You turn the faucet, water flows at the right pressure. Your toilet flushes without that annoying running sound that’s been driving you crazy for months. Hot water shows up when you need it, not five minutes later.
That’s what happens when your plumbing contractor understands Brookline’s older homes and doesn’t cut corners on the repair. You get back to your routine without worrying about the next breakdown or surprise flood in your basement.
When your plumbing works right, you forget it’s even there. That’s exactly how it should be.
Emma Plumbing And Drain Services has been fixing plumbing in Brookline since 2007. We’ve seen what happens to pipes in these century-old homes when winter hits, and we know how to handle the low water pressure issues that come with corroded lines in neighborhoods like Chestnut Hill and Harvard Avenue.
Our team understands that calling a plumbing contractor shouldn’t mean gambling with your budget. That’s why we give you upfront pricing before we start and back our work with real warranties.
We’re your neighbors, not some corporate chain. When we finish a job, we want to see you at the grocery store without you crossing to the other aisle.
First, we show up when we say we will. Our plumber inspects the problem, explains what’s wrong in plain English, and gives you an exact price before touching anything.
No “we’ll see what we find” pricing games. No surprise fees when the job’s done.
Once you approve the work, we fix it using the right materials and methods. We clean up after ourselves because it’s your home, not our workshop. Then we test everything to make sure it works properly and show you what we did.
You get a warranty on the work, our direct number for any questions, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing it’s handled correctly.

We handle the full range of plumbing issues that Brookline homeowners face. Emergency repairs when pipes burst during those brutal February cold snaps. Drain cleaning that actually works, not just pushes the clog further down. Water heater repair and replacement when you’re tired of cold showers.
For older homes, we specialize in updating corroded galvanized pipes that cause low water pressure throughout your house. We also provide main sewer line camera inspections free for new customers—because knowing what’s happening underground prevents bigger problems later.
Our service area covers all of Brookline and the surrounding Norfolk County communities. Whether you’re dealing with a minor leak or a major plumbing emergency, we bring the right tools and experience to solve it properly the first time.
Plumbing contractor costs in Brookline typically range from $119 to $397 for standard repairs, with emergency services averaging $150 per hour plus trip fees. However, these numbers don’t tell the whole story.
What matters more is getting transparent pricing upfront. We provide exact costs before starting any work, so you never face surprise charges when the job’s done. Simple repairs like fixing a leaky faucet might cost $150-400, while major issues like burst pipes can run $1,000-4,000 depending on the damage.
The real cost isn’t just the immediate repair—it’s choosing a plumbing contractor who fixes the problem correctly so you don’t pay twice for the same issue.
Older Brookline homes, especially in areas like Chestnut Hill North and Harvard Avenue, commonly face low water pressure from corroded galvanized pipes and rusted cast iron systems. These materials degrade over time, creating restrictions that affect your entire plumbing system.
Winter brings frozen and burst pipes, particularly in homes with poor insulation around plumbing lines. Hard water buildup also causes widespread problems, reducing water pressure and damaging appliances like water heaters and washing machines.
Running toilets and dripping faucets might seem minor, but they indicate failing internal components and can significantly increase your water bills. The key is addressing these issues before they escalate into major repairs that damage your home’s structure.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency plumbing services throughout Brookline and Norfolk County. Plumbing emergencies don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we.
Emergency situations include burst pipes, major leaks, sewage backups, complete loss of water, or gas smells. These problems can cause significant property damage or safety risks if not addressed immediately, so we prioritize rapid response.
Our emergency service includes the same upfront pricing and quality workmanship as our scheduled appointments. We carry fully stocked trucks and the diagnostic equipment needed to handle most emergency repairs on the first visit, minimizing the disruption to your home and routine.
Most standard plumbing repairs in Brookline homes take 1-3 hours to complete. Simple fixes like replacing a faucet or unclogging a drain usually finish within an hour, while more complex issues like water heater replacement or pipe repairs can take several hours.
The timeline depends on the problem’s complexity and your home’s specific plumbing configuration. Older Brookline homes sometimes present unexpected challenges when we access pipes or discover additional issues that need attention for a complete repair.
We always provide time estimates along with our pricing, and we’ll keep you informed if we discover anything that might extend the work. Our goal is completing the job correctly in one visit rather than rushing through and creating callbacks.
We provide a 1-year labor warranty on all plumbing repairs and installations, plus a 7-day warranty specifically on drain cleaning services. This means if the same problem returns within the warranty period, we’ll fix it at no additional charge.
Our warranties cover our workmanship and the quality of the repair, giving you confidence that the job was done correctly. We also honor manufacturer warranties on any parts or fixtures we install, and we’ll help you navigate warranty claims if needed.
These warranties aren’t just promises—they’re backed by our commitment to doing the job right the first time. We’ve been serving Brookline since 2007, and our reputation depends on standing behind our work long after we leave your home.
Yes, we are fully licensed by the Massachusetts Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters, and we carry comprehensive liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage.
Our licensing means we’re qualified to handle all aspects of plumbing work in Brookline, from simple repairs to complex installations that require permits and inspections. We stay current with local building codes and safety requirements.
Insurance protects both you and our team. If something unexpected happens during the work, you’re covered. We can provide proof of licensing and insurance before starting any project, and we recommend that every homeowner verify these credentials with any plumbing contractor they’re considering.
