Drain Cleaning

A stubborn shower drain or a backed-up kitchen sink usually doesn’t need anything dramatic. We clear it and confirm the line is actually running before we leave.

What to expect

Two-hour arrival window
Standard price quoted before we start, no hidden charges
Camera inspection included where there’s exterior clean-out access

Schedule Your Service →

Covers one accessible drain line with existing clean-out access. Additional lines, excavation, or hydro-jetting quoted separately.

Water Heater Tune-Up

Sediment buildup makes a water heater work harder and die sooner. An annual flush keeps it running efficiently and catches corrosion while it’s still inexpensive to deal with.

What to expect

Full tank drain and sediment flush
Anode rod and thermostat inspection
A straight answer on how much life it has left

Schedule Your Service →

Covers one standard tank water heater. Tankless units and parts replacement quoted separately.

Plumbing FAQs.

QHow do I know if I need a professional plumbing service?

If a problem keeps coming back, it’s time. Recurring leaks, slow or clogged drains, dropping water pressure, water bills that creep up, or a water heater that runs out fast all point to something a quick fix won’t solve. We find the cause, explain it plainly, and recommend the right repair, not the most expensive one.

QWill I receive an estimate before work begins?

Yes, every time. We look at the problem, walk you through your options, and give you a clear, honest estimate in writing before any work starts. If something changes once we open things up, we stop and talk to you first.

QDo you provide services for both residential and commercial properties?

Yes. We handle single-family homes, rental properties, and commercial spaces across Maryland and Virginia, from a single leaking faucet to repiping a whole building. Property managers get one point of contact for every unit.

QDo you offer emergency plumbing services?

We move urgent problems like burst pipes and major leaks to the front of the schedule, and Tatum’s Home Club members get priority. For anything urgent, call us directly at (223) 2-TATUMS rather than using the form so we can get to you faster.

QShould I repair or replace my water heater?

It depends on age and condition. A unit under ten years old with a single failed part is usually worth repairing. One that is older, leaking from the tank itself, or needing repeated repairs is usually better replaced. We look at yours, explain both options, and give you a clear, honest estimate for each before anything starts.

QWhy does my drain keep clogging after I clear it?

A clog that keeps coming back usually means the blockage was pushed further down rather than removed, or the pipe itself has a problem such as a bellied section, root intrusion, or buildup along the walls. We clear the line properly and, where there is clean-out access, run a camera to find the real cause so you are not calling us every few months.
