You’ll get both in S&J. As a family owned and operated business located in Howard County, MD we have been helping homeowners in all of Howard County MD, parts of Carroll County, Baltimore County and Northern Anne Arundel County Maryland and surrounding areas with their home improvement needs for over 20 years.
"Jerry was friendly, efficient, straight-talking, and didn't try to upsell us. We didn't need (or want) a lot of design input and had a strong sense for the types of tile and fixtures we wanted. Many of the other contractors who came to give quotes pushed design services or strongly encouraged us to purchase low-quality tile/fixtures through their suppliers, but this wasn't the case with S & J. Elias was fantastic--he helped confirm our tiles and fixtures were appropriate before we finalized our purchases, and we appreciated his attention to detail throughout the process."

Len The Plumber, LLC. is a leading plumbing and drain company serving Central Maryland. Our certified professional plumbers are available same day to assist residential customers in Anne Arundel County, Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Carroll County, Cecil County, Harford County, and Howard County. Our knowledgeable plumbers have years of experience dealing with a wide variety of plumbing issues including plumbing repairs, drain cleaning, water heaters, well systems, heating systems, sewer, water, and gas lines. We’re open 7 days a week with no extra charge on evenings or weekends!
"I’ve used Len the Plumber in the past, but after today, I will never be using their services again. I called to follow up on a recent (and expensive) drain repair - work that my family stretched our budget to afford. The plumber who came out was great: professional, kind, and respectful. But unfortunately, the drain is still not fully cleared. When I called customer service to ask if there was any warranty or guarantee on the repair, I was met with nothing but attitude. I wasn’t rude, I simply asked a question. Rather than receiving a straightforward answer, I was spoken to in a condescending and dismissive tone, as if I didn’t have the right to inquire about a service I paid a significant amount for. If the answer is “no, there’s no warranty,” then just say that. I would’ve scheduled another appointment and paid for the additional work. But I refuse to support a business that treats its customers like that over the phone. I hung up and blocked the number. To whoever runs this company: please take customer service seriously. It’s hard enough to pay steep prices for plumbing work—being treated rudely on top of that is unacceptable. Hire people who are kind and respectful to your customers. You’ve lost my business."

Building code requirements vary by location. In many earthquake-prone areas, seismic gas shut-off valves are mandatory for new construction and during certain renovations or property transfers. Local building codes may specify which valve models are approved for installation.
Even where not required by law, these valves are strongly recommended as a safety measure in seismic zones to prevent gas-related fires and explosions following earthquakes.
Many insurance providers recognize the safety benefits of earthquake valves and may offer discounts on premiums. The specific savings depend on your insurance company's policies and your property's location. Contact your insurance provider directly to inquire about potential discounts for seismic safety improvements, as offerings vary between companies and regions.
Licensed natural gas plumbers are the most qualified professionals for earthquake valve installation. In most states, plumbers must maintain specific certifications and insurance coverage to work with gas lines. These professionals understand local building codes, proper valve placement, and how to ensure the system functions correctly during an emergency. Always verify that your installer has the appropriate licenses before proceeding with installation.
When an earthquake valve activates during a seismic event, it automatically shuts off the gas supply to your home. After the valve has triggered, you'll need a qualified professional to inspect your gas system for damage before resetting the valve and restoring gas flow. This safety measure prevents gas from flowing through potentially damaged pipes or into your home when appliances might have been compromised during the earthquake.
