Last 6 months: 0 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read A 2021 customer said their only toilet was flooding into the downstairs kitchen; Skip came over on a Monday morning, explained what was going on and had the toilet running by lunch. Descavich Plumbing & Heating is a plumbing business, and its Massachusetts plumber license, 3121-PL-C, is active on the state registry, held by Descavich Plumbing & Heating Inc. A 2024 customer said that after buying a home with a litany of issues, Skip helped them figure out exactly what their plumbing needs were and how much it would cost to fix them, and that everything he worked on held up. A 2023 customer said that after a gas stove line started leaking and the gas company capped it, Skip responded and arrived within a two-hour window of the first call. A 2019 customer said Skip upgraded antique Victorian pipes after a sewer backup and fixed the problem for much less than the customer feared. A 2012 customer said Skip came over the same day to look at a 1965 gas steam furnace, said it was well maintained, and did not charge for the consultation. On Google, the business shows 4.5 stars from 18 ratings. **Strengths:** - Quick response — a 2023 customer said Skip arrived within two hours - A same-morning fix — a 2021 customer said the toilet ran by lunch - Active plumber license — active on the state registry ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Massachusetts plumber license 3121-PL-C is active on the state registry, held by Descavich Plumbing & Heating Inc _(confidence: high)_ - [State License Registry](https://occupationallicensingandpermitting.mass.gov/madol/s/license-search-page) — “MA plumber license 3121-PL-C registry-verified active — registry holder of record: Descavich Plumbing & Heating Inc” - A 2021 customer said Skip came over on a Monday morning and had a flooding toilet running by lunch _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://maps.google.com/?cid=6597614506799074325&g_mp=CiVnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLkdldFBsYWNlEAIYBCAA) — “5★ I can not say enough about Skip's work ethic and quality.
