Dowling Plumbing & Heating | Emergency Plumbing Repair in Hanover, MA

We recommend a professional plumbing inspection at least once a year for most Hanover homes. Annual checks are crucial for identifying early signs of pipe corrosion, which can be accelerated by our local water conditions, and for ensuring systems like your water heater are operating efficiently and free of sediment buildup. For older homes or properties with known plumbing concerns, more frequent inspections may be advisable.

Common signs include inconsistent water temperature, discolored or rusty water, rumbling noises from sediment, or visible leaks around the tank. As a family-run business serving the South Shore since 1991, we install a variety of reliable, energy-efficient water heaters tailored to your home's needs and local utility options. We handle the entire process, from removal and proper disposal of your old unit to installation and ensuring it meets all local codes.

Yes, it very well could be. Low water pressure is a frequent indicator of pipe corrosion or scaling, a common issue in our area due to water chemistry and the age of many homes. During a service call, our licensed technicians will diagnose the source—whether it's at a specific fixture, a section of pipe, or the main service line. We provide clear explanations and solutions, which may range from cleaning aerators to targeted pipe repair or replacement, always following industry standards.
