TESTIMONIALS

Why Homeowners in Salem, NH Trust Us

Our tankless water heater stopped working right before Christmas leaving us with not only no hot water, but not even water to do laundry or run the dish washer.

So finding a good plumber, you can rely on, is different than finding a good plumber. When my family needed a plumber recently, LHR handled our call.

LHR got my service scheduled immediately for 2 days out from the day I called. Cody, the technician, showed up on time and was professional.

This is a completely professional organization start-to-finish. From my first phone call through the service to the follow-up, the LHR team treated me with kindness.

Cold call (literally!) from Hot Water Heater Manufacturer website. No prior relationship with them. No problem. Came same day. Tech friendly and knowledgeable.

Plumber in Salem, NH

Salem changed fast once I-93 came through, and most of its homes were built in that boom. Neighborhoods around Salem Depot and off Main Street are filled with 1950s and 60s ranches and capes, many with original cast iron drains, clay sewer lines, and copper supply pipes now well past their prime. Around Canobie Lake and Arlington Pond, older cottages have been turned into full-time homes. Up in North Salem, historic farmhouses sit alongside newer homes on larger lots with private wells.

LHR Plumbing and Heating works on every type of home in Salem. Our residential plumbing services help homeowners keep their plumbing in good shape.

Plumbing Repair & Troubleshooting

With so many homes built in the same era, Salem plumbing tends to wear out on a similar schedule, and cold, snowy winters add to the strain. These are the issues we see the most.

Frozen lines happen in mid-century homes with plumbing on outside walls and in converted lake cottages.
Hidden leaks from aging copper can show up as ceiling stains or warped floors.
Slow or backed-up drains often come from roots growing into old clay or cast iron sewer lines.
Failing water heaters in older homes start leaking or can’t keep up with demand.
Aging pipes from the 1950s and 60s corrode and cut down water pressure.

We fix the source of the problem, not just the symptom, and test the work before we leave.

Water Heater Installations & Upgrades

A 1950s ranch was built for a very different household than the one living there today. If your water heater can’t keep up, we can install a new tank sized for your family or upgrade you to a tankless water heater that delivers hot water on demand. Financing is available to make the upgrade easier.

Planning something bigger? If you are adding a bathroom, remodeling a kitchen, or finishing a basement, we can plan the plumbing and hot water for the whole house. All work is done to current code.

A Recent Plumbing Job in Salem, NH

Brian lives in a 1960s ranch near Salem Depot, and his basement floor drain backed up twice in one month. Our plumber ran a camera through the main line and found tree roots growing into an old clay joint. We cleared the roots with hydro jetting and showed Brian the before and after footage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I be worried about the sewer line in my 1950s Salem home?

If you have frequent backups or slow drains, it’s worth checking. Many mid-century homes still have clay or cast iron sewer lines that crack or let roots in. A camera inspection shows the condition before you decide on repairs.

What signs mean a plumbing problem is getting worse?

Watch for repeat clogs, gurgling drains, water coming up through floor drains, or stains on ceilings. These usually point to a deeper issue that needs a closer look.

Do I need a permit for plumbing work in Salem?

Larger jobs like water heater replacements, new fixtures, or moving pipes usually need a permit from the Town of Salem. Basic repairs typically don’t. We will let you know up front what applies.

How do I keep pipes from freezing in my Salem home?

Keep the heat at 55 degrees or higher, open cabinet doors on outside walls during cold snaps, and drain outdoor spigots before winter. If a pipe still freezes, our frozen lines service thaws it safely and checks for damage.

Do you offer emergency plumbing in Salem?

Yes. We serve Salem homeowners and respond to burst pipes, leaks, and backups. Give us a call to get a plumber headed your way.
