What that means for your plumbing

A small city that has grown into a suburb has homes from many periods, and each era has its own common plumbing problems. Older homes may need repiping; newer ones may need valve and fitting repairs. Knowing your home's age helps the plumber plan; see kitchen and bath plumbing.

Wasatch Front weather

Like the rest of the Ogden area, Harrisville gets its first snow in late fall and its last in spring, with hot, dry summers in between. That means freeze protection for half the year and heavy outdoor watering for the other half.

Named for a pioneer

The first permanent settlement at Harrisville was made in 1850. A post office called Harrisville opened in 1871 and ran until 1902, and the community was named after Martin H. Harris, a pioneer settler. More than 170 years of settlement mean some properties have been rebuilt or extended several times. If your home has an addition, check how its pipes connect to the original house and whether they pass through any cold, unheated spaces. Lines in additions and over crawl spaces are a common freeze point. A plumber can tell you whether insulation or rerouting would help before the next cold snap.
