Book OnlineWhat counts as an emergency in Quincy
Burst pipes in older Quincy buildings where shutoffs are not obvious or where multiple units share the same piping stack.
Basement flooding in coastal or low-lying neighborhoods like Houghs Neck, Squantum, Marina Bay, and other parts of the shoreline.
Sewage backup affecting multiple fixtures in triple-deckers, condos, and multifamily buildings around North Quincy and Quincy Center.
Gas smell near a boiler, water heater, or gas-fired fixture where you need both a safe shutdown and a licensed plumber afterward.
If the problem can safely wait, book the next available appointment instead of treating it like a midnight flood.
Shutting off water in a Quincy condo or triple-decker
Find the local shutoff first
Check behind the toilet, under the sink, or near the water heater. In some condo units, that may only stop one fixture, not the full unit.
Know where the building main is
In older Quincy multifamily buildings, the building main is often in the basement near the meter room or where the service enters the building.
Call the super if needed
If you are in a condo or managed building and the leak affects shared piping, call the super or association while you call us so nobody loses time.
Plumbing emergency in Quincy? We answer 24/7.
Direct Quincy dispatch, not a call center
Nate and Nick Johnson were born and raised in Quincy and trained at Quincy High School. When you call for an emergency, you are calling a real local company with 24/7 answering, not a national lead service trying to sell the job to whoever picks up. The $99 service fee sends a licensed technician out to diagnose the problem. Approve the repair on the spot and the fee is not charged at all; decline it and the $99 covers the visit.

Quincy emergency plumbing FAQs
Which parts of Quincy do you cover for emergency plumbing?
All of Quincy. We have completed work in the 02169, 02170, 02171 ZIP codes. We dispatch Quincy calls from our Quincy office, right here in town.
How fast can Johnson Bros respond to an emergency in Quincy?
We dispatch Quincy calls from our Quincy office, right here in town. Response time still depends on current demand and weather, and we give honest ETAs when you call.
What's considered a plumbing emergency?
Burst pipes, sewage backup, gas smell near plumbing, active flooding, and no hot water when young kids, elderly family, or medical needs are involved all count as real emergencies.
How do I shut off water in my Quincy condo or triple-decker?
Look for the main shutoff near the water meter, often in the basement or utility area. In condos and multifamily buildings, unit shutoffs may only isolate part of the problem, so call the building super or association while you call us.
Can you handle both the emergency and the permit or repair in Quincy?
Yes. We handle the emergency response and the follow-up repair work, and we pull required Quincy permits when the repair moves into permitted plumbing work.
Quincy is a fully served Massachusetts Water Resources Authority community for both drinking water and sewer, so nearly every home here is on city water and a municipal sewer connection rather than a private well or a leaching field. What that arrangement means in a Quincy basement — water, sewer, and how the town was built — is on our Quincy plumbing page.
