Guilford has some of the oldest continuously occupied houses in the country, and the plumbing history around the Green reflects that — layers of cast iron drain stack, galvanized supply, and copper added a century apart, sometimes in the same wall. Renovation-era plumbing failures here are common and rarely simple.
North of the Post Road the picture changes: Nut Plains and North Guilford run heavily on private wells and septic systems, which means pressure-tank problems, pump failures, and drain-field issues that a town-water plumber may not handle. Worth asking before you book.
Covering Guilford from the historic Green and the Whitfield House neighborhood out to the shoreline at Sachem's Head, Leete's Island, and Mulberry Point, plus the wells-and-septic properties in Nut Plains and North Guilford. Coastal properties face salt exposure; inland properties more often need well and septic expertise.
