Jay Elston Plumbing & Heating LLC

Jay Elston is the fourth generation of his family to hold a master plumber's licence. The 2021 obituary for his father, George "Buddy" L. Elston Jr. — himself a third-generation master plumber who had run the family plumbing business for more than sixty years — says his son Jay would carry it on. Jay Elston Plumbing & Heating LLC works out of Old Tyng Road in Tyngsborough, and its Massachusetts plumbing licence is active and held in the company's own name rather than an individual's. Beyond that the public record is genuinely thin. Neighbours name him: a commenter in a February 2025 r/LowellMA thread about replacing a steam boiler put him forward, and back in 2014 someone answering a request for a Tyngsboro-area plumber simply passed along his contact details. His Google listing carries a single five-star rating and no written review at all. That is a real business with a long trade lineage and a current licence, and almost no written customer record to read. Treat the absence of reviews as what it is — a small, word-of-mouth operation that has not collected them — and do your own diligence: ask for recent local references, confirm the licence number with the state, and get the scope and price in writing.
