Edgemere, Baltimore County
Sump pumps, drains, sewer laterals and water heaters for homes on the North Point peninsula, from the shoreline streets to the inland blocks off North Point Road.
Plumbing on the peninsula
Edgemere sits on the North Point peninsula in southeastern Baltimore County, near North Point State Park and the shorelines of the Patapsco River and Back River. Many lots are low and close to the water, so groundwater and storm runoff are part of everyday life for a basement or crawl space.
That puts steady pressure on sump pumps, check valves and discharge lines, and on the sewer lateral that carries everything out to the street. After a heavy rain, the calls we get here are usually about a pump that could not keep up or a floor drain that started to back up.
We replace pumps and check valves, repair or replace damaged drain lines, and run a camera to find problems under slabs and yards before anything is dug up. We also install water heaters, replace fixtures and handle gas line work for Edgemere homes.
Services in Edgemere
These are the jobs that come up again and again on the peninsula. Anything else on our list is available here too.
Water & gas
Low lots near Back River and the Patapsco need a pump that starts on time and a discharge line that carries water well away from the house.
See the service
Drains & sewer
A camera run shows whether a slow line is a simple clog or a cracked lateral under the yard, before anyone picks up a shovel.

Drains & sewer
Wet ground and older pipe can shift and crack a sewer lateral. We repair the damaged section or replace the line when that makes more sense.

Floor drains and basement lines that back up after storms get cleared at the source, with advice on keeping them flowing.

Repair or replacement for water heaters in basements and utility rooms, sized for how your household actually uses hot water.

Damp walls and rising water bills are tracked down with leak detection, so we open only what we need to reach the leak.

Common local problems
A pump that is undersized, worn or missing a working check valve can run nonstop in a storm and still lose the battle. Replacing the pump and valve together usually fixes it.
When the ground is saturated, a lateral with cracks or root entry lets water in and slows everything down. Floor drains are often the first place you notice it.
A sump discharge that ends next to the foundation sends the same water right back to the pit. We reroute it so water drains away from the house.
Damp basements are hard on shutoff valves, supply lines and water heater fittings. We replace the parts that are weeping before they fail.

Local questions
Have a question about a job in Edgemere? Call (443) 630-9804 and talk to a licensed plumber.
Yes. We serve the whole North Point peninsula, including Millers Island, Fort Howard and the streets off North Point Road. Call with your address and a short description of the problem, and we will tell you when we can get there and what the visit will involve.
Not always. Constant running can mean a high water table, a stuck float, a failed check valve letting water fall back into the pit, or a pump that is too small. We test the pump, valve and float, check the discharge line, and then tell you whether a repair or a replacement makes more sense.
Yes. We run a camera through the line from a cleanout or another access point and look for cracks, offsets, roots and sags. You can watch the footage with us. If a repair is needed, the camera also shows us exactly where to dig, which keeps the opening as small as possible.
We do. Our license covers gas fitting, so we can run a new line for a range, dryer or water heater, extend or relocate an existing line, and repair leaks. Every gas job is pressure tested before we leave. If you smell gas, leave the house first and call your gas utility or 911.
