Kitchen sink drain backing up into the garbage disposal side — found a spoon wedged in the P-trap elbow that must have dropped through the disposal. Trap was a old steel one, threads were corroded and wouldn't come apart cleanly so I replaced the whole trap assembly with PVC. Also pulled about six months of grease buildup while I had it apart. Flows clean now.

Age of your existing pipes is the biggest factor - if we find galvanized steel or old cast iron that needs replacing during a repair, costs jump significantly. Emergency weekend calls and hard-to-reach pipes in crawl spaces also increase pricing. Most standard repairs run $150-400 but full pipe replacement can hit $2000+.
Most general plumbing repairs take 1-3 hours depending on the issue. Simple fixes like toilet repairs or faucet replacement are usually under an hour. Pipe repairs or water heater work can take 2-4 hours. We'll give you an honest time estimate upfront and keep you updated if anything changes.
Water stains on walls or ceilings mean pipes are leaking inside your walls - that's urgent. Gurgling drains, multiple slow drains at once, or sewage smells usually mean your main line is backing up. Low water pressure throughout the house often indicates a pipe break that's getting worse.
Most basic repairs don't require permits, but anything involving new pipes, moving fixtures, or water heater replacement does. Charlestown requires permits for bathroom renovations and any work that ties into your main water line. We handle the permit process and know exactly what requires approval.
Spring thaw puts pressure on pipes that may have shifted during winter freeze-thaw cycles. We see more basement flooding and foundation leaks in March and April. It's also the perfect time to check outdoor spigots for freeze damage and test your sump pump before heavy spring rains hit.
