Winterization
Winterization Saves Time & Money
Maine winters are cold. If the plumbing system in your home, camp, or business hasn’t been properly winterized, there’s strong likelihood damage will occur. The damage you may not notice until the temperature warms enough for the ice in your pipes to melt.
If this happens, water could flood your property. This could cause unwanted water damage. Possibly leaving you with the hefty cost of replacing furniture, cabinetry, flooring, piping, not to mention construction materials.
One of the best ways to avoid this situation is to hire a professional plumber to winterize your property. Tim’s Plumbing has years of experience winterizing homes, camps, and businesses. We take our job seriously.
We know how much damage poor winterization can cause. Our winterization procedures protect your property from late fall, through the coldest part of winter, into late spring, when it’s time for us to open your property back up for the summer months.

Insulating Your Pipes Can Prevent Heat Loss & Condensation
Insulating pipes is a plumbing service offered at Tim’s Plumbing. Often it’s a one-time service that produces year-round savings. With insulated pipes, your hot water stays hot during the cold months. Your cold water stays cold during the warmer months.
