York Plumbing & Drains

Greg York has run York Plumbing and Drains out of Nahant since 2007 — a sole proprietorship with one employee, which is to say him. Nineteen years in, BBB grades the business A+ with no complaints on file, though it isn't BBB accredited. What he does is the middle-of-the-night category. BBB records the specialty as emergency work: clogged drains and rooter service, video pipe inspection to find what is actually down there, water heater replacement. Ordinary plumbing and fixture installation and repair alongside it. The permitted work supports that, though it runs older. BuildZoom lists five permits between 2013 and 2019 — a second-floor bathroom remodel in West Newton, a basement kitchen sink and lav in Newtonville, tub, lav and toilet piping in Newton Center, gas cook stoves in Beverly and Everett. Two things to sort out before calling. BuildZoom still lists him at 16 Pearl Ave in Winthrop, on a profile it last touched in July 2024, while BBB has him at 18 Emerald Rd in Nahant; the phone number is identical on both, so confirm where he works from now. And the Massachusetts journeyman plumber licence BuildZoom shows, #32558, is BuildZoom's own record rather than a registry check — ask for the current number. Nobody has written a review anywhere, so the A+ and the permit trail are all there is to weigh. For a Nahant homeowner who wants a local plumber for a blocked drain or a dead water heater, that is a reasonable place to start — ask for a couple of recent references.
