Wells and septic in North Stamford
Well pumps, pressure tanks and septic systems are common north of the Merritt Parkway, and they need a plumber experienced with private systems.
Shoreline storms
Shippan and the Cove sit low along Long Island Sound. Storm surge and heavy rain can flood basements and back up drains.
Older galvanized supply
Homes from the early 1900s in Glenbrook and Springdale may still have galvanized supply lines causing low pressure.
Older homes and additions
Many Glenbrook and Springdale homes have been expanded more than once, so new PEX or copper is often spliced onto original galvanized or cast iron, and leaks show up at those transitions.
