Emergency Plumbing
Our certified technicians provide round-the-clock emergency plumbing services for urgent issues like burst pipes, sewer backups, and water heater failures. Using advanced diagnostic tools and repair techniques, we resolve critical plumbing problems efficiently while minimizing property damage. With no overtime charges and guaranteed same-day response, we ensure immediate solutions for residential and commercial clients across the Lehigh Valley region.
Water Heater Services
We offer comprehensive water heater solutions including repair, replacement, and maintenance for gas, electric, and tankless systems. Our technicians provide free replacement estimates and same-day service for all water heater models. Through regular maintenance agreements, we help extend equipment lifespan while ensuring optimal energy efficiency and consistent hot water supply for homes and businesses.
Drain Cleaning
Our advanced drain cleaning services utilize high-pressure hydro jetting to remove stubborn clogs, grease buildup, and tree root intrusions from residential and commercial plumbing systems. We offer both traditional and trenchless sewer line repair options to minimize landscape disruption. With specialized camera inspection equipment, we accurately diagnose drain issues and implement lasting solutions for improved system performance.
Water Treatment
We provide customized water treatment solutions to address hardness, iron content, and contaminants in municipal and well water systems. Our services include water testing, softener installation, reverse osmosis systems, and UV purification. By improving water quality, we help protect plumbing infrastructure, enhance appliance efficiency, and provide cleaner drinking water while reducing reliance on bottled water sources.
Sewer Line Repairs
Our sewer line repair services combine traditional excavation and modern trenchless technologies to address pipe damage, root infiltration, and system failures. Using pipe bursting and cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) methods, we replace damaged lines with minimal disruption to landscaping. We conduct comprehensive video inspections to identify issues and recommend the most cost-effective repair approach for residential and commercial properties.

Report
Called for a second opinion after a competitor had informed me that it would be about $7,500 repair job with all kinds of issues. Paul was very kind and courteous and had no problems with explaining the details of what he would do, and then he did them and was done in less than an hour having resolved the problem. The competitor had said it would be several weeks for them to resolve the issue. I strongly recommend Elek Plumbing for excellent and honest work. Thank you!

Excellent and courteous service. Prompt and reliable. Derek answered the phone gave me accurate information, called back in minutes to arrange an emergency visit. Jody and Andrew arrived in an hour, made an assessment, and gave a straight forward price to replace the water heater. Kudos to this company for outstanding customer care and professional and personable employees.

From start to finish, this company was amazing. VERY friendly staff from Kelly, Brian, Jesse, Steve and the whole team that came out to replace my cast iron sewer line. Very knowledgeable, easy to get a hold of and came out immediately! Hands down they are THE best in the area! I cannot thank them enough for everything they have done. I will certainly use them in the future. Cannot recommend them enough. Give them call, you won't regret it!

I'm not big posts but when someone stands out I feel they should be congratulated and encouraged to continue. Needing a plumber I contacted several companies one of which was Elek. Although in the end I wasn't able to utilize their services on this project I will save the contact with the belief I will at some point in the future. As a business they have good communication practices. The sales rep/installer/technician Jody arrived when agreed, was polite, professional, concise and informative. No pressure, just the facts, a pleasure. Thank you Elek, Jody for the time and consideration taken Jared & Heather

Carlos C. was terrific! We had a pipe attached to a hose bib that needed to be repaired. We also needed our sump pump pipe re-routed further away from the house. Carlos was on time, professional, and explained everything that he needed to do before doing the work. We will definitely be using Elek again in the future for any other issues that may pop up, and will be using them again in the spring for air duct cleaning. Thank you for all of your help!

This company and their employees are wonderful! Would give them 10 stars if I could. From the proposal all the way through to the completed job they were friendly, professional, and focused on detail. The installers, both male and female, are hard-working and committed to getting the job done right. And they are never too busy to answer any questions! So happy with our decision to use their services and we highly recommend!
