"Had a burst pipe under our kitchen sink at 11 PM on a Sunday. Called Nick Gerhard Jr.'s number and a technician arrived within 30 minutes! Flat rate was given upfront and there were no emergency surcharge surprises. Will always use Gerhard's!"
"Our main drain line was severely clogged with tree roots. The guys used a camera locator to find the blockage, hydro-jetted the pipes, and and cleared it all in under an hour. Upfront flat rates save so much stress."
"Gerhard's Plumbing installed a new tankless water heater in our home. Nick Gerhard Jr. himself walked us through the rebates and energy efficiency advantages. The work was incredibly clean and neat!"
Our Commitment to You
"Hi, I'm Nick Gerhard Jr. When I started Gerhard's Plumbing & Drain, I set out to build a service company that puts the customer first. Too often, people feel taken advantage of by corporate franchise plumbing outfits that play games with pricing or charge high hourly rates that reward slower work."
"We do things differently. We inspect the problem, outline exactly what needs to be done, and give you a flat-rate price *before* we pick up a tool. You know exactly what you are paying, no matter how long it takes. That is the Gerhard's promise."
Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about plumbing repair, bookings, and emergency service calls.
With flat-rate pricing, you pay a single fixed fee for the specific repair task, regardless of how many hours the technician spends resolving it. This protects you from pay-by-the-hour pricing, where slower work costs you more money. You approve the price upfront before we begin.
No, we do not charge emergency surcharges or extra travel fees. We offer transparent pricing 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. An emergency on Sunday night costs the same flat rate as a scheduled repair on Tuesday morning.
We serve a 100-mile radius around Middletown (45044), covering the greater Cincinnati and Dayton areas, Northern Kentucky, Southeastern Indiana, and Columbus. Use our zip code checker in the hero section to verify coverage instantly.
