At ten o'clock on the night of 23 January 2026, with dangerous cold outside and eighteen to twenty-four inches of snow forecast, a first-time customer called Joe LaFauci. A week later another had nearly two feet of snow sitting over the backyard access the crew needed; they shovelled it out and got on with the job. Emergencies in bad weather are what Precision Plumbing gets remembered for. Precision Plumbing Solutions is Joe LaFauci's Lynnfield company — second generation, family-owned, and by its own description a two-person team where the owner does the work himself. Its stated territory covers Lynnfield, Peabody, Salem, Beverly, Lynn, Danvers, Saugus, Marblehead, Reading, Wakefield and the towns around them, residential and commercial, with 24/7 emergency service. Its Massachusetts plumbing licence, 9628442-PL-PC, is active on the state registry. Same-day is close to the norm here. Water heaters were replaced the day they failed in May 2026, in October 2025 and again in July 2025. A three-year-old heater was diagnosed and fixed inside three hours in October 2025. One April 2026 customer had a response inside two hours and the repair done ninety minutes after that. In February 2026 a homeowner who was not even a customer — her usual company had not picked up — got fitted in on a Friday afternoon after finding a leak in her basement. What people write about as much as the speed is the restraint. In April 2026 Joe looked at a tub and shower leak, told the homeowners he could sell them a full repair, and recommended they hold off because it was not serious. On the Saturday night before Easter that year he tried the least expensive fix first. A May 2026 customer whose burst pipe turned out to be a burst pipe plus a second leak plus a failing hose bib said the pricing stayed open the whole way through. Another May 2026 job came in at the very bottom of the quoted range. The work goes well past service calls. A compromised exterior drain pipe in May 2026 took a trench about five feet deep. A whole-house water filter was swapped from one stage to three in June 2026, and a pool sand filter and heat pump went in that same month. In October 2025 Joe and his team plumbed a dog grooming business in Tewksbury, working off hours to hit the opening date. In a December 2023 review, a homeowner had a sewer extractor pit and pump put right after a previous plumber had failed at it twice. The one review below five stars, from July 2025, credits both the kitchen and bathroom sink installations and a return visit days later to clean excess putty from around the kitchen sink — then raises something that surfaced several months afterwards. Precision is a strong call for an emergency, a water heater, or the plumbing on a small commercial build-out, especially if you would rather have the owner on the job than a dispatched tech. It is a two-person operation by its own account, so on anything large, settle the schedule before you commit.
Your Grand Designs hired Precision Plumbing Solutions for plumbing work for 2 clients, 2 towns. They responded quickly, solved a difficult problem at the multi-family location and I recommend them 100%.
Joe was great. He was very friendly and professional. He did a small job for me and came the same day that I called him. And the price was excellent.
We were having some issues with discoloration in our water and had Joe come out to replace our defunct 1-stage whole house water filter with a new 3-stage filter. He was available the same day I called him to work up a quote, and provided us with a straightforward and well-informed assessment of our plumbing. I felt like the price he quoted was very fair, he was back the very next day (right on time), and the work was done very quickly (maybe 1.5 hours, all told). It was a great experience, and I definitely expect to be calling Joe again for any future plumbing needs.
Wonderful service and very efficient! Would definitely recommend, Joseph was great
Highly recommend Joe and Marty for all of your plumbing work. They installed a new sand filter and pool heat pump today - looks great and is running perfectly.
