Plumbing in Scituate
Smaller communities mean longer travel, particularly in weather, so what you should expect is an honest window rather than an optimistic time. It also means the work is done to last: a second visit costs everyone considerably more here than it does in a dense suburb, so the first one is thorough.
Seasonal occupancy shapes the calendar. Properties that sit empty for months develop the faults of disuse: dry traps, seized valves, stagnant water in unused branches, and heating that has not run since March being asked to work in October. Opening a house properly in spring and closing it properly in autumn prevents most of what gets called in as an emergency.
Winter, and what it does here
The storm pattern that brings water is the one that cuts power, so a sump pump without battery backup protects a basement only on the nights it does not need protecting. If the basement floor stays dry because something is running, ask what happens when it stops.
Two things decide how much a plumbing failure costs, and neither is the repair itself: how quickly the water stops, and how quickly someone competent is on the way. Shut the main, kill the heating supply if it is involved, move what matters, and call. Our page on emergency plumbing sets out what to do while you wait.
Lines open now, including tonight and every holiday.

Scituate plumbing questions
You can, but it materially increases the solids load, which means pumping more often and a drain field working harder than it was sized for.
If you keep it, shorten the pumping interval rather than assuming the system will absorb the difference.
Stop using water in the building immediately, every gallon adds to what is coming back. Keep people and pets away, and call.
Do not put chemicals down the drain. The first task is establishing whether it is a blocked line, a full tank or a failed field.
For anything with a service life, the question is the age of the unit against the cost of the repair, and a component failure on an old appliance is usually a warning rather than an isolated event.
You should be given both figures and the reasoning, rather than a recommendation with no numbers behind it.
