Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?
Yes. Fluid Plumbing & Heating is fully licensed (Lic: 73317), bonded, and insured in Maryland. Every plumbing contractor and heating contractor on our team is trained to meet local code requirements, so your project is completed safely and to the highest standard.
Do you repair and install water heaters?
Absolutely. We provide water heater repair, water heater installation, and water heater replacement for standard tank units, tankless water heaters, and combi units (combined boiler and tankless systems). Our technicians help you choose the right size and efficiency rating for your household.
Should I repair or replace my water heater?
If your unit is over 10 years old, leaking from the tank, or producing rusty water, replacement is usually the smarter long-term investment. For newer units with minor issues like a faulty element or thermostat, a water heater repair is often the right call. We give honest recommendations during every visit.
What causes recurring clogged drains?
Recurring clogs often point to a deeper problem like grease buildup, tree root intrusion, or a damaged sewer line. Our drain cleaning and sewer cleaning services use professional equipment to clear blockages and identify the root cause, so you stop dealing with the same backup over and over.
Do you offer tankless water heater installation?
Yes. Tankless water heater installation is one of our specialties. Tankless units deliver hot water on demand, save space, and lower long-term utility costs. We size every system to match your home's flow demand and walk you through the operating differences before installation.
What heating services do you provide?
Our heating services include heating repair, heating installation, boiler repair, and hot water heating systems. We work on hydronic boilers, steam boilers, and combi boiler installation. If your system is short cycling, leaking, or not producing enough heat, our heating contractor team can diagnose and fix the issue.
Do you handle gas line repair and installation?
Yes. Our plumbing and gas services cover gas line repair, gas line installation for new appliances, leak detection, and code-compliant connections for stoves, dryers, water heaters, and outdoor grills. Gas work is performed only by licensed technicians for your safety.
Can you replace a main sewer line?
Yes. Sewer main repair and sewer line repair are core parts of our water and sewer systems services. We assess the line, explain your options (spot repair versus full replacement), and complete the work efficiently to restore proper flow to your home.
