Plumbing in Towson

The county seat, built in the mid-1900s

Towson is the county seat of Baltimore County, with Towson University, the courthouse and Towson Town Center at its center. Established neighborhoods like Rodgers Forge, West Towson and Loch Raven Village surround it.

Many Towson homes are rowhouses and colonials from the mid-1900s. Those houses do well with a plumber who knows older drain lines, original shutoff valves and the tight basements they sit in.

We also handle plumbing for remodels, rental turnovers and offices. If you own or manage units near the university, we can keep them running with clear pricing and repairs scheduled around your tenants.

Common Towson problems

What Towson homes and rentals call about

Seized original shutoffs

Mid-century gate valves often stop working right when you need them. We replace main and fixture shutoffs so you or your tenants can stop a leak in seconds.

Turnover repairs in rentals

Between tenants, small problems pile up: slow drains, worn flappers, loose faucets. We work through the list in one visit so the unit is ready on time.

Cast iron drain wear

Original cast iron in rowhouses and colonials can crack or scale up inside. Slow drains and odors in the basement are common early signs.

Pre-purchase surprises

Buyers sometimes learn after closing that the sewer lateral is cracked or rooted. A camera inspection beforehand gives you facts to negotiate with.

Why Towson calls Empire

Reliable for owners and landlords

Towson has a lot of rental property, and landlords need a plumber who answers, shows up when promised and charges what was quoted. Homeowners want the same thing with a little extra care inside the house. We give both a clear price first and tidy, tested work.

Quotes you can plan around

You approve the price before work begins, which makes budgeting rentals and repairs much simpler.

Tenant-friendly visits

We coordinate access and keep the work area clean so tenants are not left with a mess.

Older home experience

Mid-century drains, valves and tight basements are routine for us, not a surprise.

Licensed on every job

Maryland master plumber and gas fitter license #77034 covers water, drain and gas work.

Local questions

Towson plumbing questions

Have a question about a job in Towson? Call (443) 630-9804 and talk to a licensed plumber.

Do you work with landlords and property managers near Towson University?

Yes. We handle repairs, turnovers and water heater replacements for rental owners around Towson. We can coordinate access with tenants and send the details of what was done after each visit, so you have a record for the property without needing to be there.

For homes from the mid-1900s, it is worth it. The lateral is out of sight and expensive to replace. A camera inspection shows roots, cracks or sags before you close, so you can plan the repair or bring it up with the seller.

In older homes the usual causes are corroded galvanized pipe, a partly closed or failing main valve, or mineral buildup in fixtures. We check pressure at the main and at the fixtures to narrow it down, then explain the options before any work starts.

All of them, including Rodgers Forge, West Towson, Loch Raven Village, Stoneleigh, Wiltondale and Idlewylde, plus the offices and shops around the courthouse and Towson Town Center. Call with your address and we will tell you when we can get there.
