Randallstown Plumber

Bruce Solomon Plumbing, Heating & Air has been fixing pipes in Randallstown homes since 1984, and the Solomon family still runs it. We work out of Reisterstown, at 12452 Owings Mills Boulevard, so we are straight down Owings Mills Boulevard from Liberty Road. If you need a Randallstown plumber who actually knows the houses here, that short drive is a big part of why we get to you quickly.

We are not a call center that farms out jobs. Bruce Solomon holds Maryland Master Plumber License #6867, and fellow plumbers still phone him when a job has them stumped. That same know-how goes into every service call we run in 21133.

What to expect from our crew

• Every plumber we send has put in ten-plus years on real jobs.
• Arrival windows mean something here, and shoe covers and floor runners go down before any tools come in.
• Our vans carry so many parts that we call them a warehouse on wheels, so a repair rarely needs a second trip.
• The work area gets swept and wiped before we pack up.
• Once we start your job, we stay on it until it is finished, with no leaving midway for a bigger project.

Plumbing Services Randallstown MD Homeowners Call Us For

Most calls fall into a handful of categories. Here is a quick rundown of each, with a link if you want the full picture.

Clogged and slow drains

Kitchen sinks, tubs, showers, and basement floor drains all clog eventually. We clear them with the right tool for the job, and if a line keeps coming back, we put a camera in to see why. Our page on clearing clogged drains in Randallstown goes into snaking, jetting, and what not to pour down the sink.

Sewer line trouble

A lot of homes off Liberty Road still have their original clay or cast iron sewer laterals, and mature trees love to send roots into them. When several fixtures back up at once, the problem is usually past the house drains. Learn more about sewer line repair and camera inspections for 21133 homes.

Leaks you can see, and leaks you can’t

A dripping supply line under a sink is easy to spot. A pinhole in a copper line inside a wall is not. We use practical detection methods to pinpoint hidden leaks before opening anything up, which you can read about on our pipe leak detection and repair page.

Water heaters

No hot water on a Tuesday morning gets everyone’s attention. We repair and replace tank, tankless, gas, and electric units, and we size them for the way your household actually uses water. See our Randallstown water heater service for the details.

Toilets

Running toilets, wobbly bases, weak flushes, and full replacements are everyday work for us. Older hall baths in 1960s and 1970s homes often still have their first toilets, and an upgrade can make a real difference. More on toilet repair and installation.

Well pumps and sump pumps

Public water and county sewer serve the bulk of 21133, yet plenty of properties out toward Granite and the Liberty Reservoir area rely on private wells. We handle well pump repair and replacement for those homes. And for the many finished basements in town, a working sump pump matters every storm season, so we also offer sump pump installation and backup systems.

Why Randallstown Houses Need a Plumber Who Knows Every Era

Randallstown grew in waves. The oldest neighborhoods near Liberty Road went up in the 1950s and 1960s. Split-levels and bi-levels filled in through the 1970s. Developments like the Village of Deer Park came along in the late 1990s, and some newer construction followed after 2000.

Each era has its own plumbing habits, and knowing them saves you time on a service call.

1950s and 1960s homes

Expect galvanized steel supply lines in some houses, cast iron drains, and clay sewer laterals. Galvanized pipe corrodes from the inside, so water pressure slowly drops over the years. Cast iron can crack or scale up. These homes reward a plumber who checks the whole picture instead of patching one spot.

1970s and 1980s homes

Copper supply lines are common here, along with PVC or ABS drains in some spots. Copper holds up well, but pinhole leaks show up after decades, especially where water chemistry is harsh. Split-levels also tend to run pipes through exterior walls and over garages, which can freeze during a hard cold snap.

1990s and newer homes

Plastic supply lines (CPVC or PEX) and PVC drains are typical. The first water heaters, sump pumps, and fixtures in these homes are now well past middle age, and many owners are replacing them for the first time.
