Services
Our team understands that water heaters are a vital component of any plumbing system. Reduced output, leaks, or unusual sounds may indicate underlying problems. With an average lifespan of about twelve years, older units can become costly to operate. We provide solutions that prioritize durability, efficiency, and overall system performance. 
Our sewer line solutions focus on correcting severe clogs and structural pipe damage. We rely on advanced diagnostic tools to examine underground drain lines thoroughly. When repairs are not sufficient, we complete full replacements. Each project is executed with care to maintain the integrity of your property. 
A toilet that appears functional may still conceal issues that affect performance and water usage. Running mechanisms, leaking seals, or unstable mounting can cause damage if left unaddressed. Signs such as water on the floor or movement at the base warrant attention. We deliver thorough toilet services, from clearing blockages to complete replacements. 
We handle water pipe repair for residential and commercial properties experiencing leaks, cracks, or bursts. Drain systems are exposed to debris and environmental elements that often cause clogs and structural damage. Even small leaks can worsen under pressure and affect walls or ceilings. Our team uses professional tools to restore proper pipe function and prevent further damage. 
Our team delivers thorough drain services that address both immediate clogs and underlying system issues. We begin by inspecting the drainage system to determine the condition of the pipes. Obstructions are carefully cleared to restore flow without causing damage. When drains are no longer serviceable, we perform precise repairs or full replacements as needed. 
Our boiler installation services are designed to support long-lasting heating and hot water performance. Boilers are recognized for their strength, reliability, and straightforward construction. We rely on professional expertise and proven installation practices for every project. Each system is installed with care to ensure consistent and efficient operation. 
Faucet issues often require more than a quick fix to ensure lasting performance. Our experienced plumbers provide thorough installation and repair services using trusted materials. With transparent pricing and a commitment to workmanship, we deliver solutions designed to meet both functional and quality expectations. 
We deliver customized sewage and sump pump solutions designed to manage water and waste effectively. From sealed pits to automated pump activation, each element is installed for optimal function. We prioritize dependable operation and long-term protection. Our services are structured to address problems thoroughly without unnecessary expense. 
Our team provides reliable gas services to help homeowners benefit from natural gas energy. This option supports essential systems such as heating, cooking appliances, hot water units, and fireplaces. Safety is critical when working with gas, so we emphasize correct installation and repair. We deliver expert solutions for gas lines and related equipment. People

Mike was very helpful and transparent about what needed to be done, what could potentially be wrong (proving the worst and best case scenarios), and the cost associated with it. Jonathan was also very helpful and did his job well. He expressed his desire to take his time and make sure what he worked on was done correctly. I have used Metcalf Plumbing for years and will continue to use there services as long as I have a home. Thank you Metcalf for the great service!!

Les and Charles are amazing! Our boiler was failing and they replaced it in the same week. The installation is beautiful. They are knowledgeable, professional, and so organized! We are grateful to Les for organizing his team to repair our heat quickly and near the holidays. Metcalf is local, family owned, and scheduling was a breeze. They are now our go-to plumbing service!

Very quick and very kind. Helped me to verify what was going on as a second opinion and of course both them and the people at honest Abe were right about my aquastat. Mike really took the time to hear me out and was sensitive to my obvious lack of financing. I highly recommend both him and the individual on the phone were very helpful.

Metcalf Plumbing services were provided by two plumbers who were very meticulous and persistent with efforts to detect the root cause of a plumbing leak from bathroom above dining room. Not able to detect the cause, they suspect the leakage, in theory, may have been caused by defective wax ring. They thoroughly and closely examined the pipes above dining room ceiling, finding insufficient evidence of cause, even with running water in shower and flushing toilet multiple times. If leakage reoccurs, there will be a followup service call. I am happy with their high quality of work and professionalism.

Very professional. They wore booties and cleaned up the work area. They offered to come the same day but that actually didn't work for me, so they came a couple days later. They fixed some poor workmanship done by a prior plumber as well as taking care of the acute problem. Mike worked tirelessly until it was taken care of. I am very grateful. I would wholeheartedly recommend them and would not hesitate to use them again.

I have hired Metcalf Plumbing on three occasions for various different services. In every case, Mike was prompt, courteous, very neat and worked efficiently with great skill to successfully complete each task. He came up with some creative approaches to avoid making holes in tile or drywall which was greatly appreciated. I couldnt be happier with Mike M. and the entire Metcalf staff. Even met owner who was also a pleasure to speak with.

Mr. Metcalf and Johnathan showed up on time (early), listened to our concerns about our needs, and gave us an estimate on each aspect of the work. When we approved the work to be done, they got right to work. The work was done efficiently and cleanly. Everything was left as they found it. Highly recommended. Thanks.

I've used Metcalf Plumbing for multiple projects over the last couple years - from pipe leaks and clogged drains to hot water heater replacement. Every team member has been very knowledgeable, professional, and provided quality service. The owner keeps up to date on all their jobs and has personally answered my questions and even come out to the house. Great company!

Customer service - exceptional!
We have been without a hot water heater for two weeks. Metcalf was able to come out and inspect the issue and replace a hot water in the same day. Danielle was a person who answered the phone gave me details on how to process works. Chris was the gentleman who came out and replaced the hot water heater. I gave birth five stars as well as Metcalf. Thank you, Metcalf.
