Plumber in Hyattsville, MD
Hyattsville has some of the oldest continuously occupied housing inside the Beltway, and its plumbing reflects a century of partial upgrades.
The newer Arts District and University Town Center buildings are a completely different job with shared stacks and tight mechanical spaces.
Lud's Plumbing serves Hyattsville, MD with 24/7 emergency plumbing, water heaters, drain cleaning, sewer line repair and repiping. Hyattsville's early-20th-century homes commonly still run galvanized supply and cast-iron drains, and the historic district's mature trees put constant pressure on clay sewer laterals.

What Hyattsville's housing stock means for your plumbing
Homes of different eras fail in genuinely different ways. Here is what we see most in this area.
1900s–1930s historic district homes
Galvanized supply, cast-iron waste stacks, clay laterals and knob-and-tube-era layouts where later plumbing was threaded through whatever space existed.
1940s–1960s homes and duplexes
Copper at pinhole age with cast-iron drains, plus water heaters squeezed into basements with venting patched across replacements.
2000s+ Arts District and mixed-use buildings
PEX and PVC in stacked units. Shared stacks, pressure regulation and closet-sized mechanical spaces define the work.

Hyattsville plumbing questions
Do you serve all Hyattsville ZIP codes?
Yes — 20781, 20782, 20783 and 20784, covering the historic district, West Hyattsville, the Arts District and the Adelphi and Chillum edges.
Should a 1920s Hyattsville house be repiped?
If the supply is still original galvanized, usually yes. Galvanized closes in on itself over decades, and once pressure has dropped noticeably, no single repair restores it. We show you the cut pipe so the decision is based on evidence.
Can you camera a sewer line before I buy a house here?
Yes, and in this part of the county it is money well spent. Clay laterals under century-old trees are the single most expensive surprise a buyer inherits.
