415 S Dartmouth Ln, Altoona, PA 16602
Business Profile
Kimmen Plumbing & Heating is a family-owned and operated business that has served Altoona and the surrounding communities since 1990. The company's roots go back even further to 1976, when founder Charles W. 'Chuck' Kimmen first ran the operation from his home. Today, his son, Charles W. Kimmen III (Charlie), leads the team as Owner and President, continuing a legacy built on master plumbing licenses and extensive heating certifications. From their base on South Dartmouth Lane in Logan Township, they've grown from a single building to a multi-structure facility. This growth allows them to offer a comprehensive range of services, including their own in-house excavation work with skilled machine operators. As registered master plumbers, they provide reliable plumbing, heating, air conditioning, and excavation services for both residential and commercial customers, backed by 24-hour emergency availability and deep local expertise.
Q&A
Do you handle the excavation needed for major plumbing repairs in Altoona?
Yes, we do. Unlike many plumbing companies, Kimmen Plumbing & Heating operates its own excavation division with skilled machine operators and well-maintained equipment. This means we can manage the entire project, from trench digging for water pipe repair or installation to the final backfill, ensuring a seamless and efficient process for our Altoona customers.
My home has low water pressure. Is this a common issue you see in Altoona, and can you fix it?
Low water pressure is a frequent issue in older Altoona homes, often caused by mineral buildup in pipes or leaks in aging galvanized lines. Our master plumbers are experienced in diagnosing the root cause, whether it requires cleaning aerators, repairing specific sections of pipe, or recommending a full repipe. We'll provide a clear assessment and solution to restore proper water flow.
As a family-owned business, what does your long history in the area mean for your service?
Being family-owned and operated since 1990—with roots dating to 1976—means our reputation is everything. We've built our business on trust and reliability within the Altoona community over decades. You're dealing directly with licensed professionals who have a personal stake in every job's success, from a simple faucet repair to a full HVAC system replacement, ensuring work is done right.
