Lexington Plumber, Repairs, Water Heaters & Drains

Yes. In Lexington, most plumbing and gas work requires a permit issued through the Town of Lexington’s Building and Inspectional Services division, and the work must be inspected for code compliance. Permits protect you by confirming the job meets Massachusetts plumbing and gas codes. As a licensed and insured company with a master plumber on staff, CleanTap pulls the necessary permits and coordinates inspections as part of your project, so you never have to navigate the paperwork alone. Minor repairs may not require a permit, and we will always tell you upfront what your specific job needs.

CleanTap offers 24/7 emergency plumbing service to Lexington homeowners, so you can reach us any hour of the day or night. Our crews are based in Braintree and Mansfield and dispatch throughout the greater Boston area, including Lexington via Route 2 and Route 128/I-95. Response times vary with traffic and demand, but we prioritize true emergencies like burst pipes, major leaks, and failed water heaters. When you call (781) 630-5449, we will give you a realistic arrival window and, when possible, walk you through steps to limit damage until we get there.

Lexington’s water comes from the MWRA’s Quabbin and Wachusett Reservoirs and is treated soft surface water disinfected with chloramine, so the supply itself is high quality. The bigger concern in Lexington is the plumbing inside older homes. Houses built before about 1940 may still have lead service lines or lead solder, which can affect water at the tap. If your home is historic, we recommend a water test. Based on the results, CleanTap can install targeted or whole-home filtration and replace aging or lead-bearing service lines to keep your family’s water clean and safe.

CleanTap installs trusted, high-quality water heaters from Bradford White and Rheem for traditional tank systems, and Navien and Rinnai for tankless models. The right choice depends on your home’s size, hot water demand, fuel type, and available space, which matter in Lexington’s mix of historic and newer homes. Our master plumber will assess your setup and recommend the best fit, whether you want a straightforward tank replacement or an energy-efficient tankless upgrade. We also offer financing to make the investment easier. Call (781) 630-5449 to discuss options and schedule a professional installation.

Yes. Massachusetts requires a licensed plumber for most work, and CleanTap is fully licensed and insured with a master plumber on staff and 60+ years of combined experience. The same local pros who quote your job do the work, no subcontractors.

Yes. Burst pipes, major leaks, no hot water, and sewer backups don’t wait for business hours, so we offer 24/7 emergency plumbing across Greater Boston, the South Shore, and Eastern MA. Call (781) 630-5449 and a licensed local plumber will get to you fast.

As a general guide, typical installed ranges in MA are about $700–$1,250 for a gas tank, $650–$1,150 for an electric tank, $1,300–$2,500 for a gas tankless, and $1,600–$2,700 for a heat-pump (hybrid) unit, plus a permit ($50–$150) and any code upgrades. Your home’s setup affects the final number, so we give you an upfront, fixed quote before any work.

Tankless units heat water on demand, save space, and last longer, but cost more upfront and may need venting or gas-line upgrades. A traditional tank is cheaper to install and simple to service. We’ll size both options for your home and hot-water demand so you can choose with real numbers in hand.

In Massachusetts, most water-heater replacements and plumbing alterations require a permit and licensed installation. We pull the proper permits and install to code, so your work passes inspection and protects your home’s value.

Both, depending on the blockage. A cable/snake clears most routine clogs; hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to fully scour grease, scale, and roots from the line for a longer-lasting fix. We diagnose first and recommend the right method, no upselling.

Recurring leaks, discolored or rusty water, low pressure across the house, and old galvanized or polybutylene pipe are all signs. We’ll inspect and tell you honestly whether targeted repairs or a full repipe makes more sense for your home.

As fast as possible, we run 24/7 emergency service across Greater Boston and the South Shore, and a licensed local plumber (not a call center) answers and dispatches. For active flooding or a gas smell, shut off the water or leave the home, then call (781) 630-5449.

Often, yes. For common tank models we frequently diagnose and replace the same day so your home isn’t without hot water. Tankless conversions may take longer if venting or gas-line work is needed, we’ll tell you upfront.

Yes. Whole-house low pressure can come from old galvanized pipe, a failing pressure regulator, or buildup in the lines. We diagnose the actual cause and fix it, sometimes a simple repair, sometimes a repipe, and tell you honestly which makes sense.

Yes. For bigger jobs like water-heater replacements, repipes, and sewer-line work, we offer flexible financing so you can move forward without a big upfront hit. We’ll go over the options with your quote.
