Dedham's neighborhoods each hand us a different problem set. Around Dedham Square and Precinct One, Victorians and antique colonials carry original drains, radiators and remodeling layered over remodeling. East Dedham's mill-era housing runs compact and old, with tight basements and pipe from another century. Oakdale, Greenlodge and Ashcroft are cape-and-ranch territory where water heaters, boilers and baths from the postwar years all come due at once. And along the Charles in Riverdale, wet basements make sump pumps and backwater protection part of the conversation. We work across all of it — repairs, replacements, remodels — with the paperwork done right.
Dedham's tap water doesn't come from the Quabbin: the Dedham-Westwood Water District pumps and treats a local groundwater supply for both towns. Wastewater is the opposite story — Dedham's sewers connect into the regional MWRA system. The practical upshot is municipal service on both ends, with water chemistry and pressure that can differ noticeably from neighboring MWRA-supplied communities.
The Dedham Building Department handles plumbing and gas permitting, with inspections scheduled as each phase wraps. Given the housing along the Charles and Mother Brook, one recurring project here is basement water management — sump pump installations and replacements, battery backups, and relocating equipment like water heaters up off floors that have flooded before.

Often, yes. A properly sized sump pump with battery backup is the first line; raising the water heater and adding a backwater valve protect what the pump can't. We assess your specific basement, not sell a package.
The Dedham-Westwood Water District, from local groundwater sources. Groundwater tends to carry more minerals than reservoir water, so if you're fighting scale or staining we can test and fit filtration or softening at the main.
Yes. We remove failing boilers and install properly sized modern equipment — and we'll be upfront that Mass Save no longer rebates gas or oil boilers, flagging only the incentives that genuinely apply before you decide.
Yes — full rough and finish plumbing for renovations, coordinated with your contractor and permitted through the Dedham Building Department. Older homes near the Square often hide surprises in the walls; we price honestly when they appear.
The lateral from your house to the main is typically the homeowner's. If it's backing up, we camera the line to establish whether the problem sits on your side before anyone starts digging.
