Plumbing in New Hamburg

 

What’s differentabout New Hamburg homes.

New Hamburg’s hard groundwater, its rural wells and Wilmot’s permit rules shape a lot of the work we do here.

Water

Hard groundwater, about 19 grains

New Hamburg’s municipal water comes from the Region of Waterloo’s groundwater wells and runs about 19 grains per gallon, which is hard on our scale. A 30,000 grain softener suits most homes of two to four. See Region of Waterloo’s water softener facts.

Permits

A permit for plumbing work

Most plumbing work on water, sanitary and storm lines needs a building permit from the Township of Wilmot. We pull the permit and book the inspection as part of the job.

Rural wells

Well water needs its own plan

Homes on a private well around New Hamburg can have iron, sulphur or bacteria as well as hardness. Ontario offers free private well water testing, and we treat what the results show: iron and sulphur first, then softening.

Storms

Basement flooding

Heavy storms test sump pumps and floor drains. A battery backup sump pump keeps working when the power goes out.
