Concord's antique farmhouses and village colonials deserve a plumber who respects what they are. IS Plumbing repipes original supply lines, rebuilds aging drains, services boilers and radiators, and installs modern water heaters in homes from Monument Square to West Concord — carefully, with permits filed and inspections passed. Our Master Plumber license is #17137, and the shop is in Millbury, an easy reach from Route 2.
Few towns in Massachusetts carry as much old housing as Concord: 18th- and 19th-century farmhouses along the Lowell Road and Monument Street corridors, village houses ringing the center, and the mid-century modern enclave at Conantum on the Sudbury River. Antique homes here hide hand-dug cellars, stone foundations, and plumbing added in layers across a century — which is why we open walls sparingly, reuse original chases where we can, and plan repipes room by room. Exterior changes in the historic districts get extra scrutiny, so we route vents and flues to keep the streetscape untouched.
Concord supplies town water from local wells plus the Nagog Pond source, and the village core and West Concord carry municipal sewer while a real share of outlying roads remains on septic. Groundwater-fed supply means mineral scale is a slow, steady enemy of water heaters here — worth a look whenever we are already on site.
Permits run through Concord's Building Inspections Division, and work visible from the street in the historic districts can also involve the Historic Districts Commission — we plan flue and vent routing with that in mind. Our most requested Concord job is antique-home repiping: retiring old steel and lead-era piping without tearing up original plaster.

That is the goal on every one of these jobs. We map existing chases, fish new PEX or copper through closets and floor bays, and open plaster only where there is no other path — then document what we touched.
It can affect anything visible outside — flue terminations, vent penetrations, exterior equipment. We route those away from the street side whenever possible and flag anything that needs Historic Districts Commission attention before work begins.
Yes. Many houses near Monument Square and along Lowell Road still heat with hot-water radiators fed by aging boilers; we repair what is worth repairing and install high-efficiency replacements when it is not.
We file with Concord's Building Inspections Division ourselves on every job, schedule the inspection, and stay until it passes — the homeowner never has to manage that process.
Yes. On septic streets around Nine Acre Corner and the outskirts we clear drains mechanically and skip harsh chemical cleaners, which can kill the bacteria a septic system needs to work.
