Frequently Asked Questions

A secondary drain down is an advanced plumbing procedure where we use compressed air to purge water lines after a standard gravity drain. This ensures that "low spots" or "bellies" in the piping are completely dry, preventing freezing in hidden areas.
Yes! We use only non-toxic, biodegradable Propylene Glycol (RV Antifreeze). It is specifically designed to be safe for septic systems, porcelain fixtures, and the environment.
In Maine, we recommend scheduling between mid-October and early November. Ideally, the service should be completed before the first hard freeze (consistent temperatures below 32°F).
Not necessarily. As long as we have access to the main water shut-off and the interior plumbing fixtures, we can perform the service while you are away. We provide a digital report with photos upon completion.
