Residential Plumber in Old Hickory, TN
★★★★★ 5.0 on Google · Owner-operated by Will Pontius
Old Hickory has some of the most character-filled homes in the Nashville area — the original DuPont village houses, cottages near the lake, and post-war homes on tree-lined streets. Character is wonderful, but older plumbing needs a residential plumber who's patient with it. That's what Southern Sun Plumbing offers.
Will Pontius, Tennessee Master Plumber License #651, owns and runs the business. When you call about a plumbing problem in your Old Hickory home, he's the one listening, diagnosing, and fixing it.
Working carefully with older Old Hickory plumbing
Many Old Hickory homes have been remodeled several times, so it's common to find different generations of pipe meeting under one sink. Older valves can crumble when turned, and corroded fittings don't always come apart cleanly. A residential plumber in Old Hickory has to plan for that — locating the main shutoff first, having the right transition fittings on hand, and not forcing parts that can fail.
We take that slower, careful approach on purpose. A rushed repair on old plumbing can turn one leak into three.
Small homes, tight spaces
Old Hickory's village homes often have compact bathrooms, small closets for water heaters, and tight crawlspaces. Replacing a toilet or water heater in those spaces takes planning so the new unit fits, meets code, and can be serviced later. We measure before recommending equipment, so you aren't stuck with something that barely squeezes in.
In smaller homes, a single leak also affects more of the living space. A drip under a kitchen sink can quickly reach flooring or cabinets. Getting those small problems fixed early protects the home you love.
