water damage restoration in Temple Hills
Temple Hills is an inner Beltway community in Prince George's County, near Branch Avenue (MD 5) and the Capital Beltway.

Temple Hills is an inner-Beltway community in Prince George's County, close to Branch Avenue (MD 5) and the Capital Beltway. Its ZIP codes are 20748 and 20757, and Brandywine Water Damage Restoration sends technicians from Brandywine to homes and buildings across the community.
The water problems here often have a shared-wall element. A leak from one unit can run through the ceiling or the walls into the unit beside it or below it, and the owner of the unit where the water started may not be the one who discovers it. The technician checks the units around the source, not only the one that called.

Today in Temple Hills
Summer thunderstorms and tropical-storm remnants bring the short, intense flash floods that cause most of Prince George's County's flooding, and winter freezes bring the pipe breaks, so the season decides which water problems are most likely in Brandywine.
How does water move between units in a Temple Hills building?
Water follows the path of least resistance, which in an apartment building is the pipe chase, the joist bays and the gap around the drain stack. A supply line that lets go on an upper floor can run down the same route and reach the unit below before the tenant upstairs knows there is a problem. The technician traces that route with moisture readings before opening any wall.
Shared walls and ceilings mean that the damage in one unit is rarely confined to it. The work includes the affected neighbors, and the building owner or manager is the right person to hear about any water that crossed a unit line.
Who issues plumbing permits for Temple Hills repairs?
WSSC Water issues plumbing permits for Prince George's County, and DPIE does not. Replacing existing fixtures generally needs no permit, but water heaters and testable backflow devices are the exceptions. A water heater replaced after a leak should have its permit pulled by the plumber before the new unit goes in.
One call and it gets handled.
A crew is dispatched as fast as one is available, and you approve the estimate before any work starts.

FAQ
Temple Hills FAQs
The leak came from the unit above mine in Temple Hills. What do I do?
Tell the building owner or manager in writing, with photographs and dates. The source and the repair are normally theirs to arrange, and a technician working for the owner or the insurer can then dry your unit and check the walls.
Do I need a permit to replace a water heater after a leak in Temple Hills?
Usually yes. In Prince George's County, water heaters are one of the few plumbing jobs that generally need a permit, and WSSC Water issues it. Ask the plumber to pull the permit before the new unit goes in.
Does a standard policy cover water from a neighbor's unit?
It can, if the policy covers the water source and the damage to your own property. Check the liability and property sections of your policy and ask your insurer how a leak from another unit is handled.
My Temple Hills building flooded from a storm, not a pipe. Is that different?
Yes. Storm water and flood are generally excluded from a standard policy, while a supply-line leak usually is not. The source decides how the claim is handled, so the technician records where the water came in.
