Doug Construction is a remodeling contractor in Maryland. In addition to home remodels and renovations, we provide many other services to homeowners as well. At Doug Construction, we provide all types of plumbing services, big and small.
We know how frustrating plumbing issues can be. That is why we pledge to work quickly for an affordable price. Whether you are in need of a toilet installation or a burst pipe repair, we are here for you. Our plumbing service can be broken down into three main categories: installation, maintenance, and repair.
Read on to learn about the plumbing services we can do in your home.
Installation Services
At Doug Construction, we provide a variety of installation services. Here is what we do:
Water Heater Installation: The water heather is a very important part of your home. If it breaks, no more warm showers or washing laundry at a high temperature. Small issues can sometimes be repaired, but often a new water heater will need to be installed. If you notice things like water leaking or water that is not hot enough, these are signs it might be time for a new water heater.
Toilet Installation: Often during a bathroom renovation, homeowners will want to replace their toilet. Toilets can look worn and outdated. If you are remodeling and updating the rest of the bathroom, you will want a new, modern toilet to be installed as well. Plus, new toilets are much more efficient and will help save water.
Water Filtration Systems: Want higher quality water? We can install a water filtration system at your home. There are two types of systems. One is called a point of use system and is installed under the sink. The second is called a point of entry system which is installed in the basement so that all water that comes into the house is filtered.
Water Softener Installation: Do you have “hard” water? Homeowners with hard water will often notice buildup in the shower or sink and sometimes on their dishes. After showering, their hair and skin may also feel dry. At Doug Construction, we can install a water softener that will remove the metal cations out of the water that cause it to be hard.
Bathroom Remodeling
At Doug Construction, we can do your bathroom remodel and plumbing work. Often homeowners do bathroom renovations and have to call in a separate plumber to do things like installing a new shower or tub. At Doug Construction, we are your one stop shop for bathroom renovation and plumbing needs.
Maintenance
Maintenance is a very important part of keeping a healthy plumbing system in the home. Having good maintenance habits will lead to less expensive and extensive repairs in the long run. Here are the plumbing maintenance services in Maryland we provide:
Drain Cleaning: It is important to get drains in the home cleaned every once in a while to prevent clogs. A minor clogged drain can be fixed with something like Drano, but a more severe clog will need to be cleaned by a professional like Doug Construction.
Re-piping: In order to maintain the quality of the pipes in the home, they will need to be checked and sometimes fully replaced. If your home is over 50 years old or you are noticing a pattern of leaks, it could mean it is time for re-piping.
Back-flow Testing and Certification: Back-flow is a condition no homeowner ever wants to experience. This is when the contents of your plumbing system leak back into the public water supply, causing contamination. Most homes have back-flow prevention but sometimes these can wear out and fail. At Doug Construction, we will inspect and test for back-flow issues and do maintenance if necessary.
Repair
Burst Pipe Repair: A burst pipe is an issue that needs to be repaired right away. It can cause flooding which can damage the home and cause further issues like mold growth. Often a burst pipe can be patched if it gets cracked but sometimes a new pipe will need to be put in.
Slab Leak Repair: A slab leak is when the water or sewer lines under the house break, crack, or burst. It can be hard to identify a slab leak because they aren’t visible. If you hear water running when water is turned off or if your bill is abnormally high, you may have a slab leak. Call us immediately if you suspect a slab leak and we will come out to complete the repair.
Sewer Repair: Sometimes a sewer line gets cracked or collapses due to things like tree roots or a building settling. At Doug Construction, we do trenchless sewer repair which means the repair can occur without digging up the entire yard. Basically, we run a new pipe through the older one and use an inspection camera to diagnose repairs.
Toilet Repair: A broken toilet is never fun. Whether it is leaking, constantly running, or has a foul odor, we can help repair the toilet.
Water Heater Repair: Often when a water heater isn’t working properly, it will be replaced. In some instances, if the issues are minor, a repair can be done to avoid a full-on replacement.
Showers and Tubs: When it comes to showers and tubs, the most common repair we do is fixing clogs. Minor clogs can typically be fixed by homeowners, but bigger clogs need professional help.
