Straight down Route 1 from Boston, Norwood is a town that likes running its own show — municipal light department, memorial airport, a proper downtown. Its housing spans South Norwood two-families, postwar capes and split-levels, and newer condos near the center, and IS Plumbing serves all of it with licensed plumbing, heating, gas fitting and drain work. Call +1 (774) 486-0909.
South Norwood's two-families and compact older singles keep us in the realities of hundred-year-old housing: worn valves, tired drains, heating systems stretched across two units. Elsewhere in town, the capes and split-levels of the postwar decades are cycling through their second or third water heaters and first full bath renovations, while condos near Norwood Center bring association work with its own coordination needs. Add basements that take on water in a wet spring, and Norwood generates steady demand for exactly what we do: heating replacement, gas work, drain clearing, sump pumps and honest repair-versus-replace advice.
Norwood buys its drinking water wholesale from the MWRA and distributes it through town-owned mains, and its sewers likewise feed the regional MWRA system — municipal service on both counts. The wildcard is private-side infrastructure: water services and sewer laterals in the older neighborhoods around South Norwood and the center have been in the ground a very long time.
The Town of Norwood's Building Department processes plumbing and gas permits and sends inspectors out as each stage of work is ready. A natural project in Norwood's older housing stock is the oil-to-gas heating conversion — retiring an oil burner and tank for gas equipment, with the piping, venting and permits handled as one coordinated job.
Based in Millbury, MA, we cover all of Norwood and the surrounding towns. Don't see your street? Call +1 (774) 486-0909 and ask.
Yes, where the street has gas service. We install the new equipment and piping, coordinate the utility connection and file every Town of Norwood permit — one contractor responsible for the whole sequence.
Yes — two-family plumbing and heating is familiar ground for us, including separate water heaters per unit, split-metering questions and drain lines shared between floors.
Start with a properly sized sump pump and a battery backup for outages. If sewage backs up rather than groundwater, that's a different fix — a backwater valve or lateral repair — and we can determine which you need.
Yes. We clear blockages and run camera inspections on laterals from South Norwood to the streets around Norwood Center, so you learn what caused the backup — not just that it's gone for now.
For scheduled work, yes — you get a firm price before we start. Emergencies move faster, but we still tell you the cost before tools come out. Call +1 (774) 486-0909.
