Lasting Repairs
Minimal Disruption
Berwick homeowners call Aces Highlands for leak detection & repair because we are close by, based at 508 Riverside St Unit 1 in Portland, and out on York County roads every day — we know this area's housing, weather and permit process cold.
Water leaks can cause significant damage if not addressed quickly. Aces Highlands provides fast leak detection and repair services that stop the damage and fix the problem right the first time.
Whether it is a dripping faucet, a leaking pipe under the sink, a toilet that will not stop running, or a more serious water line issue, we locate the source of the problem accurately and make a lasting repair. If your leak involves a failing water heater, we can diagnose and address that too.
We repair copper, PEX, PVC, and galvanized piping. For older homes with failing pipe systems, we can recommend and perform partial or full repiping to prevent recurring leak issues.
Quick response matters with leaks. Water damage gets worse by the hour and can lead to mold, structural damage, and costly repairs. Contact us as soon as you notice a leak and we will get it handled.

Berwick Homes and What They Need
Berwick's median home was built in 1989, with 16 percent of the housing stock predating 1940 and 21 percent predating 1960 -- a newer profile than you might expect from one of Maine's oldest incorporated towns, since most of the historic core split off with South and North Berwick generations ago.
Water Supply and Drains in Berwick
The Town of Berwick owns its own water system but contracts Maine Water Company to run day-to-day operations and customer service, while the separate Berwick Sewer District treats wastewater at its facility on Powerhouse Road. On a sewer line repair here, that split between town-owned water and district sewer is worth knowing up front.
Getting to Know Berwick
Berwick was incorporated on June 9, 1713, the ninth town incorporated in what is now Maine, on land the Abenaki knew as Newichawannock, or 'river of many falls.' The town used to be much bigger: South Berwick split off in 1814, and North Berwick followed in 1831.
Diamond Hill, at 490 feet, is Berwick's highest point today -- a modest peak in a town whose real distinction is just how long it's been settled, older than the United States itself.
Local & Independent — Not a Franchise
We are an independent, Portland-based company, not a franchise chain routing your Berwick job to a call center. Nobody on our crew works on commission, so there is no incentive to sell you more than the job needs. Earning the next call, not hitting a sales target, is the entire business plan.
How a Pipe Leak Happens
- Supply line — pressurized water inside the wall
- Shutoff valve — closing it stops flow to the leak
- Pinhole leak — sprays fast under pressure
- Water damage — spreads quickly once a line fails
Homeowner Guide
Pipe Leaks: Finding Them Before They Find You
Because supply lines run under constant pressure, a leak rarely announces itself gradually — it's either a slow, hidden problem building for weeks, or a sudden failure that's obvious immediately. Here's how to tell which one you're dealing with.

Codes & Permits for Leak Detection & Repair in Berwick
In Berwick, plumbing permits come from the Local Plumbing Inspector at the Berwick Code Enforcement Office (11 Sullivan Street, Berwick, ME 03901, (207) 698-1101 ext. 122). With 8,175 residents, Berwick is required to enforce the Maine Uniform Building and Energy Code (MUBEC). Water in Berwick is town-owned infrastructure operated under contract by Maine Water Company; outside its service area and the separate Berwick Sewer District, private wells and septic systems are typical.

- Plumbing work in Maine is performed by state-licensed Master or Journeyman plumbers (with licensed apprentices working under them), as established and examined by the Plumbers' Examining Board. maine.gov

How Aces Highlands Handles Leak Detection & Repair in Berwick
- 16% of Berwick's housing predates 1940 (median year built 1989), so before quoting a leak detection & repair we find out what's actually in the walls — galvanized, cast iron, early copper or PEX.
- Most Berwick addresses are on Maine Water Company (contracted by the Town of Berwick for water operations & customer service) water — the pipes, valves and fixtures on your side of the meter are what we service.
- We file for a permit at the Berwick Code Enforcement Office whenever the work calls for one, and build it to the 2021 Uniform Plumbing Code.

I can not recommend Sam and his team enough!! In a world of slow response times and cut corners they went above and beyond in every area, installing a new electrical panel for me. Their attention to detail and love of their craft truly sets them apart from the rest!

Where to begin? These guys hooked up a sauna for me and did an amazing job, it was not a small job. Projects big or small, these guys are my go to. Responsive, reasonably priced, and professional. In a world where it is tough to get good service, I'm thrilled to have these guys in my phone.

Leak Detection & Repair FAQs
What are the signs of a hidden water leak?
A higher-than-normal water bill, the sound of running water when fixtures are off, a spinning water meter with everything closed, musty smells, damp or warm spots on floors, and stains on ceilings or walls are all common signs of a hidden leak. If you notice any of these, have it checked promptly — leaks only get worse.
Why did my water bill suddenly spike?
A sudden spike is most often a running toilet, which can silently waste over 200 gallons a day, or a hidden supply-line leak. An easy first check: put food coloring in the toilet tank and see if it appears in the bowl without flushing. If the toilet checks out, call a plumber to trace the leak.
What should I do first if a pipe bursts?
Shut off your main water valve right away — it is usually located where the water line enters your home or near the meter. Then open faucets to drain pressure from the lines, move belongings away from the water, and call a plumber. The faster the water is off, the less damage you will have.
Can you repair the leak or will you push a whole repipe?
We repair the leak in front of us. As a local company, our technicians are not commissioned salespeople — we only recommend repiping when a pipe system is genuinely failing in multiple places, and we will show you the evidence either way. Most leaks are a straightforward, permanent spot repair.
How quickly can you respond to a leak in the Portland area?
We prioritize active leaks because water damage compounds by the hour. Call (207) 670-8616 and we will get a technician to your home as fast as the schedule allows — same-day in many cases across Portland and Southern Maine.
