★★★★★ 5.0 on Google · Owner-operated by Will Pontius
Hermitage sits right between Mount Juliet and Nashville, which makes it one of the easiest places for us to reach. Southern Sun Plumbing is a residential plumber serving Hermitage homes off Old Hickory Boulevard, Lebanon Pike, Andrew Jackson Parkway, and the neighborhoods tucked around Percy Priest Lake.
We're a small, owner-operated business. Will Pontius, licensed Tennessee Master Plumber #651, handles each job personally, so Hermitage homeowners get the same person from the first phone call to the final test of the repair.
Hermitage homes and the plumbing problems that come with age
Much of Hermitage was built from the 1970s through the 1990s. Those homes are solid, but many still have original shutoff valves, aging copper, and fixtures that have been replaced piecemeal over the years. As a residential plumber in Hermitage, we often find that a small drip is coming from a fitting or valve that's simply worn out after forty years of use.
Homes near the lake and along creek-side lots can also see more moisture in crawlspaces. A slow leak under the house can go unnoticed for months. If you notice musty smells, warped flooring, or a water meter that moves when everything is off, it's worth having the plumbing checked.
Repair first, replace when it makes sense
Not every old fixture needs to be ripped out. Sometimes a Hermitage faucet just needs a new cartridge, or a running toilet needs a fill valve and flapper. Other times the fixture is corroded enough that replacing it is the smarter spend. We explain both options and let you choose.
The same goes for water heaters. If your tank is still within its normal service life, a repair may be all you need. If it's leaking from the tank itself or well past its age, replacement is usually the honest recommendation.

- Faucets with stiff handles or drips that come back after repair
- Toilet wax rings that leak at the base after years of settling
- Outdoor hose bibs on the side of the house exposed to winter wind
