Plumbing Repair in Pittsburgh, PA
Fourth-Generation Plumbers Ready To Help
Plumbing problems rarely stay small for long. A slow drip under the sink can turn into cabinet damage. A damp basement floor can signal a line issue that keeps spreading. A toilet that runs all night wastes water and raises stress when all you want is a quiet home. When something feels off with your plumbing, you need clear answers and a local team that knows how to step in without making the situation harder.
Rick Hartman Plumbing provides plumbing repair for homeowners across Pittsburgh and surrounding areas. As a fourth-generation plumbing company, we focus on residential systems and the real-world problems that show up in older homes, finished basements, and busy households. Our licensed plumbers show up prepared, explain what they find, and complete repairs with care for your home and your time.

Our team answers the phone 24/7. When you call, we listen carefully to what you are seeing, hearing, or smelling. We help you decide whether the issue needs immediate attention or can wait safely. If service is needed, we give you a realistic arrival window and stay in touch so you know what to expect.

Plumbing Repairs We Complete for Pittsburgh Homes
Residential plumbing systems include many interconnected parts, and problems can appear in different ways depending on the age and layout of the home. Our plumbers handle repair calls every day involving both visible issues and hidden concerns.
We repair leaks from pipes, valves, and fixtures in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry areas, and basements. If you notice dripping faucets, water stains, damp cabinets, or unexplained moisture, we track down the source and address it directly.
Toilet problems also drive many service calls. We repair toilets that run constantly, clog repeatedly, fail to flush properly, or overflow. Drain issues range from slow sinks and tubs to recurring backups that affect multiple fixtures. When main sewer lines cause trouble, we take extra steps to protect lower levels and finished spaces.
Some repairs involve safety considerations. Our licensed plumbers handle residential gas line plumbing for appliances and visible piping. We also perform required backflow testing for properties that need it, helping protect household water quality.
We focus exclusively on residential plumbing repair rather than new construction. That focus allows us to bring our full attention to homes where people live, work, and rely on their plumbing every day.

Plumbing Repair Experience Built for Pittsburgh Homes
Homes throughout Pittsburgh present unique plumbing challenges. Many properties feature older piping, layered renovations, and basements that play an active role in daily living. Small plumbing issues in these spaces can escalate quickly if left unresolved.
Cold winters add another layer of stress. Freezing and thawing cycles strain exposed pipes and lines running through unheated areas. We see the results each year and understand how to address damage while helping reduce the risk of repeat problems.
Our familiarity with local housing styles, building practices, and plumbing requirements allows us to recommend repairs that make sense for homes in this area. Working with a local team means working with people who understand what Pittsburgh homes deal with over time.
