe themselves as a 5th generation, family and locally owned and operated business, with over 100 years of experience behind the plumbing and heating work they do in Portsmouth and Hampton Roads today.
What that looks like in practice is a full plumbing and heating & cooling service list covering water heaters, drains, gas lines, boilers, furnaces and air conditioning, with walk-in appointments at 3605 Turnpike Road.
The counter
We Stock What Others Consider Special Order
That line is their own tagline, and it describes the showroom as much as the counter: plumbing supplies, hot water tanks, toilets and faucets, kept on hand rather than back-ordered. Walk-in appointments are available at 3605 Turnpike Rd, and parking is free, in the lot or on the street.
If you would rather not carry a toilet out to the car, the shop offers in-store pickup, curbside pickup, delivery and same-day delivery. Have a look at the shop gallery to see the showroom and the vans before you come by.

Ellsworth plumbing has been our neighborhood plumber since we moved into our home 25 years ago. They are very skilled plumbers and provide efficient and affordable services. I highly recommend them.
