How can plumbing contractors help you choose the right water heater? Get expert guidance on sizing, efficiency, and safe installation for long-term comfort.
By The JAD Journal January 27, 2026
We celebrated our Lead Technician Zac's workiversary last week, and we thought it was the perfect excuse to turn the spotlight on him. In this issue, we’re sharing a special 'Insider Scoop' Q&A so you can get to know the person taking care of your tech a little better! Q: What is the one tool you absolutely could not do your job without? A: A tiny crescent wrench I keep in my pocket. It's fully adjustable so I can use it on EVERYTHING, water lines, taking apart faucets and shower heads, putting new blades on our saw, you name it! Q: What is your favorite type of job to work on? A: Trim outs (that's when we install all the fixtures in a bathroom) because you can make it look all fancy and nice Q: What's your go-to snack food? A: I'm a gummy kind of guy. Sometimes during work we'll stop at 7-11 and Will will get food but I'll just pick up a bag of gummies Q: What is your favorite local restaurant? A: It's not really local since it's a chain, but my wife and I love the half apps at Applebees. I'm open to suggestions if you have any though! Q: If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go? A: I'd have to say Sweden for the snow, I love snowboarding Q: If you were an animal, which one would you want to be? A: A Mouse. No further context needed. Maybe a slight upgrade to rat Q: What's the weirdest gift you've ever received? A: Ever since becoming a plumber, the amount of plunger-related gifts is insane. I've got at least 3 mini-plungers now. Here’s to many more years of Zac helping things run smoothly at JAD!

Trivia on Tap: Did you know that Albert Einstein is famously quoted saying: "If I would be a young man again and had to decide how to make my living, I would not try to become a scientist or scholar or teacher. I would rather choose to be a plumber or a peddler in the hope to find that modest degree of independence still available under present circumstances." In the middle of the McCarthy era, Einstein felt that scientists and scholars faced unwarranted scrutiny and admired the freedom professions such as plumbers and peddlers retained. His letter to the newspaper explaining just that, resulted in him receiving an honorary membership to the Chicago Plumbers Union!  Announcements: This area is expected to get snow this weekend so make sure you are prepared! If you notice anything out of the ordinary with your plumbing or gas fitting equipment, let us know ASAP so we can get to it before the storm!

The customer service, communication and the service provided was top notch. I had called 2 other plumbers prior to speaking to Mr. Douglas. Not only did they quote me twice as much but if they weren’t pushy they came across as not interested in the project. We have an older home and the shower was constantly dripping and had low pressure when in use. It was an easy fix Mr. Douglas’s team and I would definitely hire them again," Announcements: If you haven't already, make sure to follow us on your preferred social media platform for more helpful tips and videos!

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Plumbing Services

  • What types of plumbing services do we provide for homeowners?

    When homeowners come to us with questions about the range of services we offer, we explain that our work covers everything from routine repairs to full fixture replacements. As a plumbing company in Crofton, MD, we spend much of our time helping local households deal with clogged drains, leaky pipes, worn water heaters, and outdated plumbing lines that no longer perform well. At the same time, we also assist many families with larger upgrades such as new bathroom fixtures, kitchen plumbing improvements, or converting older systems to more efficient setups. Because we operate as a plumbing company in Annapolis, MD as well, we help many customers throughout the region who need reliable service and experienced workmanship for homes of all ages. We take pride in offering solutions that are thorough, long-lasting, and tailored to the specific needs of each property.

  • Do we handle plumbing emergencies?

    Emergency calls are a significant part of what we do because plumbing problems rarely happen at convenient times. As a plumbing company in Crofton, MD, we often respond to issues like sudden pipe bursts, sewer line backups, and water heater failures that require immediate action to prevent further damage. Homeowners rely on us to arrive with the right tools and experience to stabilize the situation and prevent additional harm to their property. Working as a plumbing company in Annapolis, MD also means we regularly deal with emergencies in older waterfront homes where corrosion and aging pipes can create unexpected failures. In every case, we prioritize fast response times, clear communication, and practical repairs that help restore comfort and safety as quickly as possible.

  • Do we assist with plumbing upgrades and renovations?

    Many customers ask whether we help with renovation projects, and the answer is yes. When homeowners remodel kitchens, bathrooms, or laundry rooms, our input is essential to create a plumbing layout that supports modern fixtures and appliances. As a plumbing company in Crofton, MD, we work with homeowners early in the renovation process to recommend the strongest materials, plan pipe routes, and determine the right fixture placements. Likewise, as a plumbing company in Annapolis, MD, we frequently assist clients with updating older systems to meet higher performance expectations and current building standards. Renovation work gives us the opportunity to replace outdated pipes, improve water pressure, install more efficient equipment, and maximize long-term function for the entire home.

  • Do we work with both gas and water systems?

    Customers often want to know whether we handle gas lines as well as standard plumbing systems, and we do. As a plumbing company in Crofton, MD, we regularly install and repair gas lines for appliances such as water heaters, ranges, fireplaces, and outdoor grills. Working with gas requires precision and strong technical knowledge, and our experience allows us to complete this work safely and correctly. Because we also function as a plumbing company in Annapolis, MD, we work with many homes that use both natural gas and propane for different parts of the property. Whether we are repairing a water line or installing a new gas appliance, we approach every project with careful workmanship and a focus on long-term reliability.

  • Do we provide water heater repairs and installations?

    Water heaters are one of the most critical systems in any home, and we receive many questions about repair and replacement options. As a plumbing company in Crofton, MD, we service traditional tank water heaters as well as modern tankless units that provide on-demand hot water. We diagnose issues such as low hot water supply, temperature fluctuations, or strange noises, and we help homeowners determine whether repair or replacement is the better option. Because we also operate as a plumbing company in Annapolis, MD, we have experience working with a wide range of brands and models, including systems designed for larger waterfront properties. Our work includes installation, maintenance, and performance evaluations to help every household get the most out of its water heating system.

  • Do we offer preventative maintenance services?

    Many homeowners call us after a plumbing issue has already occurred, but we also offer preventative maintenance to help avoid costly problems in the first place. As a plumbing company in Crofton, MD, we inspect systems for early signs of wear, corrosion, hidden leaks, or inefficient components that may cause trouble later. Preventive care is especially valuable in older homes where plumbing systems experience natural aging over time. Similarly, as a plumbing company in Annapolis, MD, we provide routine maintenance for properties that depend on consistent performance, including those with more complex layouts or higher water usage. Preventive service allows us to catch minor issues early, extend the life of plumbing components, and help homeowners enjoy fewer interruptions and unexpected repairs.
