Rules and utilities worth knowing
Massachusetts licenses plumbers and gas fitters through the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters, and licenses can be checked online. Before a plumber opens a wall or digs up a yard, ask what they expect to find, what could change the plan, and whether the work will need a permit from the Inspectional Services Department.
Know your Worcester house
Worcester built more than 6,000 triple-deckers between about 1880 and 1930. Many older homes heat with boilers feeding radiators.
The city filters its own water before it reaches homes. Older buildings often carry a patchwork of cast iron, galvanized steel, copper and plastic pipe, joined wherever the last repair happened. Those joints are where slow leaks and stubborn clogs tend to begin.
When temperatures sink well below freezing, keep cabinet doors open on outside walls and know where your shutoff is. A frozen line that bursts can flood a room fast. About 4,000 of the city's triple-deckers are still standing.
A little prep helps
Take a photo of the model label on the water heater, toilet or faucet if you can find one.

Quick answers
What should I tell the plumber on the phone?
Say what you see, where it is, how long it has been going on and whether water is actively leaking. A photo helps them bring the right parts.
Why is my water pressure low?
It can be a clogged aerator, a partly closed valve, a failing pressure regulator or old pipes narrowed by scale. If the whole house is low, check with your neighbors and the water utility first.
Is a small leak under the sink an emergency?
Not always, but it should not wait long. Turn off the valve under the sink, put a bowl down, and book a repair before the cabinet floor soaks through.
