Residential plumbing repair and installation for homes in Roslindale and the surrounding towns.
Repair and installation of gas, electric, hybrid, tankless and indirect water heaters. In homes heated by a boiler, an indirect tank heated by that boiler is often a good option. Safety pans and automatic shut-offs can be added at installation.

The plumbing and gas side of a kitchen remodel in Roslindale and nearby towns: sinks, dishwashers, disposals, icemakers and gas range hookups, or a switch from gas to electric.
Learn more about kitchen remodeling →Pipelines was formed in the mid-1980s by Maura Russell, a pioneer in what was then a strictly male trade. In 1993, Chris Ernst and Maura restarted the company, and Chris has been the sole owner since 1999. The company still runs on the principles it started with: work with integrity, know the trade, treat people with respect and take pride in the work.
Chris has been a plumber for 45 years and holds Massachusetts master plumber and master pipefitter licenses. In 1981 she became the first woman apprentice in Plumbers and Steamfitters Local 349. The four plumbers on the crew have about 118 years in the trade between them, with factory training from Viessmann, Bosch, Buderus and Lochinvar.
Most of Pipelines' work is in older homes with steam and hot water heat and original piping. No two are the same inside, so the plumber looks at what's there before recommending anything, and explains the options before work starts. Where it makes sense, that includes more efficient heating equipment and water-saving fixtures.

Gas, electric, hybrid, tankless and indirect water heaters. In homes heated by a boiler, an indirect tank heated by that boiler is often a good option. Water heaters carry their own manufacturer warranty terms, which Pipelines reviews with you before purchase.
The most common causes are a failing pressure reducing valve, a problem with the pressure tank, or a clogged water main or main valve. Pipelines finds the cause and repairs it.
Yes. Pipelines installs automatic main shut-offs, which some insurers require, and adds safety pans and automatic shut-offs to water heaters and washing machines. Pipelines can also add a house-side shut-off valve to your water main if you only have one on the street side.
Yes, for existing customers, meaning anyone Pipelines has completed a job for and been paid by. When the office is closed, the voicemail gives the emergency number. New customers can schedule regular work at any time.
No. Pipelines does not do drain cleaning, sewer or excavation work. It does replace failing cast iron and galvanized drains and vents inside the house.
Pipelines does. In Boston, plumbing and gas permits are only issued to the licensed contractor doing the work.
