Common Plumbing Problems in Falls Church

Falls Church has its own set of plumbing challenges. The older housing stock, mature trees, and cold winters create specific problems. Here are the most common issues we see.

Sewer backups from tree root intrusion

Mature oak and maple trees in older neighborhoods like Seven Corners and Broadmont send roots into clay sewer laterals. The roots grow through cracks and create blockages.

Frozen pipes in crawl spaces

Many Falls Church homes have unheated crawl spaces. When temperatures drop below 20 degrees, pipes in these spaces freeze and burst.

Water heater failures

Falls Church has hard water, which causes sediment buildup in water heaters. This shortens their lifespan and leads to leaks and failures.

Sump pump failures

The high water table near Lake Barcroft keeps sump pumps working hard. Pumps can burn out or clog, leading to basement flooding.

Signs You Need a Plumber in Falls Church

Don't wait until a small leak becomes a flood. If you notice any of these signs, call us for plumbing repair near Falls Church. We'll diagnose the issue and fix it before it gets worse.

Water pooling around the water heater

A puddle under your water heater means the tank is leaking. It could be a loose fitting or a corroded tank. Either way, it needs immediate attention to prevent water damage.
Slow drains throughout the house

If multiple drains are slow, you likely have a blockage in the main sewer line. Tree roots or grease could be the culprit. We can camera the line and clear it.
Low water pressure

Low pressure in one fixture is usually a clogged aerator. Low pressure throughout the house points to a main line issue or corroded pipes. We can diagnose and repair.
Running toilet

A running toilet wastes water and money. It's usually a faulty flapper or fill valve. We can replace the parts and stop the waste.
Frozen pipes

If you turn on the tap and nothing comes out in winter, your pipe is frozen. Don't use a torch to thaw it. Call us to safely thaw the line and check for damage.

“Our water heater died on a Friday night. We called and they had a new one installed by Saturday afternoon. The price was fair and the work was clean. They even hauled away the old unit. Great service.”

James L.

Seasonal Plumbing Considerations in Falls Church

Falls Church weather affects your plumbing year-round. From spring rains to winter freezes, each season brings different challenges. Here's what to expect and how to prepare.

Spring

Spring rains can overwhelm sump pumps and foundation drains. Sewer backups are also common as tree roots start growing again.

Tip: Test your sump pump by pouring water into the pit. If it doesn't turn on, call us for repair.

Summer

Summer is a good time for preventive maintenance. Water heaters work harder, and outdoor plumbing like hose bibs can leak.

Tip: Schedule a water heater flush to remove sediment. Check outdoor faucets for leaks.

Fall

Fall is the time to prepare for winter. Insulate pipes in crawl spaces and disconnect garden hoses.

Tip: Have us inspect your pipes and add insulation where needed. This prevents frozen pipes later.

Winter

Freezing temperatures can cause pipes to freeze and burst, especially in crawl spaces and exterior walls.

Tip: Keep your thermostat at 55 degrees or higher, even when away. Let faucets drip during extreme cold.
