Licensed under the Maryland Board of Plumbing • Serving all of Montgomery Village, MD
One of the County's Original Planned Communities
Montgomery Village was created in 1962 by developer Kettler Brothers, and its first residents arrived in the Goshenside neighborhood on September 25, 1967, making it a decade or more older than Germantown's own master-planned villages that followed in the 1970s. Today it's home to close to 35,000 residents across neighborhoods like Walkers Choice, Cider Mill, and Horizon Run, with access to I-270 via Montgomery Village Avenue and Watkins Mill Road. It remains one of the more established, densely built communities in this part of Montgomery County.
That longer history means a wider age range in the housing stock than most of the newer development nearby. Original 1960s and 1970s construction sits alongside homes renovated multiple times over, and alongside newer infill built in more recent decades. Plumbing calls here reflect that range, some are straightforward fixture repairs in a recently updated home, and some involve original galvanized supply lines or aging cast-iron drain sections that have never been touched since the community was built.
Common Plumbing Issues We See in Montgomery Village
- 1Corroded galvanized supply lines in original, unrenovated 1960s and 1970s homes, causing reduced water pressure.
- 2Aging water heaters in homes that haven't had one replaced since an earlier renovation.
- 3Sewer line root intrusion in older sections with mature street trees planted since the 1960s.
- 4Standard fixture wear, faucets, toilets, and disposals, consistent with any established, decades-old neighborhood.
Public Water and Sewer Throughout
Montgomery Village is fully inside the county's public water and sewer service envelope, served by WSSC Water, so unlike some of the more rural communities we cover, well and septic issues aren't part of the picture here. That simplifies the diagnostic starting point, but it doesn't change the reality that a meaningful share of the community's original infrastructure is now over 50 years old and reaching or past typical service-life expectations for pipe and water heater replacement.
What to Expect When You Call
- Tell us roughly how old your home is and whether it's had a renovation or repiping, if you know.
- We quote before we start, including any after-hours rate, so you know the number before we begin.
- We check age-appropriate suspects first, original galvanized supply lines and aging water heaters in an unrenovated home, rather than assuming every call is a simple fixture fix.

Frequently Asked Questions
Montgomery Village was created in 1962 and its first residents moved in during 1967. That means a meaningful share of the community's original housing stock is now well past 50 years old, old enough that original pipe material, water heaters, and fixtures in unrenovated homes are commonly due for attention.
Yes, we service homes throughout Montgomery Village's neighborhoods, including Cider Mill, Walkers Choice, Horizon Run, Goshen, and the other sections built out over the community's decades of development.
Yes. Montgomery Village is a densely developed, master-planned community inside Montgomery County's public water and sewer service envelope, served by WSSC Water, so plumbing issues here are almost always fixture, pipe, or drain-related rather than well or septic issues.
Homes from that era, here as in the rest of the Mid-Atlantic, were commonly built with galvanized steel or early copper supply lines. Galvanized pipe in particular is prone to internal corrosion that reduces water pressure and eventually requires replacement, which is a common finding in the community's older, unrenovated houses.
If you haven't had a repiping or major renovation done and the home dates to the 1960s or 1970s, it's worth having the supply lines checked, especially if you've noticed gradually declining water pressure over the years. That's a common symptom of internal corrosion in old galvanized pipe rather than something you have to just live with.
