About Jerm's Plumbing and Heating in Norwich, VT

Septic freezing is a common issue in our cold Vermont winters. The first step is to stop all water use to prevent further problems. We recommend calling us for an inspection. We can assess the situation, often using specialized equipment to safely thaw lines and check for damage to the tank or drain field. For prevention, we can advise on proper insulation and usage habits to help protect your system through the season.

A leak at the base of your toilet often indicates a failed wax seal, which is a common issue we see in Norwich homes. While it might seem straightforward, improper installation can lead to water damage to your subfloor. We handle this repair by carefully removing the toilet, cleaning the area, installing a new, high-quality seal, and re-securing the toilet to prevent future leaks and ensure a proper, watertight connection.

Our plumbing inspection is a thorough check of your home's key systems. We examine visible pipes for leaks or corrosion, test water pressure, inspect fixtures like faucets and toilets for proper operation, and check your water heater for safety and efficiency. For homes with septic systems, we can also assess the main drain line. This proactive service helps us identify small issues before they become major problems, saving you money and hassle.
