Plumbing Services in Southborough, MA Richard T. Curley Plumbing & Heating
Southborough — or Southboro as the locals often say — is a town with a mix of historic homes near the center and newer developments near Route 9. Every home has its own plumbing personality, and when something goes wrong, you want a plumber who knows the area and shows up when they say they will.
Richard T. Curley Plumbing & Heating has served the Metrowest area since 1980, offering reliable solutions for water heaters, kitchen plumbing, bathroom plumbing, and heating. As a family-owned business, I bring decades of experience to every job, big or small.
Water Heater Services in Southborough
Your water heater works hard year-round. Over time, sediment builds up, heating elements fail, or the tank itself begins to leak. Whether you need a new installation or a fast repair, having an experienced plumber handle the job ensures safe and efficient operation. I provide comprehensive water heater services for Southborough homes, including gas, power-vent, and electric models.
Water Heater Installation
Upgrading to a new water heater can improve energy efficiency and provide a steady supply of hot water. I install gas, power-vent, and electric units, and I take time to assess your home’s needs before recommending the right size and type. Proper installation extends the life of the unit and helps you avoid costly breakdowns later. I also assist Southborough homeowners with MassSave rebates and HEAT loans to make the upgrade more affordable.

Water Heater Repair and Maintenance
If your water heater is making strange noises, producing rusty water, or not heating as it should, prompt repair can prevent further damage. Common issues include a faulty thermostat, a worn-out heating element, or a leaking pressure relief valve. Regular maintenance, such as flushing the tank and checking the anode rod, keeps your system running efficiently. I diagnose the problem quickly and get your hot water flowing again — usually the same day.
Kitchen Plumbing Services
The kitchen is the busiest room in most Southborough homes, and its plumbing takes a beating. From a dripping faucet to a jammed garbage disposal, I handle all kitchen plumbing repairs and installations, keeping your kitchen running smoothly.
Faucet Repair and Installation
A leaky faucet wastes water and drives up your utility bill. I repair all major brands and styles, including single-handle, pull-down, and touchless models. If you want a fresh look, I can install a new faucet that matches your kitchen. I carry a selection of quality fixtures in my Shop on Wheels, which means I can often complete the installation in a single visit.
Garbage Disposal and Drain Services
Slow kitchen drains are a common frustration. Grease buildup, food scraps, and soap scum accumulate over time, leading to stubborn clogs. I use professional drain cleaning equipment to clear blockages without damaging your pipes. If your garbage disposal is jammed, leaking, or needs replacement, I can handle that too. “kitchen plumbing repairs and installations”
Bathroom Plumbing Services
Bathroom plumbing issues can disrupt your daily routine. Whether it is a running toilet, a clogged shower drain, or a leaking tub faucet, I handle all types of bathroom plumbing repairs for Southborough homeowners. I also offer full bathroom fixture installations for those looking to update their space.
Toilet Repair and Replacement
A running toilet can waste hundreds of gallons of water per day. I diagnose the cause — usually a worn flapper, fill valve, or flush mechanism — and make the repair on the spot. If your toilet is old or cracked, I can install a new, water-efficient model that saves money and water. I also handle toilet wax ring replacements and flange repairs.
Shower, Tub, and Sink Services
From low water pressure in the shower to a clogged sink drain, I have seen it all in Southborough bathrooms. I repair or replace shower valves, tub spouts, and sink faucets. I can also install new showerheads, handheld units, and diverters. If you are remodeling, I am happy to help with the plumbing portion of your project. “bathroom plumbing repairs”
Heating and Boiler Services
Winter in Southborough can be harsh, and a reliable heating system is essential. I specialize in boiler repair, maintenance, and installation. Whether you have a steam boiler, hot water boiler, or a high-efficiency condensing model, I have the expertise to keep your home warm and your energy bills under control.
Boiler Repair and Maintenance
Annual boiler maintenance is the best way to prevent unexpected breakdowns. I perform thorough inspections, including checking the burner, heat exchanger, circulator pump, and safety controls. If your boiler is not heating properly, making strange noises, or cycling on and off frequently, I can diagnose and repair the problem quickly. I carry many common boiler parts in my Shop on Wheels, which reduces wait times.
New Boiler Installation
If your boiler is more than 15 years old or requires frequent repairs, a replacement may be the most cost-effective solution. I help Southborough homeowners select the right boiler for their home, whether it is a gas-fired, oil-fired, or high-efficiency condensing model. I handle all aspects of the installation, including venting, piping, and system balancing. I also assist with applying for MassSave rebates and HEAT loans.
