Most Glenn Dale homes were built around 1990, and 31% predate 1980 — so a lot of them still run their original supply pipe and water heaters, well past service life. We check pipe condition, water-heater age, and shut-off valves on every visit.

The call we get most in Glenn Dale is pitted galvanized pipe on older homes.
