South Shore homes built decades ago often have aging plumbing infrastructure — cast iron drain lines, galvanized steel water pipes, and old copper fittings that have deteriorated over time. AJM Plumbing & Heating specializes in upgrading these systems with modern materials that last for decades and perform reliably year after year.
Water Line Repair & Replacement
Old galvanized or brass water supply lines corrode from the inside out — reducing water pressure, discoloring your water, and eventually failing entirely. We replace aging water supply lines with modern materials throughout Rockland, Quincy, Braintree, Hingham, Weymouth, and across the South Shore. Services include:
- Full home repiping — replacing all supply lines from meter to fixtures
- Partial repiping — targeted replacement of failing sections
- Water main repair and replacement from street to home
- Pressure testing to identify weak points before they fail
- Fixture shut-off valve replacement
Sewer Line Repair & Replacement
Old cast iron drain lines develop scale buildup, rust, and cracks over time — leading to slow drains, recurring blockages, and eventually sewage backup. We diagnose and repair sewer line issues throughout the South Shore:
- Sewer line replacement — old cast iron to modern PVC
- Main drain line repair and replacement
- Basement floor drain repair
- Drain line cleaning and clearing
- Root intrusion repair
Signs You May Need Line Work
Warning signs that your South Shore home may need water or sewer line attention include discolored water, low water pressure throughout the home, slow drains in multiple fixtures, gurgling sounds, sewage odors, wet spots in the yard, or unexplained increases in your water bill.
