Plumber in Massachusetts

Boston and the older cities surrounding it, including Worcester, Lowell, and Cambridge, have some of the oldest housing stock in the country, and a lot of it still runs on original cast iron drain and sewer piping installed well before mid century. Cast iron typically holds up for many decades but eventually corrodes from the inside out, and by the time a home has been standing a hundred years or more, that internal buildup is a common cause of slow drains and sewer backups that trace back to the pipe itself rather than a simple clog. Plumbing licensing in Massachusetts is overseen by the state's Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters, which requires apprentice, journeyman, and master plumbers to complete set hours of supervised experience before sitting for a state exam, one of the more structured licensing systems in New England. Massachusetts's older multi family buildings add their own complication, since a single aging supply or drain line often serves several units at once, meaning a plumbing issue in a triple decker can affect more than one household's water at a time. Call (866) 752-3641 to describe what you're dealing with in Massachusetts, and we'll discuss the service you need and how to request it.
