Two very different housing types
The older Nashville properties are farmhouses and rural homes with private wells, septic systems and plumbing that has been added to over generations. The new subdivisions bring large detached homes on municipal water and sewer, with modern mechanical rooms. A call here can be either kind.
Rural properties
- Well pumps and pressure tanks that cycle too often, causing low or pulsing pressure.
- Hard and iron-rich water staining fixtures and clogging aerators.
- Septic connections that back up when the tank is full or the field is struggling.
- Old supply lines in farmhouses, sometimes galvanized.
We handle the plumbing within the house and point you to a well or septic contractor for the systems outside.

New subdivisions
New homes here share the typical new-build issues: debris in drains, toilets set on low flanges, and exterior taps not draining properly. Builders here have used both tankless and high-efficiency tank heaters; both need yearly attention in hard water. See flushing a water heater.
Water quality on wells
Private well owners are responsible for testing their own water. Public Health in York Region has made free bacteriological testing available to private well owners; check the current program details. For hardness and iron, a softener or iron filter is common. For taste and odour, a carbon filter. Our filtration page explains options.

Why is my well water staining fixtures?
Iron and manganese are common causes. Testing tells you which.
