You’re not calling three different companies to fix three different problems. You’re not wondering if that slow drain is about to become a flooded basement. And you’re definitely not getting hit with surprise charges after the work’s done.
When your plumbing system runs the way it should, you get your time back. No emergency calls at 2 a.m. No standing water in the yard. No guessing whether your water heater will make it through winter.
That’s what reliable plumbing looks like. Everything drains. Everything heats. Everything works. And when something doesn’t, you know exactly who to call and what it’ll cost before anyone picks up a wrench.
AME Plumbing Heating and Cooling has been serving Monmouth County homeowners for years. We’re licensed, insured, and based right here in the area—not a call center two states over.
Colts Neck homes deal with specific challenges. Older properties with aging pipes. Coastal humidity that accelerates corrosion. Freezing temps that turn a small crack into a burst pipe overnight. We’ve seen it all, and we know how to fix it right the first time.
You’ll work with the same crew from start to finish. No subcontractors. No surprises. Just straightforward plumbing work done by people who live and work in the same county you do.
First, you call or message us with the problem. We ask a few questions to understand what’s going on—whether it’s an emergency plumber situation or something that can wait a day or two.
Then we schedule a time that works for you. If it’s urgent, we’re available 24/7. If it’s not, we’ll find a window that doesn’t mess up your week.
When we arrive, we assess the issue and give you an upfront price before any work starts. No hidden fees. No “we’ll figure it out as we go.” You know the cost, the timeline, and what we’re doing before we do it.
Once you approve, we get to work. We use quality materials and modern equipment to handle everything from drain cleaning to water heater repair to burst pipe repair. When we’re done, we test everything, clean up, and walk you through what we did.

We cover the full scope of residential plumbing. That means drain cleaning when your sinks or tubs back up. Water heater repair or replacement when you’re running out of hot water. Burst pipe repair when freezing temps cause a crack or full break.
We also handle sewer and water line work—both repairs and full replacements. If tree roots have invaded your sewer line or your main water line is leaking under the yard, we’ve got the equipment and experience to fix it without tearing up your entire property.
In Colts Neck, where many homes sit on larger lots with older infrastructure, sewer and water line issues are more common than people think. We use modern diagnostic tools to pinpoint problems fast, and we offer $250 off repairs or $500 off replacements to make the work more manageable.
And if you’re military or a first responder, you get 10% off. If you need a new water heater installed, that’s $100 off. We’re not trying to upsell you—we’re trying to keep your home running without breaking your budget.
We offer 24/7 emergency service, which means we’re available nights, weekends, and holidays. Response time depends on where you’re located in Colts Neck and what else is happening that day, but most emergency calls get a same-day response—often within a few hours.
When you call with an emergency, we prioritize based on severity. A burst pipe flooding your basement gets immediate attention. A leaking faucet that can wait until morning gets scheduled accordingly.
If you’re dealing with active water damage, shut off your main water valve if you can and call us right away. The faster we can stop the water, the less damage you’ll deal with overall.
It’s a real price, not a ballpark. Once we assess the problem in person, we give you the actual cost before we start any work. That’s what you’ll pay—no surprise charges, no “unforeseen complications” that double the bill.
The only time pricing changes is if you ask us to do additional work we didn’t originally discuss, or if we uncover a separate issue that needs attention. In those cases, we stop, explain what we found, and give you a new price before moving forward.
We’ve all heard the horror stories about plumbers who quote one thing and charge another. That’s not how we operate. You approve the price, then we do the work. Simple as that.
First, shut off your main water valve. It’s usually located near your water meter or where the main line enters your house. Turning it off stops the flow and limits the damage.
Next, turn off your water heater to prevent it from overheating or bursting if the cold water supply is cut off. Then move anything valuable away from the water and start soaking up what you can with towels or a wet vac.
After that, call us. We’ll get there as fast as we can to assess the damage, repair or replace the broken section, and get your water back on. Burst pipes don’t fix themselves, and the longer water sits, the worse the damage gets—so speed matters.
If your water heater is less than 10 years old and the issue is something like a faulty thermostat, heating element, or pressure valve, a repair usually makes sense. Those fixes are straightforward and cost-effective.
If your unit is over 10 years old, leaking from the tank itself, or constantly needing repairs, replacement is the smarter move. Older water heaters lose efficiency, and a leaking tank can’t be repaired—it has to be replaced before it floods your basement or utility room.
We’ll assess your specific situation and give you honest advice. If a repair buys you a few more years, we’ll tell you. If you’re throwing money at a dying unit, we’ll tell you that too. Right now, we’re offering $100 off new water heater installations to make replacement more affordable.
Store-bought drain cleaners are harsh chemicals that sometimes clear surface clogs, but they don’t address the root cause. If your drain keeps clogging, there’s likely a buildup of grease, soap scum, hair, or even tree roots further down the line that those chemicals can’t reach.
Repeated use of chemical cleaners can also damage your pipes over time, especially if you have older plumbing. The chemicals eat away at buildup, but they also corrode pipe interiors, which can lead to leaks or breaks down the road.
Professional drain cleaning uses tools like drain snakes or hydro jetting to physically remove blockages and buildup. It’s more effective, longer-lasting, and safer for your pipes. If you’re dealing with recurring clogs, it’s time to call someone who can actually fix the problem instead of masking it.
Yes. We’re fully licensed and insured to perform plumbing work throughout Monmouth County, including Colts Neck. That means we meet New Jersey’s requirements for training, safety, and compliance—and you’re protected if anything goes wrong.
Hiring an unlicensed plumber might save you money upfront, but it puts you at risk. If they damage your property or do substandard work, you have no recourse. If they get hurt on your property, you could be liable.
When you hire AME Plumbing, you’re working with professionals who carry the proper credentials and insurance. That’s not just a safety net for us—it’s peace of mind for you.
