I'm Mike. Georgetown is one of the neighborhoods I work in most, and I've been doing plumbing here long enough to know what these homes throw at you. I'm licensed in DC, bonded, and insured, and I've done over a thousand jobs in this area.
Georgetown's housing stock is mostly historic rowhouses, and a lot of them still have original cast iron drain lines, galvanized supply pipes, and pre-war plumbing that was never designed to last this long. It still works until it doesn't. When it stops working, you need someone who's seen it before.
I understand what's behind the walls in these homes because I've worked in them for six years. I'm not guessing. I know where the problems hide and what it actually takes to fix them right.

Bathroom Remodeling in Georgetown
Georgetown homeowners tend to know what they want and they're not looking to cut corners. Neither am I. Bathroom remodeling is where I do my best work. I handle the full plumbing scope: rough-in, supply lines, drain rough-out, fixture installation, shower and bathtub installation, and everything that has to be done right before the tile goes up.
For tile and finish work, I partner with Capitol Tile Designs. We've worked together enough times that the handoff is clean and nothing falls through the cracks. You don't need a general contractor to get a high-quality bathroom remodel done. You need the right people for each part of the job.
Before any work starts, I'll walk you through exactly what's included, what it costs, and what the timeline looks like. No surprises. If I find something unexpected once the walls are open, I'll show you and explain your options before I do anything.
Plumbing in Georgetown's Historic Rowhouses
Older rowhouses have a specific set of plumbing challenges. I see them constantly in Georgetown.
Aging Cast Iron and Galvanized Pipes
Cast iron drain lines crack and corrode over decades. Galvanized supply pipes rust from the inside out, which chokes water pressure and eventually fails. In a rowhouse that's 80 or 100 years old, these aren't hypothetical problems. I can camera the drains and inspect the supply lines to tell you exactly what you're dealing with.
Low Water Pressure
Usually caused by galvanized pipes that have corroded down to a fraction of their original diameter. If your pressure has dropped over the years, that's almost always why. I'll diagnose it honestly and tell you whether a repair makes sense or whether replacement is the better call.
Sewer Line Backups
Pre-war clay sewer lines are common under Georgetown streets and yards. Tree roots get in. Joints crack and shift. A sewer camera inspection shows exactly what's happening underground before anyone starts digging. I'll show you the footage and explain what I'm seeing.
Water Heater Replacement
Most water heaters last 8 to 12 years. If yours is older than that and you're losing hot water or seeing rust in the water, I'll tell you honestly whether it needs repair or replacement. I install gas, electric, and tankless water heaters and I'll pull the permit when required.
