Piping Repair & Repiping in Portland, ME
Protect the Plumbing Behind Your Walls
Your pipes are the backbone of your home's water system. Whether you're dealing with a leaking pipe, a frozen pipe, low water pressure, or aging plumbing, Fontus provides expert pipe repair and repiping across Portland and southern Maine—from targeted repairs to complete whole-home repiping, backed by honest recommendations.
Most of your plumbing is hidden behind walls, beneath floors, or underground, so failing pipes don't always show obvious signs. Small leaks cause costly damage, corrosion reduces pressure and affects water quality, and frozen pipes can burst. Fontus evaluates your system and recommends the right path—a targeted repair or replacing aging piping with a modern, dependable system.

Our Repiping Approach
We start by evaluating your existing plumbing, identifying problem areas, and explaining your options clearly. From there we build a repiping plan around your home, your water needs, and the least disruptive installation possible. We recommend what makes sense—not more than you need.
Why Portland Homeowners Choose Fontus
Many older Portland-area homes still have galvanized or otherwise aging pipe that corrodes, restricts flow, and can discolor water. But discolored or rusty water isn't always a pipe problem—it can be iron or sediment in your water supply. Because Fontus specializes in plumbing along with water treatment, wells, pumps, and water heaters, we can tell the difference and recommend a solution that actually fixes the cause.
- Honest recommendations—repair when it makes sense, repipe only when it's truly the best long-term solution
- Quality craftsmanship and proven installation methods
- Complete water-system expertise
- Solutions built for Maine homes and long-term reliability
Repair or Repipe?
Not every problem requires replacing your pipes. Many issues resolve with a professional repair. But if your system is aging, leaking repeatedly, or showing widespread deterioration, repiping is often the more reliable and cost-effective long-term investment. We'll evaluate your system and help you decide.
Pipe & Repiping FAQs
How long does repiping take?
It depends on home size, pipe material, and access. We design the least-disruptive plan possible and walk you through the timeline before we start.
My water is rusty—do I need new pipes?
Sometimes. Rusty water can come from corroded pipes or from iron and sediment in your water supply. We determine the source before recommending repiping.
Is partial repiping an option?
Yes—if only certain lines are failing, partial repiping can be the right-sized solution.
