Overflowing Toilets and Fixture Emergencies in Portland

A toilet that overflows again and again or a faucet that will not shut off can flood a bathroom fast. We clear the clog, replace failed fill valves, flappers or cartridges and check the supply stop. If the fixture shutoff is seized, which is common with older multi-turn valves, we replace it with a quarter-turn stop. That gives you reliable control next time.

Emergency Slab Leak Response in Portland, ME

In homes built on concrete slabs, leaks under the slab can show up as warm spots on the floor, a running meter or the sound of water with everything off. We isolate the hot or cold side so you can keep partial water service. Then we locate the leak with acoustic and thermal equipment. Repair options include direct access through the slab, rerouting the line through walls or attic, or a partial repiping.
