Serving Hope, Maine and the midcoast with a 4.5-star rating and decades of customer loyalty. Mike and the team show up — even on holiday weekends.
We're not trying to be everything to everyone. We focus on the plumbing problems Maine homeowners and businesses actually run into — and we explain every step so you know exactly what's happening and why.
Burst pipes, sudden leaks, no-water situations. When something has gone wrong fast, Mike and the team show up — even on holiday weekends.
Well pumps, sump pumps, and septic pumps — we diagnose the cause, walk you through the options, and fix it without guesswork or upsells.
Scheduled tank pumping, routine inspections, and maintenance to keep small problems from becoming expensive ones.
From single-family homes to busy commercial properties — including a 4th of July pump replacement completed in under 5 hours with no downtime.

Based on Main Street in Hope, we serve homeowners, camp owners, and commercial properties across Knox and Waldo counties — the same towns we live and shop in.
Brookside Plumbing is a family-owned plumbing company built on long-term customer relationships and old-fashioned reliability. Many of our customers have trusted us for years — they call because they know who's going to walk through the door.
When you call Brookside, you get personalized service and transparent communication. Mike and the team explain every step so you feel safe and informed — no jargon, no surprise upsells, no rushed jobs.
And when it really matters — a burst pipe on a Saturday morning, a pump failure on the Friday before the 4th of July — we show up. That's the whole point.
Call us at (207) 785-2145 and leave a message describing the problem. Our regular hours are Monday–Friday, 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, but we make every effort to respond to true emergencies — burst pipes, no-water situations, sewage backups — outside of those hours, including holiday weekends. While you wait, shut off the main water valve to the house if you can safely reach it.
Response time depends on where you are and what else we're working on, but our customers consistently tell us we show up when others can't — including evenings, weekends, and holidays. One commercial customer had us pump, diagnose, and fix a failed system in under 5 hours on the Friday before the 4th of July, with no downtime for their guests.
Diagnosis starts with a conversation — what's happening, when it started, what you've already tried. From there we inspect the affected fixtures, valves, pumps, or lines, and walk you through what we find. Pricing depends on the job; we'll always explain the work and the cost before we begin, so there are no surprises.
Maine winters are hard on plumbing. Keep an eye on exposed pipes in basements, crawl spaces, and exterior walls — insulate them before deep cold sets in, and let faucets drip during prolonged sub-zero stretches. Have well pumps and septic tanks inspected on a regular schedule. And if you notice changes in water pressure, color, or sounds in the pipes, call early — small problems caught early are almost always cheaper than emergencies.
Yes. We work on single-family homes, camps, and seasonal properties as well as restaurants, inns, and other commercial buildings throughout the midcoast. Commercial work often has tighter deadlines and zero tolerance for downtime — we plan around that.
Pick up the phone. You'll get a real person, a straight answer, and a clear plan.
