Reviews
Your basement isn’t flooding anymore. Your water heater’s running hot again. Your sewer line isn’t backing up into the house.
That’s what matters when you call an emergency plumber. Not the sales pitch. Not the brand story. Just the problem solved, the price you agreed to, and your day moving forward.
We handle burst pipes, clogged drains, sewer backups, water heater failures, and everything in between. You’ll know what it costs before we touch a wrench. Our trucks are stocked, so we’re not leaving mid-job to hunt down parts. And if you’re dealing with something that can wait until morning, we’ll tell you that too.
Point Pleasant homes deal with salt air corrosion, shifting soil, and aging infrastructure. We’ve seen it all. The pinhole leaks in copper pipes near the shore. The cast iron that’s finally given out. The sump pumps that quit right when you need them most. We know what breaks here and how to fix it so it lasts.
AME Plumbing Heating and Cooling is based in Monmouth County. We’re licensed, insured, and we’ve been fixing plumbing problems in Point Pleasant long enough to know which neighborhoods have what issues.
Older homes closer to the water? We’re replacing corroded copper. Newer developments inland? We’re dealing with builder-grade fixtures that didn’t hold up. Seasonal properties that sat empty all winter? We’re thawing frozen pipes and replacing cracked water heaters.
You’re not getting a national franchise or a call center in another state. You’re getting a local crew that understands coastal plumbing, shows up when we say we will, and charges exactly what we quoted. That’s it.
You call. We answer. No voicemail, no “we’ll get back to you.” If it’s a true emergency—burst pipe, sewer backup, no hot water—we’re heading your way within the hour.
When we arrive, we assess the problem and give you a flat-rate price before we start. Not an estimate. Not a range. The actual number. If you approve it, we get to work. If you don’t, we leave. No pressure, no games.
Most repairs happen on the spot because our trucks carry the parts we need. If it’s something bigger—like a full sewer line replacement—we’ll walk you through what’s involved, how long it takes, and what your options are. We’re not upselling you on things you don’t need. We’re fixing what’s broken.
Once the job’s done, we test everything, clean up, and make sure you understand what we did and why. You pay the price we quoted. That’s the whole process.

Burst pipes are common in Point Pleasant, especially during winter freezes or when old copper finally corrodes through. We shut off the water, replace the damaged section, and get your system running again. If the pipe’s in a wall or ceiling, we’ll access it carefully and patch it back up.
Sewer backups happen more often here because of the low-lying terrain and storm surges. We’ll clear the line, camera-inspect it if needed, and let you know if tree roots or a collapsed pipe are causing the issue. If it’s a bigger repair, we’ll explain your options—repair or replace—and what each costs.
Clogged drains and toilets get handled fast. We’ll snake the line or hydro-jet it if it’s stubborn. Water heaters that quit in the middle of winter get replaced same-day if that’s what you need. No hot water in a coastal winter isn’t something you should wait on.
We also handle gas leaks, broken sump pumps, and low water pressure issues. If it’s urgent and it’s plumbing, we’ll take care of it.
For true emergencies—burst pipes, sewer backups, gas leaks, no hot water—we’re typically on-site within 60 to 90 minutes. That’s our standard response time for Point Pleasant and the surrounding Monmouth County area.
We don’t make you wait on hold or deal with a call center. You call, we answer, and we’re heading your way. If it’s not a true emergency—like a slow drain or a dripping faucet—we’ll still get you scheduled fast, usually same-day or next-day depending on our availability.
We’re available 24/7, including weekends and holidays. Plumbing problems don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we.
No. We charge flat-rate pricing based on the job, not the time of day. You’ll get the same upfront price whether we’re there at 2 p.m. on a Tuesday or 2 a.m. on a Sunday.
A lot of plumbers charge double or triple for after-hours work. We don’t. The price we quote is the price you pay, period. No hidden fees, no surprise charges, no “emergency surcharges” tacked on at the end.
We believe you shouldn’t get penalized just because your pipe burst at midnight. You’re already dealing with enough stress. We’re not adding to it by inflating the bill.
Shut off your main water valve immediately. It’s usually located near your water meter, in the basement, or outside near the foundation. Turn it clockwise until it stops. This cuts off water to the whole house and stops the flooding.
If you can’t find the main valve or it won’t turn, shut off the valve closest to the burst pipe—under the sink, behind the toilet, or near the water heater. Then call us. We’ll walk you through anything else you need to do while we’re on the way.
Move anything valuable away from the water if you can do it safely. Don’t try to fix the pipe yourself with tape or clamps—that’s a temporary patch at best and usually makes the repair harder. Just stop the water and let us handle the rest.
It depends on what’s broken. A clogged drain might run a few hundred dollars. A burst pipe repair could be anywhere from $500 to $1,500 depending on location and damage. A full sewer line replacement is obviously more.
We give you the exact price before we start. You’ll know what it costs, what’s included, and what your options are. If there’s a cheaper way to fix it that still solves the problem, we’ll tell you. If you need a full replacement instead of a patch job, we’ll explain why.
We also offer financing if the repair is bigger than you budgeted for. And we have discounts available—$250 off water and sewer line repairs, $500 off replacements, 10% off for military and first responders, and $100 off new water heater installations.
Yes. Salt air corrosion is one of the most common issues we see in Point Pleasant, especially in homes closer to the water. Copper pipes develop pinhole leaks. Fixtures corrode faster. Even newer installations can deteriorate quicker than they would inland.
We’ll assess the damage and let you know if it’s a simple patch or if you need to replace a section of pipe. In some cases, switching to PEX or other corrosion-resistant materials makes sense for long-term durability. We’ll walk you through the pros and cons of each option.
If you’re seeing green staining around fixtures, low water pressure, or small leaks that seem to come out of nowhere, that’s usually corrosion. The sooner you address it, the less damage it causes. We’ve replaced plenty of corroded plumbing in coastal homes, and we know how to do it right so it lasts.
Yes. We’re fully licensed to perform plumbing work throughout Point Pleasant and New Jersey. Our technicians maintain current plumbing licenses, and we carry comprehensive liability insurance.
That means if something goes wrong—which it won’t, but if it did—you’re covered. You’re not hiring someone working out of a pickup truck with no insurance and no accountability. You’re hiring a legitimate, licensed plumbing company that’s been serving Monmouth County for years.
We also pull permits when required and make sure all work meets New Jersey plumbing codes. You won’t have issues down the road when you sell your house or file an insurance claim because the work wasn’t done to code. It’s done right the first time.
