Call (207) 747-1472Sewer Jetting on Old Orchard Beach Properties
Hydro jetting is well suited to Old Orchard Beach's sewer laterals, which serve rental cottages, condominiums and restaurants whose use jumps each summer. Grease from kitchens, sand washed in from the beach, and roots from yard trees narrow the pipe until it backs up during the busiest week of the season. A high-pressure jet scours the pipe wall and flushes the debris toward the main. A camera inspection before and after shows whether the pipe is clear and sound or whether a cracked or offset joint needs replacing. For rental and commercial properties, jetting in the spring before the season starts is usually easier than dealing with a backup in July. It also keeps grease and sand out of the town's pump stations.
Warning Signs
Signs Old Orchard Beach Properties Need Sewer Jetting
Recurring Drain Clogs — If the same drains keep backing up despite snaking, there may be a deeper obstruction that only jetting can clear.
Multiple Slow Drains — When sinks, showers, and toilets are all draining slowly, the main sewer line is likely partially blocked.
Gurgling Sounds in Pipes — Air trapped by partial blockages causes gurgling noises when water drains.
Sewage Odors Inside or Outside — Persistent sewer smells indicate buildup or blockage preventing proper wastewater flow.
Tree Roots Near Sewer Lines — Maine's mature trees commonly send roots into sewer pipes through small cracks and joints.
Local Knowledge
Old Orchard Beach Conditions That Shape Sewer Jetting
Public sewer and private septic in Old Orchard Beach
Old Orchard Beach owns and runs its own sewer through the town Wastewater Department. Its treatment facility is at 24 Manor Street in Ocean Park, and the system has eight pump stations and about 52 miles of gravity sewer and force main. The draft comprehensive plan says it serves about 95 percent of the population, covering the downtown and the Route 9 corridor. Some outer areas still rely on private septic systems. There is no sewer user fee; property taxes fund the system. A multi-million-dollar upgrade of the plant and pump stations was planned for 2025.
Wells, water bodies and shoreland rules in Old Orchard Beach
Old Orchard Beach is mostly water by area. Of about 22.5 square miles, only 7.4 are land, and three miles of the seven-mile beach on Saco Bay lie within town lines. Goosefare Brook flows to the Gulf of Maine at the Saco line, while Cascade Brook and Jones Creek drain north into the Scarborough River estuary. Milliken Mills Pond and Milliken Pond sit in the Mill Brook watershed. Maine Water serves most homes, some use private wells, and the town plan reports no mapped aquifers. The shoreland zone covers the coast, the brooks and the marsh edges.
Old Orchard Beach housing age and what it means underground
The Census Bureau's 2020-2024 American Community Survey counts about 7,800 housing units in Old Orchard Beach, with a median year built of 1982. About 1,800 homes predate 1940, a legacy of the resort era that also produced Ocean Park, the camp-meeting community founded in 1881. Roughly 1,750 units are held for seasonal use, and the town's own plan puts seasonal housing at 27 percent of the stock. Many former summer cottages have been converted to year-round use. Their pipes and pumps were often sized for summer weekends, not year-round families.
