For over 90 years, Bodenheimer Plumbing Services, Inc. has been a trusted name in the Triad area, providing reliable and professional plumbing services to both residential and commercial clients.

The company’s roots trace back to the 1930s when Ernest Bodenheimer, an inventor and entrepreneur, founded the original Bodenheimer Pump shop in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Ernest’s dedication to innovation and customer service laid the foundation for what would become a multi-generational family business.

Through the years, Bodenheimer Pump expanded its services to include plumbing and steam heat, a natural progression to meet the evolving needs of its community. Ernest’s son, Bud Bodenheimer, joined the business after serving four years in the Air Force.

Together, Ernest and Bud worked side by side until Ernest’s passing in 1969. Following his father’s death, Bud took a position with the Bahnson Company, where he managed the installation of multi-million dollar mechanical and plumbing systems in industries such as textile, pharmaceutical, and power generation.

“Even though my father was managing large-scale projects at Bahnson, his heart was always with the family plumbing shop,” says David Bodenheimer, the current owner of Bodenheimer Plumbing Services. “He had a deep commitment to our community, and in 1977, he decided to restart Bodenheimer Plumbing, focusing on service and repair.”

Bud’s decision to return to the family business marked a new chapter in the company’s history. Under his leadership, Bodenheimer Plumbing began to expand its offerings to include not only residential and commercial services but also remodeling and utility services.

The company’s growth continued under the guidance of Bud’s youngest son, David Bodenheimer, who now leads the business.

Bodenheimer Plumbing Services is well-known for its comprehensive residential plumbing solutions. Whether you are dealing with a leaky faucet, a broken water heater, or planning a complete bathroom remodel, their team is equipped to handle it all.

“Our residential clients know they can rely on us for prompt and professional service,” David says. “We understand how stressful plumbing issues can be, so we make it our mission to resolve problems quickly and efficiently.”

The company offers a wide range of services, including regular maintenance, emergency repairs, and new plumbing installations. They are also experienced in handling more complex issues, such as sewer line repairs and water filtration system installations. Bodenheimer Plumbing Services is available 24/7 for emergencies, ensuring that homeowners have peace of mind knowing that help is just a phone call away.

“When a homeowner calls us, they’re not just getting a plumber—they’re getting a team that cares about their home as much as they do,” says David. “Our technicians are not only skilled but also respectful of our customers’ time and property. We make sure to leave every job site as clean as we found it.”

In addition to residential work, Bodenheimer Plumbing Services is a trusted partner for many businesses in the Winston-Salem area. The company provides a full range of commercial plumbing services, from routine maintenance to large-scale installations and repairs.

“Our commercial clients range from small businesses to large industrial facilities, and we treat each one with the same level of care and attention,” David says. “We know that plumbing issues can disrupt business operations, so we work efficiently to minimize downtime and get things running smoothly again.”

Bodenheimer Plumbing Services has the expertise to handle complex commercial projects, including the installation of plumbing systems in new construction and the retrofitting of existing systems to meet updated codes and regulations. Their team is also skilled in managing the unique challenges of commercial plumbing, such as working in occupied spaces without disrupting daily operations.

Bodenheimer Plumbing Services also specializes in plumbing for remodeling and renovation projects. Whether you are updating a single bathroom or undertaking a whole-house renovation, their team can help ensure that your new plumbing system meets both your needs and local building codes.

“Remodeling projects are always exciting, but they can also be stressful if you don’t have the right team in place,” says David. “We work closely with homeowners and contractors to ensure that every detail is handled correctly, from the initial design phase to the final inspection.”

The company’s remodeling services include everything from relocating pipes and fixtures to installing new systems for kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms. They are also experienced in working with modern, high-efficiency fixtures that can help homeowners save water and reduce utility bills.

David Bodenheimer is proud to continue the legacy started by his grandfather and carried on by his father, Bud Bodenheimer.

“We’re more than just a business—we’re part of this community,” David says. “My family has lived and worked here for generations, and we’re dedicated to giving back in any way we can.”

In addition to running a successful business, David is also involved in local community service initiatives, continuing the family’s tradition of contributing to the well-being of the area they serve.

“The Greensboro area is a great place to live and work, and we’re grateful for the trust our customers have placed in us over the years,” says David. “We’re committed to upholding that trust by providing the best possible service and being a positive force in the community.”
