At E. Garrity Water Solutions we focus on quality water improvements over quantity. We use our years of experience and expertise to complete your project with perfection. Customer service and honesty are the most important aspects of our business, and your satisfaction is guaranteed. Please call us today for an estimate. We look forward to working with you.

"For weeks, we were getting less and less water from our faucets. Finally, we were down to a dispiriting trickle. A first visit from Garrity did not resolve the issue. When, concerned, I called back several days later, they immediately dispatched Joe and Cody, who arrived w/n 15 min. They probed deeply to find out the cause, discovering a cracked pipe and failing well pump, dating from about 30 years ago. They installed a new pump and new well cap up to current code and ensured that the water coming from the well was bacteria-free. This am, Joe was back by 8 am to show us how to flush all chlorine residues from our system and explain what he had done. Joe was determined, undaunted and kept at it until he found the cause of the inadequate water pressure--despite the late evening hour yesterday. His explanations were informative, clear every step of the way and helped us understand what was going on. He was patient, amiable and very good at what he does. Thank you Joe, Cody and Garrity!"

Our team has over 90 years of combined experience providing reliable radon mitigation, water filtration, and well pump services and solutions to the Fairfield, New Haven, Hartford and Litchfield Counties of CT. Want to create a healthier and safer home environment? Call CT Radon and Well Water Solutions to schedule a no-cost radon mitigation or well water treatment estimate. We also offer cost effective well pump repairs throughout Fairfield, New Haven, Litchfield, and portions of Hartford and Middlesex counties. Schedule yours today!

"I would not recommend. I am a real estate agent and contracted this company to install a radon mitigation system in a home prior to closing based on a high radon level test during inspection. I met the company rep at the property and he quoted a system later that day after inspecting the home. The system was installed two weeks later and a retest came back more than double the level of the initial test. This company claims they have a warranty to cover any system modification to get the levels below 2.0. The company sent a crew back out twice and yesterday said the slab is too thick for the system they installed, the hole the installers drilled is too narrow and the home is in a flood zone. We knew the home was in a flood zone, but this company never asked about that and did not do any due diligence prior to installation. They are refusing to honor their warranty and are now quoting a different system that is much more costly. Can?t recommend."

"After Garrity refused to repair the (very) expensive damage they negligently caused to the heating element in the water pipe providing water to my home, I had to sue. Don?t trust them. Don?t hire them. Don?t go near them. If you think they are the gold standard, as I did, just ask other professionals in the same business. Beware, stay away from them."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Yes, shower water does go into the septic tank. In fact, all the water you use in your home goes into the septic tank. This includes water from sinks, the dishwasher, the washing machine, and toilets. This water is called greywater. It’s important never to put oil or harsh chemicals down any drain because they could cause a clog in your septic system or even disrupt the natural bacteria needed for wastewater management. 

The depth of a septic tank’s drain lines is between 18 and 36 inches underground. These pipes are filled with perforations and surrounded by sand, gravel, or a combination of both, as both materials help filter wastewater. While some pipes are buried closer to the surface, this can create problems unless the soil is compact and doesn’t shift much. 

The average life span of a well is about 30 to 50 years. Several factors can affect a well’s lifespan, such as its size, construction quality, water demand, and regular maintenance. Environmental factors, including droughts and earthquakes, can also have an influence. Drilling deeper, getting professional maintenance, and regulating your water usage can help extend your well’s lifespan.

The most budget-friendly septic system is a plastic tank, which starts at around $2,900. This is $200 less than concrete septic tanks and $500 less than fiberglass.

A septic tank should be pumped once every three to five years or sooner if there’s a problem with your plumbing backing up. A large 5+ person family who frequently has guests over using the bathroom or who pours a lot of water and food down the garbage disposal may need to get it pumped closer to every two years.
