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 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.

Joey was incredibly responsive and thorough from the start. He gave me a fair upfront price to replace a shower head/ pipe and pipe under the sink that was leaking. He was able to come the very next day. He was very professional. Will definitely hire him again for any plumbing or heating needs!
