Plumbing in Quincy: What's Local

What the data says about homes in Quincy — and what it means for leak detection & repair.

  • Local housing

    Much of Quincy's housing is mid-century or older — 52% of homes were built before 1960 (median year built: 1958). We trace leaks to their source, whether they're in an older pipe run or a newer fitting.

  • Water supply

    Quincy's water: MWRA-supplied water from the Quabbin and Wachusett reservoirs. Unexplained jumps in your water bill are often the first sign of a hidden leak.

  • Winter in Quincy

    Based on the last ten years of weather data for Quincy, nights drop to freezing or below on about 98 days a year, and on roughly 19 days the temperature stays below freezing all day. The average January low is 23.7°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.
