What each nearby town tends to call about

Hopedale grew around the Draper textile company, which built about 250 worker-housing buildings, many of them duplexes. Housing that old is where supply pipes and drains have had the most years to wear, so those are the calls to expect.

Bellingham is the biggest of the four and stretches along Routes 126 and 140, so calls range from suburban kitchens to commercial buildings near Interstate 495. Mendon has no town sewer and relies largely on private wells, so pressure tanks and septic-connected house drains come up often.

Holliston sits northeast of Milford along Route 16. Its water comes from town wells and the Holliston DPW publishes a water quality report, which is worth reading if you notice staining or a change in taste.

ZIP codes by town

Milford is 01757, Hopedale is 01747, Bellingham is 02019, Mendon is 01756 and Holliston is 01746. According to the state's licensing rules, any plumbing job is done by a licensed plumber. Each town page also names the neighboring ZIP codes that fall inside the same dispatch area, such as Franklin 02038, Medway 02053 and Wrentham 02093 near Bellingham, or Upton 01568, Uxbridge 01569 and Blackstone 01504 near Mendon.

ZIP codes do not follow town lines exactly, so the street address is what decides. If you are unsure, give dispatch your address and they will tell you straight away whether the crew covers it.

Emergency calls versus scheduled visits

A burst pipe, sewage backing up or a water heater tank leaking onto the floor is dispatched as an emergency, day or night, in every town listed here. The same line answers on weekends and holidays.

Planned work, such as a new water heater, a bathroom rough-in or a repipe, is booked as a same-day or next-available appointment depending on the schedule. You can ask for a clear price before work starts on either kind of visit.

Call (508) 389-4045 and say which town you are in. If the problem can wait for daylight, say so, and dispatch will offer the first appointment that fits.

Local utilities worth knowing

Milford Water Company supplies Milford and sells water wholesale to sections of Hopedale, Mendon and Medway, while Hopedale, Bellingham and Holliston also run town water departments. If you are not sure who supplies your tap, check your water bill before calling the wrong office.

Milford homes on town sewer drain to the Milford wastewater plant on the Charles River. Mendon has no town sewer, so homes there use septic systems, which changes what a drain call involves. For permit questions on any job, ask your town's plumbing inspector, who enforces the Massachusetts plumbing code (248 CMR).

How we decide who we cover

A plumber arriving quickly at night depends on a short drive. So we list the nearest towns, and a call to dispatch confirms any address that falls near a town line.

If your home is in a neighboring ZIP not listed here, such as Franklin 02038, Medway 02053 or Upton 01568, call (508) 389-4045 and ask. The answer takes a minute, and there is no charge for asking.

What to do before the plumber arrives

Wherever you live, the first move in a leak is the same. Close the main water valve, switch off power to anything near standing water if you can do it safely, and keep drains in use to a minimum if a line is backing up.

If you smell gas, leave the house and call your gas utility or 911 from outside. Then call us for the plumbing work that follows. Reach dispatch at any hour on (508) 389-4045, or read about drain cleaning and burst pipe repair to see what a visit involves.
