At MillTown Plumbing, Heating, AC, Drain Cleaning & Electrical, we know the value of prompt, professional and reliable services and look forward to serving your needs in the Merrimack Valley. We're a same day/next day service company offering quality work and unbeatable service.

"Found this company from someone's recommendation, now really bad recommendation! Anyway, had sinks backing up - something plugged some place. I was actually out of town, so wife dealing with this situation. Date was August 15, 2018. 1st guy came out, looked good, but next day same situation. A very GOOD tech came out who fixed it, we thought. No issue with them coming back out - which was good. Then on 11/5 had new town water meter installed. After install, need to run water from upstairs tub/shower. After a few minutes while I was down in the cellar, water starts coming through the celling! Run upstairs and sinks on 1st floor were overflowing. Shutoff tub, call Mill Town. So for 3rd time they came right out (again good) - asked for same good tech, got him. He fixed, best he could but (this time) put blame on some drain pipe in cellar being too small? They did not charge extra, but said this was last free time for this issue. For this service original date was 8/15/18 and 8/16/18 and wife was charged $287.50. Not sure fair or bad price. So now we are going to have both gas range and dishwasher replaced. Call Mill Town to assist, and also asked for insinkerator (garbage disposal) install, as we had recently changed from septic to in-town sewer. Date was scheduled for afternoon of Wed 11/14, as that was the window Home Depot stated for delivery. Monday AM find that HD will delivery around 11/noon and Mill Town could not come earlier, so had to reschedule. 11/23 was Mill Town first open date. This time scheduled them for AM. Of course this time HD schedules the appliance delivery for 11-3, which I only find out about the night before. Mill Town arrived on-time around 9, un-hooked old range and dishwasher, added new connector for gas, and then installed 1/2 HP garbage disposal, Badger 5. Finished this around Noon, and we are still waiting for HD delivery with no real good info from them. Tech took lunch, and then had to leave, which I understand. Said they would come back to finish. Paid them $1602.60 for install of Garbage Disposal, with new unit (electric already there) and un-hook dishwasher and range, Here maybe 4 hours, even at $200 for equipment, that is $300+/hr??? HD was delayed with appliances (trunk broke down) and actually did not arrive until 5:30 PM. In 15 minutes appliances in house and old removed. Call Mill Town around 5 PM (Friday night) to say appliances would be delivered in next 30 minutes, for which they said if they came out then would be after hour rate. Told to call them back tomorrow. Called them on Sat AM, they said they would try and would contact me back. Never heard from them. Called them back Sat afternoon, told me to call them back Monday AM. Said I wanted to talk to Service Manager, was told they would tell him to call me. Called again Monday AM, said they would put me on stand-by. Why I was not there already after Friday evening and multiple calls on Sat, who knows?? They would call me if they had any openings. Now this is for job I already [over?] paid for. Also on Sunday evening wife was using sink, and with new garbage disposal install, sink was leaking. Turns out no plug in the hook-up for dishwasher, which was not yet installed! Told them this on Sat, still on standby. During day on Monday called them multiple times, same story on standby. Was told later in afternoon (too late) that they had called me 4 times, had tech available, but since no answer they sent him elsewhere. My iPhone showed no messages or no incoming calls, nor did my home phone which has Verizon Fios call screening and mailbox, which sends me an email for any left messages. Again request call from Service Manager - said he would call me Tuesday AM. Now Tuesday evening and no call from either Mill Town or Service Manager. I have at this point in time contact another plumber to try and get some one out. Hopefully someone from another company will be here on Thursday. By then almost a week with no range, no dishwasher and a leaking sink. I have placed a hold on check payment to Mill Town. This is the only thing that I am 100% sure I will get a call back from them about. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!! Follow-on - now Tuesday 11/28. I got a friend to help me get a plumber today - Powderly from Billerica (978-663-0164). They came out this AM and finished all to PERFECTION. At least now I have a plumber to call and trust. Cost to me was $275. They said for what I had previously done, probably no more than $200. So total should have been no higher than $600 (on high side), not $1602.60!!! Then perfect timing. No more than 15 minutes after Powderly finishes and leaves, guess who calls? Yes Mill Town, and they think Service Manager had already called and spoken to me, which of course never happened. I am sure the only call I'll receive from Mill Town will be about payment, and maybe this review!"

Drain pipe installations FAQs

The regulations around whether drain pipe installers need to hold licenses or certifications differ based on where you live and the type of drain pipe installed. Municipalities have varying rules and regulations about who can and can’t perform plumbing work. However, we recommend hiring a certified plumber to install or modify your drain lines. Licensed plumbers will perform a high-quality, professional installation, which translates to a lower risk of clogs and leaks in the future. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to confirm the license status of your potential plumber before hiring them to install your drain pipe.

Plumbers will typically take one to two hours to install a new drain pipe, but that timeline can vary based on the area’s accessibility, the drain length, and the type of drain line. Replacing an easily accessible p-trap under a sink could take as little as a half an hour, while replacing a larger section of drain line behind the wall could take as long as three to four hours. When hiring a plumber for your specific installation, ask them to provide an estimated timeline to get a more accurate assessment.

You might need a permit to modify or repair any portion of your plumbing system, including drainage lines, depending on where you live. In some areas, simple replacements of existing drain lines don’t require a permit. We recommend asking your drain pipe installer or your local building department about permitting requirements. In many cases, only certified plumbers can pull plumbing permits, so you’ll usually need to leave the permit application to your professional. The fee for the permit will be passed to you on your project bill, though.

We highly recommend leaving the work of replacing drain pipes to a professional plumber. Drain pipes are a key part of your plumbing system, and making mistakes during the installation or even using the wrong size pipes for your specific fixture can lead to an elevated risk of leaks and clogs. Additionally, drain pipes prevent harmful sewer gas from entering your home, so hiring a professional plumber is essential to keeping the risk of leaks and clogs low and avoid reducing your indoor air quality.

The cost to install a drain pipe is $600 on average, but the total can range between $150 and $2,000. Some cost factors that influence your project price include the type of drain, the area’s accessibility, the proximity of existing drain lines, and whether you’re installing a new drain or replacing an old one. Replacing the p-trap or s-trap under a single fixture will usually cost around $150, while replacing a main drain pipe can cost well over $2,000.
