SPONSORED CONTENT BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT SPONSORED CONTENT MATT MERTZ PLUMBING, INC. S A Plumber Who’s Like Family ince 2004, fourth generation master plumber Matt Mertz has been fixing the drips across the region. A family-owned and operated company that has grown to 42 employees, it’s one of the few places where you can call for help when you need it and will probably get owner Matt, or his wife, Lisa, on the line to help you directly. “We’re very customer oriented and down to earth,” Lisa says. “If you call after hours for emergency service, you’re either going to get Matt or myself picking up the phone, and that’s something our customers appreciate about us.” As a North Hills company, and a North Hills resident, Matt Mertz also has a strong devotion to the community that supports him. He recently made a generous donation to the North Hills wrestling team, and supports the community at large in similar ways. And while the company does appreciable business with commercial plumbing, residential plumbing is still the daily “bread and butter” for Matt Mertz Plumbing. “We handle anything and everything, from a drippy faucet to process essentially threads an inner sleeve through a failing sewer line. Once installed, the sleeve is inflated and steam cured, creating a hardened new pipe within the old, broken pipe. The work carries a lifetime guarantee and avoids the need for people to dig up their yards or break through concrete driveways and sidewalks — work that can easily rack up expense and create eyesores. What’s more, many communities require that sewer lines be functioning and intact upon selling a home, so these repairs can come at inopportune times when time is of the essence. “Not many companies can offer this type of work, and it can reduce repair times immeasurably for the homeowner,” Lisa notes. “Sewers can be 10 feet deep at times, and people may need to dig up to 50 feet of line. They may need to get a BEFORE toilet replacement to a full utility line replacement and more,” says Lisa. “We’re certified, insured and bonded. We have our own equipment and do all jobs personally ourselves. You’re not going to find subcontractors working on our jobs, which allows us to keep our prices affordable for our customers.” One of the more unique services offered by Matt Mertz Plumbing is trenchless sewer replacement, which can save homeowners thousands of dollars on sewer line work.
