Water Heater Leak Cleanup in Rockland

Tank water heaters wear out over time as sediment builds up, and a failed tank can release 40 to 75 gallons. Municipal water in Maine is generally soft, but soft, slightly acidic water can slowly corrode copper pipes and cause pinhole leaks. Water often spreads into garages, closets and adjacent rooms. We replace the heater, add a drain pan when possible and dry the surrounding area. Damaged drywall and baseboards are replaced after drying.

We locate and repair the slab leak, often by rerouting the line overhead. Then we dry the slab and remove damaged flooring before new flooring goes in.
