The plumber was on time and did a professional job in installing the new toilet and disposing of the old one. He also tracked down the source of a leak and we were able to stop it.

wonderfully! Adam arrived on time, worked very efficiently, was very neat, cleaned up so good you wouldn't have known work had been done except for the brand new pvc pipe under the sink. I will definitely call Matt Mertz Plumbing for any plumbing needs that I may have in the future.

I have a 1940s house in Penn Hills. The basement shower began to fill with the washing machine drain water, and the toilet backed up. I was afraid that I had a breech in the drainage pipe out to the street because I couldn't clear the clog with a rented auger. Earl was able to come out the next day with snake and video, and determined there was about 20 feet of clog in the old terra cotta pipes under the basement floor. First step was to hydro-jet clear it from the outside of the house through the clog. Chris and crew came out the next day and were able to clear it. They were also able to see with video that the terra cotta pipes are poorly aligned, with peaks and valleys which will clog again. The pipes will need to be replaced eventually, but this gives us time to work that into the budget in the future. Matt Mertz Plumbing was prompt, reasonably priced, honest and fast. I am very appreciative!

Can't recommend Matt Mertz enough. I called about a leaking toilet and they were able to send someone same day. The plumber (Larry) was on time and fixed it in no time. He explained why it was leaking (bad seal on the wax ring by installer) and added another seal. Cleaned everything up perfectly and that was it. I would definitely call Matt Mertz again.

went quite well. Evaluated and priced the day we called, and replacement done the next day. Can't beat that for responsiveness. replaced with 50 gallon Bradford White heater. All done by one man. those compression fittings sure work better than the old solder fittings. Much faster. about a 2-3 hr project. clean - up was thorough. took away the old heater. No mess no fuss. Will definitely go to Matt Mertz for other plumbing jobs.

They said they did not service my area. If that’s the case then don’t say on your website All of Allegheny County and surrounding areas. I live about a half hour from the north hills. If that’s to far away then put on your website the areas you service!

We unexpectedly had our water service line just stop working, which left our family without water. Matt Mertz Plumbing had someone out to have a look the day I called. Even though their scheduled service was several weeks out, they started the job the next day because we had a little kid and understood that we really needed water. The crew was very professional, yet friendly. They called ahead each day before they came. They did their best to leave everything looking as good as they could after needing to dig up my yard, replacing the shrubs and plants they had to dig up, and doing a nice job replacing the sidewalk block they had to replace. I’d definitely recommend them to others and call again if I had plumbing issues.

Excellent. To start, they had promised to come to us sometime on a Saturday, but on Friday morning they called to say that they had an opening, and could come right away if that fit our needs. It worked out fine--their person came and did the job. After the obvious repair was made, testing the system showed that there was another, smaller crack in an "ell" joint. He replaced this, and then installed a valve at the lowest point in the line, so that in the future we can thoroughly drain this pipe during the winter when the exterior faucet is taken out of service.

Tree roots had infiltrated our 45-year old terra cotta sewer line. It was repaired with a trenceless sewer system inside the existing line. Only a small amount of excavation was required. .We were impressed by Matt Mertz Plumbing's work. Very professional. Everyone was knowledgeable and easy to work with.

We had an excellent experience with Matt Mertz Plumbing! Don Mertz performed the majority of the repairs and for several hours of a few days of work, we also met another member of the Mertz family, Heather, who was as professional and hard working as Don. Mertz Plumbing did and outstanding job and we couldn't be more pleased with the outcome of their work. We would be very happy to hire Don again for any future job that we may require because it's very apparent that he has vast knowledge and experience. Plus, he's just a really great guy!

I had recent waterproofing service completed in my basement. Unfortunately, the downspout was clogged - for the drainage. I read the reviews about the company and was pleased to give them a try. Technician EARL called before coming and he worked laboriously to open the drain! Consequently, I am grateful for an unclogged downspout - within an hour.

Every person I worked with, starting from the plumbers who came to clear the drain, give estimates for the permanent repair and the people who actually did the drain line replacement was extremely courteous and professional. They also did a great job cleaning up after their work. It's almost been a year since they replaced the line and we haven't had any sewer issues!

I called and expected to be told it would take a few days for them to be able to make it out. I was pleasantly surprised when they said they could come out later the same afternoon. They arrived when they said they would be there and the service man was very knowledgeable and personable. He was quickly able to diagnose what the problems were with both the hot water tank and the toilet. He had all of the parts and had us all fixed up within an hour. The price for parts and labor was less than I expected. While he was here, I also asked him to take a look at another plumbing issue that we had going on to give an opinion for the amount of work that might be entailed in getting it corrected. He was very honest with me, and set realistic expectations. I am very happy with the service that we received from Matt Mertz plumbing. We will definitely use them again in the future for our plumbing needs. Thank you for a wonderful service experience!

My sewer temporarily backed up into basement while doing laundry on a Sunday evening. A panicked call to MMP was answered professionally and very helpfully with a promise to have someone at my home the following morning. The technician arrived as planned on time at 8am and quickly found the problem outside and unclogged my drain in less than a half hour. The underlying cause of the clog was shown to me by camera and we have made plans to fix the issue. I was given a clear, fair quote with explanation of the planned repair. Rarely do you find the type of professional service and level of expertise that my technician displayed. He was exceptionally competent and friendly. The charge for service was not up charged with any emergency fee. From my initial call to the completion of my service visit I was impressed. Thanks MMP.
