Trumbull's water comes two ways, and the right plumbing depends on which you have. Most of the town is served by Aquarion Water Company, which draws treated surface water from Fairfield County's reservoirs, moderately hard and chlorine-disinfected, so softeners and carbon filtration for scale and taste are popular upgrades. But many Trumbull homes, especially in the more rural and northern reaches, draw from private wells drilled into New England's crystalline bedrock, and that water carries its own signature challenges: hardness, iron and manganese staining, and naturally acidic, low-pH water that corrodes copper pipe and causes pinhole leaks. Iron filters, acid neutralizers, and softeners, matched to a proper water test, are the fixes, and Connecticut guidance recommends testing well water regularly for bacteria, pH, hardness, iron, arsenic, radon, and more.

Trumbull's established housing stock shapes the rest. Older colonials and mid-century homes commonly carry aging galvanized, cast-iron, and lead-era pipe and service lines, making repiping and line replacement worthwhile, and many heat with hot-water or steam boilers we install and service, a New England staple. Nearly every home has a full basement, where sump pumps, backups, sewer ejector pumps for lower-level baths, and good drainage guard against snowmelt and spring rains. And the town's beautiful mature trees send roots into aging clay and cast-iron sewer laterals, making drain cleaning, hydro jetting, and trenchless sewer repair frequent.

Above all, Connecticut's hard winters make frozen and burst pipes the defining seasonal emergency here, in unheated basements, crawlspaces, garages, and along exterior walls, so insulation, frost-proof hose bibs, and fast burst-pipe repair are part of life in Trumbull from late fall into spring.

Seasonal Plumbing in Trumbull

Trumbull plumbing follows the New England calendar. As winter approaches, insulate exposed pipes in basements, crawlspaces, and garages, disconnect and drain outdoor hoses, seal drafts near pipe runs, and know where your main shut-off is, a frozen pipe can burst and flood a finished basement fast. Have your boiler and water heater serviced before the heating season, and flush the water heater yearly for sediment and scale. In spring, test your sump pump and any backup before the heavy rains, and if you're on a well, keep your pump, pressure tank, and treatment maintained. Through the warmer months, watch for the slow drains and soggy spots that signal root intrusion in older sewer lines, and mind Aquarion's seasonal irrigation schedule during the region's recurring dry spells.

Brennie Brackett

Made appointment to pinpoint leak in shower head. Turned out it was the valve which needed replacing. Hugo was great. Ordered it and returned the following day to install. He also shared information about flushing out our tankless water heaters and addressing excessive pressure coming into the house. We are checking with the builder before we schedule those additional jobs to see if there is any warranty on our home.

Mark Katzman

Hugo came on time. Fixed problem.

Donna

Angi recommended Benjamin Franklin Plumbing with a 5-star rating. Repairman, Wilson did a great job. We had a leak in a waterline in the front yard. Excellent service. He was professional, knowledgeable, and worked in a timely manner. Afterwards, he cleaned up the work site and did a safety inspection. I would definitely recommend this company and Wilson 😃

Rich Dunham

★★★★★ Exceptional service from Ethan and Benjamin Franklin Plumbing in Lisbon! I called just before closing and they had someone out to my home first thing the next morning. Ethan was fantastic - very polite, professional, and efficient. Pricing was very upfront before any service was provided, so there were no surprises. The job was completed within an hour! Exceptional customer service from start to finish - I also spoke to the office manager and everybody was very polite. It’s GREAT to have and know this company is serving the North Country! Thank you! Highly recommend!

Jim O'Callaghan

We were very blessed to have such an expert as Mike come to our house to troubleshoot our hot water heater. The man is a consummate professional, has decades of experience, knew exactly what he was doing, did what he needed to do, and we couldn't be more pleased to have had this absolute expert come to evaluate our water heater. As soon as we met him, we knew we were in good hands. He'll be back in 2 days to replace the hot water heater. Thank you so much!

William Rosshirt

Great! Andrew was friendly and knowledgeable. Came out an hour after I called and got my water line fixed up. He also let me know how to protect it from future problems. I'm a happy customer

Justin Faulkner

Great communication when trying to schedule and when in route. Answered my questions and explained options before starting. Completed the work, verified it was fixed and cleaned the area when he was done. (Kitchen sink clog - more than 25’ from the sink)

William Whitehouse

Justin did a great job unclogging my kitchen sink. I tried to do it myself and evidently it went up the vent at the T instead of going down into the clog. Hopefully it will not clogged again but if it does and I can't get it I will be calling again. This is the 2nd time I've used Ben Franklin Plumbing and am happy the the fast response and courtesy of the plumbers. I recommend Ben Franklin Plumbing to anyone I know needing a plumber.

N Peterson

Chris is very upbeat and personable. He showed up on time and was very knowledgeable and got everything done the same day that we needed repaired and replaced. I’m very pleased with his work and would highly recommend Chris for any future plumbing projects.

Jorge Hernandez

Jordan is amazing! He went out of his way to get the job done. Professional top-notch the best I’ve seen in a long time I would recommend and make sure you ask for Jordan.M

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my Trumbull home on Aquarion water or a well?

Trumbull has both. Most of the town is served by Aquarion Water Company (treated reservoir water), while many homes, especially in more rural areas, are on private bedrock wells. We service both, softeners and carbon filtration for Aquarion water, and iron filters, acid neutralizers, softeners, and well-pump service for well homes. If you're unsure, we can help you identify your source and test your water.

How do I keep my pipes from freezing in the winter?

Insulate exposed pipes in unheated basements, crawlspaces, and garages, disconnect outdoor hoses, seal cold-air drafts near pipe runs, and let a faucet drip in extreme cold. We install pipe insulation and frost-proof hose bibs, and if a pipe does freeze or burst, our emergency team responds fast to thaw and repair it.

Why does my well water stain fixtures or cause pinhole leaks?

Iron and manganese in bedrock well water cause rust and black staining, while naturally acidic, low-pH water corrodes copper pipe and causes blue-green staining and pinhole leaks. After a water test, we install the right iron filter, acid neutralizer, or softener to fix it, and repair any affected pipe.

Should I repipe my older Trumbull home?

If your home has corroding galvanized or cast-iron pipe or a lead-era service line, repiping and line replacement are lasting fixes that restore water pressure and quality. We inspect for rusty water, low pressure, and recurring leaks and recommend honestly.

Do you service boilers and sewer ejector pumps?

Yes. Many Trumbull homes heat with hot-water or steam boilers, and our licensed team installs, repairs, and replaces them. We also service and replace sump pumps and sewer ejector pumps, which many homes here rely on for lower-level bathrooms, laundry, and basement drainage.

Are you available around the clock in Trumbull?

Yes, our emergency plumbers answer 24/7 for urgent problems like frozen or burst pipes, flooded basements, and sewer backups, backed by the On-Time Guarantee. For non-urgent work, our office hours are 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM on weekdays.
