Highlights
- Found a hidden wall leak — tested the fix before leaving
- Same-day water heater swap — flooded basement fixed by 2pm
Porcaro Plumbing and Heating is a small Melrose plumbing business run by Chris. Google shows 5★ from 9 ratings. The written record is thin — four reviews from 2023 to 2024 across three sources — but each one is specific. In a 2024 review, a customer described a water heater that failed and flooded the basement overnight; Chris removed and replaced it by 2pm the same day he was called. Another 2024 review described Chris installing a full new bathroom. In a 2023 review, a customer described Chris and a partner tracking down and repairing a leak hidden inside a wall behind a kitchen sink, testing the fix before leaving, over a four-hour visit. A separate 2023 review mentioned two prior jobs, both called reasonably priced. A solid option for a Melrose-area plumbing job, though worth asking for references directly given how few reviews are on record.

Our water heater failed in the middle of the night and drenched the basement. Nightmare! Called Chris first thing next morning and he was able to remove and replace the water heater by 2pm! Just fantastic. Highly recommend!

Exceptional work from start to finish! Chris installed a brand new bathroom with precision and attention to detail. The transformation is incredible, and the quality of workmanship is top-notch. Highly recommend for any plumbing or remodeling needs.

Chris has done some work for me on two occasions, done a great job and reasonable.

Chris and his partner showed up as scheduled, quickly diagnosing a leak in our kitchen sink drain pipe. Finding the leak in a wall, they were able to repair it, and run a further test to ensure that there were no more leaks. The work was done promptly, and they kept me informed during their 4 hour service call at my home. I recommend Pocaro Plumbing, and will use them in the future, without reservation.
