Discovering Old Town, ME
Located in Penobscot County and surrounded by the Penobscot and Stillwater Rivers, Old Town offers small-city charm, a strong sense of history, and a close connection to Maine’s natural beauty. The City of Old Town blends a traditional downtown with riverside homes, forested trails, and a hardworking community spirit.
Old Town’s roots trace back to lumber mills, canoe manufacturing, and its long relationship with the nearby Penobscot Nation. The combination of older mill-era buildings and scenic riverbanks gives the city its signature look—and a few challenges for property owners. Flooding, aging structures, and seasonal storms can all create the need for expert restoration.
Neighboring areas like Orono (home of the University of Maine), Bradley, and Alton extend the local network of homes, shops, and businesses that rely on SERVPRO for cleanup and repair.
What Makes Old Town Special
Old Town’s riverside character defines its lifestyle. Residents enjoy outdoor activities like boating, kayaking, and fishing on the Penobscot River, while local businesses thrive in a community that values tradition and resilience. Many of the city’s properties—ranging from century-old homes to newer rentals and small commercial buildings—reflect its industrial past and natural setting.
Downtown Old Town features small shops and restaurants, while nearby nature trails and forests, including the Dwight B. Demeritt Forest and local recreation areas, offer year-round exploration. The area’s mix of architectural styles, climates, and construction ages means that both water and fire damage are common risks—especially during harsh Maine winters or rainy spring seasons.
Things to Do in Old Town, ME
Life in Old Town blends history and recreation. Visitors and locals often:
- Explore the Old Town Museum to learn about the city’s lumber and Native American heritage.
- Paddle the Stillwater and Penobscot Rivers for scenic outdoor fun.
- Enjoy the trails and wetlands that border town, perfect for hiking or snowshoeing.
- Head to nearby Downtown Orono for shopping, dining, and entertainment just minutes away.
These experiences highlight what makes Old Town vibrant—but they also reflect its environment: a community where river proximity, seasonal weather, and older construction mean staying prepared for property damage is essential.
Why Old Town’s Conditions Create Restoration Needs
Water & Storm Damage Risks
Old Town’s rivers and wetlands add beauty but also risk. Heavy rains, snowmelt, or ice dams can cause flooding, foundation leaks, or roof damage. Many historic and wood-frame homes have basements prone to seepage or sump-pump failure, making timely water damage restoration crucial to prevent mold and structural harm.
Fire & Smoke Hazards
Old Town’s older housing stock, commercial kitchens, and aging wiring increase fire risk. Winter heating systems and chimney use also contribute. When a fire occurs, fire damage restoration services are essential to remove smoke residues, repair structural damage, and restore air quality.
Mold & Moisture Concerns
In Maine’s damp climate, moisture trapped in basements, attics, or crawl spaces can quickly lead to mold growth. SERVPRO’s certified technicians use advanced remediation and drying methods to identify hidden moisture and restore healthy indoor environments.
Residential & Commercial Challenges
With its blend of family homes, student rentals, and small businesses, Old Town demands flexible solutions. A burst pipe in a rental unit, smoke damage in a restaurant, or storm damage to a warehouse all require fast, reliable restoration to minimize downtime and expense.

What our Old Town customers are saying
Thanks for all your help getting the ball rolling on so many fronts, with all of the contractors and your crew. It's nice to know that there are people out there who take pride in their job and show up when people call, especially when they have emergencies. I'm going to tell everyone about you, so if anybody has problems they can call on weekends and not have to worry about people flaking out on emergency calls and not show up. Kudos to you and your top-notch crew!
Had to use the services of this company this past weekend. They had a timely response and the workers who came to resolve the issue were extremely pleasant. Hope not to have to use the service again but if we do, then this will be the company we call and will refer others to their services.
Mike at SERVPRO was so helpful to us when we had a water leak that filled our basement and first-floor bathroom with water. He walked us through the process they use to dry out the house and checked in with us every step of the way over the few days they were doing work in our home. Highly recommend them for any kind of work like this.
I sustained water damage to my bathroom, & bedroom floors and garage ceiling and called Serve Pro upon making the discovery. They agreed to come to my house immediately to assess the situation and then came back promptly with all of their drying equipment which they set up to mitigate the damage. They came to my house every day for 5 days to assess the progress, locked up my home afterwards and called to report. The bill was submitted directly to my insurance carrier. I felt they were trustworthy to be in my home and was I very happy with their service.
I got a call one morning while I was at work from a contractor who had stopped by to do a job. When he opened the basement door he found a completely flooded basement. The pipe to a hose had frozen and burst sometime during the winter. I had just recently started using the hose to water plants and my habit was to turn the faucet on and turn it off when I was finished. The evening before I had not turned off the hose so for around 20 hours water spewed across my finished family room. there are four other rooms in my basement and they were all flooded. I didn't have any idea how I was going to handle this so I called SERVPRO. Mike showed up within the hour, took one look at the situation, and declared, we do this all the time, I've got this. His team arrived and they began the clean up. This was on a Thursday evening about 3pm and by 1:00 the next day the demolition was done and every item was removed, loaded onto a truck to be disposed of, and the dehumidifiers and fans in place. I was incredibility grateful for the service this team provided. I hope I never have another leak in my basement but if I did I would without hesitation call them again.
If there is a pleasant part to having a flooded basement, it was the absolutely fantastic job SERVPRO of Bangor/Ellsworth did cleaning it up! Professional work all the way by professional, knowledgeable and caring people who arrived within an hour of bring called! And, they came back when they said they would to check out and finish the job...sometimes rare these days. Thank you SERVPRO, you are the best!
When your sewer backs up you leave the house. You call a capable plumber to clear the drain so the sewage drains out and then you better call SERVPRO to clean up the mess and make your home safe again. Why SERVPRO, especially SERVPRO of Bangor and Ellsworth Maine? Because the owner, Mike, over delivers and will do everything right to get you back to “happy”. This was my second time with these guys as a water pipe broke while I was in Florida a few years ago and they did a great job getting our cellar cleaned up. This time I had no hesitation in calling them again. Also, my insurance company totally agreed with my decision. SERVPRO was fast, thorough, and made my wife and me “happy” again. Thank you Mike and your team of professionals.
Recently, a broken pipe in our new home led to quite a bit of damage. Literally, after our insurance agent left our home and made a referral to SERVPRO, we received a call from SERVPRO who offered to inspect our home that same night. -Work started the next morning at 9:30. We are very satisfied with their speed, thoroughness, communication, and attention to detail. -It wasn’t an easy job, nor a fun one but no one on the crew expressed that to us. We would definitely recommend SERVPRO to anyone who finds themselves in the same situation.
Superior help, thorough, explained everything, friendly and great follow-up.
