Westwood pairs Islington's postwar capes and ranches with larger colonials on winding roads toward Dover — two housing generations, two sets of plumbing needs, one licensed shop covering both. IS Plumbing handles plumbing, heating, gas fitting, water heaters and drains throughout Westwood, MA, including the High Street corridor and the newer University Station side of town. Call +1 (774) 486-0909 for scheduled work or emergencies.
In Islington, we see the classic mid-century package: original copper, aging cast iron, water heaters wedged beside furnaces, and baths ready for their first real renovation in decades. Across Westwood's larger-lot neighborhoods, the houses are newer or heavily rebuilt, with multiple bathrooms, bigger hot-water demand and gas appliances that justify tankless systems and recirculation. The town also straddles the sewer line literally — some streets connect to municipal sewer while others still run septic — which changes how we approach drain problems, fixture choices and additions. We establish which rules apply to your street before work begins.
Westwood shares its water with Dedham through the Dedham-Westwood Water District, which draws on local groundwater rather than MWRA reservoirs. Wastewater is split: much of town connects to sewer, but a meaningful share of Westwood properties — especially on larger lots — still operate private septic systems, which shapes everything from garbage disposal advice to how an addition gets plumbed.
Plumbing and gas permits in Westwood go through the town's Building Department, with inspections booked as phases complete. A characteristic Westwood project is the oil-to-gas or tankless conversion: bigger homes with high hot-water demand are strong candidates for tankless equipment, but the venting, gas sizing and permits have to be engineered, not guessed.
Based in Millbury, MA, we cover all of Westwood and the surrounding towns. Don't see your street? Call +1 (774) 486-0909 and ask.
Check with the town for a septic record — or ask us and we'll help you find out. It matters: septic homes need different habits and different plumbing decisions, from disposals to water softener discharge.
Frequently, yes. Households with several baths benefit most, provided the gas line is sized to feed the unit. We evaluate your meter, piping and demand before recommending tankless over a conventional tank.
Yes, where gas is available on your street. We handle the gas piping, appliance installation and Town of Westwood permits; the utility handles the service connection. We map the full sequence before you commit.
Yes. Dedham-Westwood Water District water comes from local groundwater, and some households prefer added filtration or softening for taste, scale or staining. We test first and size equipment to what the test shows.
All of it — Islington, the High Street corridor, homes near University Station and the larger-lot roads toward Dover. Scheduled visits and genuine emergencies alike: +1 (774) 486-0909.
