How does Cornerstone Plumbing find a hidden leak?
Cornerstone Plumbing starts with diagnosis, tracing where the water is coming from before cutting into walls or ceilings. In reviews, customers describe a leak traced to a closet wall and repaired the same afternoon, and a suspected wall leak that another plumber wanted to cut open, solved without cutting the wall at all.
What should I do if a pipe bursts?
Shut off the main water valve right away, usually where the water line enters the basement, then turn off electricity to any wet area if it's safe to reach the breaker. Open a faucet to drain the lines, photograph the damage for insurance, and call Cornerstone Plumbing at (508) 361-9450 to arrange the repair.
Why does my toilet keep running?
A toilet that keeps running usually has a worn flapper, a misadjusted float, or a fill valve that isn't shutting off. A running toilet can waste a lot of water and raise the water bill. Cornerstone Plumbing repairs or replaces the worn parts, or the whole toilet, for homes and rental properties around Milford.
Why is the water pressure low in my whole house?
Low pressure throughout a house usually points to a partly closed main valve, a failing pressure regulator, corroded older pipes, or a hidden leak. On private wells it can also be the pressure tank or pump. Cornerstone Plumbing tracks down the cause before recommending a fix, so you don't pay for parts you didn't need.
Do I need a sump pump battery backup?
If your basement depends on a sump pump, a battery backup is worth having. The heavy rain that fills a sump pit often comes with storms that knock out power, which is exactly when the main pump stops. A backup pump runs on its own battery until power returns. Cornerstone Plumbing installs and replaces sump pumps and battery backups.
Can a homeowner do their own plumbing in Massachusetts?
No. Unlike New Hampshire and Maine, Massachusetts has no homeowner exemption: plumbing work must be done by a licensed master or journeyman plumber, with permits from the local inspector where required. Small jobs like clearing a drain or fixing a leaky faucet washer don't need a permit. Cornerstone Plumbing handles the permitted work.
How soon can Cornerstone Plumbing come out?
Cornerstone Plumbing can usually come out the next day. A same-day visit is sometimes possible when the schedule allows, with an added fee for moving other jobs. For a true emergency outside Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM, Cornerstone offers 24-hour emergency service with an after-hours fee. Call (508) 361-9450 to check the schedule.
