About Plumbing in Boston
Boston's moderately soft water from the Quabbin and Wachusett reservoirs still contains minerals that gradually corrode older brass fixtures and copper pipes. Historic triple-deckers in South Boston, Dorchester, and Jamaica Plain often contain original galvanized steel plumbing that requires replacement after 80-100 years.
Watch for warning signs including low water pressure, rust-colored water, banging pipes, and slow drains. These indicate aging infrastructure that needs professional attention before catastrophic failures occur during winter freeze cycles.
