Life is good. It is good, that is, until you hear the loud rush of water somewhere in your Maryland home.
You have got burst pipes.

With temperatures expected to dip well below the freezing mark over the next several days here in Maryland, our team at Mid-Atlantic Water Services has some tips to protect your Annapolis plumbing equipment:

Your Edgewater basement is flooded and filled with water. Now what?

At Mid-Atlantic Water Services, we recommend an annual plumbing inspection for your Edgewater home. Many homeowners pass on the inspection not realizing its importance in your regular home maintenance.

It’s bound to happen to Annapolis homeowners sooner or later—a clogged drain. Although clogged drains are often a nuisance, they can many times be managed at home with inexpensive solutions. 

Plumbing emergencies may seem like spontaneous events that happen without warning, but that’s not always the case.
They typically start as minor issues that grow bigger over time. As the plumbing problem balloons, it offers clues about the nature of the impending emergency.

One of the most common causes of a kitchen drain clog is too much food getting stuck in your drain. Avoid pouring oil, coffee grounds, bones, eggshells, and other tough foods (or non-food items like paint) to reduce the likelihood of a clog.

You depend on your sump pump to prevent your Edgewater home from flooding in the basement. But it can’t do its job properly when there’s an issue with it.

If you have “city” water, well pumps do not need to be part of your vocabulary. If you do have a well, you will want to read on.

Water is dripping from your Edgewater home’s faucet—but how serious is the situation? Truthfully, even a little drip could lead to a big problem!

Indoor plumbing is one of those things we all take for granted—that is, until we lose that convenience due to a plumbing problem. When plumbing issues inevitably arise, knowing what to do and who to call can drastically reduce the stress and difficulty of the situation.
