Meet Brandon Anson: The Plumber Behind Pasadena Premier Plumbing

When a pipe bursts, a water heater fails, or a kitchen sink backs up, homeowners don’t just need a plumber—they need someone they can trust to show up, explain the problem, and fix it without turning a small issue into a costly repair.

That’s the approach Brandon Anson, owner of Pasadena Premier Plumbing, brings to homeowners throughout Anne Arundel County. And, while his company officially launched recently, Brandon already brings nearly a decade of plumbing experience to the business, along with a commitment to honest service and strong customer relationships.

In talking to Brandon, it became clear that plumbing truly isn’t just a job for him—it’s his passion.  

From Chesapeake High School to the Plumbing Trade

Brandon’s career in plumbing started immediately after graduating from Chesapeake High School in 2016.

In fact, the transition was almost immediate. He graduated on a Thursday—and started working as a plumbing apprentice the very next day.

Before that moment, plumbing wasn’t even on his radar. Brandon had been studying welding and environmental resource management in school and had never really considered the trade until an opportunity came through a family connection.

After giving the job a chance, he quickly realized he had found something he could see himself doing for the long term. Within just a couple of short months, he had already decided he wanted to build a career in plumbing and eventually run his own company.

That goal pushed him to gain as much hands-on experience as possible over the next decade. By age 26, Brandon had already achieved another major milestone—earning his Master Plumber license, something he had set as a goal for in the very beginning.

Starting Pasadena Premier Plumbing

After years of working in the industry, Brandon decided it was time to take the next step and launch his own company.

Pasadena Premier Plumbing officially opened in late 2025.

Like many new business owners, Brandon made the decision carefully. Family has always been a top priority for him, and he wanted to make sure the timing was right before fully committing to running service calls under his own company.

Once the business was officially set up, he began focusing on building a customer base and establishing a reputation in the local community.

Although the company is new, Brandon already has nearly ten years of plumbing experience behind him—experience that helps homeowners feel confident when they call for service.

Plumbing Services Offered

Pasadena Premier Plumbing focuses primarily on residential plumbing services, including both everyday repairs and more complex underground work.

Some of the most common services include:

• Water heater installation and replacement
• Sump pump installation and repair
• Faucet and fixture repairs
• Shower cartridge replacement
• General plumbing repairs
• Sewer line replacement
• Water service line replacement

Brandon notes that replacing water and sewer lines running from a home to the street is one of the specialties he has significant experience with.

At the same time, his workload is heavily occupied by the everyday plumbing issues you might expect a homeowner to encounter.

Beyond The Fix: Service You Can Trust

Ask Brandon what separates his company from other plumbing contractors, and the answer is simple: customer experience.

While price is always a factor in home repairs, Brandon believes homeowners ultimately value clear communication and honest advice more than anything else.

Rather than trying to sell unnecessary services, he focuses on explaining what’s happening inside a customer’s plumbing system so they can make an informed decision.

If he notices something that may become a problem in the future, he’ll point it out and explain the severity—whether it needs to be addressed immediately or simply monitored.

His philosophy is straightforward:

Treat customers with respect, explain the problem clearly, and fix what actually needs fixing.

Common Plumbing Problems Homeowners Face

As our conversation progressed, I began to ask some more technical plumbing questions. Brandon was quick and enthusiastic in his responses.

For instance, I asked him to tell me about common problems homeowners might face. One of the most common issues homeowners experience during winter, as you might have guessed, is frozen pipes.

Often the cause is something simple—forgetting to shut off an outdoor hose connection before temperatures drop. When those lines freeze, the pipe can burst and create a major water leak inside the home.

One surprisingly common issue involves leaking toilets.

Many homeowners don’t realize that a worn internal gasket can allow water to slowly leak from the tank into the bowl—something that can dramatically increase a household’s water bill.

Brandon shares a simple test homeowners can try:

Add a few drops of food coloring to the tank and wait about 15 minutes. If the color appears in the bowl without flushing, there’s likely a leak.

Essential Plumbing Checks and Emergency Prep

According to Brandon, homeowners should occasionally check the condition of key plumbing equipment—especially their water heater.

If rust or corrosion begins appearing around the seams or pipe connections, it may indicate the unit is reaching the end of its lifespan.

While water heater life expectancy varies, they typically seem to last around seven to ten years on average.

He also recommends that homeowners know exactly where their main water shut-off valve is located.  In the case of an emergency plumbing situation, you may need to shut the valve ASAP. 

One thing I would have never thought of – turning the water off before leaving for a vacation—even a short trip—can prevent a small leak from turning into major water damage.

Brandon has seen firsthand how devastating plumbing leaks can become when no one is home to catch them early.  To the point where a plumber is just the first of several contractors that may be paying a visit to your home.

Garbage Disposal Dos and Don’ts

Garbage disposals are convenient, but many homeowners misunderstand what should actually go down the drain.

According to Brandon, the safest rule is simple:

Only rinse small food scraps from plates into the disposal.

Items that should never go down the drain include:

• Egg shells
• Coffee grounds
• Bones
• Vegetable peels
• Rice or pasta
• Grease or oils

Many of these materials can pass through the disposal but later cause blockages farther down the drain line.

In some cases, clearing those clogs requires a plumber to snake the line to remove the buildup.

Smart Plumbing Technology

Anyone who knows me, knows I’m interested in emerging technologies.  So, I was curious to ask about whether there are any new devices changing how homeowners protect their plumbing systems.

One growing trend Brandon recommends is installing a smart shut-off valve on the main water line.

These devices monitor water usage patterns and can automatically shut off the home’s water supply if they detect a leak.

Some insurance companies even offer discounts for homes that install these systems because they can prevent catastrophic water damage.

Building a Business While Raising a Family

Outside of work, Brandon describes himself as a family-first person. He enjoys spending time with his wife and young daughter and often travels with extended family on camping trips and vacations.

As Pasadena Premier Plumbing grows, Brandon plans to gradually expand the business while maintaining the personal customer experience that helped him get started.

Hiring additional technicians will eventually allow the company to handle more calls while still delivering the same level of service.

Serving Pasadena and Anne Arundel County

Pasadena Premier Plumbing proudly serves homeowners throughout:

• Pasadena
• Glen Burnie
• Severna Park
• Lake Shore
• Riviera Beach
• Other surrounding Anne Arundel County communities

Because Brandon personally answers the phone and runs service calls himself, customers often deal directly with the owner of the company.

That personal connection is something many homeowners appreciate—especially when dealing with stressful plumbing emergencies.

In Conclusion

For Brandon Anson, building Pasadena Premier Plumbing isn’t about becoming the largest plumbing company in the region.

It’s about building a reputation.

By focusing on honest communication, reliable service, and strong relationships with customers, Brandon hopes to create the kind of company homeowners feel confident recommending to their neighbors.

In an industry where trust matters as much as technical skill, that approach may be the most valuable tool a plumber can have.
