Has your water pressure dropped lately? Are the taps sputtering, or is your well pump starting and stopping more often?

If your home in Barrie or the surrounding area relies on a private well, these are useful details to share when arranging service.

Note when the change started and whether it affects the whole house or just one fixture. Previous service records can help, too, if you have them.

You don’t need to figure out the cause yourself. Call Harris Plumbing, Wells & Drains to discuss what you’ve noticed and the appropriate next step.

Choosing tile and taps is the fun part of a bathroom renovation. Planning the plumbing inspections deserves a spot on the list, too.

During a two-bathroom renovation in Barrie, an inspector identified plumbing work that needed correcting. The homeowner contacted Harris Plumbing, Wells & Drains. Our team completed the corrections, and the work subsequently passed inspection.

We’ve shared the story and practical lessons on permits, testing and keeping plumbing accessible until the required inspection is complete.

A water softener is supposed to make life at home easier, not leave you wondering where that unpleasant smell is coming from.

We recently came across a case where a homeowner noticed a strong sewage-like odour after having a water softener installed. When we assessed the situation, we found a concern with how the drain line was arranged.

It’s a good reminder that proper installation matters, especially when it comes to drainage connections. A strange smell doesn’t automatically mean your drinking water is contaminated, but it’s not something you should simply ignore.

If you're in Barrie and have questions about your water softener or have noticed something unusual after installation, our latest article explains what to look out for and when to call a professional.

Your Water Suddenly Stopped. What's Causing It?

If your Barrie-area home has no running water, don't assume the pump needs replacing just yet.

The first step is to narrow down the problem.

- Only one tap affected? The issue may be with a fixture, valve, or branch pipe.

- No water anywhere in the house? Check whether there's a wider supply interruption or a problem with your home's water system.

- Water pressure drops during showers or laundry? A pump issue, system restriction, leak, or well recovery limitation could be involved.

The symptoms provide useful clues, but they don't confirm the cause on their own.

If your home relies on a private well, proper diagnosis can help prevent unnecessary replacements and recurring interruptions.

At Harris Plumbing, Wells & Drains, we focus on finding the cause—not just replacing the first suspected part.
