Curtis Bay sits on the Baltimore City side of our service area, so its homes receive Baltimore's treated surface water from the Loch Raven and Prettyboy reservoir system, and that water is very hard, among the hardest municipal supply in Maryland at roughly 185 milligrams per liter. Combined with older cast-iron distribution mains that can leave water discolored, that means softeners, carbon filtration for scale and chlorine taste, and whole-house sediment filtration are among the most valuable upgrades a Curtis Bay homeowner can make, protecting water heaters, fixtures, and appliances.

As one of Baltimore's older neighborhoods, Curtis Bay has a housing stock rich in character but often carrying aging galvanized, cast-iron, and lead-era pipe and water service lines, making repiping and line replacement common and worthwhile. Nearly every home has a full basement, where sump pumps, backups, and drainage guard against the Patapsco waterfront's high water table, spring rains, and coastal storms; mid-Atlantic winters bring hard freezes that threaten exposed pipes; many older homes heat with boilers we install and service; and mature trees send roots into aging sewer laterals.

Seasonal Plumbing in Curtis Bay

Curtis Bay plumbing follows the mid-Atlantic calendar. Flush the water heater yearly to clear the scale hard Baltimore water leaves behind; test the sump pump ahead of spring rains and coastal storms given the waterfront water table; before winter, insulate exposed pipes in basements and disconnect hoses; and have older sewer laterals and boilers checked before the cold sets in.

Brennie Brackett

Made appointment to pinpoint leak in shower head. Turned out it was the valve which needed replacing. Hugo was great. Ordered it and returned the following day to install. He also shared information about flushing out our tankless water heaters and addressing excessive pressure coming into the house. We are checking with the builder before we schedule those additional jobs to see if there is any warranty on our home.

Mark Katzman

Hugo came on time. Fixed problem.

Donna

Angi recommended Benjamin Franklin Plumbing with a 5-star rating. Repairman, Wilson did a great job. We had a leak in a waterline in the front yard. Excellent service. He was professional, knowledgeable, and worked in a timely manner. Afterwards, he cleaned up the work site and did a safety inspection. I would definitely recommend this company and Wilson 😃

Rich Dunham

★★★★★ Exceptional service from Ethan and Benjamin Franklin Plumbing in Lisbon! I called just before closing and they had someone out to my home first thing the next morning. Ethan was fantastic - very polite, professional, and efficient. Pricing was very upfront before any service was provided, so there were no surprises. The job was completed within an hour! Exceptional customer service from start to finish - I also spoke to the office manager and everybody was very polite. It’s GREAT to have and know this company is serving the North Country! Thank you! Highly recommend!

Jim O'Callaghan

We were very blessed to have such an expert as Mike come to our house to troubleshoot our hot water heater. The man is a consummate professional, has decades of experience, knew exactly what he was doing, did what he needed to do, and we couldn't be more pleased to have had this absolute expert come to evaluate our water heater. As soon as we met him, we knew we were in good hands. He'll be back in 2 days to replace the hot water heater. Thank you so much!

William Rosshirt

Great! Andrew was friendly and knowledgeable. Came out an hour after I called and got my water line fixed up. He also let me know how to protect it from future problems. I'm a happy customer

Justin Faulkner

Great communication when trying to schedule and when in route. Answered my questions and explained options before starting. Completed the work, verified it was fixed and cleaned the area when he was done. (Kitchen sink clog - more than 25’ from the sink)

William Whitehouse

Justin did a great job unclogging my kitchen sink. I tried to do it myself and evidently it went up the vent at the T instead of going down into the clog. Hopefully it will not clogged again but if it does and I can't get it I will be calling again. This is the 2nd time I've used Ben Franklin Plumbing and am happy the the fast response and courtesy of the plumbers. I recommend Ben Franklin Plumbing to anyone I know needing a plumber.

N Peterson

Chris is very upbeat and personable. He showed up on time and was very knowledgeable and got everything done the same day that we needed repaired and replaced. I’m very pleased with his work and would highly recommend Chris for any future plumbing projects.

Jorge Hernandez

Jordan is amazing! He went out of his way to get the job done. Professional top-notch the best I’ve seen in a long time I would recommend and make sure you ask for Jordan.M

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Curtis Bay's water so hard?

Curtis Bay receives Baltimore City reservoir water, which is very hard, around 185 mg/L, some of the hardest municipal water in Maryland. A softener plus carbon and sediment filtration protects your plumbing and improves taste; we test and advise.

Should I repipe my older Curtis Bay home?

If it has corroding galvanized or cast-iron pipe or a lead-era service line, repiping and line replacement are lasting fixes that restore pressure and water quality. We inspect and recommend honestly.

How do I keep my basement from flooding?

A properly sized sump pump with battery backup and good drainage guards against the Patapsco waterfront's high water table and storms. We install, upgrade, and maintain complete systems.
