Spring Hill draws its water from the Duck River, and in dry years the river runs low. From May 1 to September 30, the city asks residents to water lawns on an odd and even schedule, with Fridays off so the reservoirs can refill. In September 2024 it went further and asked for voluntary cutbacks after the Duck River Agency declared a river drought. A toilet that keeps running, a faucet that drips or a leaking hose connection wastes water every day of the year, and it shows up on your bill. Most of these are small fixes: a flapper, a fill valve, a faucet cartridge. We'll track down the worn piece and replace just that, not the whole fixture. ## What does a hard freeze do to plumbing in a Spring Hill home? January nights in Spring Hill average below freezing. The pipes at risk are the ones closest to the cold: outdoor faucets, lines inside garage walls, and supply lines that run through an attic or over an unheated garage. Before a freeze, unhook garden hoses and open the cabinet doors under sinks on outside walls. If a pipe does freeze, shut off the water at the main valve before it thaws. A split pipe often stays quiet until the ice melts, and then it lets go all at once. ## Do plumbing repairs in Spring Hill need a permit? Some do. Inside city limits, the City of Spring Hill's Building Codes and Inspections department enforces the 2018 International Plumbing Code, and it covers the Maury and Williamson sides of town alike. A like-for-like fixture swap is often exempt, but the city makes that call. Rerouting supply or drain lines, adding a fixture or replacing a water heater usually goes through a permit and inspection. We'll tell you up front whether yours does. ## What plumbing repair covers - **Leak repair.** Dripping faucets, leaking supply lines, failed valves and pinhole leaks in copper and other pipe. We repair the section that failed and check the pipe around it. - **Valves and shutoffs.** Main shutoff valves, the small shutoffs under sinks and toilets, outdoor faucets (hose bibs) and pressure-reducing valves that no longer hold the pressure where it belongs. - **Low pressure and noisy pipes.** Tracing low pressure to its cause, from a clogged aerator to a failing pressure-reducing valve, and quieting water hammer, the bang you hear when a valve closes quickly. - **Toilets, faucets and drains.** Running toilets, loose or leaking toilets, worn faucet cartridges, and drain pipes that leak at a trap or a loose joint under a sink or tub. - **Frozen and burst pipes.** Repairing pipes that split in a hard freeze, then insulating or rerouting lines in crawl spaces, garages and exterior walls so it's less likely to happen again. - **New construction and renovations.** Plumbing rough-in and trim-out for new homes, additions and remodels. That's the work Root House specializes in, and one call covers the HVAC and electrical too.

Yes. The county line doesn't change the repair. It can change which electric utility is on your bill, and just outside city limits it can change which office issues a permit. ### My Spring Hill water bill jumped. Could it be a leak? It could be. Turn off every faucet and water-using appliance, then look at your meter. If the dial or the small leak indicator still moves, water is going somewhere. A running toilet is the most common cause, followed by outdoor faucets and hidden leaks in walls or under the slab. Call or text (615) 426-9344 and we'll help you track it down. ### Where is the main water shutoff in a newer Spring Hill house? Often in the garage near where the water line comes in, or in a utility closet close to the water heater. Some homes have it in the crawl space. There's also a valve at the meter near the street, but that one is meant for the utility. If you can't find yours, ask us to show you when we're out. ### A pipe burst during a freeze. What do I do first? Shut off the main water valve. Turn off the water heater, at the breaker for electric or the gas valve for gas. Open a faucet at the lowest point in the house to drain what is left in the lines. Then call us at (615) 426-9344. We work Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ### Why do my faucets and showerheads get a white crust? That's mineral scale from the calcium in the water. Spring Hill's Duck River water carries enough of it to show up on aerators and showerheads over a few months. Soaking them in vinegar loosens it. If a faucet also drips or turns stiffly, the cartridge inside may be scaled up, and replacing it is a short repair. ### Can you repair leaks in PEX piping? Yes. Many homes built in the last 20 years have PEX, a flexible plastic supply line, instead of copper. Leaks usually show up at a fitting, or where a line was nicked or kinked during construction. The fix is a new fitting or a short new section of pipe. ### Is a leaking outdoor faucet worth fixing? Yes. A dripping hose bib wastes water all through the summer watering season. A frost-free faucet that split in a freeze can leak inside the wall every time the hose is used, soaking drywall before anyone notices. Both are usually simple repairs. ## Related - [Water Heaters in Spring Hill](https://roothousemechanicals.com/service-areas/spring-hill-tn/water-heaters) - [AC Repair in Spring Hill](https://roothousemechanicals.com/service-areas/spring-hill-tn/ac-repair) - [Heating Repair in Spring Hill](https://roothousemechanicals.com/service-areas/spring-hill-tn/heating-repair) - [Electrical Repair in Spring Hill](https://roothousemechanicals.com/service-areas/spring-hill-tn/electrical-repair) - [Everything we do in Spring Hill, TN](https://roothousemechanicals.com/service-areas/spring-hill-tn)
