Services
Hot water plays a critical role in maintaining comfort and functionality throughout the home. If your water heater begins to fail or no longer performs efficiently, timely service can prevent further issues. Older units frequently cost more to operate due to reduced efficiency. We provide informed guidance to help determine whether repair or replacement is the most practical solution. 
Our sewer line repair services address serious pipe issues that extend beyond routine cleaning. Using video inspections, we evaluate underground lines in detail. When necessary, we replace damaged sections or entire lines. Each solution is tailored for long-term performance. 
We understand how easily toilet issues can go unnoticed until they create costly or disruptive problems. Running toilets, leaking gaskets, damaged supply lines, and failing seals can occur without obvious warning. We advise monitoring for floor moisture, ceiling stains, or movement at the base. Our team provides comprehensive toilet repairs, replacements, and related services to restore dependable performance. 
We deliver dependable water pipe repair for pipes affected by leaks, cracks, or internal obstructions. Drain systems exposed to debris and corrosion are more likely to fail. Even when leaks are not visible, water pressure can cause hidden damage. Our repairs are completed with accuracy and professional care. 
Our drain services address persistent clogs and failing drainage systems with a careful, professional approach. We evaluate each system before cleaning to determine the safest and most effective solution. Obstructions, debris, and residue are thoroughly removed to improve performance. If pipes or fittings are compromised, we restore functionality through expert repair or replacement. 
We specialize in professional boiler installation services that support reliable heating and hot water solutions. Boilers are known for their strength, efficiency, and long service life when properly installed. Our knowledgeable team applies careful planning and technical expertise to each system. This ensures dependable operation and consistent comfort for residential and commercial properties. 
Faucet problems may seem minor, but they can lead to ongoing inconvenience and unnecessary costs. Our licensed and insured plumbers handle faucet installations and repairs with precision and care. We prioritize clear pricing, dependable materials, and thorough service to deliver lasting solutions our customers can trust. 
We design and install sump pump systems that keep lower levels of a home dry and protected. By channeling water into a basin and activating at preset levels, the pump safely discharges water away from the structure. Our experience allows us to resolve ongoing moisture problems. Clients often experience lasting relief from basement flooding issues. 
We specialize in gas services that help homeowners take advantage of natural gas for everyday comfort. This energy source can efficiently power heating systems, kitchens, water heaters, and fireplaces. Improper installation can pose serious risks, which is why we prioritize professional workmanship. Our services include gas line installation, appliance setup, and leak repairs.

Great experience. Scheduling online was a breeze; team (Mike and Jonathan) was friendly and professional and quickly took care of a really tough clog that caused the disposal to empty onto the roof. Mike gave a couple of helpful pointers on how to avoid needing to hire a professional to deal with it again.

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.

Mike and John arrived promptly to get to work and ensure our plumbing issues were solved immediately. Mike's explanations for the plumbing issues were very easy to follow and he never hesitated to answer any questions my wife and I had. Can't speak enough to their professionalism and expertise. We were so impressed that we will be scheduling and turning over our plumbing to do list completely over to Metcalf Plumbing Services. I also appreciated a visit from the owner during the job - GREAT JOB gentlemen and Thank You!

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.

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!
