Leak Detection & Repair for Newton Homes
Hunt Plumbing And Heating INC provides leak detection & repair for homes and businesses in Newton, MA. A small drip can turn into stained ceilings, warped floors and mold. We locate leaks — including the hidden ones — and repair them before they cause more damage.
Newton has some of the oldest housing in the area: 49% of homes were built before 1940, and the median home dates to 1942. In older homes, water can travel along framing and old pipe runs before it shows, so we trace leaks to their actual source.

Local housing

Based on the last ten years of weather data for Newton, nights drop to freezing or below on about 111 days a year, and on roughly 20 days the temperature stays below freezing all day. The average January low is 21.8°F. Freeze damage doesn't always leak right away — a split can open up when the pipe thaws, so check exposed pipes after a cold snap.
