Whitehall Plumbing Company handles residential and commercial plumbing throughout Whitehall and the surrounding Allegheny County area. Whether you need a drain cleared, a water heater replaced, or a full repipe scheduled, one call covers the full range of work. We take on everyday repairs and larger whole-system jobs alike, from a single leaking faucet to main sewer line replacement. When something goes wrong, you want the cause of a leak explained, not just the patch. That is how we approach every job. We are open daily from 9:00 AM to 10:30 PM.

Simple scheduling. A price settled on the call. Water back fast.
We'll find it, fix it, and test it before we leave.
For busy homeowners and property managers, one call should cover everything. We handle the full range of residential and commercial plumbing, from the most routine repair to the more involved jobs that require a full day on site. Whether the call is about a dripping faucet or a full repipe, the work gets the same attention. Being local means we're easy to reach and easy to work with.
Plumbing work like this is the everyday end of the trade, and it covers more than a slow kitchen sink. We clear bathroom drains, floor drains, main drain lines, and everything in between. For stubborn or recurring clogs, we use hydro jetting to scour the inside of the pipe rather than just punch a hole through the blockage. Sewer backups, bathtub drain clogs, and slow-draining fixtures all fall under the same call. We get to the bottom of the problem fast.
Hidden leaks are the ones that cause the most damage before anyone notices them. We use pressure testing and electronic detection methods to locate leaks behind walls, under slabs, and along water lines without unnecessary opening up of finished surfaces. Slab leak detection is part of what a visit can cover. Burst pipes and broken supply lines are treated as urgent work, and repairs are scheduled as soon as the scope is confirmed. The repair pressure-tested before the job is called done.
No hot water is one of the more disruptive plumbing problems in a home or commercial building. We repair and replace both tank and tankless water heaters, and we install new units when a replacement makes more sense than a repair. If your water heater is not producing enough hot water, making noise, or simply stopped working, that is exactly the kind of problem we handle. Reach out and we'll get it diagnosed quickly.
A running toilet wastes water steadily and quietly until someone notices the bill. We repair and replace toilets, fix faucets in kitchens and bathrooms, install sinks, and handle shower and bathtub installation. Garbage disposal installation and repair falls under the same category. Whether it is a dripping faucet or a full fixture swap, fixtures and lines left working before we go.
Main sewer line cleaning, sewer line repair, and full line replacement are all part of what we handle. We run camera inspections of the line to see exactly what is happening before any digging starts. Tree-root intrusion into older lines is a common issue in this area, and we address it at the line. We speak to the pipe itself, from the house out to the connection point, and we leave the site clean. We make the repair and leave it tidy.
Low water pressure can point to a failing shutoff valve, a corroded section of pipe, or a broader problem with the supply line. We diagnose the cause before recommending a repair. Whole-home repiping in copper or PEX is available when the existing pipes have reached the end of their useful life. Shutoff valve repair and replacement, main water shutoff work, and pipe replacement service are all part of this category.
Plumbing work like this is the everyday end of the trade, and commercial buildings have their own demands. Property managers, apartment buildings, multi-unit properties, offices, and restaurants all run into the same plumbing problems as single-family homes, but the volume and urgency are often higher. We handle commercial drain cleaning, commercial water heater installation, pipe repair across multiple units, and fixture replacement at scale.
Pricing is confirmed before work begins, and scheduling is available daily from 9:00 AM to 10:30 PM. Right diagnosis. Right repair. Right the first time.
Staying ahead of plumbing problems keeps your home dry. Allegheny County's four-season climate, older housing stock, and regional water conditions create a specific set of plumbing demands that come up again and again in Whitehall neighborhoods. Wet springs and summer storms put pressure on basement drainage systems. Mature trees lining older streets push roots into aging clay and cast-iron sewer lines. And water hardness in the Pittsburgh metro area is enough to shorten the life of fixtures and water heaters if it goes unaddressed. The three services below reflect what actually comes up most often in this area.
Basements are common throughout Whitehall and the broader South Hills area, and Allegheny County's wet seasons mean that a working sump pump is not optional in many of them. We handle new sump pump installation, replacement of failed units, and the pit and discharge line work that goes with it. If water has been collecting in a basement corner or a pump has been running continuously, that is a sign the system needs attention. A visit covers an assessment of the existing setup and a clear explanation of what the installation involves before anything is scheduled.
The mature trees that make Whitehall neighborhoods attractive are also the ones most likely to send roots into an aging sewer line. Older clay and cast-iron pipes are particularly vulnerable because small cracks and joint gaps give roots a path in. We clear root intrusions from the line, run a camera inspection to see the full extent of the problem, and repair or replace affected sections where the damage warrants it. The work stays on the line itself, from the house out to the connection point.
Water hardness in the Pittsburgh metro area varies, but it is present enough in many parts of Allegheny County to affect fixtures, water heaters, and appliances over time. A water softener installation addresses the problem at the supply line before it reaches the rest of the house. We handle the system installation, the supply line connections, and the shutoff valve work that goes with it. Reducing mineral buildup extends the working life of a water heater and keeps fixtures functioning the way they should.
When the plumber arrives, the real work begins, but the price conversation happens before that. When you call, you get a rate on the phone before anything is scheduled. That rate covers the scope of work as it is understood on the call, and you can ask what the visit includes and what it covers. If something changes once the work is underway, you hear about it before anything proceeds.
Whether you are asking about drain cleaning, water heater replacement, sewer line repair, or a full repipe, the process is the same. You call, we scope the job, and you know the price before we show up. Clean work that leaves your home as it was found is the standard we hold every visit to. We make the repair and leave it tidy.
We serve residential and commercial customers throughout Whitehall and the South Hills area of Allegheny County. Nearby communities we regularly work in include Baldwin, Pleasant Hills, Brentwood, Bethel Park, Castle Shannon, Mount Lebanon, and Munhall. If you are in the surrounding area and are not sure whether we cover your address, call and ask. We are available daily from 9:00 AM to 10:30 PM.
We work throughout Whitehall and the surrounding communities in Allegheny County, including Baldwin, Brentwood, Bethel Park, Castle Shannon, Mount Lebanon, Carnegie, Dormont, and West Mifflin.
If you are in the broader South Hills area and are not sure whether your address falls within our range, call (412) 796-9789 and we will confirm.
We take residential and commercial calls from across this part of the county every day from 9:00 AM to 10:30 PM.
When you call, we ask about the problem so we can scope the job on the phone. You get a rate before anything is booked, and the visit is scheduled once the scope and price are agreed on. From there, you will be told what to expect from the visit and what the plumber will need access to when they arrive.
The price is confirmed on the call, based on what the job involves as described. If the scope changes once the plumber is on site and can see the full situation, that is discussed before any additional work is done. We do not add charges after the fact without telling you first.
The more detail you can share about the symptom, the better the phone quote will reflect the actual job. Useful information includes where the problem is located, how long it has been happening, whether it involves a single fixture or multiple areas, and whether water has been shut off. For leak calls, noting whether the water is visible or hidden behind a wall or floor helps us scope the detection work before the visit.
Pricing is based on the work involved, not the square footage of the home or a per-fixture count. A toilet replacement in a large house costs the same as one in a small apartment if the job itself is the same. Where size matters is in larger projects like whole-home repiping, where the scope naturally scales with the amount of pipe being replaced.
A single-fixture repair is usually scoped and completed in one visit, with the price confirmed before the plumber arrives. Larger jobs like a whole-home repipe or a commercial water heater replacement involve more upfront scoping, sometimes a preliminary inspection to assess the existing system, and a clear breakdown of what the project covers before work begins. Both start the same way: a call, a scope, and a price agreed before anything is scheduled.
The most common reason a job costs more than the initial phone quote is that the visible problem turns out to be connected to a larger issue that was not apparent until the pipe or fixture was opened up. A leaking supply line, for example, sometimes reveals corroded fittings or a section of pipe that needs replacement rather than just a fitting swap. If the scope changes on site, we walk you through what we found and what it will take to fix it before proceeding.
Common signs include discolored water, low water pressure at multiple fixtures, visible corrosion at exposed fittings, or a pattern of small leaks appearing in different parts of the house. Homes in Allegheny County with original galvanized steel supply lines are particularly likely to show these symptoms as the pipes corrode from the inside out over time. A call describing the symptoms is the starting point, and we can scope a pipe inspection from there.
We take calls from property managers, landlords, apartment buildings, offices, and small commercial buildings across Whitehall and the surrounding area. The work covers the same range of services as residential plumbing, including drain cleaning, water heater replacement, fixture installation, and sewer line service, but we understand that commercial and multi-unit situations often require faster scheduling and clear documentation of what was done.
Call (412) 796-9789 to discuss the scope and get a rate.
When you call to schedule, we discuss the scope and confirm the price before anything is booked. For commercial clients and property managers handling multiple units, we go through the same process for each job: a clear scope and a confirmed rate before the visit. Questions about documentation or how a specific job will be invoiced are best handled on the call when the work is being scheduled.

| Plumbing Service | What the Job Covers | Recommended For | Good to Know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Slab Leak Detection & Repair | Electronic detection beneath concrete, Pressure isolation testing, Targeted slab access, Pipe repair or rerouting | Homes with supply lines running under a concrete slab and unexplained water loss or warm spots on the floor | Locating the leak precisely before cutting into the slab keeps the opening as small as the repair actually requires. |
| Water Softener Installation | Main supply line tie-in, Bypass valve installation, Drain line connection for regeneration, System function check | Homes dealing with mineral scale on fixtures, shortened water heater life, or hard water from the municipal supply | Western Pennsylvania municipal water carries enough hardness in many areas to accelerate wear on water heaters and supply lines. A whole-home softener addresses that at the point of entry. |
| Whole-Home Repiping | Aging pipe assessment, Copper and PEX supply line replacement, Section-by-section work, Fixture reconnection | Homes with widespread corrosion, recurring leaks, or original galvanized steel supply lines | Working section by section keeps the water off for shorter stretches and makes the job less disruptive than a full shutdown approach. |
| Water Heater Repair & ReplacementMost Popular | Tank and tankless diagnosis, Element and thermostat repair, Full unit replacement, Supply line connections | No hot water, slow recovery, rust-colored water, or pooling around the base of the unit | We explain what failed and why before recommending a replacement, so you are not swapping a unit that could have been repaired. |
| Faucet & Fixture Installation | Faucet repair and replacement, Sink and tub fixture installation, Shower valve work, Supply line connections | Dripping faucets, leaking supply lines, or a fixture upgrade | Fixtures and lines are left working and tested before we go, so there are no drips to check after the visit. |
| Sewer & Main Line Service | Sewer line clog clearing, Camera inspection, Lateral repair and replacement, Main water line repair | Sewer backups, slow drains throughout the building, or a suspected main line break | A camera inspection shows exactly what is happening in the line before any digging or repair work is recommended. |
| Leak Detection & Repair | Pressure testing, Electronic leak detection, Pipe repair and patching, Slab leak location | Unexplained water bills, wet ceilings, or soft flooring with no obvious source | Locating the source before opening any surface keeps the repair focused and the disruption minimal. |
| Toilet Repair & Installation | Running and leaking toilet repair, Flush mechanism replacement, Full toilet replacement, Wax ring and flange work | Toilets that run constantly, fail to flush, or have cracked tanks or bowls | A running toilet can move a surprising amount of water through the meter in a single day, so it is worth fixing promptly even when it seems minor. |
| Emergency Plumbing | Burst pipe response, Major leak isolation, Sewer backup service, Urgent water heater calls | Any plumbing problem that cannot wait for a scheduled appointment | We take urgent calls every day from 9 AM to 10:30 PM, including weekends and holidays. Call and describe what is happening and we will scope it on the phone. |
| Water Pressure & Shutoff Valve Repair | Whole-house pressure diagnosis, Pressure-reducing valve service, Shutoff valve replacement, Fixture-level pressure checks | Low pressure at one fixture or throughout the whole building, or a shutoff valve that will not close | In older Allegheny County homes, shutoff valves that have not been turned in years often fail the first time someone needs them. Replacing them before a leak forces the issue is worth doing. |
| Drain Cleaning & Clog Removal | Sink, tub, and floor drain clearing, Main line snaking, Hydro jetting for grease and scale, Slow drain diagnosis | Any drain that is running slow or stopped entirely | Hydro jetting reaches buildup that a snake pushes past rather than clears, making it the better call for recurring clogs or grease-heavy lines. |
| Garbage Disposal Service | Disposal diagnosis, Jam clearing, Drain connection check, Full unit replacement | A disposal that hums but will not spin, leaks from the bottom, or stops working | Many disposal problems are mechanical rather than electrical, and a repair is often possible before a replacement becomes necessary. |
| Sump Pump Installation | Pit assessment and sizing, Pump installation, Discharge line routing, Existing system evaluation | Basements with recurring water intrusion or no existing pump ahead of wet season | Pennsylvania's wet seasons and Allegheny County's hillside terrain push groundwater toward foundations in many neighborhoods. A correctly sized pump with a properly routed discharge line is often the difference between a dry basement and a recurring problem. |
Every plumbing situation is a little different, and the right answer depends on the specifics of your home or building. Call (412) 796-9789 from 9 AM to 10:30 PM any day and we will talk through what is going on, scope the job, and give you a price before anything is scheduled.
