Plumbing in Hyattsville, MD
Local notes on your water utility, common problems and rebates, plus what we can help with.
Hyattsville is in Prince George's County, just outside the DC line, and WSSC Water provides water and sewer service. Many homes are older, which is where the questions about original pipes come up: what the water line is made of, how old the sewer line is, and whether the shutoff valves still work.
We serve Hyattsville homeowners with drains and sewer lines, water service lines, water heaters, fixtures and gas lines.
What to know in Hyattsville
- Older pipes
- In an older house, check the water service line material at the meter or where it enters the house. WSSC's pipe-type map is the first stop.
- Tree roots in old sewer lines
- Large trees in older neighborhoods are a common cause of main drain clogs that keep coming back.
- Main breaks and street sewer overflows
- WSSC takes water main and sewer emergencies at 301-206-4002. Use that number for a break in the street or a sewer overflow outside, and call a plumber for pipes inside your house.
