Local context
- Water / sewer: Municipal or well by address — confirmed before quoting treatment or heaters
- Gas: Washington Gas, Columbia Gas, or propane pockets by address
- Permits: VA counties here still use the uniform USBC; MD fringe counties use the state plumbing code with local amendments. Well/septic constraints vary — we set honest scope expectations when you book.
- Housing: Town centers plus well/septic fringe homes; filtration and softener demand is higher outside public-water cores.
