A 102-project permit history gives B. Brazil Plumbing & Heating a substantial footprint for a three-person Lowell plumbing business. BBB identifies it as a sole proprietorship owned by Brian Brazil, started in 2010, serving both residential and commercial customers; the work described across its listings includes plumbing repair, heating, radiant heat, water heaters, gas fitting, drainage, and boilers. The written customer history is small and dated. In a 2023 Google review, a homeowner described a delayed toilet appointment with no call and said an old toilet remained in the yard for three weeks after payment. An April 2011 Angi review described a sump-pump and French-drain installation as smooth, with Brian professional and easy to work with. BuildZoom's permits include plumbing and gas work in Lowell and projects in Marblehead, Danvers, and Beverly, including a 2022 Marblehead basement-bathroom rough-in. Before booking, ask how appointment changes and removal of replaced fixtures are handled. The Massachusetts plumber license 32125-PL-J is registry-verified active under Brian Brazil's name; that receipt supports the plumbing credential and does not establish an HVAC license. BBB gives the business an A+ grade but says it is not accredited. This is a reasonable call for plumbing, drainage, gas-fitting, boiler, and water-heater work when the project fit is clear. Confirm the schedule, cleanup responsibilities, and the exact scope of any heating work before agreeing to the job.
The owner of Brazil plumbing replaced one of my toilets with a new toilet from Home Depot. We agreed on a date which eventually got put off for a week. The company did not bother to call me to let me know they were not going to be able to make the appointment. The owner agreed to remove the old toilet from my property. The old toilet is still sitting in my backyard three weeks later. Even though the company was paid in full as soon as the new toilet was installed, they are refusing to remove the old toilet which still sits in my backyard.
Need to wait for ground to thaw before trenching and making a french drain for water to discharge in the back yard. Expect everything to go smoothly. Brian was professional, easy to work with, provided estimates for different scenarios, and installed the sump pump in one day.
