Plumbing in New Hampshire

New Hampshire relies on private wells more than almost any other state in New England, with a large share of households outside its few cities pulling their own water rather than connecting to a municipal system. That means well pumps, pressure tanks, and the iron or manganese staining that shows up in a lot of the state's groundwater are routine plumbing concerns here in a way they simply aren't in more urbanized states. The state's older farmhouses and homes built before modern insulation standards add a second, separate risk: pipes running through uninsulated crawlspaces, sill areas, and exterior walls are prone to freezing and bursting during the sustained sub-freezing stretches New Hampshire winters regularly deliver, often in spots a homeowner wouldn't think to protect. New Hampshire plumbers are licensed through a tiered system with apprentice, journeyman, and master classifications, and much of the trade's day to day work in the state splits between well system service and freeze related pipe repair.
