Plumbing in West Hartford: what local homeowners should know
West Hartford has the most densely built neighborhoods in the area, with many homes dating to the early and mid 1900s around West Hartford Center, Elmwood and Bishops Corner.
Older homes and mature street trees are a classic combination for sewer trouble. Roots work their way into older clay and cast iron sewer lines, causing slow drains and backups. Many older homes also still have galvanized supply pipes.

Connecticut winters are hard on plumbing. Pipes in exterior walls, crawl spaces and unheated basements are the most likely to freeze, and spring snowmelt is when sump pumps get tested.
