North Side Plumbing & Heating North Side Plumbing & Heating Co., Inc. has been doing business in the Fort Wayne community for over 80 years. In 1929, John R. Hartman knew that the Great Depression didn't stop pipes from bursting or drains from clogging, and he believed that the Fort Wayne area needed a plumbing company that offered quality service at an affordable price.

He began his business by operating out of a tool box and traveling by trolley, but as business grew, he moved into the back of his grandmother's grocery store at the corner of State and Clinton streets. While the grocery store has disappeared, the business has not, and it has remained in its same location for over eight decades.

These people are probably the most in demand plumbers in the area. I don't live in Fort Wayne, and I still call them because of the trust I have in their work. I've used them every time I need a plumber now for well over 15 years. Their parts department is very well stocked with hard to find older parts, as is their trucks, and the employees have knowledge that a lot of people like to use, that kind of knowledge which takes time to pass along, and at the counter, which slows down commerce.

It happens. For my last experience, I waited most of a week to get a guy out to look at my issue, then it was almost 3 weeks till they could start work, THEY ARE IN HEAVY DEMAND. Again, it happens. It was a whole week of jackhammering, digging, and repairing and cementing my slab. But I now have full confidence in what will not be happening in the next 20 years.

To me they are utterly trustworthy. If you look down through the reviews, you will see that they are either 5 Star or 1 star. A few 2 star. Whenever I see none in the middle, it is almost always miscommunication, or someone offended. It is not the quality of work that they are grading on.

On May 26, 2022 I had a representative come out to quote a project for work. As of June 10, 2022 the location has not sent me a quote for work at all. I called the location and was told when the associate answered the phone "This guy is good at getting his quotes out" - That was on June 8, 2022. You would think a customer calling in wanting work done a business would be on the ball and getting in touch, and following through.

That is not the case because I have yet to receive a call back from Northside Plumbing about my quote. If a business cannot get a simple quote out to you as a customer it really makes you wonder "IF" I hired them would they even show up. I do not recommend using Northside Plumbing all. They do not appear to adhere to the standards they claim on the website about honesty, integrity, and dependability. Well as a potential customer I can for one say they are certainly falling short on being Dependable.

First of all, WOW! This company is amazing. I called on Tuesday, and was told that it would be about a week for them to come out, which was PERFECTLY fine! I'm happy that they have so much business. A day after calling, they called me and said someone can get sent out to look at what needs fixed and legit they were here in 30 minutes. Leroy ended up fixing our leak in our bathtub and he was amazing!

He was very informative and very knowledgeable. I am so thankful he was the one to come out and get work done on our house! I will NEVER use any other plumbing company besides North side plumbing. Leroy cleaned up every single piece of his mess (no joke, did not leave a single piece of dirt on the floor) and was so kind the whole time! We thought our repairs would cost thousands, and it was only two hundred dollars. Very amazing company!

Have always had excellent service, but today after spending the weekend with plugged drains in my one bathroom house, I will definitely change to a new company. Was told it would be one week out before they could get to me! Sorry I need bathroom facilities.

Critical: Professionalism North Side Plumbing and Heating stated the cost to install a soft water conditioner is "probably" $1,000. What does this tell prospective customers?

I have used North side several times now and always been happy with them. Most recently they came out for a custom tile shower that was leaking and about 20 years old. We ended up completely renovating the bathroom with the extent of the damage. We are extremely happy with their work. These are some of the most honest and genuine folks I've met and wonderful with follow up service. I will be contacting them for any issue I may have in the future.

Very grateful for our experience with North Side - called for a clog issue affecting our half bath, and they were able to get someone out to us within a couple days. Due to the nature of the problem, two of their employees (John & Leroy) came and worked on it and were able to get it fixed. Both were excellent at explaining the process and gave advice on preventing future issues. Would 10/10 recommend!

Called on a Wednesday for sump pump problem, they initially said would be Thursday at the earliest, more likely Friday. Called back 5 minutes later, had a cancellation & could come right away. Showed, fixed the issue within 45 minutes. I've used Northside several times in the past and have always been pleased. Service: Outdoor system repair

We could not be more pleased with the quality of service we received from Northside. They had to replace almost all of our drainage pipes and our home us on a slab. They were very careful not to damage anything. They even tunneled beside a built-in cupboard we had and tunneled under it to get to the pipe. They tunneled under the bathtub and under our hall.

They were very friendly, professional, hard workers. They did not waste any time on the job. Even when they had to concrete the trenches after the new pipe was laid, they hand carried buckets into our home and scooped the concrete out by hand. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND them.

I called for plumbing service. Between getting a quote and scheduling a service, I told 3 different people that I needed work done on a mobile home, they all told me that wasn't a problem. I missed work so that I could meet the plumber there.

The professional plumbers here are amazing and helpful. Skip the box store and talk to a professional plumber. I spent 30 bucks and wasted an hour at Lowes getting advice from a plumbing expert who gave me bad advice along with the wrong stuff.

WOW - Fast and very friendly. My wife found them in the phone book, called and they said they had someone in the area working - next thing I know the door bell rang! Thank you for being honest and FAST!

We worked with Matt R. this afternoon. He installed a new water heater. He was very friendly and efficient at getting the job done. We got a quote over the phone before this was done, and sure enough, that's all that was owed.

You get what you pay for, they might charge a little more but well worth the money spent! High quality experience.

Best Plumbers in the Fort Wayne area. I recently finished my basement. I had them come in to quote putting in my full bath and bar sink. They came out gave a free estimate that turned out to be the lowest of all three I had quote.
