Our dispatchers know the neighborhoods of Silver Spring well enough to tell you roughly what's driving a call before the truck even arrives — older sections tend toward galvanized pipe issues, newer builds toward fixture and appliance connections.
Our trucks are stocked before they leave the yard each morning, not after a customer calls — common valves, wax rings, supply lines, and fittings ride along so a Silver Spring technician isn't making a parts-store run mid-repair.
A surprising number of the emergency calls we take in Silver Spring started as something small three or four days earlier. Here's what tends to escalate fast.
