Drain Cleaning
Slow or clogged drains are among the most common plumbing complaints we hear from Maine homeowners. Kitchen grease, soap scum, hair, food particles, and mineral buildup from our state's hard water all contribute to blockages that worsen over time. Maine Plumbing Pros uses professional-grade equipment including hydro-jetting machines and motorized drain snakes to clear stubborn clogs that store-bought chemicals can't touch.
We clean kitchen sinks, bathroom drains, main sewer lines, floor drains, and outdoor drainage systems. Recurring clogs often signal deeper problems like pipe bellies, root intrusion, or deteriorating cast iron. A standard drain cleaning service runs $125-$275 for accessible drains, while main line clearing with camera inspection typically costs $350-$550. We always provide upfront pricing before beginning work, so there are no surprises when we finish.
Water Heater Repair & Installation
Whether you have a traditional tank water heater or a modern tankless system, Maine Plumbing Pros has the training and parts to keep your hot water flowing. Tank water heaters generally last 8-12 years in Maine's climate, while tankless units can operate efficiently for 15-20 years with proper maintenance. We work with all major brands and both natural gas and electric models.
Common problems we solve include inconsistent water temperature, rusty or discolored hot water, strange noises from the tank, pilot light failures, and complete heating element burnout. Repairs typically range from $150-$450 depending on the component failed. When replacement makes more sense, tank water heater installation averages $1,200-$2,500 including the unit, while tankless installation runs $2,800-$4,500 due to venting and gas line requirements. We help you calculate long-term energy savings to make the right choice for your household and budget.
Leak Detection & Repair
Hidden water leaks can waste thousands of gallons and cause structural damage before you ever see evidence. Maine Plumbing Pros employs electronic leak detection, thermal imaging, and acoustic listening equipment to pinpoint leaks behind walls, under concrete slabs, and in underground lines without unnecessary destruction to your property.
Signs you may have a hidden leak include unexplained water bill increases, damp spots on walls or ceilings, mold or mildew odors, foundation cracks, or the sound of running water when fixtures are off. We repair slab leaks, pinhole leaks in copper piping, corroded galvanized lines, and leaking joints in PVC or PEX systems. Leak detection service starts at $275, with repairs ranging from $200 for simple accessible fixes to $1,500-$3,500 for slab leak repairs requiring concrete work. Early detection saves money—call us at (888) 217-3928 if you suspect a problem.
Toilet, Faucet & Fixture Services
Dripping faucets, running toilets, and outdated fixtures waste water and drive up utility bills while diminishing your home's appearance. Maine Plumbing Pros repairs and replaces all bathroom and kitchen fixtures, from basic models to high-end designer pieces. We also install water-efficient fixtures that qualify for utility rebates and reduce your environmental footprint.
Toilet repairs for flapper, fill valve, or handle issues typically cost $125-$225. Full toilet replacement with a standard model runs $350-$650 including installation. Faucet repairs start around $125, while replacement averages $200-$400 depending on fixture complexity. For whole-home fixture upgrades during renovations, we offer package pricing and coordinate with your timeline to minimize disruption.
Sewer Line Services
Your sewer line carries all wastewater away from your home, and when it fails, the consequences are serious. Maine Plumbing Pros provides complete sewer line inspection, cleaning, repair, and replacement. Using video camera technology, we assess pipe condition from the inside to identify cracks, offsets, root intrusion, and collapsed sections without excavation.
For damaged lines, we offer trenchless repair methods including pipe lining and pipe bursting that restore functionality without destroying your landscaping, driveway, or sidewalk. Traditional excavation remains necessary for severe collapses or bellied lines. Sewer line cleaning with camera inspection costs $350-$550. Spot repairs range from $1,500-$4,000, while full line replacement runs $4,000-$12,000 depending on length, depth, and method. We obtain all necessary permits and coordinate with local utilities.
Sump Pump Services
Maine's spring snowmelt and heavy rains make sump pumps essential for homes with basements or crawl spaces. Maine Plumbing Pros installs, repairs, and replaces sump pump systems to protect your foundation and belongings from water damage. We recommend and install both pedestal and submersible models, plus battery backup systems that keep working during power outages.
Warning signs of sump pump trouble include cycling too frequently or not at all, strange noises, visible rust, or water in the basement despite the pump running. Standard sump pump replacement costs $450-$850. Battery backup system installation adds $800-$1,400. We also perform annual maintenance including float switch testing, pit cleaning, and discharge line inspection for $150-$200—cheap insurance against basement flooding.
Bathroom & Kitchen Plumbing
Whether you're remodeling a dated bathroom, upgrading to a gourmet kitchen, or building new construction, Maine Plumbing Pros delivers professional rough-in and finish plumbing that meets code and exceeds expectations. We coordinate with contractors and homeowners throughout the project to ensure proper placement of drains, vents, and supply lines before walls close.
Our remodeling services include relocating fixtures, installing pot fillers and farmhouse sinks, configuring shower systems with multiple body sprays, and integrating smart water monitoring devices. Rough-in plumbing for a standard bathroom addition averages $2,500-$4,500. Kitchen sink and dishwasher relocation runs $1,200-$2,800. We provide detailed estimates based on your plans and help value-engineer solutions that achieve your vision within budget.
