Plumbing in Bridgewater, MA

Copper supply pipes installed in the 1970s typically last 50 to 70 years under normal conditions, but the solder joints and fittings used in that era can develop pinhole leaks earlier, especially in areas with slightly acidic water. Bridgewater homes from this period are now at the age where a full inspection of visible supply lines and fittings is worth doing before a small leak becomes a larger problem.

Pipes in Bridgewater crawl spaces freeze when the heating system cycles down and outside temperatures drop into the single digits. The most reliable fix is adding insulation to the crawl space walls or the pipe runs themselves, combined with ensuring the heating system maintains a minimum temperature in that space. We can also reroute vulnerable pipe sections to conditioned areas of the home where freezing is not a risk.

Modern high efficiency boilers operate at lower water temperatures than older cast iron boilers, which actually improves performance with baseboard radiators. The fuel savings compared to a 20-to-30-year-old boiler are significant, and the new unit is more reliable during the coldest stretches of winter.
