  • How do I know if I have a water leak?

    Signs of a water leak include high water bills, damp walls, mold growth, or the sound of running water when all fixtures are off. According to the EPA, leaks in the household can waste nearly 180 gallons of water each week. To have a plumbing contractor assess potential leaks in your home, reach out to Maryland Advanced Plumbing LLC.

  • Why is my water pressure low?

    This could be caused by pipe corrosion, sediment buildup, or a partially closed shut-off valve. Are you looking for a local plumber? Reach out to Maryland Advanced Plumbing LLC today!

  • What should I do in a plumbing emergency?

    You should shut off the main water valve immediately and call Maryland Advanced Plumbing LLC to speak with a local plumber.

  • Can I use chemical drain cleaners?

    It's not recommended because they can damage pipes and are unsafe. Use a plunger or call Maryland Advanced Plumbing LLC to get a plumbing contractor to help with your drains.

  • Why do I hear banging or knocking noises in my pipes?

    This is often caused by "water hammer," which is a pressure surge when water suddenly stops. It can be fixed with air chambers or water hammer arrestors. Give Maryland Advanced Plumbing LLC to make an appointment with a local plumber.

  • In our experience, you should have your plumbing inspected by a plumbing contractor at Maryland Advanced Plumbing LLC once a year to catch small issues before they become big problems.

    It is recommended to have your plumbing system professionally inspected annually. This practice helps identify minor issues before they escalate into major problems.

  • How do I prevent frozen pipes in winter?

    To prevent frozen pipes, we recommend insulating pipes, keeping cabinets open, and letting faucets drip during very cold weather. Maryland Advanced Plumbing LLC is here to help you with your plumbing all year. Give us a call to speak with a professional local plumber.

  • What causes a running toilet, and how can I fix it?

    Usually, a worn flapper or float valve causes a running toilet. These are inexpensive and can often be replaced by the homeowner; however, if you need a local plumber to help, contact Maryland Advanced Plumbing LLC.

  • What plumbing upgrades increase home value?

    Tankless water heaters, new fixtures, efficient toilets, and modern piping (e.g., replacing galvanized pipes with PEX or copper) can increase your home's value. To experience quality plumbing services, speak with a plumbing contractor at Maryland Advanced Plumbing LLC now!
