-
Plumbing
Plumbing problems—big or small—can quickly throw off your routine and cause unnecessary stress. Whether it’s a dripping hose bib, a faulty shower valve, or a full-scale remodel, you shouldn’t have to wonder who to call or if the job will be done right.
-
Sewer Inspection & Cleaning
Sewer issues can be stressful, messy, and hard to diagnose—but you don’t have to face them alone. We offer camera sewer inspections and professional cleanings to identify problems early and keep things flowing smoothly.
-
Water Heaters
A cold shower is never a good surprise. We install, repair, and replace both tank and tankless water heaters, helping you restore hot water quickly and efficiently. We’ll guide you to the right solution and make sure it’s installed with care.
-
Gas Piping
Gas work isn’t something to leave to chance. Whether you’re installing a new appliance, upgrading your system, or repairing a leak, safety and precision are critical. We ensure your gas lines are safe, efficient, and built to last so you can move forward with total peace of mind.

Hot Jet
When drains and sewer lines are severely clogged or are frozen, standard methods just don’t cut it. That’s where hot jetting comes in. We use high-pressure hot water jetting to address these issues, restoring your drains and saving you from costly, disruptive backups and breaks down the road.

We had a great experience using Lockmer!
“We had a great experience using Lockmer, but this review starts when we first closed on our new house. We noticed a gas leak on a Sunday and left countless messages for Monday morning with various plumbers in town. Lockmer was the only one to return my call. While we ended up addressing the issue ourself, I appreciated the call back. That’s why when we turned on our outside hoses for the year and discovered a leak, Lockmer was our first call. They got us in the next day, showed up on time, and had the problem addressed quickly. The plumber (I believe his name was Sean) was professional, honest, and efficient. We would recommend Lockmer and will definitely use them again should the need arise.”

Their staff are highly skilled and knowledgeable!
“Lockmer plumbing has completed several complex projects at our house: They installed a new water heater, new boiler for our heating system, and made upgrades to our heating system controls so each floor has its own controls. They repaired our sewer line first in a crawl space (about 5 ft height) and then in our partial basement. They also installed a natural gas heater in my garage and installed a pressure reduction unit on our main water line to the house. They installed a walk-in bathtub that included using a third-party contractor to remove door frames to get the tub into the house, and electricians to route more power to the tub area. They arranged and coordinated all this work nicely. They provided estimates of the cost in many cases before the work was done, and usually are spot on except for maybe an unanticipated part that was needed. All the work was done professionally and in a reasonable time frame. Their staff are highly skilled and knowledgeable. We are highly satisfied customers!”

What a great experience and quick response!
“Outstanding business. I had a leaky water pipe on a Monday of Thanksgiving week. Called and asked if a plumber could come fix it They sent a plumber that day and he fixed the leak. He was very friendly, polite, and professional. What a great experience and quick response. Wasn't that costly either and now I don't have to worry about flooding on Thanksgiving 👍”
