What We See in New Richmond Plumbing
A few things specific to New Richmond that affect your pipes and fixtures:
Hard Village Water
New Richmond runs its own water system from artesian wells. Village officials have described the water as fairly hard, and third-party data puts it in the very hard range. We test hardness on site before recommending a softener.
Historic River-Town Homes
Homes near the riverfront can have galvanized supply lines, cast-iron drains, and clay laterals. We explain your options before any work starts.
Basements Near the River
Low-lying homes near the Ohio River depend on a working sump pump. We install primary and backup pumps and new or replacement pits.
Recent Work in New Richmond
Sump pump jobs in New Richmond are about more than the pump itself. We size the replacement to how much water actually comes into the pit, install a check valve so pumped water doesn't fall back in, and make sure the discharge line carries water well away from the foundation instead of dumping it next to the house. In basements that never had a sump, we can put in a new pit and pump.
