Water Treatment
Hard water contains high levels of minerals that cause rusting in your pipes and plumbing appliances. Hard water could even block pipes as calcium sediments build up on the inner surfaces. It’s rare, but hard water can cause water heaters to explode. Residents in Litchfield County are at more significant risk due to the 112 PPM water hardness.

Drain Cleaning
Different clogs call for unique unblocking methods. We try to unclog your drains cost-effectively. For that to happen, we start with a thorough, non-invasive inspection of your drains using state-of-the-art waterproof cameras - we don’t speculate because it wastes time and money! This technique allows our plumbers to identify the cause of clogging, the size of a clog and the exact location of a clog, so we can remedy it as efficiently as possible.

Installing a sump pump and waterproofing system is the least disruptive and most effective way to keep a basement dry - and keep it dry all the time! Our certified plumbers can install a complete sump pump system in just one visit to your home.

Frequently Asked Questions
Harwinton is rural Litchfield County — a small town of about 5,500 people on 31 square miles of land bordered by Burlington to the east, Torrington to the northwest, and Litchfield to the west. The town has no major water utility serving most of its homes. Nearly every home in Harwinton draws water from a private well, and the homes here are typically on propane or oil rather than natural gas. Some of the town's water reservoirs contribute to Bristol Water's system, but Bristol doesn't generally supply Harwinton residents themselves.
That setup creates a specific plumbing reality: most homeowners here are responsible for their own water supply, their own treatment, and equipment that often sits on longer pipe runs than typical suburban installations.
Wells
How does a private well actually work?
A modern Harwinton well is a drilled bedrock well, typically several hundred feet deep, with steel casing through soil and into competent rock. A submersible pump at the bottom pushes water up through poly pipe, through a buried pitless adapter at the frost line, into the house, through a pressure tank, and out to your fixtures.
How often should I have my well water tested?
Connecticut DPH Publication No. 24 recommends basic indicators annually (coliform, nitrate, pH, hardness, iron, manganese, chloride, sulfate, turbidity), lead at least once, arsenic/uranium/radon at least once and ideally every five years, and VOCs at least once.
Should I be concerned about arsenic, uranium, or radon?
Yes — these are worth testing on any drilled bedrock well in Connecticut. The 2020 USGS/CT DPH bedrock well study found 3.9% of Connecticut wells exceeded the EPA arsenic limit (10 µg/L), 4.7% exceeded the uranium limit (30 µg/L), and uranium at detectable levels was present in about 45% of Connecticut. The risk varies by bedrock type, and the only way to know your levels is to test.
What is short-cycling and why does it matter?
The pump turning on and off rapidly instead of running for sustained periods. Almost always caused by a failed pressure tank, a system leak, or a worn pressure switch. It's the fastest way to burn out a well pump.
How long do well pumps last?
12 to 20 years for quality submersibles in typical conditions. Iron, manganese, or sediment shortens that — sometimes by half. Most premature failures trace back to a worn pressure tank forcing excessive cycling.
Should I install a constant pressure system?
For larger Harwinton homes — common in this town — often yes. Constant pressure (variable speed) systems hold steady pressure regardless of demand, which matters in homes with multi-head showers, multiple bathrooms, or significant simultaneous fixture use on longer pipe runs.
