## The honest read

Big Wave Plumbing is a plumbing business holding 5.0 stars from 10 ratings on both HomeAdvisor and Angi. Its website describes plumbing fixture installation and repair, naming sinks, faucets, toilets, bathtubs, showerheads and dishwashers, and the company says it has been in business four years.

A 2025 Google customer said Elliott got back in touch immediately, fit them into his schedule within a couple of days and fixed a leaking toilet quickly for a price they called more than reasonable. That 2025 customer also said Elliott mentioned a partial refund CMP offers for first-time leaks, which ended up saving them more than they paid for the repair.

A 2025 customer with a basement bathroom pump problem said Big Wave got back to them when promised and explained over the phone how to fix it themselves, with no charge. A 2025 customer said Elliot looked at the damage and the surrounding area on his first visit, offered multiple options to correct the problem and recommended piping updates because some older installations in their older home did not meet current code.

A 2025 customer said Elliot explained how he would bring a water heater installation up to current code for Maine. A 2025 customer said Big Wave Plumbing & Gas got their water heater up to code and clearly explained everything that needed to be done. A 2025 customer said Elliot sourced and plumbed a tub, plumbed a dishwasher and repaired plumbing for their bathroom sink.

A recent HomeAdvisor customer praised a prompt reply and the workmanship.

**Strengths:**
- Quick scheduling — a 2025 customer was fit in within a couple of days
- Free phone advice — a 2025 customer got a pump fix explained at no charge
- Water heater to code — a 2025 customer said Elliot explained the code upgrade
