Local pipe report

What's under Herndon's homes

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 Herndon: 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.

Herndon plumbing questions, answered

How do I know if my home has polybutylene pipes?

Check exposed pipe near the water heater or under sinks: polybutylene is usually gray (sometimes blue or black), flexible plastic, often stamped 'PB2110.' Homes built 1978–1995 in Fairfax and Arlington counties are prime candidates. If you find it, don't panic — but do get a repipe assessment, because PB fails without warning and many insurers surcharge or decline it.

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.
