Plumber in Hebron, MD

No. Teal Plumbing offers free on-site estimates. Many companies charge a trip or diagnostic fee, often somewhere between $59 and $179, just to show up. Andrew comes out, looks at what is going on, explains what it will take to fix it, and gives you a price. The choice is yours from there, and there is no fee either way.

The price you approve is the price you pay. Teal's plumbers are paid hourly, not on commission, so there's no reason to pad a quote or push extra work. Before anything starts, Andrew walks you through the full scope and cost. If a job looks like it will take longer than usual, you hear about it before you get the price, not on the invoice. Teal also absorbs credit card processing fees instead of adding them to your bill.

Yes. Plumbing repairs come with a two-year warranty, and water heaters come with a two-year parts and labor warranty. Your exact coverage is written on your estimate or invoice, so you know what's covered before work begins. Some work, like drain cleaning, temporary repairs, and connections to certain existing piping, can have exclusions, and manufacturer warranties may apply separately. If something isn't right, you reach the same person who did the work.

Yes. When you call Teal, you reach Andrew, a licensed Master Plumber, not a call center or an automated scheduler. He answers his own phone because he likes explaining things and helping you figure out what's going on. Often he can walk you through a safe first step, like shutting off the water, before he comes out. If he's in the middle of a job, he gets back to you as soon as he's off it.

Yes. Teal Plumbing is licensed and insured. Andrew is a Master Plumber in both Maryland and Delaware and holds backflow certification in both states. That matters most on the bigger jobs, like water heaters, gas lines, and well systems, where you want the work done to code by someone who is accountable for it. You're hiring a licensed master, not a handyman learning on your house.

It depends on where you are and what's going on. For anything urgent, call 443-669-7115 so Andrew can talk through the problem and give you the earliest available appointment. Teal's hours are Mon–Sat 8 AM–4 PM. If you see an active leak, shut off your main water supply if you can reach it safely. Customers often mention he came out the next day or within the same week.

Teal is based in Hebron, just outside Salisbury, and serves Wicomico County and Worcester County in Maryland and Sussex County in Delaware. That includes Salisbury, Hebron, Delmar, Ocean City, Berlin, Millsboro, Dagsboro, Georgetown, and the communities around them. If you're near the edge of the area, call to confirm Andrew can get to your address.

In most cases, yes. Teal installs many fixtures and pieces of equipment you've already bought, as long as they're compatible with your plumbing and in good condition. The one exception is gas: Teal does not install customer-supplied gas piping or fittings. Your estimate explains how the warranty works for equipment you supplied, since the manufacturer's coverage may differ from Teal's.

Yes. Teal flushes and services water heaters and maintains well systems with chlorination and flushing. To stay ahead of problems, the Keep It Flowing Membership is Andrew's maintenance plan: a yearly whole-home plumbing inspection, a water heater safety inspection, priority scheduling, and 10% off repairs, for $7.99/month or $95.88/year. You schedule your inspection whenever it suits you.

No. Teal Plumbing doesn't pump septic tanks, replace tanks, or work on drain fields, so for pumping you'll want a septic company. What Teal does handle is the plumbing side of a septic system: repairing and replacing the pumps inside the tank and ejector pumps, and clearing clogged baffles so everything flows the way it should.
