Who We Are
Fitchet Plumbing is owned and operated by Timothy P. Fitchet, a Maryland-licensed plumber based in Severna Park. Fitchet Plumbing has been serving Severna Park and Anne Arundel County since 2015. We work on homes throughout the county — from Chartwell and Round Bay near the Magothy River to Olde Severna Park near the Baltimore-Annapolis Trail, and surrounding communities including Arnold (21012), Pasadena (21122), and Millersville (21108).
Most homes we work on were built between 1960 and 1995 — cast iron drain stacks, galvanized supply lines in many cases, and polybutylene pipe in properties from the late 1970s through the mid-1990s. We know what these systems look like from the inside and what failure looks like before it becomes an emergency.
Every price is quoted flat before work starts. We don’t begin until you’ve approved the number.

Why Is Plumbing in Severna Park Different From Other Maryland Areas?
Three specific conditions in this community combine to create plumbing problems that most general plumbing knowledge doesn’t fully account for. If you’ve had recurring drain issues, declining water pressure, or a water heater that failed earlier than expected, one of these is almost certainly involved.
Hard Water From the Chesapeake Bay Watershed
The municipal water supply serving Severna Park (ZIP 21146) carries measurable mineral content from Chesapeake Bay watershed treatment. Over time it deposits calcium scale inside pipes, shortens water heater life, and coats drain walls — which is why drains in the older homes off Benfield Road and throughout Chartwell tend to clog more frequently than homeowners expect. The same mineral load works against every appliance in the house. A whole-home water softener stops it at the source.
Clay Soil and Forty Years of Tree Root Pressure
Severna Park’s soil is clay-heavy and shifts seasonally — swelling when the ground is saturated each spring, contracting in summer. In crawlspace homes throughout Severna Forest and the B&A Trail corridor, that movement stresses pipe connections over years until joint failures open entry points for roots. The mature tree canopy throughout Chartwell, Severna Forest, and Olde Severna Park is the reason root intrusion is the most common finding when we camera-scope a sewer line in this area. A snake alone doesn’t resolve it — it breaks the roots smaller without sealing the entry point.
Groundwater From Two Rivers — Spring Flooding Risk
Severna Park sits between the Severn River to the south and the Magothy River to the north. Every spring, Maryland’s heaviest rainfall combines with snowmelt and raises the groundwater table across the entire peninsula. Homes in Round Bay, Ben Oaks, Linstead on the Severn, and Cape Arthur sit at the highest risk. A sump pump in these communities isn’t optional maintenance — it’s the single system standing between your finished basement and standing water during a March storm. When a pump fails, the damage is fast.

What Severna Park Homeowners Say About Fitchet Plumbing
★★★★★
“Sump pump failed at 9pm on a Saturday during a March rainstorm. Called and actually reached a person. Tim was here in under two hours. He diagnosed the float switch in about ten minutes, had the part on the truck, and was done before midnight. Price was exactly what he quoted on the phone.”
D.R. · Chartwell · Severna Park MD 21146
★★★★★
“We’d had the same slow drain problem for two years. Two different plumbers snaked it. Tim ran a camera first visit and showed us on screen exactly where the root was in our 1972 home’s cast iron sewer line. Fixed the real problem instead of just clearing it temporarily.”
K. & B.T. · Olde Severna Park · 21146
★★★★★
“Got quoted a large number from another company for a full sewer line replacement. Something felt off. Called Fitchet for a second opinion — Tim scoped the line and showed us the footage. Turned out it needed hydro jetting, not a full replacement. He could have sold us the same story. He didn’t.”

SUMP PUMP
Chartwell · Severna Park, MD 21146
Pump Running Nonstop — Float Switch Failure Found Before the Motor Gave Out
A homeowner in Chartwell called after the sump pump had been running continuously for days. Spring groundwater levels near the Magothy River drainage were high and they assumed it was normal. On inspection the float switch was stuck in the on position — the motor was overheating and close to failure. We replaced the float switch assembly, tested the discharge line, and found the battery backup unit had a dead cell. The pump itself was in good condition and didn’t need to be touched. Before leaving, we showed the homeowner where their main water shutoff valve was — they hadn’t known.

Third Plumber in Two Years — Camera Found Root Intrusion the Snake Never Reached
Two previous companies had snaked the same recurring kitchen and basement drain backup over two years for a homeowner near Severna Park High School in Olde Severna Park. Each time, the problem returned within months. We ran a camera on the first visit. Past the point a standard snake reaches, the original cast iron pipe from 1971 had a joint failure with root intrusion from a mature oak in the side yard. The roots had been broken smaller each time without sealing the entry point, which is why they grew back faster after each visit. Hydro jetting cleared the root mass and restored full flow. Trenchless pipe lining was quoted for a permanent fix.
PIPE REPLACEMENT
Severna Forest · Severna Park, MD 21146
18 Months of Declining Pressure — Galvanized Supply Lines Replaced Over Two Days
Water pressure had been dropping gradually for over a year — barely noticeable at first, then clearly low in the upstairs bathrooms. The home was built in 1968. Inspection of the galvanized steel supply lines showed significant interior corrosion reducing flow throughout. We showed the homeowner photos of the pipe interior on a tablet before quoting anything, explained both a section repair and a full repipe, and they chose the full repipe. Completed over two days. Anne Arundel County permit pulled and inspected. Full pressure restored on completion.

Common Questions About Plumbing in Severna Park, MD
Does Fitchet Plumbing work on weekends in Severna Park?
Yes — every Saturday and Sunday. Same flat-rate pricing as weekday calls. Call (667) 644-3080 any day of the week.
Will I know the price before you start work?
Always. We quote a flat price after diagnosis. You approve it before we start. The invoice matches the quote.
Do you charge a diagnostic fee?
A service call fee covers the visit and diagnosis. If you proceed with the repair it is applied to the total. If you don’t proceed, you pay only the service call fee.
Does Severna Park have hard water?
Yes. The water supply serving ZIP 21146 carries mineral content from Chesapeake Bay watershed treatment. It affects fixtures, water heaters, and pipe interiors over time.
Do I need a permit for plumbing work in Anne Arundel County?
For significant work, yes — water heater replacements, sewer repairs, repiping, and gas line work all require permits. Fitchet Plumbing pulls all required permits.
Can I get a second opinion before approving major repair work?
Yes. If a previous quote felt off, call us. We provide honest second opinions on major jobs — sewer line replacement, whole-house repiping, and similar work.
Why does my water pressure keep dropping in Severna Park?
Gradually declining pressure in a Severna Park home built before 1985 is usually galvanized steel supply lines corroding from the inside — mineral deposits and rust narrowing the pipe diameter over time. A pipe assessment confirms the extent and whether section repair or full repiping makes more sense.
Why does my drain in Severna Park keep clogging every few months?
Recurring clogs in older Severna Park homes are almost always root intrusion in cast iron sewer lines or hard water mineral scale on drain walls — both of which a standard snake clears temporarily without addressing the cause. A camera inspection identifies which one you have.
What should I do if my pipes freeze in Severna Park?
Turn off your main water shutoff valve immediately. Open all faucets to release pressure. Apply a hair dryer — not a torch — to the frozen wall section. After the thaw, check all fixtures for leaks before turning the shutoff back on fully. Call (667) 644-3080 if a pipe has burst.
