3 situations account for many urgent calls in Nashua. Each has a first step to take while you wait.
- Frozen or burst pipe: close the main in the basement and open a faucet. See frozen pipes.
- Water coming through the ceiling from the unit above: close the main and tell the landlord or neighbor.

Nashua Winter Checklist
- Disconnect hoses and drain outside faucets before the first freeze.

- Keep the basement heated; that's where the main and water heater usually are.
- If a pipe freezes, open its faucet and close the main shutoff before it thaws. See frozen pipes.
Plumbing in a Nashua Multi-Family
- The basement main usually serves every unit.
- A clog in a shared stack backs up into the lowest unit first.
- A leak in an upper unit can show up 2 floors down.
- Tenants should tell the landlord right away; the landlord arranges repairs.
Old Pipe

What Affects Plumbing Costs in Nashua
No plumber can quote a firm price before seeing the problem. These are the things that move the cost of plumbing work in Nashua.
- Old pipe. Repairs on galvanized and cast iron tend to extend.
- Freeze damage. Several fittings can crack in one cold snap.
- Finding the problem. Leak locating and camera inspections are separate steps, but they keep the repair itself small.
- Time of day. Many companies charge an after-hours, weekend or holiday fee.
- Ask for the arrival fee before the plumber heads out, and for the repair price in writing before work starts.
