Emergency Services Offered
Services we offer
Drain Cleaning on an Hourly Basis, normal main drain cleaning charge is $150.00(1 hour of labor during normal business hours, tax and machine). Video Drain Line Inspection Water heater replacements. Repair/Replace faucets, toilets, garbage disposals, sinks, laundry tubs, etc. If water flows through it, we can fix it!!
I have used Wittmaier plumbing several times, the most recent was Monday this week. I keep coming back because they are friendly, professional, responsive, trustworthy, and reasonably priced to boot. I bought a home that had good bones, but wanted to make some changes. I've used Wittmaier every step of the way! Three years ago, they helped install a gas line for an outdoor grill. Then, it was work on renovating my main bath. Next, installing a new kitchen sink faucet including upgrading to include a garbage disposal. Every time, they have been able to schedule me within a few days to a week. They show up on time, and do great work! Most recently they helped me make some minor changes needed after a home inspection for the sale of my home. Quick turn around, and wearing a mask to keep us both safe during these crazy COVID times. This will always be my first call when I need a plumber.

Came on time and did the job carefully and correctly. The plumber even covered the furniture to avoid getting dust from the wall all over everything.
Description of Work: Leak found in basement. They determined it was coming from the upstairs bathroom. Had to open up the wall to get to the pipes which needed to be replaced.

it was important to be able to get an estimate the same day we called for it, as we had a non-functioning toilet in the middle of a DYI bath renovation. The work was beyond my knowledge and capabilities. Drew was professional, punctual and personable, and explained in detail what was involved in the repair, how it was going to be done and the time it would take to do it. Because they charge by the hour instead of by the job, the estimate felt more accurate, and was lower than the other two estimates we received. Drew offered the Angie's List discount without being asked. The estimate was e-mailed the same day. As soon as we responded, they worked to schedule service quickly. The job did take about a half hour longer than expected, but the plumber (Joe) was easily able to justify the additional time required. All in all, very satisfied with the overall experience, and will likely use Wittmaier in the future.

everything went well...they charge by the hour...he gave recommendations to move the valve, and I accepted. I did not like that John (sorry if I got the name wrong) stated the company also charges for travel time (which started from the time he called me to the time he got home ~20 min). I did not think that was fair, and I expressed my opinion to him. For example, if the job is 50 min and the drive is 20 min you are charged for 1 hr over...or 1 1/2 when rounded. Otjer than that, the work was good, and he was professional about everything.

When water started backing up into the basement, we were told by 2 different plumbers (not Wittmaier) who came out that our sewer line needed to be replaced. Before spending thousands of dollars, we called Wittmaier for another opinion. THANK GOD we called them! Andrew was right on time, honest and so helpful. They are so knowledgeable about older homes in this area. He sent Wayne out to snake the line and turns out we don't need a new sewer line at all.

Very well. The visit at the time of estimate was thorough. The tech checked the BTU load on the gas line to ensure that the gas outlet would be installed at the right point. Estimates were appropriate and on the money. Work was performed as promised. Happy with these folks.

I called to schedule service and asked for an estimate. Was told they would check with the plumber and call me back. I called the next day and was told the same thing. No one ever returned the calls. I guess it was too minor of a job.

We called Wittmaier in a panic because the handyman with whom we had scheduled an appointment never appeared. We called at 2:30, and by 4:00 the plumber was at our home. He was extremely nice and professional. He explained exactly what he had to do, different options with regard to whether we should have further repairs or get a new toilet, and overall was extremely professional and experienced. He fixed the leak and while we are discussing whether to get repairs or a new toilet, either way we will definitely use them for whatever work we need. Extremely pleased!

Overall I was very satisfied with the company and the service. The plumber who came to my house was very professional and took the time to explain what he was doing and how to prevent the clog in the future. It did take a few days for the appointment to be setup. It was a little longer then I would have liked but they kept good communication and came on time when they said they would.

I have been having water issues in my basement. I wasn't sure exactly what the problem happened to be but I just knew that water kept backing into my basement when I used the washer. I called this provider and I have to tell you. The young lady that answered the phone was friendly, professional and concerned about my problem. She walked me through what was happening and I was not even sure. An appointment was scheduled for the very next morning. Oh, and she also was helpful in accommodating my work schedule. The next day the technician/plumber Andrew came out and was friendly and helpful. He looked at the problem and where the water was coming from. He was patient and answered all my questions. He suspected the outside sewer line was blocked. Since I have the sewer line protection insurance through New Jersey water, he suggested I try that first. I am a big believer of being courteous, prompt and being honest. I felt this is exactly what I got. I hope to have an opportunity to use this provider as I feel confident they will do a great job!! thank you.

Received a quote for a water heater replacement job. Agreed and set a date for the installation. When the technician arrived he said it was the wrong type of water heater and could not be installed. So I called the township inspector to find out what is the proper type of water heater for this townhouse. The technician said the sales team will need a couple of days to price together the new water heater replacement price. A few days later I called to ask for an update. The sales person was not available because he went home for the day. The secretary was able to find some information on his desk and told me the price of the new water heater. I thanked the secretary and ask her to have the sales person that put together the quote call me when he gets back in the office. I have some questions that the secretary was not able to answer. I waited many days and never received a phone call back. Now they sent me a bill because they brought the wrong type of water heater to my townhouse can could not install it.

Response from WITTMAIER PLUMBING & HEATING
[Member name removed], When you called regarding your water heater you asked me over the phone for a quote on a 40 gallon power vented water heater that qualified for a rebate. I quoted you a price for a power vented water heater as per your request and description and you accepted the price and scheduled the installation. We picked up the necessary material for your job as it was not a standard water heater and headed out to your home. Upon arrival, we found that your home is a town house and we did not have the required distance away from doors and windows necessary for the installation to be up to plumbing code. The water heater that I believe you had installed and was still connected upon our arrival was the improper water heater for your home and you had a special type of water heater called a FVIR, direct vent water heater to allow you to vent out of the side wall as your original water heater had that was no longer on site. We remained on site as you contacted the township and we even called our water heater manufacturer to check for possible installation adjustments to meet code. As per your phone call to the township and our phone call to the manufacturer we found the the special direct vent water heater was needed. We contacted our supplier and they were able to locate a water heater and give us pricing, but it did take a bit of time to achieve and they informed me that it would also take several days to get in. I called you and gave you the cost for the completion with the correct water heater and you informed me that you were at the hospital and would call me back. I did not hear from you regarding the installation so I issued an invoice for a one hour minimum service call since approximately 2 hours was lost picking up material, travel and time spent at your house which could have all been avoided had we received the correct information from you when you called. I felt that splitting the time with you was more than fair since this was not an estimate, this was a call for service.

Plumber was good, but kept arguing with the ceramic tile guy - each saying the other didn't know what they were doing. Uncomfortable since they were both sub-contraced by same company to do the work.
