Belmont calls itself the Town of Homes, and the housing backs it up: shingled two-families near Waverley Square, brick colonials on Belmont Hill, tidy capes around Winn Brook. IS Plumbing keeps their plumbing, gas and heating running — honest diagnosis, replacements sized to the actual house, and every permit filed with the town's own inspections office before work begins.
Belmont's housing splits by geography: the flats near Waverley and Cushing Squares are two-family territory from the streetcar era, while Belmont Hill carries larger single-families from the 1920s onward, many with multi-zone hydronic heat and the original radiators still in service. Both types are reaching ages where supply pipe, drains and heating plants need decisions, not patches. We give straight answers about what can be repaired and what has genuinely reached the end, then do the chosen work cleanly — repipes, boiler and water heater replacements, gas piping, bathroom plumbing for renovations. Permits and inspections are handled by us, start to finish.
Belmont buys its water wholesale from the MWRA and sends its wastewater back into the MWRA system for treatment at Deer Island; the town maintains the local mains and hydrants itself. Pre-war streets can still hide lead or galvanized service lines on the private side, and the clay sewer laterals typical of that era are prone to root intrusion — a camera inspection settles what shape yours is in.
Plumbing and gas permits in Belmont are filed with the town's own inspections office under its Community Development department — not with any neighboring city — and we handle the filing and inspection scheduling. A frequent question locally is the steam-to-hot-water conversion on Belmont Hill: we evaluate honestly, because sometimes servicing the existing steam system is the smarter money.

Not automatically. Conversions make sense during major renovations; otherwise a well-tuned steam boiler with correct venting often heats beautifully. We assess your system and give you both numbers before you decide.
If the building has per-unit shutoffs, yes. If it doesn't, we add them during the job so no future repair ever takes both households offline again.
Yes — a plumbing or gas permit through the town's inspections office, plus inspection. We file under Master Plumber license #17137 and schedule the inspector as part of the install.
We do. They suit Belmont basements with some open volume, and Mass Save currently offers rebates on qualifying heat pump water heaters — we confirm eligibility before you commit to one.
Could be either: a partially blocked branch line or a venting problem, both common in older Belmont two-families. We diagnose before quoting, so you don't pay for a repipe when a cleanout and vent fix will do.
