Plumbing in Washington

Trusted Plumbing Service In Washington

Much of the District's housing is rowhouse stock that has been standing — and being re-plumbed piece by piece — for a century or more. That history lives in the walls: mixed pipe materials, modified drain runs, and original cast iron that has outlasted several kitchens. Working on it well means diagnosing what is actually there, not what the era suggests should be.

The District also runs its own regime end to end: DC Water bills the service, and the DC Department of Buildings issues the permits. Neither works like the Maryland counties next door, and we handle the difference as part of the job.

District rowhouses concentrate a century of plumbing decisions into narrow walls. Freeze season finds supply runs in unheated cellars, old cast iron stacks shed scale into shared drain lines, and every renovation inherits whatever the last three did.

Mallick crews cross into the District daily from the Gaithersburg shop, upper Northwest most of all — 24/7 dispatch, DC Department of Buildings permits handled when the job needs one, and written warranties on the work.

What We Get Called For In Washington

Rowhouse Drain Problems

Shared and stacked drain runs mean one house's clog is sometimes the block's. We camera first, clear what is actually blocked, and show you the footage.

Drain cleaning and clearing

Old Supply Line Failures

Mixed generations of pipe fail at their joints and transitions. We diagnose what is actually in the wall before recommending work.

Leak detection

Water Heater Swaps

Tight utility closets and rooftop vents make DC swaps a planning job. Sized right, vented right, permitted right.

Questions

Plumbing Questions From Washington

Still stuck?

The office can usually tell you what is wrong over the phone.

(301) 804-6759

Do you actually work in DC, or just Maryland?

Yes — Mallick crews cross into the District regularly, and the emergency line is answered 24/7. Upper Northwest neighborhoods near the Maryland line are the most routine runs.

Who issues plumbing permits in Washington, DC?

In the District, plumbing permits come from the DC Department of Buildings, and DC Water is the utility — a different regime from the Maryland counties. When a job needs a permit, we handle the paperwork as part of the work.

Do you work on DC rowhouses?

Rowhouse plumbing is its own discipline — shared party walls, stacked systems, old cast-iron drains and supply lines that have been modified many times over a century. We diagnose what is actually in the wall before recommending work, and camera the drain side rather than guessing.
