Common plumbing problems in Maine
Maine plumbing is built around long, cold winters. Frozen pipes are the most common emergency, especially in older farmhouses, seasonal camps and additions with little insulation. Many homes outside the cities run on private wells and septic systems, and older homes often have a mix of copper, galvanized and newer PEX lines.
Frozen pipes
Pipes in exterior walls, crawl spaces and unheated additions freeze during cold snaps. Seasonal homes need proper winterizing before they're closed up.
Wells and septic
Rural homes rely on well pumps, pressure tanks and septic systems, which need their own maintenance and can fail in deep cold.
Older housing
Many homes are more than 70 years old, with galvanized lines and old shutoff valves worth replacing.
Licensing, permits and insurance in Maine
Maine licenses plumbers through the Maine Plumbers' Examining Board, and plumbing permits are issued by the town, usually through the local plumbing inspector. Ask for the plumber's license number and check it with the state.

FAQ
Maine plumbing questions
How do I winterize a seasonal camp?
Shut off and drain the water system, blow out lines where needed, drain the water heater and add plumbing antifreeze to traps. Many plumbers offer this service.
Why does my well pump keep cycling?
A waterlogged pressure tank or a leak in the system is a common cause. A plumber or well contractor can check it.
