Scarborough’s bathroom remodel market spans every era and price point — premium master baths in Prouts Neck and Higgins Beach, powder room conversions in Pleasant Hill ranches, dual-vanity installs in Oak Hill new construction, and full guest baths when an in-law suite goes into an older Dunstan home. Full rough-in through finish: drain reconfiguration when the new layout doesn’t match the old, supply replacement where mid-century galvanized has run its course, shower valve upgrades to modern thermostatic, dual vanity plumbing, freestanding tub plumbing, and finish work. We coordinate with your tile installer, GC, and inspector for first-time sign-off. Bathroom remodel work is what A.T was built around — and the Scarborough volume specifically is why it’s our strongest service area.

Prouts Neck, Higgins Beach, Black Point, and Spurwink include some of Maine’s highest-valued waterfront properties — homes where the plumbing has to match the finishes and mistakes are expensive to undo. Rain showers, body sprays, thermostatic valves, freestanding tub fillers, wall-mounted faucets, curbless and steam showers, and designer fixtures from Kohler, Grohe, Hansgrohe, Brizo, and Rohl. We work directly with homeowners, contractors, and designers on premium projects across these neighborhoods.

Kitchen remodels in Scarborough run the full spectrum — 1970s ranch kitchens modernized in Pleasant Hill, brand-new rough-ins in Oak Hill construction, and full custom builds in Prouts Neck waterfront homes. Rough-in for new layouts, sink and dishwasher relocation, refrigerator water line, disposal hookup, pot filler installation, island sink plumbing with proper venting, instant-hot dispensers, and finish work. For Oak Hill new construction we coordinate with the GC and cabinet installer from rough-in onward. For older Pleasant Hill and Dunstan kitchens, we deal with whatever the previous owner left behind in the walls.

Tank and electric installs — most within the same week. Scarborough’s mix means we see everything: 1955 Pleasant Hill ranches with utility closets sized for 30-gallon tanks now needing larger modern units, brand-new Oak Hill mechanical rooms with expansion-tank requirements built in, larger residential systems for multi-bathroom Prouts Neck homes, and the occasional commercial-grade install for larger properties. Bracket and expansion-tank updates included.

Running toilets, flange repair, wax-ring replacement, comfort-height upgrades, full replacement — usually a single visit. In older Dunstan and Pleasant Hill homes the flange is often the actual issue: cast iron rusted at the bolt slots, a wax ring that failed silently into subfloor years ago, or a flange now sitting below finished floor level after a previous tile install. In newer Oak Hill and Payne/Scottow construction, it’s usually small mechanical issues with modern dual-flush mechanisms or fill valves out of adjustment.

Drain repair and replacement, leak detection, water line work, and cast iron drain service. The 1945-1975 postwar era produced cast iron drain systems now 50 to 80 years old — entering the typical failure window. Most common pattern: a slow basement joint leak that’s been rotting subfloor for years, or a drain backup that won’t clear because the underlying pipe has scaled to half its original diameter. We scope the repair to fix the underlying issue, not the symptom.

Faucet repair and replacement, sink installs, designer fixtures, disposals, pot fillers, and appliance hookups. Original 1955 angle stops in older Scarborough homes have seized over six decades and won’t close when asked. We address the underlying infrastructure first, then install the fixture.

Drain repair, leak detection, water line work, cast iron drain service, and older-system upgrades for Scarborough’s mixed housing stock. Colonial-era and pre-1900 homes in Dunstan and Pleasant Hill carry the oldest plumbing in town — original cast iron from early-20th-century renovations, galvanized supply unchanged since installation, occasional main drains with house traps. We scope the repair to fix the underlying issue, not work around it.

The oldest homes — particularly in Dunstan, parts of Pleasant Hill, and West Scarborough farming-era neighborhoods — often still have house traps in the main drain. These pre-WWII fittings trap debris, restrict flow, and cause recurring backups, and they haven’t met code since the 1970s. Most southern Maine plumbers refer this out. We don’t. We cut the trap, install code-compliant cleanouts, and replace deteriorated cast iron with PVC or ABS where appropriate. Best scheduled alongside a basement remodel.

Frozen pipe response for existing customers and referrals. Scarborough’s coastal cottage stock in Pine Point and Higgins Beach is most vulnerable — minimal insulation by today’s standards, supply runs in exterior wall cavities, and outdoor bibbs that should have been shut off in October. Inland sees fewer total freezes but more burst-after-thaw failures. Shut off the main at the meter first — that’s the single most important step to limit damage. We also run winterization for the significant seasonal-property concentration in Pine Point, Higgins Beach, Prouts Neck, and Black Point: full drain-down, antifreeze in every trap, water heater shutdown, outdoor shower and bibb protection, documented shutoff record, and spring commissioning included.

Sump installs, replacement, backup pumps, and ejector pump work. Scarborough Marsh proximity matters for roughly a third of the town — properties adjacent to the marsh corridor see higher groundwater pressure during spring snowmelt and major rain. If your basement sees water two or three times a year, your sump is either undersized or aging out. We size to actual flow rate, not whatever fits the existing pit.

Description goOutdoor shower installs for Scarborough’s coastal properties — Pine Point, Higgins Beach, Black Point, and Prouts Neck homeowners who come back from the beach and want to rinse off before going inside. Freeze-protected supply, isolation valve inside the building envelope, frost-free hose bibbs, marine-grade fittings for salt-air exposure, annual winterization guidance. Done right, 30 years on minimal maintenance.
