Customers say: Quality work

"Our water heat tank leaked. We called two plumbers and one need to wait for a week and the other required scheduling. So we called Floros. He gave us a quote after receiving the photos, and visited us on the same day. The work was done smoothly. He is knowledgeable and is helpful when we asked him about other issues in our unit. We will hire him again."

"George was wonderful to work with in the planning phase, very responsive, he answered all my questions as we discussed the install. I sent him photos of where the system would go and and he confirmed it would be a good fit. He arrived promptly on the install day, along with Dave who was also great, and they put in the system. About a half hour after they left, I discovered a leak from a small copper pipe and called George. He came right back to fix it which he did, but we realized it was not his work. Someone else had put in that section of copper tubing incorrectly. George was very kind and accommodating and fixed the problem. He and Dave were a pleasure and I really appreciated it and I would absolutely hire them again."

"The job went well. The floor boards in my shed were completely rotted out. Joe and his guys replaced it with a solid platform I can now use to store my snowblower, bikes, and other items without fear of causing more damage to the shed's floor. I'm very pleased with the job they did."

"My wife and I bought a 50 year old house with original windows in terrible shape that did little more than keep out the deer. We decided to replace them earlier this year, did some research and settled on Marvin's Ultimate Clad replacement line. We obtained 3 quotes for the job and Dave was the most professional, coming in with his Ipad to note details and discuss options with us. Initially all quotes came in between $63k-$65k, which we thought was a bit much given that we knew what the windows would cost if purchased direct. Dave came back a week later and pointed out several small adjustments to the job we could make that would bring the price down to $57k so we jumped at it. We also had him bid the external repairs to coincide with the windows, which he did aggressively as a package with the windows. 
The entire window replacement took them two and a half days. I questioned whether 40 windows could be replaced so quickly and with a quality install, but he did it. Dave brought a massive team of guys into the house and were meticulous. He runs a tight ship and supervised them himself. Brian did a great job replacing rotted sills. The windows are worth every penny and have substantially improved our home's appearance, from both inside and the outside. His team cleaned up after themselves well and were respectful of our home. Dave slightly reduced the size of the window muntins to account for the minimal glass loss that comes with replacement windows, and so it's not even noticeable. It was little things like that where his experience doing this shows. 
They did the external repairs to our satisfaction and were generous in their repairs, replacing some boards and patching up a hole where we removed an in-wall air conditioner even though it hadn't been part of the contract.
We had a great experience with DLM and would use them again in the future.

"Everything went great! Needed to find a local plumber in an emergency on a Saturday and Chris was able to be there within 30 minutes of talking to him. He observed the job and communicated what would need to be done and fixed/replaced everything that needed to be. He did tremendous work and I will definitely be calling on him again should I need something done in the future!!"

"Brandon did a number of other smaller jobs we asked throughout the original SOW and was receptive to everything we asked for. We could not be happier with his work and character as a professional and person. He provides a line-by-line item SOW, down the cost of material for masks and gloves. As the SOW changed, Brandon continuously updated the document. He saved us some money numerous times as portions of the SOW were deemed unnecessary by either him or us. That is rare. Highly recommend Superior to anyone! It's like hiring family members to do the work, but the family members actually show up and finish! He truly has your best interests in mind regarding time of completion, requests, changes, and price."

"All three jobs went great. For the water heater replacement Lewis came to my house at a convenient time for me, removed the heater changed out the rotted pipes and installed a new one with warranty. The price was great too. This job was time sensitive and he made me a priority to get it done. For the bathroom tub drain unclog he was very professional and did a great job. My garbage disposal was leaking and I came home to a pool of water in my cabinet and on the floor. Lewis came out quickly to resolve the issue for me. He replaced everything under the sink and showed me what he was doing each step of the way. I think that he is a great plumber if you want to get quality work and learn about each job too."

FAQs for water main install, replace or repair projects in Chelsea, MA

If you notice puddles or standing water in your yard, a sudden drop in water pressure, cracks forming in your foundation, frequent clogs in your plumbing fixtures, or water that looks or smells unusual, you might have a leak in your main water line. These signs mean it's time to call a professional to evaluate the issue and prevent further damage.

A professional water main inspection is a comprehensive evaluation performed by a licensed plumber who checks every section of your plumbing system. The inspection costs $165 and uses advanced diagnostic techniques to identify hidden leaks or wear. This service clarifies the exact condition of your water main, enabling precise repairs that prevent future damage and ensure the overall health of your plumbing system.

Protect your water main by scheduling a cleaning and inspection every two to five years. The average cost of a sewer line cleaning is $400. It’s also important to never dig in your yard without first calling the dig line (811) to ensure you don't accidentally hit the water or sewer lines. Watch for soil erosion, low water pressure, or wet spots in your yard, and take immediate action if you suspect a leak. Remember, the longer you leave it, the worse the problem gets and the more costly it is to fix.

When properly maintained, your water main is engineered to remain functional for 50 years or longer. A durable water service in excellent condition should consistently perform without major issues for half a century. In contrast, metal pipes exposed to acidic soil corrode faster, whereas modern plastic pipes resist corrosion and function for decades beyond metal alternatives. Regular maintenance and inspections are essential for confirming your system’s longevity.

No, homeowners insurance does not cover the cost to repair a water main. Insurers fund only sudden, unforeseen events like a burst pipe and exclude gradual issues or normal wear and tear. Damage resulting from leaks, such as mold remediation or property claims, is not covered. It is essential to contact your insurance provider immediately to confirm your policy’s details and any potential adjustments needed.
