You stop thinking about your pipes. That’s the goal here.
When your drains clear properly, your water heater keeps up with morning showers, and you’re not dealing with surprise leaks at 2 a.m., you get your time back. You’re not calling multiple plumbers for quotes or wondering if the fix will last through next month.
Most plumbing problems in Strathmore homes come down to aging infrastructure and Monmouth County’s iron-rich water. Both create buildup you can’t see until something backs up or bursts. A real fix addresses what’s happening inside your pipes, not just what’s visible from the outside.
You’ll know the job’s done right when you stop worrying about it. That’s what proper drain cleaning, water heater repair, and pipe work should give you—one less thing on your list.
AME Plumbing Heating and Cooling is based right here in Monmouth County. We’re licensed, insured, and we’ve seen what happens to pipes in this area—the mineral buildup, the older sewer lines, the water heaters that give out in winter.
Our team handles residential and commercial plumbing across Strathmore and surrounding towns. We’re available 24/7 for emergencies because burst pipes and sewer backups don’t wait for business hours.
You’ll get upfront pricing before we start. No hidden fees, no inflated emergency rates just because it’s a weekend. We use quality materials and modern equipment because shortcuts cost you more later.
You call or message us with the problem. If it’s an emergency plumber situation—burst pipe, major leak, sewer backup—we prioritize getting someone to you fast, often same-day.
When we arrive, we assess what’s actually wrong. Not what might be wrong or what could become wrong later. We locate the source, explain what we found, and tell you what it’ll cost to fix it. You approve the price before we touch anything.
Then we fix it. Drain cleaning, water heater repair, pipe replacement, whatever the job requires. We test everything before we leave and clean up the work area.
You get a clear invoice, information on any warranties, and a direct line if something doesn’t seem right. Most jobs are finished in one visit. Larger projects like sewer line work get scheduled with a clear timeline upfront.

We handle the full range of residential and commercial plumbing. That includes emergency plumber calls for burst pipes, major leaks, and sewer backups. Drain cleaning for kitchens, bathrooms, and main lines. Water heater repair and replacement when yours stops heating or starts leaking.
Strathmore’s older homes often need sewer line and water line work. Tree roots, shifting soil, and decades of use take their toll. We offer $250 off repairs and $500 off full replacements for water and sewer lines because we know these aren’t small expenses.
You’ll also find fixture installations, leak detection, pipe repairs, and preventive maintenance on our service list. We work on both traditional and modern plumbing systems.
If you’re military or a first responder, you get 10% off. New water heater installations come with $100 off. We offer financing options because plumbing emergencies rarely happen when your budget’s ready for them.
We offer same-day emergency service for situations like burst pipes, major leaks, and sewer backups. Response time depends on our current call volume and your exact location in Strathmore, but we prioritize emergencies and typically arrive within a few hours.
When you call with an emergency, we’ll give you an estimated arrival window. We don’t make you wait days for someone to show up when water’s flooding your basement or your main line is backing up.
If it’s not a true emergency—say, a slow drain or a water heater that’s acting up but still working—we’ll schedule you for the next available slot, usually within 24 to 48 hours. Either way, you’ll know when to expect us.
Monmouth County has iron-rich water, which means mineral deposits build up inside your pipes over time. Add in soap residue, hair, grease, and food particles, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for slow drains and clogs.
Older homes in Strathmore often have cast iron or galvanized pipes that corrode and narrow from the inside. You might not see it, but decades of buildup reduce your pipe diameter significantly. That’s why drain cleaning that worked five years ago might not cut it now.
Regular drain cleaning helps, but if you’re dealing with frequent backups, the real issue might be your pipe condition or your main sewer line. We can camera-inspect your lines to see what’s actually happening down there and recommend the right fix—whether that’s cleaning, repair, or replacement.
If your water heater is over 10 years old and showing problems, replacement usually makes more sense than repair. Frequent leaks, rust-colored water, strange noises, or inconsistent heating are all signs it’s near the end.
For newer units, issues like a faulty thermostat, heating element, or pressure valve can often be repaired at a reasonable cost. We’ll assess your specific situation and tell you honestly whether repair or replacement is the better investment.
Strathmore’s hard water accelerates sediment buildup in tanks, which reduces efficiency and lifespan. If you’ve never flushed your water heater, that sediment is likely causing some of your problems. Sometimes a flush and minor repair can buy you a few more years. Sometimes it’s too far gone. We’ll let you know which one you’re dealing with.
No. You get the same upfront pricing whether you call us at 2 p.m. or 2 a.m.
A lot of plumbing companies inflate their rates for nights, weekends, and holidays. We don’t. Emergency plumbing is stressful enough without worrying about getting price-gouged because your pipe burst on a Sunday.
You’ll get a clear estimate before we start any work, regardless of when you call. The price is based on the job itself—what needs to be fixed and what materials are required—not what time it is when your plumbing fails.
We start by identifying where the clog is and what’s causing it. For most clogs, we use professional-grade snakes or hydro-jetting equipment to clear the blockage completely—not just punch a hole through it like a basic snake does.
Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the inside of your pipes, removing buildup, grease, and debris. It’s especially effective for main line clogs and recurring drain problems. For simpler clogs in sinks or tubs, mechanical snaking usually does the job.
If we suspect a bigger issue—like a damaged pipe, root intrusion, or severe corrosion—we’ll recommend a camera inspection. That shows us exactly what’s happening inside your lines. You’ll see the footage too, so you understand what you’re dealing with. Then we’ll discuss your options: cleaning, repair, or replacement, depending on what the camera reveals.
Yes. Every plumber on our team is licensed and insured, and we’re fully compliant with New Jersey plumbing codes.
Licensing matters because it means we’ve met the state’s training and testing requirements. Insurance matters because it protects you if something goes wrong during the job. You shouldn’t have to worry about liability when you’re just trying to fix a leak.
We also guarantee our work. If something we installed or repaired isn’t performing the way it should, we’ll come back and make it right. You’ll get documentation of our licensing and insurance if you ask for it—we have nothing to hide and no reason not to show you proof.
