Action Bros. Plumbing has been taking care of homes and businesses in Bethel Park and across Allegheny County since 1988. That is 38 years of showing up, solving problems, and leaving customers with dry floors and working pipes. We started as a small, family-run operation and we have stayed that way, building our reputation one job at a time in the neighborhoods we know best.
Whether you own a home in the South Hills, manage a commercial property, or are dealing with a plumbing emergency right now, we are ready to help. Call us and a real local person picks up. Fast diagnosis. Honest pricing. Dry floors again.
Plumbing problems don't wait, and neither do we. From a dripping faucet to a burst pipe, we handle residential and commercial plumbing work of all sizes. Our team is available for same-day scheduling, after-hours calls, and emergency response when something goes wrong at the worst possible time.
We cover the full range of plumbing work: drain cleaning, leak detection and repair, water heater service, toilet and fixture installation, sewer and main line work, repiping, and urgent repairs. Every job is completed by work performed by licensed plumbers who take the work seriously and treat your property with care. One call brings a plumber to your door.
Getting your water flowing again is easier than you think, especially when you call a company that has been doing this work in the same community for nearly four decades. We opened our doors in 1988, right here in Bethel Park, and we have spent those years learning the homes, the pipes, and the particular plumbing quirks that come with this part of Pennsylvania.
We have worked in older row homes, mid-century ranches, newer construction, apartment buildings, and commercial spaces all across Allegheny County. We know the kinds of issues that come up in this area: aging cast iron drain lines, galvanized supply pipes that have finally run their course, water heaters pushed past their limits, and tree roots finding their way into sewer lines. That depth of local experience is what separates a plumber who knows your neighborhood from one who is just passing through. Trusted by local homeowners and property managers for their plumbing, we have built our business on referrals and repeat calls from people who know they can count on us. Give us a call and we'll get the water sorted.
Dealing with a slow drain or a sudden burst pipe? We handle both, along with everything in between. Our residential plumbing work covers the full range of what homeowners in Bethel Park and the surrounding South Hills communities deal with day to day. We work with experienced plumbers who respect your home, clean up after the job, and explain what they found and what they did before they leave.
A slow or blocked drain is one of the most common calls we get. We clear kitchen drains, bathroom sink drains, shower and bathtub drains, and main drain lines. For stubborn or recurring blockages, we use hydro jetting to scour the pipe clean from the inside. When we arrive, we assess the blockage, explain what is causing it, and clear it completely rather than just pushing the problem further down the line.
A small leak can cause serious damage if it goes undetected. We locate hidden leaks inside walls, under slabs, and beneath floors using diagnostic methods that get to the source without unnecessary demolition. Once we find the leak, we repair or replace the affected pipe and confirm the fix holds before we leave. Catching a leak early almost always costs less than dealing with the water damage it leaves behind.
We repair and replace toilets, fix running or constantly cycling toilets, and handle full toilet installations when it is time for an upgrade. On the fixture side, we repair and install kitchen and bathroom faucets, replace sink hardware, and handle general fixture work throughout the home. If a fitting is worn out, corroded, or just not working right, we will sort it.
Ready to get the water sorted? No hot water is one of those problems that affects everything in the house at once, and it rarely happens at a convenient time. We service and replace both tank and tankless water heaters, and we stock the parts to handle most common repairs on the first visit.
If your water heater is leaking, failing to heat, making noise, or simply old enough that repairs no longer make sense, we will walk you through the options honestly. We install tank water heaters in standard and high-capacity sizes, and we handle tankless water heater installation and repair for homeowners who want on-demand hot water without the storage tank. You will get straight answers about your pipes and fixtures, no surprises, before any work begins. Reach out and a plumber will follow up.
A sewer backup or main line clog is not something to put off. When the main line is blocked or damaged, it affects every drain in the house. We handle sewer line cleaning, repair, and full replacement when the pipe has deteriorated beyond patching. We also service the main water line that brings supply into your home.
Our sewer work covers everything from routine cleaning to camera inspection, line repair, and trenchless sewer replacement where conditions allow. We handle the line that runs from the house out to the city connection. When we arrive for a sewer call, we assess the condition of the line, explain what we find, and give you a clear picture of what the repair involves before we start. We're ready to get your drains running again.
There comes a point when patching old pipes stops making financial sense. If your home has galvanized steel supply lines, aging copper that has corroded through, or pipes that have failed repeatedly in different locations, a whole-house repipe is often the more practical solution.
We repipe homes using copper or PEX, depending on the layout, budget, and what the situation calls for. PEX is flexible, durable, and well-suited to the kinds of older homes common in this part of Allegheny County. We also handle emergency pipe repair for burst or broken pipes, and we can assess whether a targeted repair or a broader replacement makes more sense for your situation. The goal is always to give you a long-term fix, not just a short-term patch.
We take our work seriously because it matters. Plumbing that is done right protects your home, your family, and the value of your property. We follow current codes and best practices on every job, whether it is a simple faucet swap or a full repipe. When we finish a job, we test it. We do not consider the work done until we have confirmed that everything is functioning correctly and that there are no loose ends.
If something is not right, we make it right. That is not a slogan. It is how we have operated since 1988, and it is why so many of our customers have been calling us back for years. We are not satisfied until you are.
Property managers and commercial clients have different needs than a single-family homeowner, and we understand that. Downtime costs money, tenants notice problems quickly, and scheduling has to work around occupancy. We handle commercial drain cleaning, leak detection, water heater installation, pipe repair, and multi-unit plumbing service with the reliability that commercial accounts require.
We work with apartment owners, small commercial buildings, and property management companies throughout the South Hills area. If you manage multiple units or a commercial space and need a plumber who shows up when scheduled and communicates clearly about what the job involves, we are the team to call.
When a pipe bursts, a sewer backs up, or the hot water stops working in the middle of the night, you need a plumber who answers. We offer same-day service and after-hours emergency response for urgent plumbing situations throughout Bethel Park and the surrounding communities.
When you call, you will speak with someone who can help you right away. We dispatch quickly, arrive ready to work, and do not leave until the problem is resolved and tested. We pick up the phone. We arrive on time. We test before we leave. Whether it is a burst pipe, a major leak, a sewer backup, or a failed water heater, we treat every emergency call as exactly that. We're ready to get your drains running again.
One of the most common concerns homeowners have when calling a plumber is not knowing what something will cost until the bill arrives. We work differently. Before any work begins, we explain what we found, what the repair involves, and what it will cost. If the scope changes once we are into the job, we tell you before we proceed.
Call for a quote and we will give you a straightforward answer. No vague ranges, no bill padding, no surprises when the job is done. We believe that honest pricing is part of doing honest work, and it is something we have stood behind across all 38 years in business. Our customers come back because they trust us, and that trust starts with a clear, upfront conversation about cost.
We are based in Bethel Park and we serve the communities around us throughout the South Hills and greater Allegheny County. Our regular service area includes:
If you are in one of these communities or nearby and need a plumber, give us a call. We know the area well and we can typically get to you the same day for most jobs.

Yes. A significant portion of our work involves older housing stock throughout Allegheny County, including mid-century ranches, row homes, and properties with original pipe systems. We know the kinds of issues those homes present: aging galvanized supply lines, cast-iron drain systems, and sewer laterals that have been in the ground for decades.
The plumbers we send are experienced professionals who take the work seriously and treat your property with care. Work is performed by licensed plumbers on every job, whether it is a routine faucet repair or a full sewer line replacement. We do not cut corners on who we put on a job.
We stand behind what we do. If something is not right after we finish a job, we make it right. That commitment is not a policy we added recently. It is how we have operated since 1988, and it is a large part of why so many of our customers call us back year after year.
We follow current codes and best practices on every job, and we pull permits when the work requires them. Plumbing done to code protects your home, your family, and the value of your property. We do not take shortcuts that create problems for you down the road.
We arrive ready to work and we treat your property with respect throughout the job. That includes cleaning up when we are done and not leaving your home in worse shape than we found it. The way we show up reflects the way we do business.
Nearly four decades of work in the same community adds up to a level of local knowledge and accountability that is hard to replicate. We know the neighborhoods, the housing stock, and the specific plumbing challenges that come with this part of Pennsylvania. Trusted by local homeowners and property managers for their plumbing, we have built our business on referrals and repeat calls from people who know they can count on us.

How do I know if my water heater needs to be replaced or just repaired?
Age and the nature of the problem are the two biggest factors. If the unit is more than ten to twelve years old and is leaking from the tank itself, replacement usually makes more sense than repair. If the problem is a failed heating element, a bad thermostat, or a faulty pressure relief valve, repair is often the right call. We diagnose the unit on-site, explain what we found, and give you a clear quote for both options when repair is still viable.
What causes drains to clog and back up repeatedly?
Kitchen drains clog most often from grease and food buildup. Bathroom drains collect soap scum and hair over time. When the same drain keeps backing up after a standard snaking, the issue is usually a buildup that a cable cannot fully remove. Hydro jetting clears the pipe wall to wall and removes the material that keeps coming back. If multiple drains are slow at the same time, the problem is likely further down in the main line rather than at the individual fixture.
How are hidden leaks found without tearing up walls or floors?
We use leak detection equipment to narrow down the location before opening anything. That usually means listening equipment, pressure testing, and in some cases a sewer camera or moisture readings depending on where the leak is suspected. The goal is to find the source precisely so that any repair work is targeted rather than exploratory. Most hidden leaks can be located and repaired with far less disruption than people expect.
Transparent Pricing Before Any Work Begins
We walk you through what we found and what it costs to fix before a wrench turns. There are no surprise charges at the end of the job and no work done without your approval.
What are the signs of a sewer or main line problem?
Multiple slow drains throughout the house at the same time is a common early sign. Sewage odors inside the home, gurgling sounds from toilets when you run a sink, and water backing up in a floor drain when you flush are all signals that the problem is in the main line rather than at a single fixture. A sewer camera inspection tells us exactly what is going on and where, which means we can recommend the right fix rather than guessing.
How do tree roots damage a sewer line, and what can be done about it?
Roots follow moisture and will work their way into any small crack or joint in an older sewer line. Once inside, they grow and spread, eventually causing partial or full blockages and putting pressure on the pipe walls. In the South Hills, where mature trees are common and many sewer lines have been in the ground for decades, root intrusion is one of the most frequent causes of sewer problems we see. We run a camera to find the intrusion, clear the roots, and assess whether the line can be repaired or needs replacement. Trenchless options are available when the pipe is a good candidate.
What is the difference between snaking a drain and hydro jetting?
A drain snake, or cable machine, punches through a clog and pulls out what it can reach. It is effective for many blockages and is the right tool for a lot of jobs. Hydro jetting uses pressurized water to scour the pipe wall all the way around, removing grease, scale, soap buildup, and root fragments that a cable leaves behind. For drains that keep clogging or lines with heavy buildup, hydro jetting is the more thorough option and tends to keep the line clear longer.
Same-Day and Emergency Availability
We are available around the clock for emergencies and offer same-day scheduling for most jobs throughout Bethel Park and the South Hills. When something goes wrong, we pick up the phone.
How does sump pump failure lead to basement flooding, and when should I replace mine?
A sump pump fails when the float gets stuck, the motor burns out, the discharge line freezes or clogs, or the power goes out during the storm that is causing the flooding in the first place. If your pump is more than seven to ten years old, making unusual noises, running constantly, or failing to cycle on when water enters the pit, it is worth having it looked at before the next heavy rain. We check the float, the discharge line, and the backup situation on every sump pump visit.
What causes low water pressure, and is it something a plumber can fix?
Low pressure can come from a failing pressure regulator, a partially closed shutoff valve, mineral buildup inside older galvanized pipes, or a leak somewhere in the supply system. In older homes with original galvanized pipe, the interior of the pipe narrows over time as corrosion builds up, which restricts flow throughout the house. We diagnose the cause on-site and give you a clear answer before recommending a repair. In some cases, a pressure regulator replacement solves it in a single visit.
Experienced With Older and Newer Homes
From aging galvanized pipe and cast-iron drain systems in older South Hills homes to modern PEX installations in newer construction, we have seen it all and know how to work on it.
Do I need to be home when the plumber arrives?
Someone needs to be present to let us in and to review the quote before we begin work. Beyond that, you do not need to hover. We explain what we found, get your approval on the cost, and then get to work. Before we leave, we walk you through what was done and confirm that everything is working correctly.
How long does a whole-home repipe typically take?
The timeline depends on the size of the home and how much of the existing pipe needs to be replaced. A typical single-family home repipe takes one to three days. We give you a realistic estimate of the timeline before we start, and we work to minimize disruption to the household. Water is restored as quickly as possible during the process.
When should I call a plumber instead of trying to fix something myself?
For small jobs like replacing a showerhead or tightening a supply line connection, a confident DIYer can often handle it. For anything involving cutting into a wall, working on a main line, replacing a water heater, or diagnosing a leak you cannot see, a plumber is the right call. Mistakes on those jobs tend to cost more to fix than the original problem would have. If you are unsure, call us and describe what you are seeing. We can help you figure out whether it needs a plumber on-site.
Call (412) 991-9789 and we will talk through what you are dealing with, give you a clear sense of the cost, and get a plumber out to you.
