The houses here
New homes in Sharon have modern PEX lines, PVC drains, high-efficiency appliances and sump pits. Older homes and farms around the village rely on wells and septic. New owners often have questions about the systems they just inherited.
Common plumbing problems
- Sump pumps working hard in new subdivisions.
- Expansion tanks and pressure valves needing adjustment.
- Builder fixture issues.
- Hard water on wells in older homes.
- Basement finishing projects.
Local notes
New subdivisions often have stormwater ponds and graded swales, and your sump discharge should work with that grading, not against it. Check your lot grading plan before moving downspouts or discharge pipes.

The pipes behind the walls in Sharon: pipes, drains and houses
| Typical houses | rural and new subdivisions |
|---|---|

| Drains | septic on older lots, sewers in new |
Around Sharon we confirm whether a house sits on a septic bed or a municipal lateral before we ever run a cable machine, since the cleanout and the job differ.
We find which system serves the house first.
