How J&R Handles Plumber in Yarmouth
- 17% of Yarmouth’s homes were built before 1940 (median year built 1973), so we check what the house is actually plumbed with before quoting: galvanized, cast iron, early copper or PEX.
- Most of Yarmouth is on Yarmouth Water District water, drawn from aquifer wells in North Yarmouth; the pipes, valves and fixtures inside the house are the part we look after.
- Work that needs a permit is permitted through the Yarmouth Planning and Development / Building Permits & Codes and built to the 2021 Uniform Plumbing Code Maine adopted in 2022.

Do you charge for a plumbing estimate?

How do I keep my pipes from freezing in cold weather?
Insulate any line that runs through an unheated basement, crawlspace, or exterior wall, keep the thermostat at 55°F or higher when away, and open cabinet doors under sinks on cold nights. If a pipe has already frozen, shut off the main and call — thawing it wrong is how pipes burst.
