Gene's Plumbing handles burst pipe repair across Southwest Harbor and the surrounding area — licensed, insured and available for emergencies.
Frozen pipes in Southwest Harbor split at the weak point, usually in an exterior wall, a crawlspace or over an unheated garage. The repair includes insulating that run so it does not repeat.
Every house handles burst pipe repair a little differently depending on its age, and Southwest Harbor has plenty of both old and new. The fitting, the pipe material and the way the last plumber left it all change what the right repair is.
That is why the Southwest Harbor truck carries parts for more than one era of plumbing. The burst pipe repair job gets finished on the first visit wherever it can be, because a second trip costs you a day and costs us the trust.
The order we work in, and why.
Tell us what you are seeing, hearing or smelling. If water is actively running into the house, you get walked to your main shutoff before anything else is discussed.
Finding the real cause is what keeps the repair small. Opening one square foot of wall instead of twenty starts with knowing exactly where to open it.
If there is a cheaper option that will actually hold, you hear about it. If the cheap option is a patch that fails in six months, you hear that too.
The repair gets made with proper materials, pressure tested where the job allows, and checked in front of you before anything is closed back up.
The questions homeowners ask about this one.
It depends on what the diagnosis turns up, which is why you get a firm price for your burst pipe repair job in Southwest Harbor before any work starts rather than an hourly rate that runs while you wait.

Feedback from customers who had this work done.
"Got a quote elsewhere for a full repipe at five figures. Second opinion here found two bad sections and a pressure regulator. Cost me a fraction of the first number."
"Burst pipe in the crawlspace in January. He had the main off and the section cut out before I finished explaining. Pressure tested it in front of me before he closed it up."
"Old cast iron stack was leaking behind the wall. They cut it out and put in new, and were careful about dust with plastic and a fan. That mattered with a baby in the house."
