What affects the price
Plumbing repairs vary based on a few key factors. The primary driver is the complexity of the fix; reaching a pipe behind a wall or under a foundation takes more time than swapping a faucet. We also look at the parts needed, the specific materials involved, and whether the issue is a simple blockage or a deep line repair. Accessibility plays a major role, as does the urgency of the situation. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

The 135 rule generally refers to the slope of drainpipes to ensure proper drainage, with a 1/4 inch drop per foot of pipe. This is crucial for preventing clogs, especially in older Boston buildings. Proper installation by a pro ensures this.
