When you call

This page connects you through a referral line with an independent plumber who covers Brandywine; it is not a plumbing company. Explain which faucet is acting up and what it does, and say whether your home is on public water or a private well. If the faucet is still under the manufacturer's warranty, have the brand and model handy, since many makers send replacement cartridges free and the plumber can install them.

What sets the cost

Warranty parts. A factory replacement cartridge can lower the parts cost on a newer faucet.
Type of fix. A cartridge, O-ring or hose swap is shorter work than replacing the faucet.
Sediment. On a well, grit may need to be flushed from the faucet and supply lines.
Accessories. Soap dispensers, filter faucets and touchless controls add steps.
Travel and access. Rural properties and outbuilding faucets can take longer to reach.

Brandywine conditions

Brandywine is a rural-tier community in southern Prince George's County with a suburban and commercial center along US 301 and MD 5 that grew rapidly after 2000. Much of its housing is very recent, with a smaller pocket of homes from the 1950s and 1960s. The 20613 ZIP code covers more ground than the community itself and reaches into Charles County.

Water depends on where you are. Prince George's County's water and sewer plan says WSSC supplies the county from the Potomac and Patuxent rivers and that rural areas are served by individual wells. In WSSC areas, the water is disinfected with chlorine, treated with ultraviolet light and dosed with orthophosphate to reduce corrosion in household plumbing. On a private well, the plumbing inside works the same way, but sediment or minerals from the well can wear cartridges and clog aerators sooner. If your address is in the Charles County part of the ZIP, check your bill for the supplier.

Plumbing permits in the county, including those for gas appliances, come from WSSC Water. For WSSC-area emergencies, call 301-206-4002.

Faucet Repair questions in Brandywine

My home has its own well. Does that change faucet repair?

The repair is similar, but grit and minerals from a well can wear cartridges and clog aerators faster. Rural parts of Brandywine use individual wells, so tell the plumber your water source when you call.

Can a pull-down or touchless kitchen faucet be repaired?

Usually. In newer Brandywine homes, pull-down hoses, spray heads and touchless sensors are often sold separately or covered by the maker's warranty, so the failed piece can be replaced.

Can I buy the faucet myself and have a plumber install it?

Yes. Most plumbers will install a faucet you supply, and they can also install warranty parts the manufacturer sends you.

Why does my faucet keep dripping after I shut it off?

On newer single-lever faucets the cartridge or its seals are the usual cause. Replacing the cartridge typically stops the drip.
