Common Plumbing & Heating Issues in Harvard Homes

Well Water & Pressure Systems
Many Harvard properties rely on private well systems. We specialize in well pump repairs, pressure tank replacement, water treatment systems, and troubleshooting low water pressure issues common in Harvard well systems.

Septic System Considerations
Harvard homes on septic require careful plumbing work to protect your septic system. We provide septic-safe fixture recommendations, proper venting, and grease trap installations to keep your septic system healthy.

Frozen Pipes in Rural Properties
Harvard's rural setting and cold winters create higher risk for frozen pipes, especially in homes with crawl spaces or exposed plumbing. We provide emergency frozen pipe repair, thawing services, and preventive insulation solutions.

Basement Flooding & Sump Pump Needs
Harvard homes experience basement water issues during spring snowmelt and heavy rainstorms. We install reliable sump pump systems with battery backup to protect your basement from flooding.

Aging Heating Systems in Historic Homes
Many of Harvard's beautiful historic homes have outdated heating systems. We specialize in upgrading old systems while respecting the character of historic properties, installing modern high-efficiency equipment that works seamlessly with your home.

Hard Water & Iron Staining
Harvard well water often contains high iron content and minerals that cause staining and buildup. We install water treatment systems, softeners, and iron filters to address these common Harvard water quality issues.

Boiler Issues in Older Homes
Many Harvard homes rely on boiler heating systems. We repair and maintain all types of boilers and can upgrade you to modern high-efficiency condensing boilers that dramatically lower heating costs.
