MATT MERTZ
PLUMBING , INC .
A Plumber Who ’ s Like Family
Since 2004 , fourth generation master plumber Matt Mertz has been fixing the drips across the region .
A family-owned and operated company that has grown to 42 employees , it ’ s one of the few places where you can call for help when you need it and will probably get owner Matt , or his wife , Lisa , on the line to help you directly .
“ We ’ re very customer oriented and down to earth ,” Lisa says . “ If you call after hours for emergency service , you ’ re either going to get Matt or myself picking up the phone , and that ’ s something our customers appreciate about us .”
As a North Hills company , and a North Hills resident , Matt Mertz also has a strong devotion to the community that supports him . He recently made a generous donation to the North Hills wrestling team , and supports the community at large in similar ways .
And while the company does appreciable business with commercial plumbing , residential plumbing is still the daily “ bread and butter ” for Matt Mertz Plumbing .
“ We handle anything and everything , from a drippy faucet to toilet replacement to a full utility line replacement and more ,” says Lisa . “ We ’ re certified , insured and bonded . We have our own equipment and do all jobs personally ourselves . You ’ re not going
to find subcontractors working on our jobs , which allows us to keep our prices affordable for our customers .”
One of the more unique services offered by Matt Mertz Plumbing is trenchless sewer replacement , which can save homeowners thousands of dollars on sewer line work . The process essentially threads an inner sleeve through a failing sewer line . Once installed , the sleeve is inflated and steam cured , creating a hardened new pipe within the old , broken pipe . The work carries a lifetime guarantee and avoids the need for people to dig up their yards or break through concrete driveways and sidewalks — work that can easily rack up expense and create eyesores . What ’ s more , many communities require that sewer lines be functioning and intact upon selling a home , so these repairs can come at inopportune times when time is of the essence .
“ Not many companies can offer this type of work , and it can reduce repair times immeasurably for the homeowner ,” Lisa notes . “ Sewers can be 10 feet deep at times , and people may need to dig up to 50 feet of line . They may need to get a municipal bond and road workers to direct traffic if their line goes under a roadway , which requires money and permits . Trenchless replacement can do the same work in a few hours .”
What ’ s more , the liner is a complete , form-fitted solution . There are no joints that can weaken over time and no places for tree roots to infiltrate to cause future headaches . Once in place , homeowners don ’ t have to worry about using special drain cleaners or plumbing techniques — they can still use their off-the shelf products to clear any clogs or buildup .
Matt Mertz Plumbing offers 24 / 7 emergency service , Saturday and Sunday service , and is top notch when it comes to insurance work , dealing directly with the insurance companies so you don ’ t have to .
