Questions and Answers

My old cast iron pipes in Somerville are causing slow drains. What are my options?

Many older Somerville homes have original cast iron drain lines, which corrode and restrict flow over time. We can perform a thorough plumbing inspection to assess the condition. Depending on the severity, we may recommend a targeted repair or a full drain installation or replacement using modern, durable materials like PVC or ABS to restore proper drainage and prevent future issues.

Do you handle emergency water heater replacements, and what brands do you work with?

Yes, emergency water heater installation and repair is a core service. With decades of experience, including specific training and work with major utilities, we are equipped to handle urgent failures for both residential and commercial systems. We work with a range of reliable brands and will help you select a unit that fits your home's needs and budget, ensuring a proper, code-compliant installation.

Can you install a new gas line for a kitchen appliance in an older Cambridge or Somerville home?

Absolutely. Gas line installation for ranges, dryers, or other appliances is a common need in our area's historic homes. Our extensive background in gas work, including emergency repair for the local gas company, means we understand the specific codes and safety protocols required. We'll ensure the new line is installed correctly, tested for leaks, and meets all current safety standards for your peace of mind.
