Faucet, Sink & Fixture Repair in Falls Church: the local picture

Moderately hard water eats cartridges and aerators on a schedule; in condos, a failed braided supply line is one of the most expensive small parts in plumbing. We replace with quality parts, not builder-grade.

Dripping faucets, leaking sink drains, jammed disposals, new fixture installs — the small jobs that protect cabinets and sanity, done cleanly.

Local pipe report

Falls Church plumbing conditions

Ground & soilHeavy piedmont clay that swells when wet and shrinks in drought — hard on buried sewer joints and slab-side supply lines.
WaterFairfax water / arlington des public water from the potomac and occoquan — moderately hard; expect scale in water heaters after 8–10 years.
Housing stock1950s–70s ramblers and colonials with original galvanized or copper, plus a huge band of 1978–1995 homes plumbed in polybutylene.
Freeze riskA handful of hard-freeze snaps each winter; pipes in garage ceilings, bonus rooms and hose bibs burst during polar-vortex weeks.
Worth knowing in Falls Church: Northern Virginia sits in the national hot zone for polybutylene (PB) piping — gray plastic supply lines installed roughly 1978–1995 that fail without warning. If your home was built in that window, a repipe assessment is the single smartest plumbing call you can make.

Straight answers for Falls Church

Why does my basement need a battery backup sump pump?

Because the storms that flood NoVA basements are the same storms that knock out power. Clay soil sends stormwater straight to your foundation drain, and a finished basement turns a failed pump into a five-figure claim. Battery backup keeps the pit dry through the outage.

Is a dripping faucet worth a service call?

One drip per second is roughly 3,000 gallons a year, and the drip is telling you a cartridge or seat is failing — it gets worse, never better. If you're comfortable with the repair, great; if not, we're fast and we bring the right cartridge.

My garbage disposal hums but won't spin — dead?

Usually just jammed. Kill the power, then turn the rotor with the hex key underneath (or a wooden spoon from above) and press the reset button. Hums again? Something's still lodged. Silence even after reset usually means the motor's done.
