Get a Quote →My name is Mike Callahan. I grew up in Hingham, got my plumbing license at 22, and started Anchor Plumbing & Drain out of the back of a pickup truck in 2003. Twenty-one years later, we've got a fleet of seven trucks and a team I'm proud of every single day.
We're not a franchise. We're not a call center. When you call Anchor, you get someone who knows the South Shore — the salt air, the old houses, the cast-iron pipes under the Victorian in Scituate, the new builds going up in Duxbury. We've seen it all.
Our promise is simple: show up on time, fix it right, and treat your home like it's ours. That's how we've earned 340 five-star reviews — one job at a time.
We're out on jobs all day. We used to miss calls — and miss customers. Not anymore. Our AI voice receptionist answers instantly, 24/7, and handles the whole conversation so no lead ever slips through.
Answers at 2am on a Sunday. Handles emergencies, books appointments, answers FAQs — all without waking anyone up.
Callers get scheduled on the spot. No callbacks required. No "leave a message and we'll get back to you."
For burst pipes or flooding, it flags it as urgent and routes it to our on-call tech immediately.
Natural conversation, not a phone tree. Customers don't know it's AI — they just know someone answered.

📞 Call & Hear It YourselfDon't take our word for it. Here's what real customers have to say.
"Called at 6am on a Saturday — burst pipe, water everywhere. Mike's team was at our door in 45 minutes. Had it fixed by 9am. Absolute lifesavers. Will never call anyone else."
"I called after hours and their AI receptionist picked up immediately, booked me for next morning. Honest, I didn't even realize it wasn't a person at first. Great experience start to finish."
"Fair price, clean work, showed up exactly when they said they would. My water heater died on a Wednesday and they had the new tankless one installed by Thursday afternoon. Outstanding."
"We've used Anchor for three years — big jobs, small jobs, emergency calls. Every single time, professional and clean. They're the only plumbers I recommend to anyone on the South Shore."
"Quick, professional, and honest. They could've upsold me on a full drain replacement. Instead they fixed the actual problem and saved me $800. That kind of integrity is rare. Thank you Anchor!"
"I was nervous about the cost of a full bathroom remodel. They gave me a detailed quote upfront, stuck to it, and the work is gorgeous. Couldn't be happier. Five stars all the way."
