Why Newtown Homeowners Choose FKRIV Plumbing & Heating
Newtown is a community of well-kept historic homes, growing neighborhoods, and busy local businesses. Each property comes with its own plumbing quirks. Older homes in the borough may still have galvanized supply lines or aging cast-iron drains that need a knowledgeable hand. Newer developments off the Newtown Bypass face their own pressure and fixture issues. Our crew understands the housing stock here, and we tailor every visit to what your specific system needs.
Frank K. Russell IV leads our team as a fourth-generation master plumber, and that lineage shows in our work. You can read more about our background and philosophy on our company story page, but the short version is simple: we treat your home the way we’d want our own treated.

Residential Plumbing Repair and Installation
Leaky faucets, running toilets, low water pressure, slow drains, corroded pipes — these are the everyday headaches we resolve dozens of times each week. As a trusted residential plumbing contractor serving Newtown, we diagnose the real cause rather than treating the symptom. That means fewer callbacks and a longer-lasting fix.
Drain Cleaning and Video Inspection
A clogged drain is usually a warning sign, not just an inconvenience. We use modern drain-clearing equipment paired with video pipe inspection to find the exact location and cause of the blockage. Tree roots, grease buildup, foreign objects, collapsed sections — once we see it, we can solve it properly.
Water Heater Repair and Replacement
Cold showers on a winter morning are nobody’s idea of a good start. We service traditional tank water heaters, tankless models, gas, and electric units. When repair makes sense, we repair. When replacement is the smarter call, we walk you through high-efficiency options that match your household’s hot-water demand.
Heating, Boilers, and Furnaces
Plumbing and heating go hand in hand, especially in older Newtown homes with hydronic heating systems. We service boiler systems and forced-air furnace units so you can keep one trusted company on speed dial for both your water and your warmth.
Emergency Plumbing
Burst pipes, sewage backups, sudden flooding — these don’t wait for business hours. Our rapid-response plumbing team is dispatched quickly, and we’ll often coach you through the first steps (like locating your main shut-off) while we’re on the way.
Commercial Plumbing
Restaurants, retail spaces, medical offices, and small businesses in and around Newtown rely on us for code-compliant commercial work. Our full-service plumbing contractor team handles everything from backflow testing to remodels and new fixture installations, with minimal disruption to your operations.
