When your plumbing works like it should, your day flows smoothly. No more standing water in the kitchen sink during dinner prep. No more cold showers because your water heater quit without warning. No more calling around hoping someone actually picks up when pipes burst at midnight.
You get hot water that stays hot, drains that clear completely, and fixtures that don’t leak all over your bathroom floor. Most importantly, you have a local plumber in Brockton who knows Plymouth County homes inside and out and shows up when we say we will.
The relief comes from knowing you’re not dealing with temporary patches that fail next week. You’re getting proper repairs using quality parts, done by licensed technicians who’ve seen these problems before and know how to fix them right the first time.
Dempsey Energy started as a family-owned oil company in 1992 and expanded to full plumbing services in 2001 when Plymouth County homeowners asked for more. We delivered, and we’ve been building relationships with local families ever since.
Our licensed, NATE-certified technicians understand how Massachusetts weather affects your plumbing. From frozen pipes during brutal winters to sump pump failures during heavy spring rains, we’ve seen what Brockton homes face and we come prepared.

We handle the full range of residential plumbing issues common to Massachusetts homes. Emergency repairs like burst pipes and sewer backups get priority response. Water heater installation and repair for both traditional tank systems and modern tankless units. Drain cleaning, fixture replacement, and sump pump service.
Many Plymouth County homes deal with hard water that accelerates wear on plumbing components. We know which parts typically fail first and stock quality replacements that last in local water conditions. Whether your system needs a simple repair or you’re facing a decision about replacement, we give you straight facts.
Our Dempsey Comfort Club provides regular maintenance that catches small problems before they become expensive emergencies. Members get priority scheduling, regular maintenance visits, and exclusive benefits. It’s designed for homeowners who want to stay ahead of maintenance rather than just react to problems.
Emergency response times depend on the situation and time of day, but we prioritize urgent calls like burst pipes, sewage backups, and no hot water situations. We’ll give you an honest timeframe when you call and keep you updated if anything changes.
For true emergencies, we often arrive the same day. Our trucks are fully stocked with common parts, so most repairs are completed during the first visit. We understand that plumbing emergencies don’t wait for convenient times, especially during Massachusetts winters when frozen pipes can cause serious damage.
For burst pipes, immediately shut off your main water supply – usually located near where the water line enters your house or at the street. This stops additional water damage while you wait for our plumber to arrive.
If you can’t locate your main shutoff valve, look for individual shutoff valves near the affected area. Clear the area of furniture and belongings if possible. Call us right away at the first sign of a burst pipe, as water damage spreads quickly and becomes more expensive to repair the longer it sits.
We’ll walk you through specific steps when you call, based on your particular situation. Our emergency plumbers in Brockton arrive prepared to handle burst pipe repairs and help minimize damage to your home.
Yes, all our plumbers are properly licensed in Massachusetts and we carry full liability insurance and workers compensation coverage. This protects both you and our technicians during any work performed in your home.
We’re happy to provide proof of licensing and insurance before starting any job – it’s standard practice for legitimate plumbing contractors and you should always ask for this documentation. Our technicians are also NATE-certified, which means they’ve met national standards for technical competence.
You can verify our licensing through the Massachusetts Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters. Working with licensed, insured professionals gives you recourse if something goes wrong and ensures the work meets local building codes.
Absolutely. After diagnosing the problem, we explain exactly what needs to be done and provide clear pricing before any work begins. No surprise charges or hidden fees after the job is complete.
If we discover additional issues while working, we stop and discuss options with you before proceeding. You’ll always know what you’re paying for and why. We use flat-rate pricing for most common repairs, which means you know the cost upfront regardless of how long the job takes.
Our goal is complete transparency. Many homeowners have been burned by contractors who start work and then present unexpected charges. We believe you deserve to make informed decisions about your plumbing repairs based on accurate information.
Many Brockton homes were built decades ago, which makes plumbing systems prone to specific issues. Lead service lines and lead solder in older plumbing fixtures can cause contamination concerns. We often see problems with galvanized pipes that have corroded over time, causing low water pressure and rusty water.
Older homes frequently have undersized plumbing that can’t handle modern water usage. Cast iron sewer lines common in older properties are prone to root intrusion and corrosion. Water heaters in older homes often lack proper venting or have been installed in ways that don’t meet current codes.
We understand these challenges because we’ve worked on Plymouth County homes for over two decades. Our experience with local housing stock means we can quickly identify age-related issues and recommend solutions that make sense for your specific situation and budget.
Yes, we offer the Dempsey Comfort Club membership program that provides ongoing maintenance and priority service for both plumbing and HVAC systems. Members receive regular maintenance visits, priority scheduling, and exclusive benefits including 10% off parts and labor.
This helps prevent many common plumbing problems before they become expensive emergencies. We’ll inspect your water heater, check for leaks, test water pressure, and identify potential issues during routine visits. It’s designed for homeowners who want to stay ahead of maintenance rather than just react to problems.
Maintenance plan members also get priority response for emergency calls, which means faster service when you need us most. The program pays for itself by catching small problems early and extending the life of your plumbing systems through proper care.
