Hingham Express Plumbing takes plumbing calls 24/7 for repairs, installs and emergencies across Hingham, Cohasset, Weymouth, Norwell and Hull. This page groups our 21 service pages by the kind of problem you have.
If water is moving where it should not
A pipe that has split, a faucet that will not shut off or a basement taking on water is an emergency. Start with emergency burst pipe repair, which explains how to stop the water and what the repair involves. If you cannot see the source, leak detection finds hidden leaks and high-bill causes, and water service line repair covers the buried line between the street and the house.
Water coming in from outside is a different case. Sump pump repair covers failed pumps and backups, and basement waterproofing explains how to tell a pipe leak from groundwater and what the plumbing side of the fix looks like. Faucet repair and toilet repair handle the fixtures that fail most often.
Drains, sewers and clogs
Start with drain cleaning for sinks, tubs and toilets. When several fixtures are slow or a floor drain rises, sewer line cleaning clears the main line. If a clog keeps returning, hydro jetting cleans the pipe wall, and a sewer camera inspection shows what is inside before you spend more.
When the camera finds a broken or collapsed pipe, sewer line repair covers spot repairs, trenchless lining and replacement. Kitchen units have their own page, garbage disposal repair.
Hot water and heating
A failed tank is a water heater replacement call, and a part failure is a water heater repair call. Planning an upgrade? Water heater installation and tankless water heater explain sizing, venting and permits. For heat, boiler repair covers leaks, valves and pumps on hydronic systems.
Pipes, upgrades and commercial work
When pipes fail in several places, repiping replaces the supply lines. New fixtures, bathrooms and appliance connections are covered by plumbing installation. Businesses can book commercial plumbing for after-hours emergencies and planned work.

What is the same on every page
Every page describes how a plumber diagnoses the problem, what influences the price and what insurance usually does and does not cover. You get a clear price before work starts. Where a permit is needed, the licensed plumber doing the work applies for it and schedules the inspection, and we cite the Hingham fee schedule when it applies.
Massachusetts requires a licensed master or journeyman plumber for plumbing work, and the state's eLIPSE portal lets you check any license. We explain how on the About page. If you are unsure which service fits, call our 24/7 line and describe the problem.
