Serving Allegheny County and beyond Plumber Allegheny County

We are extremely pleased with the experience Sep 29, 2025

We had a full repiping of our home. The company attended to pinhole leaks, promptly provided an estimate, and scheduled the work immediately on our acceptance of the bid. Before the work could be done, they immediately attended to a new leak, which took two techs two hours, at no charge. The company did the job within the projected two days and promptly addressed punch list items. The workers were very polite and respectful. We are extremely pleased with the experience and would highly recommend them.

Rick was awesome. Sep 23, 2025

Rick was awesome. So nice, knew his business, and left our basement spotless. I needed him to fix another plumber’s mistake, and when he was done, it looked great and was up to code. I will definitely be having Rick do my plumbing projects from now on.

Phenomenal Experience Jun 23, 2025

I’m approaching the finish line of a four-day major plumbing repair at my home that included concrete excavation and sewer line reconfiguration/replacement, and I have had a phenomenal experience. Absolutely 5 stars for Steve, Nick, and Adam! These guys have been nothing short of outstanding. From the very beginning, their customer service has been top-notch — professional, responsive, and always willing to explain things clearly and patiently. Their knowledge and experience were immediately evident, and they brought a level of confidence and calm to every step of this job. It is obvious that they take pride in what they do and actually care about the customer experience as much as the finished product. What really stood out was their pleasant and respectful demeanor — they were friendly, courteous, and made a messy, complicated project feel manageable and even stress-free. Despite working in an incredibly dirty and demanding environment (not to mention rainy), they kept the worksite as neat and organized as possible, which I truly appreciated. It’s rare to find a team that checks every box: skill, communication, cleanliness, and a great attitude. As a sidenote, I have HomeServe insurance and had the option to make a claim in order to have this issue partially paid for (since they only pay for foundation to utility). I had such a positive experience with Steve and a previous furnace-related issue that I opted out of a significant financial savings due to the level of trust and faith I had in Steve, in particular. Lastly, I work with clients and employees as part of a 5,000+ employee team organization and routinely teach customer service and customer experience principles. It’s hard to impress me, but these guys did. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend your company — and especially Steve, Nick, and Adam — to anyone looking for a plumbing contractor. Please pass along my review and my thanks – they are a fantastic crew and hopefully, are highly valued within Rick Hartman Plumbing. Leslie McCandless Township

They will be my new plumbing company! Jun 2, 2025

Steve and his coworker came to my house sooner than expected, which was awesome considering we had no water. They were courteous, professional, and hard-working. They explained everything and why it needed to be done. I feel they charged fairly and did a great job! They will be my new plumbing company for sure! Thanks, guys!

Highly recommend them! May 23, 2025

Had a leak that was getting worse quickly. Dan and Nick found it and fixed it. They were polite & professional. They cleaned up and all is good now. Reasonably priced. We have used them a couple of times in the past. We highly recommend them!

No job is perfect. Mar 20, 2025

My original plumber bailed on my project to convert from a power vent gas water heater to a hybrid electric. Reached out to many plumbers and Rick Hartman came through. The original quote was $595 which I thought it was a great deal. I sent the pictures of the current setup and everything was ready to go. Then the technician came through and said it was more complicated and requested to delay the project by 2 days. Then on the day, they requested another 2 days due to staffing. Also since it was more complicated, they wanted to change the pricing to labor hr + material. On the day of the work, the first technician showed up at 9 and the second technician at 9:30. It was a two-man job since the 65-gallon hybrid is heavy. So the final bill was ~$1000, 4.75 hours + ~$215 material. The physical work was done at 1:35 pm. I am not surprised by the invoice amount but did not get a list of material used. In short, if you have a simple water heater replacement at the flat rate, I think Rick is a great resource. Included pics of the draining pan and the piping. I supplied the expansion tank, PVC 3-inch cap, and draining pan. The owner contacted me and provided an updated material list and cost. Other than the traditional markup, the material cost is reasonable. After using the unit and the installation for a couple of days, the condenser tube was cut too short and does not reach the floor drain. No job is perfect. This is for the business RHP.

Highly Recommend Hartman Plumbing! Feb 10, 2025

Excellent service. I called this morning with a clogged basement drain, and they were out in a few hours, fixed the problem, and left the area spotless. All this and cost much less than a national company I contacted first. I highly recommend Hartman Plumbing!

Kendrick was very nice and knowledgeable Nov 18, 2024

Kendrick was very nice and knowledgeable. I hope the issue with my plumbing is fixed! We have had plenty of plumbers, and this guy did seem very knowledgeable. The jury's out, but so far it seems fixed!

Quick, Professional, Polite and Respectful Nov 14, 2024

Yesterday, Nov 13, all of a sudden, I needed a new hot water tank. My previous plumber was out of business and a neighbor recommended Rick Hartman Plumbing. It turned out that that was the best ever recommendation. Their service was quick, professional, polite, and respectful. I highly recommend them.

Efficient and got the job done right! Nov 10, 2024

Hats off to Rick Hartman Plumbing and plumber extraordinaire Dan Carpenter! I'm sure he probably didn't want to come out on a call on a rainy Sunday afternoon during the Steelers game any more than WE wanted to have to call a plumber, but you'd never know! Dan was courteous and the most knowledgeable plumbing professional we've EVER had in our home over many years. Efficient and got the job DONE right! SO happy! Alright, Dan!!

No More Surprising Leaks! Sep 26, 2024

Had 5 copper pipes with pinholes so, after a year of changing to PEX each time, we decided to have all the plumbing changed. No more surprising leaks! The 2 men, Steve and Nick, met all our expectations…knowledgeable, neat, and very respectful. So pleased with their work ethic… top notch!

Margo Duffy

Highly recommend Aug 30, 2024

Excellent professional service and personal attitude. Dan did a great job fixing the leaking valve, took time to answer questions of a newbie homeowner, the office was very patient and at the same time quick to respond, overall great experience. And very reasonable pricing. Highly recommend.

Fantastic Job Aug 16, 2024

I had bathtub faucets that leaked along with my laundry tub faucets. Dan came and fixed them and did a fantastic job. He is very nice and pleasant and answered all my questions. I am very pleased. Thank you.

Reliable, Quick, and Professional Jun 17, 2024

Rick Hartman Plumbing has always been reliable, quick, and professional. They respond in emergencies, and have appointments available throughout the week. The crew explains what they're doing, each and every step, and never fail to answer small questions. I couldn't recommend them more!

Outstanding Punctuality and Professionalism May 9, 2024

I recently had an urgent issue with my kitchen sink backfilling and not draining at all. After initially contacting them for estimates a week ago, Cindy came to the rescue by accommodating my request to move the appointment a day early due to the kitchen sink issue. Nick's punctuality and professionalism were outstanding—he not only arrived within the hour but also took the time to explain his approach thoroughly. What I appreciated was that Nick said he starts with the least aggressive approach first, then increases as necessary. Thanks to his expertise and diligence, the sink was draining like new after just a couple of rounds of air and drill snaking. Throughout the process, Nick maintained a high level of professionalism, ensuring that he left the area cleaner than he found it! While we were testing the kitchen sink, we switched over to discuss the other estimates I had requested. His willingness to address all my 100s of questions and concerns with patience and expertise was very much appreciated—it never felt as if I was asking a dumb question. While there may be some lead time for projects, Rick Hartman and Nick's exemplary service and dedication make them well worth the wait. I highly recommend them for their professionalism, expertise, and overall 10/10 service.

Work Done Spectacularly May 5, 2024

Recently had a Phyn installed, and two technicians from here were sent to our home. They were courteous, kind, and professional. The work was done spectacularly. Thank you!

Carolyn Timko

Highly recommend for HVAC Apr 26, 2024

Nick was great. We wanted a mini split installed in our upstairs. He came out and did an estimate for us and was extremely informative and helpful in breaking everything down. He then quickly scheduled the install and completed the work. He did a great job. The work was very clean and presentable. He took the time to explain how the unit operated and answered the questions I had. I would highly recommend for all of your HVAC and plumbing needs!

Replaced my sump pump in hours Apr 3, 2024

Updated Review - Dan & Nick completely replaced my sump pump within just a few hours of my initial call, which was during a torrential downpour. My basement was taking on water, but these guys got everything taken care of with ease. This company is great to work with & is the only plumbing company that my family calls.

Brendan Sheehan

Very reasonable prices Mar 24, 2024

First of all, the call taker is so nice and accommodating. All the plumbers are very good at what they do and are clean at their work. Their prices are very reasonable too.

Incredibly Knowledgeable and Professional Mar 21, 2024

Nick was awesome - incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. I'll absolutely work with them again and would highly recommend.

Wonderful Work and People Mar 7, 2024

The Hartman team has helped me out time and time again on my 100-year-old house. Their prices are always the most fair, and they are so quick to respond. Wonderful work and wonderful people.

Alyssa Schlumpf

Great Job and Support Mar 6, 2024

We had a unique and time-sensitive situation. During a traumatic family emergency, the HVAC and sewer line needed to be replaced. Not only did Nick take the time to answer every question we had, but he went above and beyond to make certain we were given the care needed. As a real estate agent, I will be certain to recommend Rick Hartman Plumbing Inc. They have done a great job and have offered nothing but support from now onwards.

Excellent Customer Service Feb 18, 2024

Dan's Integrity & Work Ethic Feb 16, 2024

Dan Carpenter of Rick Hartman Plumbing was at my house this week to replace my hot water heater. He was here most of the day as it was a difficult space where the water heater was located. He worked hard for hours, never taking a break. He discovered additional problems that I wasn’t aware of and fixed them (leak near my laundry area, possible leak in bathroom pipes, toilets continuously running). He is returning next week to replace my shower head that is leaking as well as install isolation valves for the shower/toilet. During his time at my house, he heard me on the phone and realized that I was possibly being scammed by fraudulent people asking personal questions. He told me to hang up and call my bank. The bank advised me to take my computer to Geek Squad at Best Buy for a malware scan. I commend Dan for his integrity and work ethic. He was amazing during a difficult day. Going forward, I will be using Rick Hartman Plumbing as my go-to plumber.

Elaine Erny

Very satisfied with the work Feb 2, 2024

Great job updating the plumbing Feb 2, 2024

Nick and Steve did a great job updating the plumbing for my bathroom renovation on time and at a fair price for quality workmanship. 3rd time we have used them and highly recommend them.

Doug Deiss

Flexible Scheduling When Needed Jan 19, 2024

Big Stew

Professional and Reliable Plumber Jan 13, 2024

Nick is one of the most professional, reliable, and qualified plumbers that I have ever come across. The entire customer experience from the initial walk down, detailed estimate, execution, testing, labeling of the lines, clean-up of the work, etc., was 10+ for the large scope in the multi-family home (2 apartments), including running new water lines, adding drains for each bathroom, kitchen, washer and dryer, and adding new gas lines was exceptional. I cannot recommend enough Rick Hartman Plumbing for all your plumbing needs regardless of the size and scope of your project. Reliability, quality, excellent communication, and completion of work at fair prices are what you can expect at all times from Rick Hartman Plumbing every time!

Milo Krajnovic

Excellent Experience with RHP Jan 2, 2024

From start to finish, I had an excellent experience with Rick Hartman Plumbing. I had a few dripping and corroding copper pipes and fittings in my basement that needed to be replaced with PEX. Communication was great, Rick arrived on time, was very kind and detail-oriented, he explained everything to me in terms I could understand, and I’m very happy with the craftsmanship of his work. He was in and out of here in less than 3 hours, and my problem has been resolved. Pricing was fair and upfront, and I was able to pay with a debit card online. A very nice experience given the circumstances.

Steve is a rare gem. Dec 1, 2023

Steve was amazing! He's a perfectionist and was meticulous in every aspect of the job. He is passionate about his craft and very gifted. Wish there were more young men in the service industry like Steve. He's a rare gem.
