About
At LAE Plumbing and Heating, we know life isn’t always easy—but your plumbing and heating can be.
My name is Joey DePietro, a third-generation licensed plumber proudly serving the North Shore. I grew up in Saugus, MA, graduated from Malden Catholic High School, and went on to serve in the Marine Corps with two overseas deployments. That background shaped the way I work today: with integrity, discipline, and respect for your home.
As a one-person, locally owned business, you’ll always know exactly who’s coming to your door. From emergency plumbing to water heaters, toilets, faucets, heating system repairs and installations, I bring years of hands-on experience and family tradition to every job.
If you’re looking for reliable, straightforward service from someone you can trust in your home, I’d be honored to help.

Joey was amazing! He showed up on time and was very knowledgeable about what needed to be done. He explained everything in detail and made great recommendations. His work was done quickly and efficiently. He cleaned up after himself. You would have never known he was here. I highly recommend him for any plumbing issues. He’s a real professional. Thanks Joey! You’re the best!

Joey was wonderful to work with! He arrived on time, worked quickly and efficiently, and left everything clean when he was done. His pricing was fair and upfront, with no surprises on the bill. He also took the time to explain what he was doing and answered all my questions. I'll definitely be calling Joey again for any plumbing needs. Highly recommend!

Joey was quick and professional - he installed plumbing for a utility sink and also readily shared advice and tips for a new homeowner. 100% would recommend and I’ll will be a return customer for any future plumbing needs!

Joey was excellent. Super fast, flexible schedule. Gave me a reasonable estimate and was chill when I had to check with my landlord. Came right back and got it down even faster than he’d estimated. He fixed our kitchen sink faucet that needed to be totally replaced. Would recommend.
