Services
Hot water systems are critical to the comfort and operation of residential plumbing. When problems develop or efficiency diminishes, professional assessment is recommended. Older water heaters often require more energy and maintenance. We offer practical solutions designed to enhance reliability while supporting long-term performance and cost management.
Our sewer line repair and replacement service addresses broken, collapsed, or severely clogged pipes that cannot be resolved through cleaning alone. We utilize modern equipment to evaluate underground lines and identify the root cause of failure. Every project is handled with precision to protect surrounding areas. Our goal is a reliable, long-term solution.
A properly functioning toilet is essential, yet many problems develop quietly. Running water, leaking gaskets, and unstable fixtures can create unnecessary expense and damage. Being alert to moisture, stains, or movement helps prevent larger concerns. We specialize in resolving toilet issues through expert repairs and carefully selected replacements.
Water pipe repair is essential when clogs or deterioration compromise plumbing systems. Pipes under constant pressure can turn minor leaks into serious structural concerns. Damage may occur even when water is not immediately visible. We provide reliable repairs that correct the issue and help prevent ongoing damage.
We provide comprehensive drain services designed to restore proper flow and protect your plumbing system. Our team begins with a detailed inspection, including camera diagnostics when needed, to identify the source of the issue. We safely remove buildup and obstructions while avoiding harsh chemicals. When components are damaged, we complete precise repairs or replacements to ensure long-term reliability.
Professional boiler installation is essential to achieving safe, efficient, and dependable system operation. We offer installation services built on experience, technical expertise, and careful attention to detail. Boilers are known for their durability and long lifespan when properly installed. Our team ensures each system meets high performance standards.
Our team offers reliable faucet installation and repair services performed by licensed and insured professionals. We focus on efficient service, durable parts, and honest pricing to eliminate uncertainty. Each project is completed with care to ensure dependable operation and complete customer satisfaction.
Our sump pump services are intended to eliminate ongoing basement water problems through proper system design. Pumps activate automatically as water accumulates, removing it before flooding can occur. We have installed systems from the ground up with proven results. Many clients report a complete end to prior flooding issues.
We deliver comprehensive gas services that give homeowners a safe alternative to oil and electricity. Natural gas can efficiently operate heating systems, appliances, water heaters, and fireplaces. Due to the risks involved with improper handling, our work emphasizes safety and accuracy. Gas line installation and repair remain one of our core areas of expertise. People

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.

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.

I had a ceiling leak from an upstairs bathroom. A section of the ceiling had to be cut open to find where the leak was coming from, which turned out to be the toilet. The wax ring was replaced under the toilet. Everything was done quickly and professionally, they cleaned up after the job and were very pleasant to work with.

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.

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 recently had a catastrophic plumbing issue at my home, and Im beyond thankful for the incredible service provided by this company. From the moment they arrived, the experience was nothing short of outstanding.
The two technicians who came out were absolutely fantasticskilled, professional, friendly, and courteous. They not only solved the problem efficiently but also took the time to explain everything clearly, offering helpful tips and advice along the way. Their calm demeanor and clear communication made a stressful situation much more manageable.
The owner personally checked on the work, ensure everything met high standards, and took the time to chat with me. That kind of personal touch and commitment to quality is rare these days.
If you're in need of plumbing help and want a team that truly cares, acts professionally, and goes the extra mile, this is the company to call. Highly recommended!

We had an urgent plumbing issue at our home, and reached out to Metcalf Plumbing after reading some positive reviews. From the first call, we were impressed with their professionalism & response time. The technicians that came (Michael, Jonathan & Chris) arrived promptly as scheduled and explained the problem in clear terms to us and fixed the issue. They also took the time to ensure everything was working properly before leaving. I appreciate their honesty, expertise, and friendly customer service. We will definitely be calling them again for any future plumbing needs and highly recommend them to anyone looking in the area for reliable, high-quality plumbing services!

We've had to call Metcalf Plumbing twice now (once for water service line replacement and more recently for our leaking water heater). Both times, Metcalf has been easy to work with from start to finish. For both projects, Metcalf showed up on time, explained what was going on, our options, and price estimates. For our water line, Les, Lou, and Mike M. all came out. For our water heater, it was just Mike M. Both times, everyone was friendly, encouraged us to ask questions, polite, treated our home like it was their home, etc. We can't recommend them enough!
