Plumbing Contractor Dixmont ME | Call Dons Plumbing And Heating

Our thorough plumbing inspection checks your outdoor faucets for proper drainage and insulation. We identify any faucets that aren't frost-proof and recommend upgrades or proper winterization techniques, like draining and shutting off the interior valve, to prevent freezing and burst pipes common in the Dixmont area.

Before winter, we recommend an inspection to check septic tank levels, ensure the system is properly insulated, and verify that the drain field is functioning correctly. We look for areas where cold air can penetrate and advise on adding extra insulation or a layer of mulch to protect the system from the freezing temperatures common in our region.

Absolutely. Our inspection goes beyond just pipes. We check for drafts around plumbing penetrations in walls and foundations, inspect water heaters for efficiency ahead of increased demand, and ensure sump pumps are operational to handle potential ice melt. This proactive approach helps safeguard your entire home against a range of winter-related plumbing problems.
