(WSSC & City of Rockville)
Durance Plumbing is a full-service, fully licensed plumbing company serving Rockville, MD. One important distinction in Rockville is that plumbing oversight depends on which authority provides your water service.
All plumbing work in Rockville is performed under the appropriate licenses:
#77820
State-certified master plumber license
📋
#71643
Authorized for WSSC-served properties
#PLL-0001731
Licensed for City of Rockville properties
These licenses allow us to legally perform plumbing work on properties served by either WSSC or the City of Rockville and to manage required permits and inspections with the correct authority.
Rockville is unique because water and sewer oversight depends on the specific property location, not just the city address:
✓WSSC-served properties follow WSSC permitting, inspection, and compliance requirements.
✓ City of Rockville–served properties follow City of Rockville plumbing permits, inspections, and municipal codes.
Important: Using the wrong authority can result in failed inspections or rejected permits. Durance Plumbing routinely works with both WSSC and the City of Rockville and determines the correct governing authority before work begins.

Both WSSC and the City of Rockville regulate plumbing work to protect public health and the drinking water system. Their guidelines affect many common plumbing projects, including:
✓ Permit requirements for plumbing work
✓ Inspection and approval procedures
✓ Backflow and cross-connection protection
✓ Pressure regulation and safety devices
✓ Approved materials and installation methods
Our familiarity with both regulatory systems helps prevent delays, failed inspections, and enforcement issues.
Hiring a plumber licensed for the correct governing authority matters because:
✓
Not all plumbers are authorized to work under both WSSC and City of Rockville rules
✓
Incorrect permitting can delay or invalidate inspections
✓
Non-compliant work can result in fines or required corrections
Durance Plumbing’s dual licensing ensures your plumbing work is completed correctly and in compliance with the appropriate authority.
