Barnes Plumbing and Heating at 4901 Rugby Avenue, vacated less than 3 months ago, is on the market for lease as of yesterday.

ANOTHER LONGTIME BETHESDA PLUMBER LEAVES DOWNTOWN (PHOTOS)

Bethesda is leaking plumbers. M.H. Barnes Plumbing and Heating, a Bethesda business since 1955, has moved out of its 4901 Rugby Avenue headquarters. Their new home is at 9347 Fraser Avenue in Silver Spring. Barnes is the second longtime Bethesda plumbing firm to exit town in as many weeks. Leahy Plumbing & Heating moved out September 24, citing downtown traffic congestion and parking difficulties.
