Your Plumber in Boyds, MDClopper Road to Hoyles Mill.
No meter, no tap, no one else to call
Boyds sits between Germantown and Barnesville, inside the Agricultural Reserve. Rural lots, long driveways, old trees, Black Hill Regional Park and Little Seneca Lake out the back door. Parts of Boyds on the Germantown side are connected to WSSC. Most of it is not. Out on White Ground, Hoyles Mill, Black Hills Road and Slidell, homes run on a private well and a septic system, and that changes everything about how plumbing works.
On a WSSC street, a pressure problem might be the utility’s. Here it is your pump, your pressure tank, or your line. A drain problem might be the county’s sewer main. Here it is your tank or your drainfield. Nobody is coming to split the bill with you. That is why we show up with the camera, the locating equipment and the test kit rather than a guess, and why we would rather tell you the pump has two years left than sell you one today. Our crews work both sides of Boyds, the WSSC addresses and the well-and-septic ones, and we ask which you are on before we load the truck.

Common plumbing issues in Boyds homes
Tell us whether you are on a well or on WSSC and we can narrow it before we arrive.
Well pumps and pressure tanks
When a private pump or pressure tank goes, the house has no water at all. It usually warns you first. Pressure that swings, a pump that short cycles, taps that sputter, or a tank that feels waterlogged. Call us on the warning and it is a repair. Call us after and it is an emergency.
Septic trouble that looks like a clog
Slow drains all over the house, the lowest toilet gurgling, or a wet patch over the drainfield. People snake it three times before anyone checks the tank. We camera the line and find out which one it actually is.
Long underground runs
Boyds lots mean service lines that run a long way from the road to the house, often under a driveway or across a field. We have done runs about the length of a football field. A puddle in the yard that never dries, water you can hear running, or a bill that jumped with no explanation all point the same direction.
Big old trees in the line
Boyds has the trees to match its age, and roots go after joints. We start by snaking with cutter heads. If the pipe is otherwise sound and the budget is not ready for a dig, jetting plus a RootX application buys real time. When the pipe itself is finished, we tell you that too.

We are more than plumbers, we are your neighbors
Our shop is in Clarksburg, minutes from Boyds. That is not a marketing line, it is a drive we make constantly. Underground sewer and water line work can only be done by a master plumber pulling a permit in this jurisdiction, and we have three master plumbers on staff. We pull the permit before we start and we call Miss Utility before every dig, re-marking as we go on jobs that run across multiple days or multiple parts of a property. We are licensed, bonded and insured, and the price is flat and approved by you before anyone starts working.
We like being the second plumber on the job
We are People First Plumbing, fourth generation, family owned and women owned since 2008. For 18 years we have specialized in the work most plumbers avoid: underground plumbing, sewer systems, drain cleaning and water line repair. Our favorite calls are the ones where somebody has already been out twice. One customer told us our techs found in ten minutes what other plumbers had missed for ten years. We own our leak detection gear, our cameras and locators, and a bursting missile and air compressor for trenchless pulls, which a lot of shops around here simply do not have. That is the whole reason we can find things other crews cannot.
A crew you are glad to let in
Our technicians are our own trained, background-checked team. Real neighbors, real technicians, real trucks. They arrive when we said, cover their boots, explain what they are doing in plain words, and clean up before they leave. We run an apprenticeship program because we would rather train the next crew ourselves than hope somebody else did it right. In a place like Boyds, where everyone asks their neighbor who they used, that is the only approach that works.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Clarksburg Plumbing LLC, and especially with Seth. From the moment he arrived, he was professional, respectful, knowledgeable, and quite frankly, a breath of fresh air. I was extremely nervous about the situation because my leak was below the main water shutoff valves, and the water had to be turned off at the street. Seth immediately put me at ease and assured me that everything was going to be okay. Rather than just putting together a temporary solution, he wanted to make sure he ordered the exact parts needed to do the job properly. Seth told me he expected to have the correct part and be able to return on Wednesday to complete the repair. On Tuesday afternoon, the office called to let me know the part had arrived and confirmed that Seth would be back Wednesday morning between 8:00 and noon. Seth was at my door at 8:10 AM! I was genuinely impressed. He completed the repair carefully, explained everything he was doing, and was extremely conscientious about properly turning the water back on, opening the faucets in the house, and making sure everything was working exactly as it should. What impressed me most, though, was Seth himself. He has a wonderfully calm, professional demeanor that made a very stressful situation so much easier for me. I sincerely appreciate the care he took with my home and the respect he showed me throughout the entire process. Clarksburg Plumbing is very fortunate to have someone like Seth representing their company. I would absolutely recommend them and Seth!!
I had a great experience with Tyler when he came out to replace our toilet flushing system. From start to finish, Tyler was incredibly courteous, professional, and knowledgeable. He walked me through what needed to be fixed, answered all my questions patiently, and completed the job efficiently. It’s rare to find such high-quality service and attention to detail. Everything is working perfectly now, and he left the work area completely clean. I highly recommend Tyler for any plumbing needs!
John and Maddy showed up on time and did a superb job. Very friendly and informative
John and Maddie were fantastic. They fixed my original issue and then helped me out with a leaky shower and answered all my questions. I highly recommend both John and Maddie!
Absolute best plumbers I have ever used. Needed them a few times recently and each time they were so professional, kind and resolved each problem the first time around. This last issue took them several hours to fix. They explained everything along the way and gave a very fair price for a lot of work. They also work very cleanly! I will never use another plumber! I wanted to add a new review but I could not so I am editing my previous one. I had to use Clarksburg Plumbing again today and like last time, they were exceptional. I was fortunate enough to have John and Madeleine as my service technicians. I will always request them going forward. They are kind, professional and knowledgeable! I am sure the company knows how fortunate they are to have them as part of their team!
We thank Clarksburg Plumbing again for superior, high quality and friendly service! ----- Clarksburg Plumbing visited us last week to repair an external spigot that had been leaking. The work involved creating a little inside access panel. Within and without, a nice, neat job by Charlie and his understudy apprentice, Chris. Problem solved and happy campers here! ----- UPDATE: Plumber John Brown presented himself on time and got right to work replacing my Mom's ancient leaky kitchen faucet with a new store-bought one that I provided. During the process, Mr. Brown detected and showed me two other problem areas contributing to the water leaks: a cracked drain pipe and then rusted threads on the sink trap. He efficiently and expertly repaired all three elements to our full satisfaction. Plus, John is a super nice guy, completely honest and classy enough to laugh at all my corny jokes! The next time you need any plumbing work in your home or business, I strongly endorse John Brown and anyone on the Clarksburg Plumbing team! UPDATE 2: John and his understudy Maddie visited, and quickly solved the problem of a pinhole leak in copper tubing leading from our hot water heater. He advised us on other plumbing needs, for which we have scheduled and will otherwise follow-up. Thank you Clarksburg Plumbing for your top quality people - John Brown in particular - and performance.
Their work was excellent. The problem solved a difficult situation with a water pipe leak and worked hard to implement it. Very grareful for the work of Franklin, Noah, Cotton, Markell, Tevon, Jason, Deybis
Tevon, Noah, Markell, and Morrow were sent by Clarksburg Plumbing LLC to repair an outside broken waterline They arrived at the appointed hour and completed the work in about 3 hours. I was very impressed with them and I would like to recommend all four of these very professional and friendly technicians. Clarksburg Plumbing is a fantastic organization; the office staff, Katie and Charlotte, who helped me are the best.
Our well lines began to leak after many years of service. Noah Zohrabi,YDeybis Gomez & Markel Watts came to the rescue! Excellent service from some very professional, courteous & knowledgeable folks!
Thank you to Seth, who came on Wednesday and fixed one of our two toilets and fixed our primary bedroom shower. And thank you to Charlie, who came today and replaced our other toilet and replaced our garbage disposal. You are both lifesavers! Our weekend (and going forward) will be MUCH nicer now that we can use our bathrooms (and garbage disposal) again. Highly recommend Clarksburg Plumbing.
Excellent service today from John Brown and Madeleine S. They were very kind and took time to explain the issue with my dishwasher. I really appreciate their professionalism and efficiency. I would definitely consider using this company again based on my service today!
GREAT service and expertise! John and Maddie just installed a water filtration system to our home. The process took one day to install and then they came back from the 48 hour install period to ensure everything was working well. John was familiar and knowledgeable about the water system we bought. Maddie and John kept our space clean, clearly explained how to ensure longevity for our system to last, and the difference it will make in our home. We appreciate their hard work and professionalism. This is our second time using Clarksburg plumbing. We would highly recommend their company to our family and friends.
We had a good experience with Clarksburg Plumbing: it was easy to schedule, they communicated clearly, arrived on time, and did a great job on completing the work.
John did Excellent job with installing water refrigerator line for my refrigerator. My Condo was built 1983, and pipes were complicated, but not for John. He found it easy and finished the job in the timely manner. I am very happy customer. Thank you John!!
John Brown was knowledgeable, responsive and pragmatic. He saved us time by diagnosing then recommending best course of action. We are now waiting for the estimate for the project and will be going with Clarksburg Plumbing on our 1948 cap cod renovation. Highly recommend this company’s knowledge, professionalism and responsiveness.
Franklin and his crew showed up promptly and communicated great with us to help limit disruption with the tenants at 4 of our building. Unfortunately for us a second water main leak occurred the day before. But luckily for us they were able to stay on site another 2 days and knock the second one out, even staying till 8pm to find the line and get it repaired. These will be the guys I request for our next time needs
Seth and Brady did a fantastic job replacing our water heater. They were professional, courteous, and detail oriented. They arrived on time and did careful, clean work all the way through. We have worked with Clarksburg Plumbing on smaller items before this and would be very happy to utilize their services in the future, as well.
