Plumbing

We handle residential and commercial plumbing across Worcester County — leaks, blocked and broken drains, sewer lines, water heaters, gas piping, fixture replacement and full repipes. Someone is on call 24 hours a day, and you can reach a person on the phone at any hour.

$75 dispatch fee, credited to your bill when you book.

A washing machine outlet box roughed into an open stud wall, with red and blue quarter-turn valves fitted and the waste connection below.
A finished tiled shower. A matte black shower head on a squared arm and wall flange sits high on the right-hand wall, with the matching matte black mixer trim and lever handle below it. A recessed niche with a marble hexagon mosaic back is set into the tiled wall opposite.
Finished work: the mixer and the head set and sealed, with the wall closed up around them.

What we get called for most

The bulk of our work is the unglamorous half of the trade: a pipe that has started dripping inside a wall, a drain that backs up every few months, a shut-off valve that will not shut off. Worcester has a lot of housing built long before anyone thought about how a plumber would reach anything, and that shapes the work more than any other single factor.

  • Leak location and repair, including pinholes in old copper
  • Blocked sinks, tubs, showers and toilets
  • Sewer line repair and replacement, including no-dig methods
  • Water heater repair and replacement, tank and tankless
  • Gas piping and gas appliance connections
  • Fixture replacement — faucets, toilets, sinks, shut-offs
  • Full and partial repipes in older homes

What a visit costs to start

We charge a $75 dispatch fee to come out and diagnose the problem, and it is applied to your bill when you book the repair.

We would rather tell you that up front than advertise a free visit and find another way to charge for it. If we look at the job and it is not worth doing, we will say so.
