Saco Homes and What They Need
Saco's housing stock is newer than many of its York County mill-town neighbors: the median home was built in 1982, and only about 22 percent of units predate 1940, with roughly 32 percent predating 1960. That newer mix is one reason we see more calls for routine system upkeep here than for full rewiring jobs.
Water Supply and Drains in Saco
Saco shares its public water system with Biddeford: the Maine Water Company's Biddeford-Saco Division draws its entire supply from the Saco River. The city's own Water Resource Recovery Department treats wastewater at a plant on Front Street, licensed for more than 4 million gallons a day. On riverfront and Camp Ellis properties, a sewer line inspection is a smart step given how much the shoreline here has shifted over the decades.
Getting to Know Saco
Saco was settled in 1631 and cycled through a few names over the centuries, including Winter Harbor and Pepperrellborough, before settling on Saco in 1805 and becoming a city in 1867. It elected its first female mayor, Jodi MacPhail, in November 2023.
The city's York Manufacturing Company, once a major textile employer, closed for good in 1958, and Saco has grown well beyond its mill-town roots since -- it's now part of the Portland-South Portland-Biddeford metro area and home to Thornton Academy and Ferry Beach State Park.
Local & Independent — Not a Franchise
We are an independent, Portland-based company, not a franchise chain routing your Saco job to a call center. Our techs are paid to do the job right, not to upsell — no commission structure pushes them toward extra work. We do the work you called us for, do it right, and earn the next call. That is the whole business model.

Fixture Installation: Faucets, Toilets & What Fails First
Fixture replacement is usually the most visible plumbing work in a home, and also where a rushed installation shows up fastest — a faucet that wiggles, a toilet that rocks, a drain that was never quite sealed right.

Codes & Permits for Fixture Installation in Saco
In Saco, plumbing permits come from the Local Plumbing Inspector at the Saco Code Enforcement Department (300 Main Street, Saco, ME 04072, (207) 284-6983). With 20,819 residents, Saco is required to enforce the Maine Uniform Building and Energy Code (MUBEC). Saco's Camp Ellis Beach has experienced significant, well-documented erosion linked to a 19th-century Army Corps of Engineers jetty built at the mouth of the Saco River.
- The Local Plumbing Inspector can reject work that doesn't meet code, order corrections, and must issue a written approval before a plumbing permit is considered closed. mainelegislature.org
- Plumbing repairs and fixture work are permitted and enforced locally by each municipality's Local Plumbing Inspector, appointed under state law. mainelegislature.org
- Maine's plumbing installation standard is the 2021 Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC), adopted by the Plumbers' Examining Board effective January 1, 2022. maine.gov
- Every Maine municipality must annually appoint at least one Local Plumbing Inspector (LPI), who does not have to live in that town, to issue plumbing permits and enforce the state's plumbing rules and Subsurface Wastewater Disposal (septic) rules locally. mainelegislature.org
How Aces Highlands Handles Fixture Installation in Saco
- With a median year built of 1982 and 22% of homes older than 1940, Saco still has plenty of galvanized and early-copper supply lines behind the walls, which changes how we approach a fixture installation.
- Most Saco addresses are on Maine Water Company – Biddeford & Saco Division water, drawn from Saco River (shared surface-water source with Biddeford; the same system also supplies Old Orchard Beach and the Pine Point area of Scarborough) — the pipes, valves and fixtures on your side of the meter are what we service.
- Anything that needs a permit gets one through the Saco Code Enforcement Department, built to the 2021 Uniform Plumbing Code Maine adopted in 2022.

We highly recommend Highlands Heating & AC. They are extremely responsive, knowledgeable and do great work. Our boiler stopped working and Elijah was quick to respond after hours on a Friday. He installed a new boiler and heat pump hot water heater.
Fixture Installation FAQs
Can I supply my own faucet or toilet for you to install?
Absolutely. We install customer-supplied fixtures every week, and we are glad to advise on brands and configurations before you buy so the fixture fits your sink or rough-in. We can also supply the fixture if you prefer one-stop convenience.
How long does fixture installation take?
A straightforward faucet or toilet replacement usually takes one to two hours. Garbage disposals, shower valves, and installations where old shutoff valves or corroded connections need replacement can take longer. We give you a realistic time estimate before we start.
Should my old shutoff valves be replaced during a fixture swap?
Often, yes. Shutoff valves that have not been turned in years frequently seize or weep once disturbed. Replacing a worn shutoff during a fixture installation costs little while everything is already apart — and it means you can actually shut water off in an emergency.
Do new fixtures really lower my water bill?
They can. WaterSense-labeled faucets and toilets use 20-60% less water than older models — a pre-1994 toilet can use 3.5 to 7 gallons per flush versus 1.28 for a modern one. For a busy household, that difference shows up on the bill.
Will you try to upsell me on other plumbing work while you are here?
No. Aces Highlands is a local Portland company, not a franchise — nobody here works on commission. If we happen to spot a genuine safety or leak issue while working, we will point it out and let you decide. Otherwise we do the job you called us for.
