Curtis Bay sits on the Baltimore City side of our service area, so its homes receive Baltimore's treated surface water from the Loch Raven and Prettyboy reservoir system, and that water is very hard, among the hardest municipal supply in Maryland at roughly 185 milligrams per liter. Combined with older cast-iron distribution mains that can leave water discolored, that means softeners, carbon filtration for scale and chlorine taste, and whole-house sediment filtration are among the most valuable upgrades a Curtis Bay homeowner can make, protecting water heaters, fixtures, and appliances.

As one of Baltimore's older neighborhoods, Curtis Bay has a housing stock rich in character but often carrying aging galvanized, cast-iron, and lead-era pipe and water service lines, making repiping and line replacement common and worthwhile. Nearly every home has a full basement, where sump pumps, backups, and drainage guard against the Patapsco waterfront's high water table, spring rains, and coastal storms; mid-Atlantic winters bring hard freezes that threaten exposed pipes; many older homes heat with boilers we install and service; and mature trees send roots into aging sewer laterals.

Seasonal Plumbing in Curtis Bay

Curtis Bay plumbing follows the mid-Atlantic calendar. Flush the water heater yearly to clear the scale hard Baltimore water leaves behind; test the sump pump ahead of spring rains and coastal storms given the waterfront water table; before winter, insulate exposed pipes in basements and disconnect hoses; and have older sewer laterals and boilers checked before the cold sets in.

Linda Burns

I highly recommend this company. They were quick and responsive in scheduling my service, and the plumber they sent out was fantastic. Sometimes it’s hard to find a plumber, but search no more. Use them! I certainly will use them again. Most importantly, their prices are very reasonable and competitive.

W P

Outstanding experience! A polite young man Mr. Amado handled a small repair for us, and everything went seamlessly. Scheduling through the call center was quick, communication was stellar, and the pricing and workmanship were top-notch. As someone who has worked in the service industry for a long time, I truly appreciate the commitment to customer service and communication training shown here. The quality of work still needs to stand the test of time, but the overall experience was 10 out of 10. I won't hesitate to use them again!

Brian Ridenour

Daniel was great!! He was very prompt and explained the workings of the new water heater. The company is awesome. Now you could find a cheaper water heater and cheaper labor but I tried one of those water heaters from the big box store and it failed after only 4 years. The ones that Benjamin Franklin sells are MADE IN THE USA instead of a foreign country. Give them a try, you won’t be sorry!

Dennis Sen

10/10, no doubt about it. Lucas was prompt, professional, and knowledgeable. We had an issue with our water heater that left us without hot water or heat this fall. He quickly diagnosed the problems, explained his findings in excellent detail, and got everything fixed. He also went the extra mile in a couple of ways I didn’t expect, which I really appreciated. I’d absolutely recommend Lucas!

Refind Vintage

We had our water heater repaired and had a new water filter system installed after the technician suggested it. He was friendly and factual. After his visit we had to have another repair man to set the water heater temperature. Now it is working fine.

Suzyn Purdy

Christian was a very kind and pleasant young man. He did an exceptional job replacing my kitchen sink faucet and incinerator. He was thorough and helped to get the smell out of our pipes I would recommend him for any job.

Larry Murphy

Our plumber, Jared was efficient and understood our issue quickly! Very respectful of us and property and we highly recommend this company.

Jeremiah Fisher

A full gas water heater installation -- quick install with courteous service. Jon Hare and Luke Stelly gave excellent advice and were finished with the install in less 3 hours (including purchasing the unit itself)! Thanks!

Tammy Spencer

Luke was awesome! I am so happy that I picked your company to do my repair! I will be using your company again. Thank you for your awesome service! I would highly recommend your company to anyone needing service done at their home!

Paula Thompson

The guys were personable, have plumbing experience and seemed knowledgeable of the situation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Curtis Bay's water so hard?

Curtis Bay receives Baltimore City reservoir water, which is very hard, around 185 mg/L, some of the hardest municipal water in Maryland. A softener plus carbon and sediment filtration protects your plumbing and improves taste; we test and advise.

Should I repipe my older Curtis Bay home?

If it has corroding galvanized or cast-iron pipe or a lead-era service line, repiping and line replacement are lasting fixes that restore pressure and water quality. We inspect and recommend honestly.

How do I keep my basement from flooding?

A properly sized sump pump with battery backup and good drainage guards against the Patapsco waterfront's high water table and storms. We install, upgrade, and maintain complete systems.
