Common plumbing problems in Cohasset homes
Cohasset's historic town center has homes from the 1800s and early 1900s with plumbing that has been updated piecemeal over decades — creating mismatched materials at connection points that fail unpredictably.
Salt air from Cohasset Harbor and the coastal shoreline accelerates corrosion in exposed supply fittings, shutoff valves, and drain connections faster than in inland towns.
Older galvanized supply lines in Cohasset's historic homes restrict water pressure gradually — homeowners often don't discover the underlying pipe problem until a fixture replacement exposes it.
Many Cohasset properties serve as seasonal or second homes, meaning plumbing problems can go unnoticed for months before the owners return and find them in worse condition.

Water and sewer in Cohasset — and what it means in your basement
Cohasset takes its drinking water from the Weir River Water System shared with Hingham and Hull, and roughly three hundred homes here send their wastewater to the treatment plant over in Hull rather than to anything within the town's own borders. The rest of Cohasset is not on that connection, which makes this one of the more mixed towns we work in: a street served by the sewer connection and a street on Title 5 disposal can sit within sight of each other. Being on the coast sharpens everything. Salt air corrodes exposed fittings and outdoor spigots faster than inland, a high water table near the harbour puts steady pressure on below-grade drainage and sump arrangements, and the harbour carries a protected no-discharge designation, so what leaves a property is taken seriously by the town.

How Cohasset was built — and what is behind the wall
Cohasset takes its name from the Conihassett Grant of 1633, made to four Merchant Adventurers of London, and it was part of Scituate before standing on its own; the harbour and the rock ledges rather than any factory shaped how it filled in. That produces a housing stock weighted toward older coastal building and later low-density development rather than dense industrial-era rows. Ledge is the practical complication here: shallow rock makes trenching for service and disposal lines expensive and sometimes routes them in ways a plumber has to work around rather than through. Add the coastal factors -- salt on exposed fittings, a high water table near the harbour, and older shorefront houses originally piped for seasonal use -- and the same job costs more here than two towns inland.
