Water and sewer in Randolph — and what it means in your basement
Randolph is a sewer-only member of the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority, so the regional system takes the town's waste while drinking water arrives locally rather than from the authority. That division is the practical starting point for most calls here. On the drain side, a sewered house that backs up repeatedly has a blockage, a root intrusion or a defect in its own service line, because there is no disposal system in the yard to fail. On the supply side, hardness, sediment and the rate at which a water heater scales are governed by the local supply, which is why heaters in this area often need flushing on a shorter cycle than a homeowner expects. Age is the other factor: a good deal of the original waste plumbing in the town's older housing is cast iron, which narrows internally for years before anything visible happens.

How Randolph was built — and what is behind the wall
Randolph became one of the country's leading boot producers, top of the trade by 1850, and the workforce that made it so came from across New England and from Ireland, Italy, Canada and Eastern Europe. Immigration on that scale builds housing fast and close in, and the older core here is exactly that: multi-family and small-lot construction put up quickly for people who had just arrived. Later the town filled in again as a Boston commuter suburb, layering mid-century and modern building over the 19th-century core. In a basement that produces two distinct populations of problem -- Victorian-era supply and waste piping at the end of a long life, and mid-century systems reaching the same point together -- and in multi-family stock one failing riser is rarely one household's problem.
