When a pipe lets go behind a wall, a water heater stops producing, or a drain backs up at the worst possible moment, the question is simple: who can get here and fix it? Schneider's Plumbing & Heating handles that call for Abington Township, covering everything from a dripping faucet or a running toilet to a full sewer line replacement or a whole-home repipe. The work spans residential and commercial plumbing, and it gets scoped and priced before anything is opened up.
Abington Township carries a substantial housing stock built across several decades, which means the plumbing inside those homes reflects that history. Galvanized supply lines, aging cast-iron drain stacks, and sewer laterals that have been in the ground for a long time are common calls in a city this size. We handle all of it, and same-day plumbing service is available when the situation will not wait.
When you call, a plumber is dispatched to your address. You get a price before any work begins, and that price reflects what the job actually involves. For urgent calls, including burst pipes, flooded basements, or a complete loss of hot water, we move those to the front. Same-day plumbing service is available for Abington Township, and the goal is to have a plumber at your door the same day you call.
For planned work, we schedule at a time that suits the property. If a rental unit is occupied, we work around the tenant. If a business property needs attention without shutting down operations, we talk through how to sequence the work before the visit so access and disruption are managed from the start. The appointment is confirmed before we arrive, and we tell you who is coming.
We are available every day from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Pick up the phone and we'll get moving.
The job gets scoped before a wrench comes out. That means a plumber assesses what is happening, identifies what needs to come apart to reach the fault, and gives you a rate that covers the work as described. You know what you are paying for before anything is scheduled.
What moves a quote is what the job actually turns out to be. A slow drain that clears with a snake is a different job from one that turns out to have a cracked line behind the wall. A water heater that needs a new element is different from one that has corroded through and needs full replacement. We explain the difference on site and give you an updated price before we proceed. No pressure and no gimmicks, just sound, lasting plumbing and a straight answer on what it costs.

A restaurant kitchen with a blocked drain, a retail property with a failed water heater, or a multi-unit building with a sewer backup cannot wait for a convenient window. We work around trading hours and occupancy. If a full isolation is not possible, a partial shutoff to the affected zone often is, and we confirm that approach before arriving so the rest of the property stays operational.
For property managers handling multiple units, we coordinate the visit around tenants and confirm access in advance. Experienced plumbers on every callout means the work is assessed and handled by someone who knows how to scope a commercial or multi-unit job accurately, not just a residential repair scaled up.
Before booking anything, the plumbing services page is worth a read.
Not every call looks the same, and what a visit involves depends on what the property has and what has gone wrong. A fault-finding call on an older home is a different job from a planned installation in a property that is being updated. A sewer backup in a single-family home is handled differently from a drain issue in a commercial kitchen that has been building up over years.
A hidden leak behind a wall, a drain that backs up without warning, or a water heater that stops producing are all fault calls. The work starts with finding the source, and in older Abington Township housing that can mean pressure-testing supply lines, running a camera through a sewer lateral, or checking a shutoff valve that has not been exercised in years. The repair follows once the cause is confirmed.
When a system is past repair, or when a property owner is updating aging infrastructure, the work is planned in advance. Whole-home repiping, sewer line replacement, and water heater replacement all fall here. We scope the job on the first visit, give you a price, and schedule the work so the property is without water for the shortest time necessary.
A bathroom renovation, a kitchen update, or a new appliance that needs a plumbing connection are installation calls. These get scheduled with the project timeline in mind. The full service breakdown is on the service page, which covers what each type of installation involves and what to expect on the day.
From a single fixture to a main line, the following are the jobs that come up regularly in a city this size, and what each one actually involves.
A toilet that rocks, leaks at the base, or has a cracked bowl is a replacement job. We remove the old unit, check the flange condition, reset the wax seal, and install the new toilet with the supply line connected and tested. A toilet that has shifted off its seal without cracking can sometimes be reseated rather than replaced, and we assess that on the visit.
A tankless unit heats water on demand rather than holding a stored tank, which suits households with high or variable hot water demand. Installation involves connecting the cold supply, the hot outlet, and the gas line or electrical supply depending on the unit type. We confirm the existing supply lines and venting are compatible before the unit goes in.
A toilet that runs continuously is usually a worn flapper, a failing fill valve, or a float that is no longer calibrated correctly. Left unaddressed, the wasted water adds up on the bill. We diagnose which component is failing, replace it, and confirm the fill cycle is operating correctly before leaving.
A new sink or vanity involves connecting the supply lines, setting the drain, and confirming there are no leaks at the P-trap or the shutoff valves below. In older Abington Township homes, the shutoff valves under a sink are sometimes the original ones and may need replacement before a new fixture goes in. We check those as part of the installation.
Backflow prevention, garbage disposal installation, and shutoff valve replacement are handled the same way: scoped on the visit, priced before work begins, and tested before we leave. We test every fixture. We check every valve. We leave it dry.

Communities we serve include:
With a local shop, your questions go straight to the people doing the work. Call (267) 645-6289 and we will confirm coverage at your address before anything is scheduled.
Yes, and it shapes the visit from the start. Homes built several decades ago often have galvanized supply lines that have corroded internally, cast-iron drain stacks that are showing their age, and sewer laterals made from clay or older materials that root intrusion has worked into over the years. When a plumber arrives at an older property, the assessment accounts for what the original construction was likely to have used, which makes it easier to find the fault accurately and price the repair correctly.
A standard whole-home repipe addresses the supply side, meaning the lines that carry water to your fixtures. Drain lines are a separate system and are handled as a distinct scope of work. We can assess both and price them separately if both need attention.
We confirm access and timing before the visit so tenants are not caught off guard, and we work around occupancy where the job allows. For a repair that requires a building-wide shutoff, we talk through the sequence in advance so the interruption is as short as possible. The job is scoped and priced before any work begins, which makes it straightforward to communicate the plan to tenants and building owners alike.
Yes. If a renovation is in progress and the plumbing needs to happen in sequence with other work, we can coordinate on timing. Let us know the situation when you call and we will work out a schedule that fits.
Yes. Commercial kitchens have heavier demands on their drain lines, grease traps, and water heaters than a standard residential setup, and we account for that when we scope the work. We price the job before anything starts, the same way we do for any other call.
The plumber will let you know what was found and give you a price for addressing it before doing any additional work. You decide whether to handle it during the same visit or schedule it separately.
It is possible, though it involves extending or rerouting drain, vent, and supply lines to the new location. The scope depends on how far the new room is from the existing stack and what is in the way. We can assess the layout and give you a price before any work is planned.
In most homes it is near where the supply line enters the building, which is typically in the basement, a utility room, or near the water meter. Older homes sometimes have the shutoff in less obvious locations. If you are not sure where yours is, it is worth finding it before an emergency makes it urgent.
We are available every day from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Calls that come in during those hours are handled the same way regardless of the time of day. Pricing is confirmed before any work begins, so you know what the visit covers before we schedule.
Drains that run clear. Faucets that don't drip. Pipes that hold. Whether it is a fault that needs finding, a fixture that needs replacing, or a sewer line that has finally given out, Schneider's Plumbing & Heating is available every day from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Call (267) 645-6289 and we will come and deal with it.

From a clogged drain to a full sewer line replacement, we handle the plumbing work that keeps homes and businesses in Abington Township running. The table below covers what each service includes, who it is best suited for, and a practical note to help you decide what to call about first. When you are ready, one call gets a plumber to your door and the job scoped before any work begins.
| Service Type | Scope of Work | Typical Situations | Things to Keep in Mind |
|---|---|---|---|
| Water Pressure & Shutoff Valve Repair |
| older homes with low pressure or valves that will not fully close | Low pressure throughout the home usually traces to a failing pressure regulator or a corroded valve, both common in older Abington Township housing stock. We diagnose the source and replace what is needed. |
| Drain Cleaning & Clog Removal |
| homeowners with slow or stopped drains | A clog that keeps coming back usually points to the main line, not the fixture. Hydro jetting clears buildup that a snake only punches through. |
| Sewer Line Replacement |
| homes with recurring sewer backups or a damaged lateral confirmed by camera | Freeze-thaw cycles shift soil every winter in Montgomery County, which stresses joints in older clay and cast-iron laterals. Trenchless options are available where the site allows, reducing disruption to the yard. |
| Water Heater Repair & Replacement |
| households with no hot water, inconsistent temperature, or an aging unit | A tank that runs out faster than it used to often has sediment buildup or a failing element. If the tank itself is leaking, replacement is usually the practical path. The job is scoped and priced before a wrench comes out. |
| Whole-Home Repiping |
| mid-century homes with rust-colored water, pinhole leaks, or persistent low pressure | Galvanized pipe corrodes from the inside out over time. When repairs become a pattern rather than a fix, a full repipe restores clean water and reliable pressure at every fixture. The job is scoped and priced before any pipe is cut. |
| Emergency Plumbing |
| urgent situations that cannot wait for a scheduled appointment | Same-day plumbing service is available. Call as soon as the problem appears. Shutting off the main supply valve before we arrive limits water damage while you wait. |
| Leak Detection & Repair |
| anyone with unexplained water damage or a rising water bill | Catching a hidden leak early limits drywall, flooring, and structural damage. Pressure testing and moisture detection help us find it without opening more of the structure than necessary. |
| Garbage Disposal Service |
| kitchens with a failing or new disposal to install | Most disposal problems are either a jam, a failed motor, or a leak at the drain connection. We assess on the visit and recommend repair or replacement based on the unit's condition. |
| Faucet & Fixture Installation |
| renovation projects and worn or dripping fixtures | A dripping faucet rarely stays a small drip. New fixture installation during a remodel needs a licensed plumber to rough in and finish connections to code. |
| Sump Pump & Basement Drainage |
| Abington Township homeowners with older basements or a history of water intrusion | A sump pump that fails during a nor'easter can flood a basement within hours. We install new units, replace failing ones, and service the discharge lines that carry water away from the foundation. |
| Sewer & Main Line Service |
| homes with slow fixtures throughout or sewage odor | Gurgling drains, slow fixtures in multiple rooms, and sewage odor at floor drains are all signs the main line needs attention. A camera inspection shows exactly what is inside the pipe before we recommend a fix. |
| Toilet Repair & Installation |
| homeowners with a running, leaking, or failing toilet | A worn flapper or fill valve wastes water continuously and shows up on the water bill. Most toilet repairs are straightforward. Replacement makes more sense when internal components are too far gone to hold a reliable fix. |
