Residential Plumbing Built Around Your Home’s Needs

What Sets Gans Apart in Bryn Mawr
We are not a franchise or a call center operation. Gans Plumbing is a locally rooted, family-run company that has been serving the Main Line community for nearly a century. That means you get real, licensed plumbers who know this area — not a rotating crew of unfamiliar faces. We show up when we say we will, we explain the work clearly, and we stand behind everything we do.
Bryn Mawr homeowners trust us because we have earned it — one job at a time, one household at a time, for nearly 100 years. Our residential plumbing services cover everything your home needs, and our team is always ready to walk you through your options so you can make an informed decision with confidence.
Water Heaters, Drain Cleaning, and More
Some of the most common calls we receive from Bryn Mawr homeowners involve water heaters, slow or clogged drains, and aging pipe systems. We supply and install Bradford White water heaters — both traditional tank models and energy-efficient tankless units — and we handle the full installation from start to finish. If your water heater is more than 10 years old or struggling to keep up with demand, it may be time for an upgrade.
Drain issues are another frequent concern, especially in older homes where buildup and root intrusion can cause persistent blockages. Our plumbers use the right tools to clear the problem at the source, not just temporarily mask it.
We also offer water treatment solutions for homes dealing with hard water, iron, or other contaminants that affect water quality and wear down fixtures over time. Every recommendation starts with a water sample test so the solution we provide is tailored specifically to your home.
For added protection, we install backwater valves and backflow preventers to safeguard your home against sewer surcharges and water supply contamination. These are smart investments for any Bryn Mawr homeowner, particularly those in older neighborhoods with aging municipal infrastructure.
