Saba Plumbing & Heating is a Newburyport, MA plumbing business built around one name that shows up in nearly every review: Zach. Across 62 Google reviews, all five stars, the same story repeats — a same-day callback, a clear explanation of the problem, and a fair price before the truck rolls. The jobs described range from routine to genuinely inconvenient. A recent review describes a hot water heater that failed and was replaced within a day; another describes a Sunday leak from a cracked outdoor spigot that Zach fixed the next morning. He's shown up within 30 minutes of a call in one recent account, and another reviewer says he came out on a holiday weekend to fix a plumbing issue and check the rest of the home's setup for other problems. The work covers water heaters and filtration systems, gas lines for stoves, garbage disposal installs, frost-free outdoor faucets, and general kitchen and bathroom plumbing. In a 2025 review, a homeowner described a full four-toilet installation where floors were covered before work began; in a January 2026 review, another described a complex water-line reconnection for a new refrigerator that required a full protective suit and opening a wall. Multiple reviewers single out the pricing as fair and upfront rather than a surprise, and several mention him cleaning the work area, in one case vacuuming, before leaving. The company's Massachusetts plumbing license is active on the state registry, and the reviews on file span mid-2025 through September 2026, all five stars. For plumbing work in the Newburyport and Merrimack Valley area, from an emergency leak to a full fixture replacement, the reviews describe a plumber who responds quickly, explains the job before starting, and cleans up when it's done.
Zach and Saba are outstanding! We used them recently when our hot water heater failed and Zach was able to get us back up and running in one day's time. The service was exceptional and everything was explained to us so we knew what our options were ahead of any work being done. I highly recommend Saba for any plumbing and heating needs!
Could not recommend Zach more! Called him in to replace a broken outdoor faucet with a frost-free faucet at my beach house in Salisbury, MA. Of course it wasn't as straight forward as it seemed and he was able to problem solve and still provide a watertight and aesthetically pleasing outdoor faucet despite the hurdles of working on a brick house that's been exposed to salt air for 50 years. He even took a look - per my request - at some of our old shutoff ball valves and main shutoff and gave me his honest opinion on if they needed replacement (and they did not!) which was a kind and comprehensive service. A small business owner, Zach is professional, experienced and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend him and his services! I hope we don't need to call him again, but if we do, I would feel confident having him service our plumbing needs in the future.
Zach is great to work with!
The day our hot water heater leaked all over the floor was the same day Zach came and replaced it. He has this great one-page comparison chart to summarize the different kinds of hot water systems so you can quickly make an informed decision -- because usually these things happen without warning. He even did a followup the next day, which was a Sunday. Zach is extremely knowledgable and very responsive. Supporting independent business people is a plus for all of us.
Zack did great work on the propane for our stove. He arrived at the scheduled time, evaluated what needed to be done, gave is a reasonable quote and completed the job. I'm doing so he cleaned up not only his workspace but vaccumed around the area leaving everything cleaner than it was before. Highly recommended.
