Hello! Welcome to Plumbers Portland Maine.

Okay, I realize that is an odd name for a website, but there is a reason for choosing this particular combination of words.

You see, when a homeowner in Portland, Maine needs plumbing work done, whether needing a water heater replaced or having a clogged drain pipe cleared, there is a pretty good chance that you will log on to your computer and type in: Plumbing Portland Maine, Portland Maine Plumbers… or maybe Portland Plumbers in order to find a company to handle your needs.

And, I wanted you to find my website because, unlike other sites that may pop up, I do not own my own plumbing company.

I’m actually an impartial consumer who was once in your shoes and had a bad enough experience looking for and hiring local plumbing contractors that it motivated me enough to create this site to help protect you.

It was kind of my civic duty to do so!

Now, I am not going to bash any plumbing outfit out there, but I will make a solid recommendation of three very good plumbers that are licensed, bonded, and insured that you can trust to take care of you.

In additon to this, I want to educate home owners on how their plumbing system works and give you enough knowledge to confidently make a few minor repairs. Or, if you are like many homeowners and scared to death of messing around with your toilet and water, you will be able to make an informed decision should you need to hire a plumbing contractor in Portland to tackle a larger job.

So, if you have a drain field that is backing up or a garbage disposal that no longer works, or anything in between, this site is for you.

Before I got started in this epic quest to find a qualified plumber, I did not know the difference between an drain pipe and a water pipe or how the plumbing system in my house actually worked… maybe you don’t either?

No worries!  I will cover all of this at Plumbers Portland Maine. We will look at your septic system as well as how water is routed through your home and how the waste is routed out of it.

I will show you what toilet repair parts to use when trying to fix a running toilet, how to make sure that your water heater is protected with a heater pressure relief, and how to replace worn washers in any of your bathroom faucets. Also, we will look at products and plumbing supplies, such as a tankless water heater, sump pumps and many other plumbing products that are available to homeowners looking to upgrade or remodel their bathrooms or kitchens.

Most importantly though, this site will help you hire a plumber contractor that is honest and professional.

The last thing you need is to have some backwoods mechanic messing around with your plumbing system and possibly flooding your home.

Also, the prices plumbing contractors charge for various service repair work is all over the board.  You can get ripped off very easily when hiring out plumbing work because most homeowners have no idea how much these repairs should cost… it’s just not something we deal with very often.

And one word of warning.  You cannot rely on an organization like the Better Business Bureau to vouch for a company.

Most people are not aware of this, but the Better Business Bureau is not any type of official governing body like their name implies, and they are actually paid by the businesses they represent! Can you say conflict of interest?

It is also important that you know what organizations a plumber should belong to like the UA Local 716, and what type of state contractor’s license they hold. You can search for a licensed plumber at the Office of Licensing and Registration.

Here are just a few more pluming organizations to help you understand the industry better.

Is the owner of the company a Master Plumber or just a guy/gal with a journeyman’s card who has run out of companies to get fired from and started his own business? If so, I doubt he/she has insurance, and should something bad happen to your home, you could literally be in a “sink or swim” situation.

Does your job require a permit and inspection? Will it be done up to city code? I could go on and on, but you get the picture.

Hopefully after spending a few minutes at my site, Plumbers Portland Maine, you will be able to make an informed decision on who to hire for your plumbing job, or have the confidence that you can do it your self…DIY!
