TJ Cashman Plumbing & Heating: Professional Plumber Serving Billerica, MA 01862

Yes, these are very common issues we see in the area. Slow drains often point to buildup in older pipes, while a constantly running toilet is frequently caused by a worn flapper or fill valve—a classic toilet seal leak. While they might seem separate, both can waste significant water and increase your bill. We can efficiently diagnose and repair both problems in one visit, often fixing the toilet seal and clearing the drain to restore proper function and prevent water waste.

Signs of pipe corrosion in Billerica homes include discolored water (often brownish), low water pressure, frequent leaks, or a metallic taste. If you see greenish-blue deposits around pipe joints (especially on copper) or hear constant dripping, it's time for an inspection. We recommend a professional plumbing inspection to assess the extent. For isolated issues, a spot repair may suffice. However, if corrosion is widespread, a partial or full repipe with modern materials like PEX can be a more reliable, long-term solution to prevent major leaks and water damage.

Replacing an aging water heater before it fails is a smart move to avoid flooding and costly water damage. In Billerica, we offer several options. Traditional tank heaters are reliable and cost-effective for most homes. For families needing more hot water or looking to save space, we install efficient tankless models that provide hot water on demand. We also handle all necessary connections, including gas line work if needed, and ensure proper disposal of your old unit. Our team will help you choose the right model for your home's size and your family's needs.
