Gilman Plumbing & Heating: Trusted Plumber Serving Newport 4953

A professional plumbing inspection includes checking all connections, supply lines, and drain hoses under and behind your dishwasher. Our Newport technicians look for early signs of wear, corrosion, or loose fittings that are common culprits for leaks. Catching these issues early during a routine inspection can prevent water damage to your kitchen floors and cabinetry, saving you from a messy and expensive repair down the line.

If you turn on a faucet and only get a trickle or no water at all, you may have a frozen pipe. First, keep the faucet open. Then, carefully apply gentle heat to the frozen section using a hairdryer, heating pad, or towels soaked in warm water—never use an open flame. Call Gilman Plumbing & Heating immediately. We can assess the situation, safely thaw the pipe to prevent bursting, and perform an inspection to identify any vulnerable areas in your home's plumbing that need better insulation.

Our Maine winters are notoriously tough on plumbing. A pre-winter inspection from our local team focuses on identifying pipes in unheated areas like basements, crawl spaces, and garages that are at high risk of freezing. We check for proper insulation, inspect your water heater's performance, and ensure all exterior faucets are winterized. This proactive service is the best defense against the disruptive and damaging frozen pipe emergencies that are all too common in our community.
