Plumber in Laurel, MD
Old Laurel's mill-era housing and the newer communities along Route 198 and Contee Road are effectively different service categories.
We work both sides of the Patuxent, in both Prince George's and Howard County sections of Laurel.
Lud's Plumbing serves Laurel, MD with 24/7 emergency plumbing, water heaters, drain cleaning, sewer line repair and repiping. Laurel spans historic mill-town housing near Main Street and large 1980s–2000s apartment and townhome communities, and the two need very different plumbing approaches.

What Laurel'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.
Pre-1940 mill-town housing near Main Street
Galvanized supply, cast-iron waste and clay laterals, often with tight crawl spaces and additions built over original runs.
1970s–1990s townhomes and garden apartments
Polybutylene or early CPVC supply, shared stacks, and water heaters in closets with minimal clearance. Backups often involve more than one unit.
2000s+ single-family and infill
PEX and PVC. Typical calls are fixtures, angle stops, pressure regulation and sump systems on lower-lying lots near the Patuxent.

Laurel plumbing questions
Do you serve both the Prince George's and Howard County sides of Laurel?
Yes. We cover 20707, 20708, 20723 and 20724, including Old Laurel, North Laurel, South Laurel and the Route 198 corridor.
My apartment or townhome keeps flooding from a neighbor's unit. Can you help?
We can diagnose where the water is actually coming from and document it, which is usually what a management company needs before authorizing a repair. If the failure is in a shared stack, that changes who is responsible.
Are basement backups common in Laurel?
Near the Patuxent floodplain, yes, especially during heavy rain when groundwater and storm load rise together. A working sump with a backup power source is the practical defense.
