Top Rated Plumbers in Columbia, Maryland
Righttime Plumbing and Drain
9250 Limestone Pl, College Park, MD 20740, USA
(240) 620-7413We bought an older home with slow running drains that sometimes back up in the basement and fresh water supply lines built before the city increased water pressure in the neighborhood. In one day, Rema snaked the main line of our drains out over 100 ft to city service and installed a pressure reduction valve on our incoming water supply to bring everyone up to date. Finally, we don't have to worry about old plumbing. Thank you, Rema!
6 months agoStellar service. Quick response, excellent and knowledgeable professional. Rema snaked a clogged pipe on the main line and quickly resolved the problem. Highly recommend and will definitely be using his services when needed.
4 months agoAbsolutely outstanding service! I called needing help with my water heater and he came out the same day. Pricing was very fair and transparent, no surprises at all. He fixed my water heater quickly and professionally, but what really stood out was how he went above and beyond to make sure everything was working perfectly before leaving. Knowledgeable, respectful, and efficient. It’s hard to find service like this anymore. I will definitely be using Rema again and highly recommend him to anyone needing a reliable plumber.
3 months agoHosanna Plumbing & Drain LLC
510 Lafayette Ave, Catonsville, MD 21228, USA
(410) 824-1864I had a great experience with Hosanna Plumbing & Drain LLC. Tony fixed a leaking bathtub pipe that was causing major damage in my home, with water leaking through the wall. He quickly identified the issue as a damaged copper pipe and fixed it efficiently. I was very impressed with his knowledge, professionalism, and how quickly he solved the problem. Tony was respectful, took great care of my property, and clearly cares about his work and delivering quality results. I highly recommend him and the business.
4 months agoExcellent service and price. Tony will be my first choice for any future plumbing jobs. He and his partner came out the same day to snake out two backed up drains. Tony was friendly, effecient, and very respectful of my home. He discussed the problem, how long the repair would take, and the pricing upfront. Then they got the job done quickly and left the sinks in better condition than they found them. He has a one-month warranty on the cleaned out drains.
5 months agoTony did a great job replacing our old faucets along with repairing the lines and installing new shut-off valves. In the past we always worried about leaks using the old ones and they were also incredibly dated, but not anymore! He was friendly and professional, arriving on time and immediately focusing on the repairs. Thanks Tony!
4 months agoBrian B. Quick Plumbing
10739 Tucker St Suite 100-B, Beltsville, MD 20705, USA
(240) 414-4687I ordered a new washer and dryer but couldn’t have them installed because the existing shut-off valves were corroded. Pierre came out to assess the situation and provided several options with clear pricing. He arrived on time, was professional, and extremely knowledgeable. He took the time to explain everything in detail—what he was doing, the updated plumbing codes, why larger commercial companies often charge much more, and why emergency services are usually scheduled on weekends. By the time he left, I felt completely confident in the work and the service provided. Pierre installed new shut-off valves so the water to the entire home no longer needs to be turned off, and he properly secured the drainage pipe to the wall, including fixing issues hidden behind the drywall that hadn’t been secured by the previous homeowner. He was also able to install both my washer and dryer, and they are running perfectly. He even followed up the next day to make sure everything was working smoothly. Sorry it took me so long to write this review—but the service was absolutely worth it.
4 months agoI had a great experience with Dion from Brian B Quick Plumbing. His communication was excellent—he gave a 40-minute heads-up before arriving and provided clear, regular text updates throughout the job since I wasn’t onsite. He quickly diagnosed an issue with the garbage disposal, clearly walked me through my options, and was very honest—after unjamming it, he did not push an unnecessary drain cleaning. He even sent a video confirming everything was fixed. Dion also investigated a suspected leak affecting the unit below, coordinated thoughtfully with all parties, and once he confirmed the issue was isolated to the lower unit, he promptly sourced materials and completed the repair. Professional, transparent, and thorough. I highly recommend Brian B Quick Plumbing—and especially Dion.
4 months agoThis company was great. My tech Patrick came in and knocked it out in less than 30 minutes. Professional, polite, and knowledgeable. It’s hard to find qualified, trustworthy, experienced people. I’m grateful and thankful for the help. My drain was blocked and now it works! I also appreciate not being taken advantage of as a female! Thank you. I highly recommend this company and technician.
3 months agoCatons Plumbing, Drains & Water Cleanup
817 Silver Spring Ave Ste 110C, Silver Spring, MD 20910, USA
(301) 498-8018I had a clog toilet for two days after searching for people to help everyone told me that my toilet may have to be removed. I went on the website to get another opinion because prices are to high. I called Catons plumbing and they sent someone out the same day. Demetric the service technician came within two hours of my phone call. He was very knowledgeable , respectful and able to fix the clog without having to remove the whole toilet. He accomplished the job in no time. I defiantly recommend this business….. exceptional job. Five stars for Demtric the technician ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
5 months agoWe had an emergency pipe clog on Xmas night… total nightmare…. and Catons was the only company that was available (we called about 6 other places). They promised to be there within an hour and sure enough they were. Our plumber Henry Helwig provided amazing service as he methodically worked through the issue over about 3-4 hours. He was clear about the process, pivoted when necessary to be more efficient, and communicated everything well. He was also extremely clean and courteous while working in the house. I would definitely hire them again
4 months agoI'm beyond pleased. The professionalism, expertise, and "bedside manor" of Jason was amazing. His trainee, Richard, was nice as well. They came on Thanksgiving day, and the value was better than I prepared myself for. They fixed my issue perfectly. I'm so glad that I chose Caton's and I will always use and recommend them from this day forward!
5 months agoPriority Plumbing & Drain
1113 Odenton Rd Suite 2E, Odenton, MD 21113, USA
(410) 999-8332Priority Plumbing has been fantastic! I had a crisis with my primary drainage line, and called Priority on a whim. They definitely didn't disappoint. They showed up within a couple hours to help, and quickly identified the root cause of my issues. Josh, Nick, Zach, and DJ were the main guys helping me out. They were extremely polite and helpful, and took great care when working inside the house.
1 year agoFantastic experience with Priority Plumbing in fixing a couple leaks from my HVAC drain line. Tim showed up early, assessed the issue, kindly checked the house for any other plumbing problems, and provided a fair quote up front. He finished the work much more quickly than I expected compared to some other plumbers, and everything is working well now! I appreciated this whole experience - from scheduling, text reminders, to service appt, and especially how Tim was open to answering questions about some potential future plumbing work, in addition to his quality workmanship. Thank you!
1 year agoI recently had DJ and Nick install a dry well for my sump pump drain, and I couldn’t be happier with their service. From the start, they were professional, punctual, and very knowledgeable about the installation process. They took the time to explain the entire project, ensuring I understood each step. Their workmanship was top-notch; the installation was completed efficiently and with great attention to detail. They also took care to clean up the work area, leaving it tidy when they finished. Overall, DJ and Nick are a great team who deliver quality. I highly recommend them for any plumbing needs!
1 year agoMetcalf Plumbing Service, LLC
10 Winters Ln B, Catonsville, MD 21228, USA
(410) 242-3111Not sure how to post another review so I'll add to this one. Mike came out again to install some pipes for a kitchen sink... During the time the glue was drying, instead of taking a break, he taught me how to replace a valve on a toilet that was constantly running. He is extremely knowledge, patient and generous. Thank you! My radiator pipe was rusted and leaking. The valve, rusted pipe, and elbow had to be cut out and replaced after draining the system. Mike was very professional and conscientious. Thanks to Mike and Metcalf.
4 months agoMetcalf Plumbing Service did an excellent job installing our new steam boiler furnace. We have utilized their services several times now and they have always provided timely, professional service. We have been very happy with the quality results and will call on them again. It is important to us that we use a truly local small business for our plumbing needs. Many of the seemingly local plumbers have been bought out by large corporations and even big equity firms. Metcalf Plumbing Service is a true local business providing quality service.
3 months agoA live and pleasant receptionist took my service call. Service was same day, and our tech Charles was terrific. I'm an engineer and could tell he knew his stuff. He worked to fix the issue and not unnecessary repairs. Before Metcalf I spoke or tried to speak with 2 other companies that did not go well. Metcalf is now our first call. Give them a shot at your business.
3 months agoAll Clear Plumbing & Drain Service, LLC
154 Lafayette Ave unit i, Laurel, MD 20707, USA

3 months agoAlan and Cody did an outstanding job at replacing my decades old leaky water heater and bringing the system up to code. They were polite, professional, a pleasure to talk to and they brought some humor to an otherwise costly event. I will use All Clear again.
7 months agoAmazing Service! Allen Provides Great Knowledge on Water and Plumbing Services!! Allen and Cody are very welcoming and approachable as they are ready to answer any of your questions. They move FAST!!! Allen and Cody were Punctual and the installation was quick. I had my water heater replaced and I am very pleased with the end result. Allen came to do my initial estimate and inspect the previous water heater. He was very straight forward with pricing and informing me of everything that needed to be done. I didn’t get work done right away, but All Clear Plumbing didn't continuously harass me or pressure me into going forward with their services, which is something I truly appreciate as so many companies do that!!!! My husband and I waited a while because it’s a large purchase, but when we were ready Allen had such a memorable first impression I knew we HAD to go with him!! Thank you both, Allen & Cody for providing such amazing service! I Definitely recommend their services and I will be using them again when it comes time to service my water heater in the future.
6 months agoDrain Works Plumbing and Heating, LLC
3036 Shoreline Blvd, Laurel, MD 20724, USA
(301) 437-1939It was so easy to book with Drain Works online, they texted me right away with details and updates. They made communication very easy, and were super responsive. Jorge came out to replace a disposal, he was so honest with me that I actually needed a cheaper fix than what I had requested! He manually got my disposal started within minutes of seeing the issue (without charging me for that more expensive service). It is so great to have a plumber you can depend on and trust! He texted with me, without any delay, to make sure I got the correct part needed and came back as soon as I told him I had a free day to be home. I really appreciate Jorge coming out in the frigid winter snowstorm to solve my problem (and saving me money)! Will absolutely call Jorge at Drain Works again!
3 months agoSimilar to the poster below me, I discovered that my water heater was 19 years old. after doing some research, and although it hadn’t leaked - I didn’t want to come home one day to a disaster in my basement. I reached out to Jorge after a few emails and he was very accommodating, able to change my request for an estimate last min, and then finding time to squeeze me in before a potential blizzard. All of this happened from the Friday of us meeting, and the replacement installed the following Wednesday). He and Rubin replaced my water heater and my main water shut off valve which I believe was original to my home. He was very communicative, nice and they the entire appointment ran smoothly. I would highly recommend Jorge and his team!
3 months agoMy old water heater was biblical (22 years old). Jorge came out and offered me three options for replacement: gas, hybrid tankless, or hybrid 50 gallon of water tank. We went over the cost differentials together and the pros and cons. He was patient and made it accessible for a homeowner to understand. Highly professional, honest pricing, communicative, and great work. Highly recommend and have already recommended him to family and friends.
5 months agoPUZO Plumbing & Drain LLC
601 Olesmont Rd, Catonsville, MD 21228, USA
(443) 469-1802Puzo plumbing came right away when I needed help for a backed up kitchen sink. Mr. Lan was efficient, professional, and even noticed I had an outdated, leaky faucet and replaced that!!! I am more than satisfied with the work. I am extremely thankful for the prompt response. Before and after pics below
1 year agoI have used Puzo twice and they have been exceptional and professional. Mr. Mung fixed my home’s leaking issue in the evening without hesitation and left me as the homeowner with a sense of peace. Recently I had a water heater expansion issue and and he fixed it within an hour and even had time to fix my garage disposal. I would definitely recommend Puzo Plumbing!!!
5 months agoGreat plumber. Instead of first requiring a visit (and mandatory service charge) to provide an estimate, Mr Lan requested that I text some pictures and provided an estimate over text. He was then able to schedule me quickly, did very good work, and was even able to charge a bit less than the estimate on the final bill. Would highly recommend.
7 months agoPlumbing Mastered
10015 Old Columbia Rd Suite B 215, Columbia, MD 21046, USA
(301) 969-3843Plumbing Mastered is awesome!! Don was great, knowledgeable, and professional!! I love that he took the time to explain everything to me in detail and show me while explaining. It’s very hard to trust some companies nowadays, but I definitely appreciate the honesty and transparency!! I have definitely locked them in and I would recommend 1,000 times over!!
2 months agoDon, the owner of Plumbing Mastered, did an excellent job replacing our on-demand water heater. He was professional, punctual, and very knowledgeable.

3 months agoProfessional Drain Cleaning in Columbia, Maryland
Columbia is a unique community known for its beautifully planned villages and lush greenery, but those same trees and aging infrastructure in neighborhoods like Wilde Lake and Oakland Mills can lead to significant drainage headaches. Finding a plumber who isn't already booked solid for the week shouldn't be your second full-time job. Our service bridges the gap between Columbia homeowners and the professional drain specialists who are actually ready to work.
Instead of you calling down a list of 15 different contractors, we leverage our local network to find the right fit for your Howard County home. We filter our database by your exact zip code—whether you're near Lake Kittamaqundi or out by the Mall in Columbia—and we personally verify that the technician can solve your drain issue today. It’s a faster, more reliable way to get your pipes flowing again without the frustration of endless voicemails.
Common Drain Issues in Columbia, Maryland
Mature Tree Root Intrusion: Columbia’s famous 'People Tree' spirit extends to its literal trees. In older villages like Harper’s Choice and Long Reach, massive root systems frequently find their way into clay or cast iron sewer lines, causing slow drains and recurring backups that require professional snaking or hydro-jetting.
Aging Pipes in Original Villages: Many homes in Columbia’s earliest developed areas are now over 50 years old. Over time, original piping can deteriorate or accumulate scale, leading to frequent clogs that simple DIY chemicals won't fix. These systems often need a professional touch to clear decades of buildup without damaging the integrity of the pipes.
Hard Water Mineral Buildup: Residents in Howard County often deal with mineral-rich water that can lead to calcium and magnesium scale inside your plumbing. Over time, this restricts water flow in bathroom and kitchen drains, making them more susceptible to catching hair and grease, eventually leading to a total blockage.
Kitchen Sink Grease Clogs: With a high concentration of busy families in the Columbia area, kitchen drains take a beating. From Wilde Lake to Kings Contrivance, we see many homes where cooking fats and food scraps have solidified in the pipes, requiring heavy-duty equipment to clear the line all the way to the main stack.
Seasonal Drain Maintenance Tips for Columbia, Maryland
Autumn Leaf Maintenance: With Columbia’s dense canopy, fall leaves can easily clog outdoor area drains and gutter downspouts. Clear these early to prevent basement flooding during Maryland's heavy autumn rainstorms.
Winter Pipe Insulation: During the Maryland 'deep freeze' months, ensure your basement and crawl space drains are in areas with some warmth. A frozen drain line can cause an immediate backup when you run your washing machine or dishwasher.
Spring Sump Pump Checks: Spring in Columbia often brings heavy rains. Ensure your sump pump’s discharge line is clear of debris so it can properly drain groundwater away from your foundation and prevent a backup into your floor drains.
Summer Disposal Care: With summer BBQs and graduations, your garbage disposal works overtime. Avoid putting fibrous vegetables like corn husks or celery down the drain, as these are the primary culprits for summer clogs in Howard County kitchens.
Average Drain Cleaning Costs in Columbia, Maryland
Prices in Columbia generally range based on the severity of the clog. A simple sink or toilet snake starts around $185, while main line clearing or hydro-jetting for heavy root intrusion can reach $575 or more depending on equipment needs.
