Plumbing for Well-Water Homes
Water lines, fixtures, heaters, and treatment on private-well properties.
Quick answer
We handle the plumbing inside well-water homes — water lines, fixtures, heaters, and treatment — the house side only. The well, pump, and pressure tank are separately licensed and we refer them out. This we cover across the whole service area including Chattanooga. Tennessee license #5045.
A house on well water is still a house, and the plumbing inside it — the lines, fixtures, heaters, and water treatment — is squarely our work. The well system itself is not, and keeping that line clear is how we stay honest and inside the license.
Well-water properties are common across the rural corridor we serve, and they often get told that everything about their water is one specialized job. It is not. The house side — the plumbing you live with — is ordinary plumbing we do everywhere.
What the job covers
- Water lines, fixtures, and water heaters in well-water homes
- Iron, sulfur, and sediment treatment on the house side
- Repairs and installs on the home plumbing, straightforward
- Clear referral for the well, pump, and pressure tank
House side only, and who we refer to
Everything from where the water enters the house onward is ours: supply lines, fixtures, water heaters, and treatment for iron, sulfur, and sediment. The well itself, the pump, and the pressure tank are separately licensed work, and we refer those to a well contractor. If your problem turns out to be the pump or the tank, we will tell you plainly and point you to the right person rather than take on work that is not ours.
Permits
Some plumbing work requires a permit and an inspection, and some does not. Whether one is required for your job is determined by the Authority Having Jurisdiction — the city or county building and codes office for your address — and it is at their discretion.
Usually requires a permit
- Water heater replacement and tankless conversion
- Whole-house repiping
- Water service line and sewer line replacement
- Gas line installation and repair
- Relocating a fixture to a new position
Usually does not
- Drain cleaning and clearing blockages
- Emergency and repair work
- Like-for-like fixture replacement
- Water heater repair
- Camera inspection and diagnostics
This is general guidance rather than a ruling, and it can differ from one town to the next. The Authority Having Jurisdiction makes the determination. Across the Bradley–McMinn corridor we pull the permit and book the inspection ourselves. Inside Hamilton County and Chattanooga the permit office does not accept an application from our license class, so permit-required jobs there are referred to a licensed partner who does the work and meets the inspector.
