Faucet Repair Service Area in Bowie, MD

Belair at Bowie was developed by Levitt & Sons beginning in the 1960s, and the City of Bowie’s own water system — built by the Levitt company in the early 1960s — still serves many of its sections, including Kenilworth, Tulip Grove, Somerset, Yorktown and Buckingham.

In older homes, the calls we hear about most are two-handle compression faucets that drip after a new washer, shut-off valves under the sink that won’t turn, and aerators clogged with sediment after hydrant flushing or a main break. If you’re a city water customer with a street-side problem, Bowie Public Works is at 301-809-2344.

Mitchellville sits just south and west of Bowie’s city limits. Homes outside the City of Bowie’s water system are served by WSSC Water, which requires most plumbing work to be done by a WSSC-licensed plumber — worth asking about when the provider answers.

Mention whether your faucet is a kitchen pull-down, a bathroom vanity faucet or a tub/shower valve, and have the brand handy if you know it. That helps the provider bring the right cartridge on the first visit.

ZIP 20720 covers the southern side of Bowie, including the Collington area. Calls from 20720 are routed to independent providers who cover that ZIP code.

If you live in a community with a management office or HOA, check whether plumbing inside your unit is your responsibility or the association’s before booking. Faucets and supply lines inside a home are usually the owner’s, but rules vary.

Woodmore and the neighborhoods around it share ZIP 20721 with parts of Bowie and Mitchellville. Water here comes from WSSC Water; for a main break or a leak in the street, WSSC’s emergency line is 301-206-4002.

For anything at the faucet, under the sink or at an outdoor spigot, that’s a plumbing call. If a hose bib leaks inside a wall after a freeze, see frozen hose bibs.

Parts of Kettering and the Largo edge fall inside ZIP 20721, and calls from those addresses are routed like any other 20721 call.

Most of Largo and Kettering use ZIP 20774. If your ZIP is 20774 or another code outside 20715–20721, you can still call, but provider availability may differ from Bowie.

These Bowie ZIP codes are used mainly for post office boxes. If your mailing address uses one of them, give the provider your street address so the call reaches someone who serves where the faucet actually is.
