Common Types of Plumbing Services

Most Frederick plumbers provide the following services.

Leak Repair

Leaks, even small ones, can get expensive quickly if not repaired properly. Any plumber you hire will be trained to fix leaks and identify the cause to prevent more.

Drain Cleaning

Debris can clog pipes and contribute to damage, poor drainage, and breaking. Some unattended clogs can cause significant water damage to your property. Licensed plumbers are trained to find and identify the cause of clogs, as well as remove them without damaging your system.

Bathroom Installation

Plumbers can install or replace toilets, tubs, showers, and sinks. Vet your plumber thoroughly, especially when hiring for a pricier project. Look for a licensed contractor with several years of industry experience as well as good customer reviews.

Gas Inspection and Installation

Some plumbers are also trained to detect and repair gas leaks. They can install and repair gas pipes and gas appliances, such as hot water heaters, stoves, and ovens. These types of services can be dangerous, so ensure you hire a highly credentialed plumber.

Inspection and Maintenance

We highly recommend scheduling yearly inspections to help prevent costly or inconvenient plumbing issues. Household plumbing sees a lot of wear and tear, especially if there are multiple people under one roof. Regular plumbing inspections can help catch issues before they get out of hand.

Emergency Plumbing Services

Plumbing problems are never convenient, but the worst time is at night. The last thing you need after a long day is a broken toilet or burst pipe. Many contractors provide emergency services and can help you any time, day or night, so you don't have to wait until morning to get an urgent issue fixed.

The price of plumbing services will depend on several factors, such as the following:

• Amount of labor required
• Plumber expertise (apprentice, journeyman, or master)
• Project complexity
• Required permits

How to Choose a Plumbing Service in Frederick

It's important to find a plumbing company that fits into your budget and provides high-quality work. Here are some things to consider when hiring a plumbing company in Frederick.

Reputation and Reviews

Always look at customer reviews before signing a contract with a plumber—you want to be sure you're hiring an expert who can provide quality services. Also ask to see a plumber's license from the Maryland Board of Plumbing as well as proof of business insurance before starting a project. You want to feel confident that anyone working on your home is properly credentialed.

Hiring a union plumber may lead to more expensive labor costs. However, many homeowners prefer to hire union professionals, as it means the individual has been thoroughly vetted.

Services Offered

Check a company's website to verify that it offers the plumbing repairs you need. Not all companies offer or are qualified to do all types of jobs. We recommend asking about a contractor's experience with your project type to determine if they meet your plumbing needs. You can even ask for photos of finished projects.

Cost

You should balance qualifications and cost when choosing a plumber. We recommend prioritizing work quality over price as much as possible. Get quotes from at least three local providers to compare these factors before deciding.
