Plumbing
Water is stealthy. A small pinhole leak can release thousands of gallons of water over time, rotting framing, encouraging mold, and driving up utility bills. We are Lewiston, ME’s specialists in leak detection and repair. We use forensic-level technology to locate hidden leaks behind walls and under concrete slabs, resolving the issue with surgical precision.
A slab leak is a leak in the copper water lines buried beneath your home's foundation. Finding it without digging requires skill. We use acoustic listening discs and electronic "sniffers" to hear the frequency of escaping water through the concrete. We pinpoint the exact location, marked with an X, so repairs can be focused and minimally invasive.
Once a slab leak is found, we offer solutions tailored to your home:
If your water bill has spiked but you see no water, call us. We perform a systematic audit of your plumbing. We check toilets for silent leaks (flapper issues), inspect the main service line in the yard, and test the pressure regulator. We find the source of the waste and stop it.
The longer a leak goes undetected, the more damage it does. Let our technology find the source and stop the waste.

The Lewiston area traces its roots to 1669 with the early presence of the Androscoggin tribe (the namesake of the county in which the city resides). In the late 18th century, in 1795, Lewiston was incorporated as Lewistown. The presence of the Androscoggin River and Lewistown Falls made the town an attractive area for manufacturing and hydro-power businesses. The rise of Boston rail and textile tycoon Benjamin Bates saw rapid economic growth rivaling that of Cambridge, Worcester, and Concord. Irish immigrants were recruited to build the railroad links and dig the canals for the textile mills. The Irish stayed, and worked the mills and established flourishing businesses, as evidenced by the McGillicuddy, Callahan, and other Blocks and the St.Joseph's and St.Patrick's churches. In the 1850 Census Lewiston was fully 23% Irish born. The increase in economic stimulus prompted thousands of Quebecers to migrate, causing a population boom; the populace rose from 1,801 in 1840 to 21,701 in 1890. In 1855, local preacher Oren Burbank Cheney founded the Maine State Seminary, the first coeducational university in New England and one of the first universities to admit black students before the Emancipation Proclamation. Lewistown quickly became associated with the liberal arts and was incorporated as "Lewiston" in 1864, a year before the college was chartered as Bates College.
