An HVAC and Plumbing Contractor for Carroll County's Seat

Brick Street Plumbing Heat & Air is a plumber & HVAC in Westminster, MD for heating and cooling repairs, leak and drain problems, water heaters, well pumps and everything in between. Our line, (240) 969-4911, is answered around the clock. We answer 24/7, and there are no overtime fees on nights, weekends or holidays. Our licensed technicians are dual-certified in plumbing and HVAC and factory-certified on the equipment they install, so the person who repairs your boiler can also fix the leaking valve beside it.

Westminster is the county seat of Carroll County, set in rolling hills and farmland. Its Main Street is lined with restored buildings dating to the 18th and 19th centuries, and the town has grown outward over the years with neighborhoods of every age, plus farmhouses on the surrounding roads. That range means old boilers and cast iron drains in one house, a heat pump and plastic piping in the next. We are based in Leesburg, VA, and serve Westminster along with Eldersburg, Mount Airy and the other towns on our service area page.

MAIN STREET HOMES

Heating and Plumbing in Older Westminster Buildings

The older homes near Main Street have character that is worth protecting, and their mechanical systems often show decades of changes. Hot water or steam boilers feeding radiators are still common. Supply piping may be a patchwork of galvanized, copper and plastic. Drains can include cast iron stacks that have quietly corroded for years. We repair what can be repaired and replace what has truly failed, with as little damage to plaster and trim as possible. For boilers, regular boiler maintenance keeps circulators, valves and burners in shape. For rooms that were never part of the original heating plan, such as finished attics or additions, a ductless mini split adds heating and cooling without running new ductwork through old walls. Businesses along Main Street call us too. Shops, restaurants and offices in older buildings deal with the same aging pipes and heating equipment as the homes around them, and a closed restroom or a dead rooftop unit costs a business money every hour. We handle commercial calls 24/7, with no overtime fees.

OUT IN THE COUNTRY

Farmhouses and Homes on Private Systems

On the roads outside town, many homes draw water from a private well and heat with propane, oil or a heat pump. These houses have their own failure points: a pressure tank that has lost its air charge, a well pump wearing out, a propane furnace with a dirty burner, or pipes in an unheated crawl space that freeze in January. We handle all of these, and we can work on outbuildings with plumbing too. Before winter, a quick look at exposed pipes, the well system and your heating equipment heads off most cold-weather emergencies. Browse our services page for the full list.

Frequently asked questions

Why are some radiators in my old house cold while others are hot?

Trapped air is the most common reason in hot water systems. Air collects at high points and blocks the flow, so the radiators on upper floors or at the end of a loop stay cold. Bleeding those radiators often fixes it. Other causes include a failing circulator pump, a stuck zone valve or low system pressure. If bleeding does not help, a technician can check the boiler and its controls.

Is a ductless mini split a good option for an older home?

Often, yes. Ductless systems need only a small opening through the wall for the refrigerant line, so they add heating and cooling without tearing into plaster to install ductwork. They work well for additions, finished attics, sunrooms and homes heated by radiators that have no central air. We look at the layout and recommend how many indoor units make sense.

What should I do if my well stops producing water?

Check the breaker for the well pump first, since a tripped circuit is a simple fix. Then look at the pressure gauge on the tank. If the pressure is at zero and the breaker is fine, the problem may be the pressure switch, the pump or the wiring. Do not keep resetting the breaker if it trips again. Call us and we will diagnose the system.

Do you service propane furnaces and water heaters in Carroll County?

Yes. Many homes outside Westminster rely on propane for heat and hot water, and our technicians repair, maintain and replace propane furnaces and water heaters along with natural gas, oil and electric equipment. If you smell gas, leave the house first, then call your propane supplier, and call us when it is safe to schedule the repair.

Can you replace galvanized pipes in a historic Westminster home?

Yes. We replace failing galvanized supply piping with modern material and plan the route to avoid unnecessary damage to plaster, trim and floors. Sometimes only the most corroded runs need replacement at first. We inspect the system, explain what we found and let you choose between a partial and full replacement.
