Plumbing in Chelsea: What's Local

What the data says about homes in Chelsea — and what it means for emergency plumbing.

  • Winter in Chelsea

    Based on the last ten years of weather data for Chelsea, nights drop to freezing or below on about 107 days a year, and on roughly 20 days the temperature stays below freezing all day.

  • Local housing

    Chelsea has some of the oldest housing in the area: 50% of homes were built before 1940, and the median home dates to 1941. Older piping is more likely to fail suddenly at a joint or valve, so knowing where your main shut-off is matters.

  • Sewer & septic

    Municipal sewer discharging to the MWRA system (Deer Island Treatment Plant). For a sewage backup, stop using water and call us — we'll determine whether the blockage is in your line.

Good to know about emergency plumbing

  • EPA WaterSense reports that the average household's leaks can account for more than 9,300 gallons of water wasted every year, and nine percent of homes have leaks that waste 50 gallons or more per day.

    epa.gov
  • EPA suggests checking your water meter before and after a two-hour period when no water is being used; if the reading changes, you likely have a leak.

    epa.gov
  • FEMA notes that sewer backflow (backwater) valves let water flow only one direction and prevent floodwater and wastewater from backing up into a home through toilets, sinks and other drains, and that they should be installed by a qualified, licensed plumber.
