Drain Cleaning

Lowell's housing stock includes historic mill worker homes in the Acre and Centralville, Victorian-era houses in the Highlands, and newer developments. Our drain techs use hydro-jetting and camera inspection to clear blockages from grease, tree roots, and aging cast-iron lines.

Common Lowell Drain Issues

• Tree root intrusion in clay sewer lines (older neighborhoods)
• Grease accumulation in multi-family units
• Storm debris backups during spring thaws

Water Heater Repair & Replacement

No hot water during a Lowell winter is a life-safety emergency. We repair and replace tank and tankless water heaters, plus boiler systems common in older Lowell homes. We understand steam heat and forced hot water systems.

• Boiler repair and replacement (steam and hot water)
• Tankless water heater descaling
• Same-day replacement for failed units
• Expansion tank and backflow prevention per Massachusetts code

Leak Detection

Lowell's extreme freeze-thaw cycles and historic infrastructure make hidden leaks a constant threat. Our electronic leak detection finds slab leaks, wall leaks, and underground line breaks before they damage your foundation.
