Plumber work in Smyrna, Maine
Plumbers install and repair water supply, drain, waste and vent piping, fixtures, water heaters and the piping that serves them. Smyrna is in Aroostook County, whose county seat is Houlton and whose population was 67,105 in 2020. TradeHire shows postings at county level, so this page lists every plumber opening in Aroostook County, not only those in Smyrna itself.
26.7% of the housing units in Aroostook County were built before 1950 and the median home was built in 1972 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year estimates). Older buildings mean galvanized and cast-iron piping reaching the end of its life, and Maine winters make frozen-pipe repairs and well-and-septic work a regular part of the job outside the sewered towns.
- Aroostook County is known for potato farming and is a growing center for wind power.
- The county has hospitals in Presque Isle (Northern Light AR Gould), Caribou (Cary Medical Center), Houlton (Houlton Regional Hospital) and Fort Kent (Northern Maine Medical Center).
- Twin Rivers runs a large paper plant in Madawaska that gets pulp by pipeline from its sister mill across the border in Edmundston, New Brunswick.
- Caribou averages about 9,048 heating degree days a year and about 38 nights at or below 0°F (1991-2020 NOAA normals), so heating systems here work hard.
