Local plumbers and electricians who know Upper Marlboro homes

Essential Plumbing & Electric is based in Upper Marlboro, the county seat of Prince George’s County. When you call, you’re reaching a local team that works in these neighborhoods every week, not a dispatcher in another state.
Upper Marlboro has a real mix of homes. Many houses in Kettering, Largo and Marlton were built between the 1960s and 1980s, and their original water heaters, galvanized and copper supply lines, and 100-amp electrical panels are reaching the end of their life. Newer communities like Westphalia, Woodmore and Beech Tree bring different needs: EV charger circuits, finished basements, smart fixtures and warranty-safe upgrades.
Because we do both plumbing and electrical, one visit covers jobs that touch both, like a water heater swap that needs a new circuit or a basement bathroom with new lighting.

What we see most

Common problems we fix in Upper Marlboro homes

Aging water heaters

Many original tanks in 1980s homes are past their 8 to 12 year lifespan. We repair or replace gas and electric units, often the same day.

Wet basements after storms

Heavy rain and high water tables keep sump pumps busy. We install, replace and add battery backups before the next storm.
Learn more →

Outdated electrical panels

Older 100-amp panels struggle with today’s loads. We upgrade panels and add AFCI/GFCI protection to current code.
Learn more →

EV chargers in new builds

Westphalia and other newer communities ask us for dedicated EV charger circuits sized to the home’s panel.
Learn more →

Pipe leaks and old supply lines

Pinhole leaks, worn shut-off valves and aging copper lines are common in older homes. We find the leak and fix it right.

Frozen outdoor faucets

Maryland winters split unprotected hose bibs inside the wall. We install frost-free faucets and shut-offs.
