Plumbing and HVAC Services in Wayne and Radnor, PA
Wayne straddles three counties, but its heart is Radnor Township in Delaware County, and that’s the part of the Main Line this page is about. Plumbing in Wayne, PA tends to mean an older house: the North Wayne Historic District alone holds 190 buildings from 1881 to 1925, and many still have older plumbing to match.
Wendig Plumbing & HVAC is a family-owned company in West Chester, about thirteen miles southwest. We’ve served Delaware County since 1984, and Wayne, Radnor, and the rest of 19087 are part of that territory. Our plumbers handle leaks, water heaters, drains, and emergencies, and our HVAC technicians take care of AC repair, heating, and heat pumps. One of our family answers the phone, and the certified technician who arrives isn’t paid on commission.

Plumbing, Plumber, and HVAC Services in Wayne, PA
Wayne homeowners look for a plumber first and an HVAC company second, so that’s the order here. Each card opens a page with the details.
Plumbing
Plumber in Wayne and Radnor
Dripping fittings, a toilet that runs all night, a shutoff valve that won’t shut off. The everyday plumbing repairs that keep an older house civilized, done by a licensed, certified plumber.
Water Heater Repair and Installation
Water heater repair in Wayne, PA for units that run cold or leak at a fitting, and installation of a new tank or tankless heater when the old one has rusted through. We size it for the household, not the shelf.
Emergency Plumber
A burst pipe in a 1910 wall or sewage rising in the basement is a call to make now, not Monday. Day: (610) 431-0621. After hours: 610-637-7585. Same-day visits are often possible.
Drains, Kitchen, and Bathroom
Clogged drains, slow tubs, disposals, faucets, and the rough-in and fixture work when a Main Line bathroom finally gets its remodel.
Sump Pumps and Water Lines
Sump pumps and battery backups for the basements along Ithan Creek, and repair or replacement of the water line from Aqua’s curb stop into the house.
Water Filtration and Softening
Whole-home filtration and softener systems, installed and maintained.
Heating and Cooling
AC Repair in Wayne, PA
Air conditioners that blow warm, cycle constantly, or leak water at the air handler. We repair central AC and replace units that have run their course, with the price settled before the work.
Heating and Furnace Repair
Furnaces, boilers, and heat pumps, repaired when it’s sensible and replaced when it isn’t. Many of Wayne’s radiator houses run on older gas or oil boilers, and we service both.
Heat Pump Repair and Replacement
Heat pumps that won’t keep up in January or won’t cool in July, serviced, repaired, or replaced with one sized for the house.
Ductless Mini-Splits
The answer for a Shingle-style house with no ducts: a quiet head in each room, a small line through the wall, and no plaster destroyed.
HVAC Installation and Maintenance
New systems installed, and existing ones checked each spring and fall with a reminder mailed to the house.
Emergency HVAC
No heat or no cooling gets urgent attention, often the same day.
Why Wayne and Radnor Homeowners Choose Wendig
A family-owned company since 1984, where a family member still answers the phone and the technicians carry Master Plumbing and Mechanical certifications.
Our people aren’t on commission. That means a free estimate, a straight answer about repair versus replacement, and no pressure to decide on the spot. Hearth financing spreads a bigger job into monthly payments.
On the Main Line the local reason is simple: the houses are old and well kept, and they deserve a plumber who respects both. The same crew that handles the cast iron in a Wayne basement handles the air conditioning upstairs.
Plumbing and HVAC Needs in Wayne and Radnor Homes
Wayne was a planned suburb. An 1887 brochure for the Wayne Estate advertised its water, light, and drainage, and nearly 140 years on, here’s where that water and drainage stand.
The 1880s to 1920s Houses of North and South Wayne
The North Wayne Historic District went on the National Register in 1985 with its 190 contributing Shingle, Colonial Revival, Late Victorian, and Craftsman homes, and South Wayne and downtown Wayne have districts of their own. As of the 2000 Census, more than half of Radnor Township’s homes were built before 1960, and nearly a quarter before 1940.
Those houses often still carry original galvanized supply pipe, cast iron drains, and boiler heat. We repipe in copper or PEX, keep the boiler running safely, and add ductless cooling without opening up the walls.
Aqua's Main Replacement and the Line to Your House
In January 2023 Aqua Pennsylvania replaced about 3,000 feet of aging water main on Poplar, Pennsylvania, Plant, and Woodland Avenues in North Wayne. In November 2021 a main broke at Lancaster and South Wayne Avenues.
Aqua handles the pipe in the street. The service line from the curb to your basement is yours, and in a house from 1900 it may be the original. If it’s leaking or your pressure has dropped, we can inspect it and replace it.
Ithan Creek, South Wayne Avenue, and Wet Basements
Ithan Creek rises in Wayne. After Tropical Storm Nicole in 2010, most households surveyed along it reported basement flooding, and a culvert failure in 2018 sent water into houses near Route 320. On July 9, 2023, water rose about four feet in 45 minutes during a storm, Radnor crews made six water rescues, and Wayne residents reported water inside their homes.
The township began a $5.4 million South Wayne Avenue flood-reduction project in 2022. Until it’s finished, a sump pump with a battery backup is cheap insurance for a basement here.
Township Sewers and Your Lateral
Radnor belongs to a three-township sewer authority, and in 2019 and 2020 the township replaced roughly 1,000 feet of leaking sewer trunk line at Skunk Hollow Park. The lateral from your house to that main is the homeowner’s. Gurgling drains and a sewer smell in the basement are the signs to call us about.
