Common Questions
What Boston customers ask us most
Do I need a permit for plumbing work in Boston?
Most plumbing work in Massachusetts must be performed by a licensed plumber and inspected under the State Plumbing Code, which is enforced locally by plumbing inspectors. Requirements vary with the job, so we confirm what applies and handle the paperwork for permitted work.
How quickly can you get here for an emergency?
We respond seven days a week. Timing depends on the day's schedule and your location, so we give you an honest arrival window when you call rather than a promise we cannot keep.
Do you give free estimates?
We provide written estimates before any repair work begins. Diagnostic visits for larger jobs may carry a service fee, which we tell you about up front and apply toward the approved work.
Should I repair or replace my water heater?
Age, tank condition, and the cost of the failed part all matter. A unit under eight years old with a replaceable component is usually worth repairing; an older tank showing corrosion usually is not. We show you the evidence either way.
