Owner & Licensed Plumber
Meet Andrew Cleary — The Plumber Behind 513 Plumbing & Gas Solutions
Andrew Cleary founded 513 Plumbing & Gas Solutions on a simple idea — Blue Ash homeowners deserve a plumber they can actually trust. Someone who shows up on time, tells them exactly what's wrong, quotes a fair price, and fixes it right the first time. After 25+ years in the trade, that's still exactly how Andrew operates every single day.
When you call 513 Plumbing, you're not reaching a call center or getting dispatched a random technician. You're talking directly to Andrew — the owner and the plumber. He answers his own phone, pulls his own permits, and stands behind every job with his name and reputation.
Andrew's Story
Built on Trust, Honesty, and 25 Years of Hard Work
I started in this trade the old-fashioned way — riding in a truck, carrying tools, and learning from plumbers who took pride in doing the job right. Over the last 25+ years, I've worked on just about every kind of residential plumbing and gas project you can imagine around Greater Cincinnati. From older homes in Blue Ash to new builds in Mason and Liberty Township, I've built my reputation one job at a time by treating every customer's home like my own.
After years of working for bigger companies, I saw firsthand how impersonal plumbing could become. Different techs every visit. Call centers reading from scripts. Sales quotas that pushed unnecessary work. It never sat right with me. I started 513 Plumbing & Gas Solutions so Blue Ash homeowners would have a real alternative — one plumber, one phone number, and someone who takes full responsibility for the work from start to finish.
What makes me different isn't a fancy slogan or a big fleet of trucks. It's the way I show up. When you call, you get me — not a dispatcher. When I look at your plumbing or gas line issue, I give you the honest truth, even if that means recommending a smaller repair instead of a full replacement. My business depends on referrals and repeat customers, so doing right by people isn't just the ethical choice, it's the only way to stay in business long-term.
Blue Ash, Mason, Westchester, Montgomery, and Liberty Township aren't just places on a map to me — they're my neighbors. I live and work in this community. I see my customers at the grocery store, at school events, and around town. That keeps me accountable in a way a franchise could never be. When you hire 513 Plumbing & Gas Solutions, you're hiring a neighbor who plans to be here for the long haul.

What Customers Say
5-Star Google Reviews and Counting
Andrew is the most honest plumber I've ever dealt with. He told me upfront what was wrong, what it would cost, and got it done same day. No runaround, no upsells. 513 Plumbing is the only plumber I'll call.
Called about a possible gas leak and Andrew was at my house within a few hours. Professional, thorough, and explained everything clearly. Turns out it was a minor issue — he could have told me it was major and I wouldn't have known the difference. That kind of honesty is rare.
Had a sewer line issue that another company quoted at nearly double what Andrew charged. He did a camera inspection first, found exactly what was wrong, and fixed just that section. Saved me thousands. Highly recommend.
