Plumbing and heating in Natick
Home. The shop is on Washington Ave, and the work runs out across MetroWest from there. Below is one Natick job: a water heater moved for a chimney that came out, and a whole floor replumbed during a renovation.

The chimney came out, so the water heater moved
The house had a conventional water heater, a tank that vented up the chimney, and the chimney was coming out. Our team removed the tank so that could happen, and installed an on demand water heater in a new location. An on demand heater, the tankless kind, makes hot water as it is used instead of keeping a tank of it hot, and it does not need the chimney.
More on how the two kinds compare, and which suits which house, on the water heaters page.
The same house, opened up
The house was being renovated, and with the walls open the first floor half bath and the kitchen were both moved to new spots. Our team ran the water and drain lines to where each room was going. The second floor bathroom stayed where it was, and its plumbing was updated while the walls were open, because that is the one time it can be done without opening them again.
Two bigger pieces went with it. The main drain line that carries everything in the house down and out to the sewer, which plumbers call the main stack, was replaced and moved to suit the new layout. And the water main, the line that brings water into the house from the street, was upgraded.
That is the shape of a remodel on this site: the pipes move. The fixtures that went back in at the end are kitchen and bath work.

About Natick
Natick is really two housing stories in one town. Around the center and down through South Natick there are streets built long before the war, and then a wave of neighborhoods that went up through the 1950s with another round of building in the 1980s, which puts the middle of the town's housing stock around 1968. In one day that can mean a pre-war house with original cast iron drains in the morning and a 1950s ranch in the afternoon. Natick pumps its own water and sends its wastewater out on the MWRA sewer system.
