With more than 19,000 customer reviews and highly trained plumbing professionals, Heritage Home Service proudly serves homeowners throughout Maine with reliable bathroom plumbing services.
Shower Drain Unclogging Services
If your shower is draining slowly, it’s usually a sign that debris has begun building up inside the drainpipe.
Hair, soap residue, shampoo, conditioner, and mineral deposits gradually collect over time, restricting water flow. As the blockage grows, water may begin pooling around your feet or stop draining altogether.
Our plumbers use professional drain cleaning equipment to safely remove clogs and restore proper drainage without damaging your plumbing system.
Signs Your Shower Drain Needs Professional Cleaning
Don’t ignore the early warning signs of a clogged drain.
Call Heritage Home Service if you notice:
- Water draining slowly after a shower
- Standing water around your feet
- Gurgling noises from the drain
- Unpleasant odors coming from the shower
- Water backing up into the shower pan
- Frequent recurring clogs
Addressing these issues early can often prevent more serious plumbing problems later.
What Causes Shower Drain Clogs?
Most shower drain blockages develop gradually from everyday use.
Common causes include:
- Hair buildup
- Soap scum
- Conditioner residue
- Body oils
- Mineral deposits from hard water
- Dirt and debris
If a drain continues clogging repeatedly, the blockage may be located deeper within the drain line and require professional equipment to remove completely.
Safe, Professional Drain Cleaning
Many homeowners try chemical drain cleaners before calling a plumber.
While these products may temporarily improve drainage, they often fail to remove the entire blockage and can damage certain plumbing materials over time.
Our plumbers use professional tools designed to remove clogs safely and thoroughly.
Depending on the situation, service may include:
- Drain inspection
- Mechanical drain cleaning
- Professional drain augering
- Removal of accumulated debris
- Evaluation for deeper plumbing issues if recurring clogs are present
Our goal is to restore proper drainage while helping reduce the likelihood of future blockages.
Toilet Repair Services
A properly functioning toilet is essential to every home.
Whether your toilet won’t flush, leaks around the base, or continues running after every flush, Heritage Home Service can diagnose the issue and provide dependable repairs.
Running Toilets
A running toilet wastes water every minute it continues operating.
Common causes include:
- Worn flappers
- Faulty fill valves
- Flush valve problems
- Improper float adjustments
Repairing these components helps restore normal operation while reducing unnecessary water waste.
Toilets That Won’t Flush Properly
If your toilet requires multiple flushes or struggles to clear the bowl, the problem may involve:
- Partial drain blockages
- Internal tank components
- Water level adjustments
- Worn flushing mechanisms
Our plumbers identify the underlying cause before recommending repairs.
Toilet Leaks
Leaks may develop around:
- The base of the toilet
- Tank bolts
- Supply line connections
- Fill valves
- Flush valves
Even a slow leak can damage flooring and subfloors if left untreated.
Frequent Toilet Clogs
Occasional clogs happen in most homes.
However, repeated toilet blockages may indicate:
- A deeper drain obstruction
- Venting problems
- A failing toilet
- Main drain or sewer concerns
We’ll inspect your plumbing system to determine why the problem keeps returning.
Repair or Replace Your Toilet?
Many toilet problems can be repaired without replacing the fixture.
However, replacement may be recommended if:
- The porcelain is cracked
- Repairs are becoming frequent
- The toilet uses excessive water
- Internal components continue failing
- You’re remodeling your bathroom
- You want a more efficient fixture
Our plumbers explain your options and help you choose the solution that best fits your home and budget.

In addition to shower drains and toilets, Heritage Home Service also repairs:
