About Acme Plumbing
Licensed, local, and on call around the clock for Philadelphia.
Acme Plumbing started with a single truck and a simple promise: answer the phone, show up when we say we will, and quote the price before we pick up a wrench. Two decades later that promise still runs the company. We've grown into a team of licensed plumbers serving all of Philadelphia and the surrounding metro — Center City rowhomes, South Jersey split-levels, Main Line estates, and commercial kitchens alike — but every job still gets the same straight answer and the same flat-rate quote up front. Our plumbers are W-2 employees, not subcontractors, so the person who shows up at your door is accountable to the name on the truck. We're licensed, insured, and available around the clock, and most of our work comes from customers sending us their neighbors, their landlords, and their family. That's the only metric we care about.
What we believe
Upfront, flat-rate pricing
You see the price before we start, and it doesn't change unless the job changes. No per-hour meter, no inflated overtime for nights or weekends, no surprises on the invoice.
Answer the phone, 24/7
A real person picks up day or night. When water is where it shouldn't be, you don't get a voicemail — you get a plumber on the way and honest guidance while you wait.
Fix it right, guaranteed
Repairs carry a written 1-year labor warranty; installs add the manufacturer's warranty plus our 2-year labor warranty. If our work doesn't hold, we come back and make it right.
What our customers say
"Water heater died on a Sunday night and Acme had a plumber at our Fishtown place within the hour. Quoted the price up front, replaced it same night, and cleaned everything up. Lifesavers."
"We'd had three plumbers snake the same kitchen drain over two years. Acme ran a camera, found roots in the lateral, hydro-jetted it, and it hasn't backed up since. Finally someone who found the actual problem."
"Honest and fast. They found a slab leak with their thermal camera instead of tearing up the whole floor, fixed it in an afternoon, and the bill matched the estimate to the dollar."
