Hutchinson & Son Sewer and Drain Service | Plumbing Services in Silver Spring, MD 20906

Preventing outdoor faucet freeze-ups is a common concern in our Maryland climate. We recommend disconnecting and draining garden hoses before winter and installing frost-proof sillcocks, which are designed to shut off water inside your home's warmer wall. For existing standard faucets, we can install insulated covers. As part of our plumbing inspection service, we can assess all your exterior fixtures and recommend the best preventive measures to avoid costly pipe bursts and water damage.

Video camera inspection involves sending a small, waterproof camera through your pipes. This allows us to see the exact condition and location of a clog, break, or buildup without guesswork or unnecessary digging. For over 35 years, we've used this technology to diagnose issues accurately on the first visit, saving you time and money. Whether it's a slow-draining sink or a recurring sewer backup, the camera shows us the problem so we can recommend the most effective repair, such as targeted hydro-jetting or a specific section of pipe replacement.

Absolutely. Basement moisture is a frequent issue in our area. We offer comprehensive moisture control and waterproofing solutions. Our process starts with an inspection to identify the water source, whether it's seepage through walls, floor cracks, or a failing sump pump. We then provide tailored repairs or installations, which may include interior drainage systems, sump pumps, vapor barriers, and sealants. By addressing the root cause, we help protect your basement from water damage and mold, making it a dry, usable space.
