Emergency Plumber for Boston homes
Emergency calls are taken around the clock. If water is actively running, the first step is shutting off the supply — we will talk you through it on the phone before we arrive.
Most of our Boston work is in Dorchester, South Boston and the neighborhoods south of downtown, dispatched from our Quincy office minutes up Route 93. Triple-deckers and rowhouses with original cast-iron stacks, shared sewer laterals, and basement water heaters that serve three units at once are the everyday call here.
When to call us
- A burst or split pipe, especially after a freeze
- Water coming through a ceiling or down a wall
- A sewer backup coming up through a floor drain or tub
- No water at all, or a main shut-off that will not hold

Emergency Plumber in Boston, in practice
Emergency work is a small share of what we do in Boston. The failure that keeps recurring in this housing stock is the main line backing up, and in a building of three apartments the first fixture to show it is the lowest one: a basement floor drain or a first-floor tub goes long before anyone upstairs notices anything. On a shared lateral that is a building problem rather than one household's, so the useful first question is whether any other unit is still draining. We will tell you which fixtures to stop using while you are still on the phone.
