Plumbing permits are issued by the City of New Haven Building Department. Work must be done by Connecticut-licensed plumbers.
Local plumbing issues in New Haven
Coastal flooding and backups
Shoreline neighborhoods like Morris Cove and the Annex see basement water during nor'easters and high tides, which makes sump pumps and backwater valves important.
Student rental wear
Rentals near Yale see heavy use of toilets, drains and water heaters, and problems often go unreported until tenants move out.
Old drains under historic homes
Cast-iron and clay drains under 19th-century homes in Wooster Square and East Rock crack and collect roots from mature street trees.
