Services
Consistent hot water is essential for maintaining daily routines and household comfort. When a water heater experiences performance issues, addressing them promptly can prevent additional complications. Aging systems frequently operate less efficiently over time. We focus on delivering reliable water heating solutions that support long-term functionality and cost-effective operation.
We provide specialized sewer line repair and replacement for systems experiencing backups or failure. Advanced inspection technology helps us locate hidden damage below ground. Based on our findings, we perform targeted repairs or complete replacements. Our methods emphasize reliability and reduced disruption.
Toilets are often overlooked until a malfunction becomes disruptive. Internal leaks, failing seals, and loose mounting can cause water loss and property damage. Signs such as floor moisture or ceiling marks below the fixture require attention. We provide reliable toilet repair and replacement services to maintain safe, efficient operation.
Water pipe repair is necessary when clogged drains and aging pipes begin to leak or crack. These issues may not always show immediate signs but can still cause internal damage. Pressurized water increases the risk of worsening conditions. We provide expert repairs to ensure pipes function properly and safely.
We provide dependable drain cleaning and repair services that support the overall function of your plumbing system. An inspection is conducted to locate obstructions and evaluate pipe condition. Accumulated materials are thoroughly cleared to restore proper flow. If drains are compromised, we complete repairs or replacements to prevent further issues.
Boilers continue to be a proven heating solution due to their durable construction and dependable performance. We deliver expert boiler installation services backed by years of professional experience. Our team focuses on accuracy, system efficiency, and long-term reliability. Each installation is completed to meet high standards of quality and performance.
We specialize in professional faucet repair and installation for homeowners seeking dependable results. Our trained plumbers approach each project with attention to detail and industry expertise. By using quality components and clear pricing, we ensure every service delivers long-term performance and customer confidence.
We install modern sump pump pits constructed from durable materials to reduce leakage and odors. Older metal pits are prone to corrosion and can release sewer gases or liquids over time. Upgraded systems help maintain a cleaner and safer environment. Our installations are tailored to the specific needs of each property.
We provide professional gas services that allow homeowners to safely power essential appliances with natural gas. This energy option supports heating systems, cooking equipment, water heaters, and fireplaces. When installed and serviced correctly, gas systems offer efficiency and affordability. Our team specializes in gas line installation and repair, delivering dependable solutions with strict attention to safety. People

Very quick and very kind. Helped me to verify what was going on as a second opinion and of course both them and the people at honest Abe were right about my aquastat. Mike really took the time to hear me out and was sensitive to my obvious lack of financing. I highly recommend both him and the individual on the phone were very helpful.

Metcalf Plumbing services were provided by two plumbers who were very meticulous and persistent with efforts to detect the root cause of a plumbing leak from bathroom above dining room. Not able to detect the cause, they suspect the leakage, in theory, may have been caused by defective wax ring. They thoroughly and closely examined the pipes above dining room ceiling, finding insufficient evidence of cause, even with running water in shower and flushing toilet multiple times. If leakage reoccurs, there will be a followup service call. I am happy with their high quality of work and professionalism.

Very professional. They wore booties and cleaned up the work area. They offered to come the same day but that actually didn't work for me, so they came a couple days later. They fixed some poor workmanship done by a prior plumber as well as taking care of the acute problem. Mike worked tirelessly until it was taken care of. I am very grateful. I would wholeheartedly recommend them and would not hesitate to use them again.

I had a ceiling leak from an upstairs bathroom. A section of the ceiling had to be cut open to find where the leak was coming from, which turned out to be the toilet. The wax ring was replaced under the toilet. Everything was done quickly and professionally, they cleaned up after the job and were very pleasant to work with.

I have hired Metcalf Plumbing on three occasions for various different services. In every case, Mike was prompt, courteous, very neat and worked efficiently with great skill to successfully complete each task. He came up with some creative approaches to avoid making holes in tile or drywall which was greatly appreciated. I couldnt be happier with Mike M. and the entire Metcalf staff. Even met owner who was also a pleasure to speak with.

Mr. Metcalf and Johnathan showed up on time (early), listened to our concerns about our needs, and gave us an estimate on each aspect of the work. When we approved the work to be done, they got right to work. The work was done efficiently and cleanly. Everything was left as they found it. Highly recommended. Thanks.

I recently had a catastrophic plumbing issue at my home, and Im beyond thankful for the incredible service provided by this company. From the moment they arrived, the experience was nothing short of outstanding.
The two technicians who came out were absolutely fantasticskilled, professional, friendly, and courteous. They not only solved the problem efficiently but also took the time to explain everything clearly, offering helpful tips and advice along the way. Their calm demeanor and clear communication made a stressful situation much more manageable.
The owner personally checked on the work, ensure everything met high standards, and took the time to chat with me. That kind of personal touch and commitment to quality is rare these days.

If you need a plumber, you can feel good about calling Metcalf. They are honest, and they go the extra mile to solve your issues. We saw water on our kitchen ceiling under our bathroom. We were able to get a timely appointment and Michael spent a long time tracing the issue. The charge was very reasonable and the staff is friendly and helpful.

We had an urgent plumbing issue at our home, and reached out to Metcalf Plumbing after reading some positive reviews. From the first call, we were impressed with their professionalism & response time. The technicians that came (Michael, Jonathan & Chris) arrived promptly as scheduled and explained the problem in clear terms to us and fixed the issue. They also took the time to ensure everything was working properly before leaving. I appreciate their honesty, expertise, and friendly customer service. We will definitely be calling them again for any future plumbing needs and highly recommend them to anyone looking in the area for reliable, high-quality plumbing services!
