Plumbing Services Maynard MA
Richard T. Curley Plumbing & Heating

When a pipe bursts during a January nor’easter or your water heater gives out on a cold Sunday morning, you need a plumber you can count on. For homeowners in Maynard, Massachusetts, that trusted name is Richard T. Curley Plumbing & Heating. We have been providing reliable plumbing and heating services to Maynard and the surrounding Metrowest area since 1980. Our team brings decades of hands-on experience to every job, from minor faucet repairs to full system installations. As a family-owned business, we treat every customer like a neighbor, because you are.

Maynard’s older homes and historic mill buildings come with their own set of plumbing challenges. Frozen pipes, basement flooding caused by the area’s clay-heavy glacial till soil, hard water buildup, and aging sewer lines made of clay or cast iron are common issues we see regularly. Our technicians know these local conditions inside and out. Whether you need emergency service, a scheduled repair, or a full replacement, we are ready to help. Give us a call at (978) 562-3736 or stop by our shop at 480 River Rd in Hudson, MA

Water Heater Services

Hot water is something you expect to be there every time you turn on the tap. When it is not, your daily routine can come to a halt. We handle all types of water heater repairs and installations, including gas, power-vent, and electric models. If your unit is leaking, making strange noises, or not producing enough hot water, our technicians can diagnose the problem quickly. We also help homeowners choose the right size and type of water heater for their household needs, ensuring efficient operation and long service life.

Because Maynard’s water can be hard on appliances, regular maintenance of your water heater can prevent sediment buildup and extend its lifespan. We offer thorough inspections and flushing services to keep your system running smoothly. If replacement is the best option, we provide professional installation with attention to local building codes and safety standards. From tank-style units to newer energy-efficient models, we have the expertise to get your hot water back on track.

Gas Water Heaters

Gas water heaters remain a popular choice for Maynard homeowners because they heat water quickly and cost less to operate than electric models in many cases. I install and repair gas water heaters of all major brands, handling the gas line connections safely and in compliance with local codes. If your gas water heater is leaking, making strange noises, or failing to keep water hot, I can diagnose the problem and recommend the most cost-effective solution. For older units approaching the end of their lifespan, I can help you select a new energy-efficient model that fits your household size and budget.

Power-Vent Water Heaters

Many homes in Maynard have a power-vent water heater, especially those where a standard chimney or vertical venting isn’t available. These units use a fan to push exhaust gases out through a side wall, giving you more flexibility in where the heater can be installed. Power-vent systems require specialized knowledge to troubleshoot and repair. I have extensive experience with power-vent water heater installation and service. If your power-vent blower motor has failed, the venting is blocked, or the control board needs replacement, I can get your hot water flowing again quickly.

Electric Water Heaters

Electric water heaters are often a good option for homes without natural gas service or for installations where a gas line would be impractical. I handle electric water heater repairs, including replacing failed heating elements, thermostats, and upper or lower dip tubes. If your electric water heater is producing rusty water, taking too long to recover, or tripping the circuit breaker, give me a call. I also install new high-efficiency electric models that can reduce your energy bills while providing reliable hot water for your family. Learn more about our water heater services in Maynard.

Kitchen Plumbing Services in Maynard

The kitchen is the heart of your home, and a plumbing problem there can disrupt cooking, cleaning, and family time. Whether it is a leaky faucet, a slow-draining sink, or a garbage disposal that has stopped working, we can handle it. Our kitchen plumbing services include installation and repair of faucets, sinks, and drains. We also connect and repair dishwashers and ice makers, making sure every appliance is properly plumbed. If you are remodeling your kitchen, we can work with you to plan and install new plumbing for your dream layout.

We understand that a kitchen emergency does not always happen during business hours. That is why we offer prompt service, often the same day you call. Our trucks are stocked with common parts and fixtures so we can complete many repairs on the first visit. From fixing a pinhole leak under the sink to replacing an entire drain assembly, the team at Richard T. Curley Plumbing & Heating has the tools and know-how to get your kitchen back to normal without unnecessary delays.

Faucets and Sinks

A leaky kitchen faucet wastes water and can drive up your utility bill. Whether you have a single-handle pull-down model, a traditional two-handle faucet, or a commercial-style pot filler, I can repair or replace it. I also handle sink installations and under-sink plumbing, including replacing corroded supply lines, P-traps, and shutoff valves. If your kitchen sink drains slowly or has developed a foul odor, I can clear the blockage and inspect the drain line for damage.

Garbage Disposals

Garbage disposals take a beating in most households, and they eventually wear out or jam. I can replace a broken disposal with a new unit that matches your sink setup and usage. If your disposal is humming but not grinding, I can check for a stuck flywheel or a failed motor. I also install new disposals for kitchen remodels and can advise you on the right horsepower and features for your Maynard home.

Dishwasher and Appliance Hookups

Installing a new dishwasher, refrigerator with an ice maker, or instant hot water dispenser requires proper plumbing connections. Improper connections can lead to leaks, water damage, and voided warranties. I handle appliance hookups for new kitchen appliances, making sure supply lines are secure, drain hoses are correctly routed, and shutoff valves are properly installed. I can also repair or replace existing appliance supply lines that are old, corroded, or leaking. For more details, visit the kitchen faucet Maynard page.

Bathroom Plumbing Services in Maynard

A bathroom that is not working properly can throw off your whole morning. We provide comprehensive bathroom plumbing services, including toilet repairs and replacements, bathtub and shower installations, sink repairs, and drain cleaning. Common issues like a running toilet, low water pressure in the shower, or a clogged sink drain are ones we see all the time in Maynard homes. We diagnose the root cause quickly and offer honest solutions that fit your budget. Whether it is a simple washer replacement or a complete bathroom renovation, we are here to help.

Old cast-iron waste pipes in historic homes can corrode over time, leading to blockages and leaks. Our team has experience working with all types of piping materials common in Maynard, from copper and PVC to older clay lines. When we work in your bathroom, we take care to protect your floors and fixtures, and we clean up thoroughly after the job is done. We aim to make the experience as hassle-free as possible so you can get back to your daily routine with confidence.

Toilet Repair and Installation

A toilet that runs constantly, flushes weakly, or rocks on the floor needs attention. I repair flush valves, fill valves, flappers, wax rings, and toilet tank components. If your toilet is cracked or you want to upgrade to a water-efficient model, I handle full toilet installations. I also install comfort-height toilets for easier access and can recommend models that meet WaterSense standards to reduce water usage in your Maynard home.

Shower and Tub Plumbing

Shower valve replacements, tub spout repairs, and drain stopper issues are all part of my bathroom plumbing work. I can replace a worn-out shower cartridge that makes it hard to adjust water temperature or that drips when the shower is off. If your bathtub drain is stuck or leaking, I can replace the drain assembly. I also install new showerheads and handheld units if you want an upgrade. For bigger jobs, I can coordinate with a remodel to move or replace shower and tub plumbing rough-ins. Check the bathroom plumbing Maynard page for more information.

Heating Services

Massachusetts winters can be brutal, and having a reliable heating system is a must. We offer heating repair, maintenance, and installation for a variety of systems, including forced-air furnaces, boilers, and heat pumps. If your heating system is not keeping up with the cold, making unusual sounds, or running up your energy bills, our technicians can inspect and service it. Regular maintenance before the heating season can prevent breakdowns and improve efficiency, saving you money and keeping your family comfortable. We also offer emergency heating repairs when the temperatures drop unexpectedly.

Our experience with both gas and oil heating systems means we can handle almost any setup you have. We understand the unique demands of heating an older Maynard home, where drafts and insulation issues are common. We can recommend upgrades like programmable thermostats or system zoning to improve comfort and reduce energy costs. When installation time comes, we ensure your new system is sized correctly and installed to manufacturer specifications for reliable performance season after season.

Boiler Repair and Installation

Boilers are complex systems that need regular care. I work on gas and oil boilers from all major manufacturers — Weil-McLain, Burnham, and others. Common repairs I handle include replacing circulator pumps, pressure relief valves, zone valves, and gas valves. If your boiler isn’t firing, is making banging or whistling noises, or isn’t heating evenly, I can diagnose and fix the issue. When a boiler is beyond repair or simply too old to run efficiently, I install new high-efficiency boilers that can significantly lower your fuel costs. I also help Maynard homeowners apply for MassSave rebates and HEAT loans to make the upgrade more affordable.

Heating System Maintenance

Preventive maintenance is the smartest way to avoid heating emergencies and extend the life of your system. I offer seasonal tune-ups that include cleaning the burner, checking the heat exchanger, inspecting electrical components, testing safety controls, and verifying system pressures. A well-maintained heating system runs more efficiently, uses less fuel, and is far less likely to quit during a cold snap. I recommend scheduling annual maintenance in the fall before the heating season starts. Call (978) 562-3736 to book yours.. Learn more about my heating services in Maynard.
