Experienced Residential Plumbers Serving Ardmore
Ardmore is a vibrant, established community with a mix of older homes and newer construction throughout the borough and surrounding Lower Merion Township. Older homes in the area often come with aging plumbing systems — galvanized pipes, worn-out fixtures, and drain lines that have seen better days. Our licensed plumbers understand the unique demands of these properties and have the experience to address them properly. We do not cut corners, and we do not offer one-size-fits-all solutions. Every job is assessed individually so the fix we recommend is the right one for your home.

A Trusted Name on the Main Line
Gans Plumbing is not a franchise or a national chain. We are a local, family-run business with deep ties to this community. Our plumbers live and work in the same neighborhoods they serve, and that means something. When you call Gans, you can expect honest assessments, fair pricing, and work that is done right the first time. Our reputation has been built over nearly 100 years of showing up, doing the job well, and treating every customer’s home with respect.

Water Heater Services in Ardmore
One of the most frequent calls we receive from Ardmore homeowners is for water heater repair and replacement. A failing water heater can disrupt your entire household, and older units are often far less efficient than today’s models. Gans supplies and installs Bradford White water heaters — both traditional tank units and energy-efficient tankless systems — and handles everything from removal of the old unit to full installation and testing of the new one.
If your water heater is more than 10 years old, making unusual noises, or struggling to deliver consistent hot water, it may be time for a replacement. Our plumbers will assess your current system and help you choose the right solution for your home’s size and hot water demands. Learn more about our water heater installation and repair services to find out which option is the best fit for your home.
Drain Cleaning, Water Treatment, and Whole-Home Plumbing
Beyond water heaters, our Ardmore customers count on us for a wide range of residential plumbing needs. Slow or blocked drains are a common issue in older homes, where years of buildup and root intrusion can cause persistent problems. We clear drain blockages at the source so the issue does not keep coming back.
We also offer water treatment solutions for homeowners dealing with hard water, iron, or sediment that affects water quality and wears down fixtures and appliances over time. Every recommendation starts with a water sample test, so the system we install is tailored specifically to your home’s water profile.
For homes in areas susceptible to flooding or sewer backup, we install backwater valves and backflow preventers to protect your property and keep your water supply clean and safe.
