Nichols Plumbing & Drain Cleaning

03/19/2026

Attention Home Buyers & Realtors: Listen, we get it. You’re in a bidding war. You’ve seen the "charming" original hardwoods and the "chef’s kitchen." You’re ready to sign. But unless you have x-ray vision, you have NO idea what’s happening in the one place that actually matters: the main sewer line.

Buying a house without a professional sewer scope is like marrying someone without meeting their family—it might look fine now, but the "hidden issues" are going to cost you a fortune and a lot of tears later.

Why you need Nichols Plumbing BEFORE you close:

Tree Roots are Hungry: That beautiful oak in the front yard? It’s currently trying to turn your sewer pipe into a snack.

The "Oops" Factor: Orangeburg pipe, bellies, and cracks don't show up on a standard home inspection.

The $15,000 Surprise: Would you rather spend a few hundred bucks on us now, or $15k+ on a yard excavation next month?

Realtors: Don't let your clients move into a nightmare. Be the hero. Call the experts who actually know what they’re looking at.

Buyers: If the seller says "the drains are fine," they’re either lying or lucky. Don't bet your savings on "lucky."

GET SCOPED. SAVE YOUR SANITY. 📞 Call Nichols Plumbing today to schedule your pre-purchase sewer inspection. 207-989-1533

🕵️‍♂️ The Maine spring thaw: The ultimate truth-teller. ❄️

Your pipes might have been keeping a secret all winter, but the snowmelt is about to snitch. 📉🌳

Thirsty tree roots love to find a home in your lines, but once the spring thaw starts overloading the system, those "minor" issues turn into major backups.

Check out this recent rescue mission:
📸 The "Before": A massive root hairball treating this perimeter line like an all-you-can-eat buffet. 🥗
📸 The "After": High-pressure jetting cleared the path, leaving the pump pit and sewer lines ready for the extra flow.

If your drains are starting to gurgle or your sump pump is struggling with the melt, don't wait for the "big reveal" in your basement. Let Nichols Plumbing evict the roots before the thaw wins! 🛠️🚿207-989-1533

Yesterday, Nichols Plumbing hosted 19 6th-8th graders from Brewer to learn about careers in the trades. We shared three different aspects of our work; soldering pipes, jetting drain lines, and excavation.

The students showed an interest and aptitude for futures in the trades.

This Groundwater Awareness Week, we’re highlighting practical ways to conserve water at home.

You don’t have to do everything — just start somewhere. Fix a drip. Shorten a shower. Reuse where you can.

Progress over perfection.

HEY!! central maine, What's lurking in your pipes? 🧐
It’s almost growing season! While we love the green leaves, we don't love what happens underground. Tree roots can travel surprisingly far to find water, turning your sewer line into a tangled mess of "root balls" that block flow and cause backups.
Beat the spring rush! Book your inspection now and keep your plumbing flowing smoothly.

🪚🔨Has another company told you cut it open and replace it without much explanation? Before you let someone grab the chainsaw and start opening up walls or ceilings for a “mystery obstruction,” it might be time for a second opinion.

At Nichols Plumbing, we don’t jump straight to demolition — we take the time to diagnose the problem properly and explore smarter, less invasive solutions first. Many blockages can be cleared without turning your home into a construction zone.

Save your walls. Save your ceiling. Save your sanity.
Give Nichols Plumbing a call and let us take a run at it before things get cut open.
