Borels Plumber Inc

Borels Plumber Inc is a small plumbing outfit at 145 Elliott St in Haverhill, Massachusetts, run by plumber Rafael Borel, who works alongside his brother and a small crew. The business claims eight years of experience, speaks Spanish as well as English, and carries a self-reported Massachusetts trade licence, 9629535, expiring in May 2028 — worth confirming with the state, since that number comes from the directory listing rather than a registry check. Angi rates it 5.0 from 10 ratings, all five stars. Speed is the single most repeated theme. A March 2026 customer said Borel called within five minutes of the enquiry and was on site half an hour later, replacing two vanity sinks and drains in a couple of hours at a reasonable price. In November 2025, a homeowner whose water heater had failed and was leaking across the cellar had it replaced inside a couple of hours. Another November 2025 customer, newly moved into a house with an old, undersized toilet, had Rafael and his brother come at short notice and swap it out. The work described is bread-and-butter residential plumbing: water heaters including tankless and commercial units, toilets, faucets and cartridges, sink and vanity drains, and leaking pipes. In one November 2025 job the crew fixed a cracked shower handle, replaced a faucet cartridge and repaired a leaking pipe under a bathroom sink on the same visit. Another that month replaced and installed two toilets, with the reviewer noting the crew arrived on time and left the work area clean. What you cannot judge from this is depth. Every account on file sits on one platform, ten in total, and they only start in November 2025 — so there is no long track record to weigh, and no independent second source to corroborate the picture. Ask for references from earlier jobs and confirm the licence before booking anything larger than a fixture swap. A sensible call for fast fixture, toilet and water-heater work in the Haverhill area, particularly if you need someone the same day, and a genuinely bilingual option for Spanish-speaking homeowners.
