My mom was 99 years old and living alone in Alton Bay when, unknown to us, a hot water pipe in her ceiling that had apparently been leaking for a very long time finally broke one Saturday in December 2025.
We called Powers and Sons Plumbing, and Derek Powers arrived within the hour to cap the pipe and get the situation under control. Derek is a Master Plumber and, from the moment I met him, I felt that we could trust him. He is professional, knowledgeable, dependable, and just a genuinely likeable guy. And he absolutely came through for us.
Derek didn't just fix the immediate problem. He took the time to identify the root causes of several plumbing issues we had been dealing with for years and gave us a very reasonable price to correct them properly.
The water damage ultimately required the kitchen to be completely replaced. Throughout the entire remodel, Derek worked closely with the other contractors and adjusted his schedule whenever necessary to keep the project moving. He was always on time, communicated well, and did exactly what he said he would do.
One thing I especially appreciated was that there was never any pressure to buy more or do more than was necessary. Derek never tried to upsell us. It was clear that his goal was simply to solve our problems and do the job right.
We were so pleased with his work that, after the kitchen remodel was completed, we hired him again to install an automatic-flush water filtration system, a new pressure regulator, and a new shower.
I couldn't be happier with the quality of Derek's work or with the way he treated my mom and our family throughout a very difficult situation. If you need plumbing work, I highly recommend Powers and Sons Plumbing. Derek is the kind of tradesman you hope to find when you really need someone you can trust.
