"I would thank them for the work and services. Max was very prompt and polite. We were definitely taken aback with the bill. We were not informed about any of the charges around: 1. Time taken for pulling the permit(1hour@$180) 2. Time for inspector coming in(1hour@$180) 3. Price for permit These 3 costs total to $425. The material cost of $263 definitely seemed marked up. * I wish they had mentioned about expecting these costs so that we could make an informed decision. * We have had several permits pulled in last year ( had frozen pipe burst situation so had renovations going on for multiple months) and never were charged for the time taken to pull permit or for inspectors time at the time of inspection. * Max mentioned it was going to be $180 an hour and you were here for 2 hours from start to end.. The father(Peter) kept mentioning about the emergency charges that there are plumbers that charge $300 an hour, I was clear that we were okay with waiting for a couple of days so there was no question of those charges being applied. He kept giving an explanation of the bill being high enough but it seemed very vague. We were charge $1100 for 2 hours of work to fix a slow gas leak that National grid had identified and pointed to us so they shut of our gas supply. National grid guys had told us that it would be only 1-2 hours of plumbing work. I would not recommend them for sure for the sour taste it has left for us. I wish we went with presidential plumbing or 128 plumbing that we have gone in the past. They are expensive but you know the quote before hand."

At MillTown Plumbing, Heating, AC, Drain Cleaning & Electrical, we know the value of prompt, professional and reliable services and look forward to serving your needs in the Merrimack Valley. We're a same day/next day service company offering quality work and unbeatable service.
"I used to like them. Use them for my big install of backup basement sump pump. This time, I was out of the country, my rental property in MA needs a toilet fix. It was a standard water tank leak and we need to replace the inside mechanism. Milltown came and said 'rebulid the toilet', my wife authorize them to do it as I was not reachable at the time their plumber was at the rental property. They were in and out according to my tenant for at most 45 min, rebuilding two toilet tank and fixed the leak. The bill came to be 1200, $600 a toilet. One line item on the receipt is $470 for the kit they use to replace the plastic mechanism inside the water tank. I casually google the kit, I can get a universal sup kit for the toilet to replace that for $20. I called them, manager came on gave me that talk - we did hundreds of toilet leak and we average all of them to come up with the cost for that line item, which includes (a) parts (b) labor (c) our service guarantee for a prompt and reliable service Say they charge $200 /hr labor, 1 hr for two toilet is $100 labor for 1 toilet (remember, the plumber was there like 30-45 min rebuilding the two toilet). Say total parts are $100 (with markup), we are talking about $200 for fixing the leak of 1 toilet. They charged almost $600 for one toilet. You can do that math. I expect some up charge, but I am not paying $300 just for getting prompt reliable service. I turned around and asked for a few reliable plumber quote from Thumbstack with great reviews, most can do the job for $200 labor and I can get them the universal kit they will be able to come on the same day. So maybe if you want Milltown to do bigger job, that is ok. For smaller job, it does not worth it. Replacing the toilet flush mechanism is really not rocket science in plumbing. If I am not thousands of miles away, I would have done it myself after watching some Youtube video. I am willing to pay up charge for the service, but this is really above and beyond the normal up charge range, $1200 for a 30 min job replacing the toilet flushing mechanism in the water tank!!"

Rainwater recycling systems reliably provide service for 15 to 30 years. If you opt for high‑quality tanks made from fiberglass or concrete, you can extend their operational life even further. On the other hand, rain barrels typically last no more than 15 years because exposure to UV rays and harsh weather conditions degrades their material over time. Knowing this difference can help you choose the right system for your long‑term water collection needs.
Contractors install a cistern system by first selecting the method that matches your site's requirements. For above‑ground installations, they position the cistern beneath your downspout to capture direct runoff. For underground installations, they excavate the area, position and route the cistern for water distribution, and then seamlessly connect it to your home's plumbing. A final inspection confirms that the system delivers water efficiently for both irrigation and household use.
A cistern functions by gathering rainwater from roof runoff via gutters and downspouts or from water seeping naturally into the ground. It stores the collected water in a durable tank that supplies water for irrigation, household plumbing, and other applications. Integrated filtration and distribution systems then ensure that the stored water is delivered safely and efficiently for various uses.
You can store rainwater as long as the water quality is maintained and the storage container remains intact. When used for landscape irrigation, your stored water remains safe as long as you prevent algae growth through regular cleaning. For potable use, proper treatment and durable, non-degradable containers can secure the water indefinitely. This approach ensures that your stored water remains usable until it's replenished by new rainfall.
The amount of rainwater you can collect depends on the size of your collection surface and the rainfall intensity. For every inch of rain on a 1,000‑square‑foot roof, you can collect between 550 and 630 gallons of water. If your roof is this size and you receive half an inch of rain, your system can produce an average of 225 gallons.
Yes, harvesting rainwater is cost‑effective because it provides you with continuous access to water without recurring expenses. While there's an initial investment, you'll offset that cost through long‑term savings on your water bills. With the stored water supporting your landscape irrigation, household water needs, and even domestic uses with proper treatment, this efficient system enhances your home's sustainability and reduces your utility costs.
