Call or Text Mike — (202) 555-0147Plumbing Services in Capitol Hill, DC
I've been working in Capitol Hill for six years. I know these streets, I know these houses, and I know what's behind the walls. That matters more than you might think when you're dealing with a plumbing problem in a 100-year-old rowhouse.
Capitol Hill homes are beautiful, but they come with original cast iron stacks, basement drain configurations that weren't designed with modern bathrooms in mind, and shared walls that make every job require a little more care. I've worked through all of it.
I'm licensed in DC, bonded, and insured. I've done over a thousand jobs in this area. When you call, I pick up.

Bathroom Remodeling in Capitol Hill Rowhouses
Remodeling a bathroom in a Capitol Hill rowhouse isn't the same as remodeling a bathroom in a newer detached home. The stacks are often original cast iron. The drain lines run through tight basement spaces. And shared walls mean you have to know what you're cutting into before you cut.
I handle the full plumbing scope: rough-in, drain relocation, supply lines, shower and tub installation, toilet replacement, and fixture hookups. For tile and finish work, I work with Capitol Tile Designs. We've done enough jobs together that the handoff is clean and the timeline stays on track.
Before any work starts, I'll walk you through exactly what's included, what it costs, and how long it takes. No surprises on the invoice. No scope creep you didn't agree to.
Water Heater Repair on Capitol Hill
No hot water is one of those problems that can't wait. If your water heater is failing, I can usually get out the same day. I work on gas, electric, and tankless water heaters, and I'll tell you straight whether it needs a repair or a full replacement.
Repair or Replace?
A lot of plumbers default to replacement because it's a bigger job. I don't work that way. If a repair will fix the problem and the unit has years of life left, I'll tell you that. If it's time to replace it, I'll explain why and give you options that fit your space and budget.
Tankless and Standard Units
I install and repair both tankless and traditional water heaters. Tankless units are a good fit for a lot of Capitol Hill rowhouses where basement space is tight. I'll help you figure out what makes sense for your setup.
Emergency Calls
I answer the phone from 7am to 9pm, seven days a week. If you've got a burst pipe or a water heater that quit overnight, call or text me and we'll figure out the fastest path to getting it fixed.
Other Common Issues in Capitol Hill Homes
Aging cast iron drain lines, slow drains, and sewer backups come up constantly in this neighborhood. I use a sewer camera to show you exactly what's going on before recommending any repair. You see what I see.
Why Capitol Hill Homeowners Call Mike
There's no shortage of plumbers serving DC. Most of the big companies send whoever's available, charge a dispatch fee, and hand you a menu of upsells before they've even looked at the problem. That's not how I work.
When you call my number, I answer. When I schedule the job, I'm the one who shows up. I've been doing this for six years in this city, and my reputation is built one job at a time.
