Sharptown was building ships on the Nanticoke as far back as 1818, and close to two-thirds of today's houses went up before 1940. Homes that age may have galvanized supply pipe, cast-iron drains or plumbing added in stages over the years. Corroded pipe narrows on the inside, and old drain lines crack or collect buildup.
Repiping and sewer line repair Sharptown homes need start with a call.

Low pressure and rusty water
Galvanized supply pipe in older homes corrodes from the inside, narrowing the line.
Cracked or clogged drain lines
Decades-old drain and sewer lines collect buildup and can crack or shift.
Patchwork plumbing
Plumbing added in stages over many years can mix pipe types and leave weak joints.
Aging water heaters
Older tanks rumble, leak or run short on hot water.
The town's 2025 report showed nitrate up to 7.6 ppm, which is under the federal limit of 10 ppm. The town's annual water quality report has the full results. If your home is on a private well outside town, testing that well is the way to know your own numbers.
Low pressure, discolored water, slow drains and repeat leaks. These often point to aging supply or drain lines, and a check of exposed pipe usually shows what is going on.
Yes. We handle plumbing inside the house and the lines that serve it, whether the home is on town sewer or septic. Call and describe what you are seeing.
