120 Year Family Legacy
With a passion for plumbing and over 30 years of experience, I began my training in Home Energy Consulting, receiving a Journeyman License in Heating as well as a Master Plumbing License.
In 2015, I opened my own plumbing and heating business, helping many satisfied residential clients throughout Cambridge, Kitchener and Waterloo with a dedication to my craft that honours and continues a family legacy that began over 120 years ago.
Ernst Otto Neuhaus (my father)
January 22, 1922 – May 4, 1990
Wilhelm Neuhaus (my grandfather)
December 3, 1886 to September 10, 1975
Where it all begin
My family began running and operating a plumbing and heating business in 1897 in my home town of Siegen, Germany.



Otto Wengenroth
(my great grandfather)
April 5, 1850 – April 10, 1938
My middle name, Wilhelm, comes from my grandfather back home, a name I have to live up to!
As such, I continued our family reputation for technical excellence, attention to detail, courtesy, and timely service, which brings with it a deep sense of pride in my work and my family history.

Marilyn Ostercamp2023-11-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This small business/plumber completed a job for me very quickly and efficiently. He is a competent and professional individual. His work was completed and all aspects of the work he did was done entirely to my satisfaction. I know I would call on him again if I need a plumber. Good luck in your business here in Nanaimo. Thank you Debra Kandert2023-11-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a very positive experience with Jost. He was able to fit us in quickly, did a great job and was a very pleasant professional to deal with. We took extra business cards to give to our friends who are looking for a reputable plumber. Thank you Jost. Mark Coffey2022-12-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jost has done impeccable work for our multi bathroom Reno. We had a complete tear out down to studs. Bidets, showers, tub, sinks, wall taps and water spouts, steam shower and in floor heating loops were installed. A toilet leak happened on one weekend and Jost showed up that day in a very timely manor to solve this problem ( this was not his fault) that could have gone very badly for us. Always timely, polite, professional and very knowledgeable. So sad that this fabulous plumber is moving across Canada. Ontario's loss is BC's gain. Peter Wright2022-10-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was doing a renovation in our upstairs bathroom and although I like to do the work myself, the plumbing was over my head. I don't like to have to hire anyone but I had no choice. My son recommended JW Mechanical because he works with him occasionally being in the HVAC business. Well I am so glad he did. Jost does impeccable work, best materials, and everything up to code. He went over and above what was asked of him, like repairing floor joists in the 120 year old floor. He replaced all the old piping and drains. Tore out the cast iron vent pipe from the basement up through the roof. I could go on forever, but if anyone is looking for a plumber Jost is your man. Thanks for helping me sleep now Jost!! Regards, Peter Wright 259 Shepherd Ave. Brandon Moyer2022-06-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jost from JW Mechanical really came through for us. We had a big job to get done in a short amount of time. The plumbing of our newly bought house had to be entirely updated from Kitec to traditional plastic/copper. Jost had this job completed in exactly one day. The plumbing was replaced, new faucets were fitted, our water softener upgraded, and a new laundry tub installed. Would highly recommend Jost for your plumbing needs! Brad Meyer2021-12-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jost was very professional and Accommodating Amazing customer service Had a water softener and dishwasher installed did a fantastic job ! We will definitely be reaching out to him for all our plumbing needs. Kelsi higgins2021-08-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jost is very professional and quick to respond to any inquiries and questions before, during and after our install was complete. Would highly recommend JW Mechanical to anyone. Samantha D2021-08-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This man definitely takes extreme pride in his work! We just had Jost come to our newly bought home to install a new toilet, water softener, add some shut off valves & rescheduled him to come back and connect our sink and dishwasher (after we put the kitchen back in). I have already recommended him to a few friends. His work is impeccable, he's extremely honest & fair pricing. I've had plumbers in the past (as a renter sent by the rental company) and let me tell you... Jost is 100 stars, 5 stars is not enough! Thank you again Jost! You're our new plumber for any of our needs 😊 Bev Devonport2021-02-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jost has done a thoroughly professional and efficient job with both a bathroom reno and fixing a sewer pipeline I had in my home. I will hire no other plumber than JW Mechanical Inc.
