Plumbing is the first thing Media homeowners look for, so it leads. Heating and cooling follow. Every card links to the full service page.
Plumbing
Plumbing Repair and Leak Detection
Older supply lines, a stain spreading across a plaster ceiling, a meter that spins when every tap is off. We find the leak, repair the section, or repipe in copper or PEX when the original lines are worn through.
Water Heater Installation, Repair, and Replacement
Water heater repair in Media, PA when the hot water runs short or turns rusty, and water heater installation when the tank is leaking or past its 8 to 12 years. We size tank and tankless units for the household and haul the old one away.
Emergency Plumber in Media
A pipe lets go at night, a toilet overflows, or sewage comes up the basement drain. Call the main line by day or 610-637-7585 after hours; emergencies can often be seen the same day.
Drains, Toilets, Kitchen, and Bath
Clog removal, running toilets, disposals, faucets, and the fixture work that goes with updating an old bathroom.
Sump Pumps and Water Lines
New sump pumps, battery backups, and repair or replacement of the water line from the curb into the house.
Water Filtration and Softening
Whole-house filtration and softener systems for homeowners who want better water at every tap.
Heating and Cooling
HVAC Installation and Repair
Furnaces, boilers, central air, and heat pumps, repaired when it’s worth it and replaced when it isn’t. As an HVAC contractor in Media, PA we size equipment for the house in front of us, and the price is agreed before the work begins.
Heat Pump Repair and Service
Heat pumps that won’t defrost, won’t keep up, or run without stopping. We repair them, service them each season, and replace the ones that have given all they have.
Air Conditioning Service
Warm air, weak airflow, a loud condenser. We repair central AC and install new systems when the old one has had its run.
Ductless Mini-Splits
Media’s radiator houses can get cooling without ductwork. One quiet head per room, no plaster torn open.
HVAC Maintenance
A cooling check before summer and a heating check before winter, with the reminder mailed to you.
Emergency HVAC
No heat on a January night or no AC in a heat wave is urgent, and we treat it that way.
Plumbing and HVAC Needs in Media Homes
The borough is small, but 19063 reaches into six surrounding townships and two smaller boroughs. Here’s what shapes the plumbing and HVAC work across that stretch.
Victorian Streets With Victorian Pipes
Media’s three local historic districts, Court House Square, Lemon Street, and the Providence Friends’ Meeting House area, date to a 1975 borough ordinance. Exterior changes visible from the street need a certificate of appropriateness from the borough’s historical review board.
Roughly a quarter of borough homes were built before 1940, and more than a third between 1940 and 1969. Inside those walls that means galvanized supply lines, cast iron drains, and radiator heat. We repipe, keep old boilers safe, and add ductless cooling without new ductwork, placing the outdoor unit out of view wherever the house allows.
Apartments and Rowhomes Share More Than a Wall
Single-family detached houses are a minority in the borough. By one estimate roughly four in ten Media homes are in apartment complexes and another quarter are townhomes or rowhomes, with most residents renting.
A leak in a rowhome or a stacked flat travels, and a water heater or mini-split has to fit the space the building gives it. We work neatly in tight mechanical closets and leave the neighbors dry.
Aqua Water, and the Line That's Yours
The borough ran its own water system from 1855 until 1995, when it sold to the company that became Aqua Pennsylvania. Aqua’s Ridley Creek plant now supplies Media and the townships around it.
Aqua owns the pipe to the curb. The service line from there to your basement belongs to you. If it’s old, leaking, or losing pressure, we can inspect it and replace it.
Ridley Creek and the 2021 Floods
When the remnants of Hurricane Ida came through in September 2021, more than 100 homes in the township next door were severely damaged by floodwater, and some were destroyed. If your basement sits anywhere near Ridley Creek, a sump pump with a battery backup belongs on your list before the next storm.
Why Media Homeowners Choose Wendig
The same family has owned Wendig since 1984, and one of us answers your call. Our technicians hold Master Plumbing and Mechanical certifications, and they keep training as the equipment changes.
Nobody here works on commission. You’ll get a free estimate, a straight explanation, and the room to decide without a pitch. Larger replacements can be financed in monthly payments through Hearth.
Media’s older housing is the local reason. Cast iron, galvanized pipe, and boilers reward experience, and we’ve spent four decades on exactly those systems. One company for plumbing and HVAC also means the plumber who repiped your kitchen knows where everything runs when the boiler needs work.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find a plumber in Media, PA who will come out quickly?
Call (610) 431-0621. A member of our family answers, and we’ll tell you honestly when we can be there; for emergencies that’s often the same day.
Do you install and repair water heaters in Media?
Yes. Tank and tankless, gas and electric. We repair when the unit has life left and quote a replacement when it doesn’t, so you can compare.
Can you work on a historic house in the borough?
Yes. Galvanized pipe, cast iron drains, radiators, and plaster walls are familiar ground. We repipe and add ductless cooling with as little disruption as possible, and we’ll talk through outdoor equipment placement if your home is in a historic district.
Do you do heat pump repair in Media, PA?
Yes. Heat pump repair, seasonal service, and replacement, along with central AC and furnace work.
Who's responsible for my water service line?
You are, from the curb to the house. Aqua maintains the main in the street. If your line is old or leaking, we can inspect and replace it.
Do you work on rowhomes and condos?
Yes. Rowhomes, twins, and condos make up a large share of Media’s housing, and we’re careful about shared walls and tight mechanical spaces.
