Your local Forest Hills Gardens plumber
Forest Hills Gardens is just across Austin Street from our office. The planned community, begun in 1909 with architecture by Grosvenor Atterbury and landscaping by the Olmsted Brothers firm, is full of century-old brick and stucco houses that deserve careful, respectful work.
Homes here often still have original steam or hot-water boilers, cast-iron drain stacks and clay sewer laterals running under mature street trees. We protect finished floors and woodwork, keep openings small, and respect the community's rules for exterior and street work.
Common calls here are steam and hot-water boiler service, sewer lateral repair from root intrusion and water heater replacement in tight basements.
Forest Hills Gardens homes and buildings we work on
Housing in the Gardens is mostly large one-family Tudor Revival, brick and stucco houses from the 1910s–1930s, plus a handful of apartment buildings around Station Square. Many still have original piping behind plaster walls, so we pinpoint problems before opening anything.
Seasonal problems in Forest Hills Gardens
Fall and winter bring boiler start-up problems, uneven radiators and banging steam mains. Spring and summer storms, combined with tree roots in old clay laterals, lead to sewer backups in basements.
