Sewer Line Repair for Chelsea Homes

Homeowners across Chelsea call Hunt Plumbing And Heating INC when they need sewer line repair done properly. When the main sewer line fails, every drain in the house is affected. We find the problem in your sewer line and repair it so wastewater flows away safely.

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 sewer laterals can be made of clay or cast iron, which can crack or let roots in over time — we locate the problem before recommending a repair.

We serve ZIP code 02150 and every community within 25 km of Chelsea, and our nearest neighboring service areas for sewer line repair include Revere, Everett and Winthrop.
