Before we get there

A burst pipe in a Centreville house: what to do first

Almost half of Centreville’s homes are townhouses, so a leak can reach a neighbor’s wall too. Move fast, in this order.

  1. Close the main. Lowest level, inside the foundation wall where the water line comes in, next to the brass pressure regulator. Often it’s in the utility room with the water heater.
  2. Open the lowest tap. It pulls the leftover water away from the leak and out where you can see it.
  3. Tell the neighbor. In a townhouse row, water travels along the shared wall. A knock now saves their drywall too.
  4. Breaker off near the water. Outlets, a light or an appliance in the wet area: switch that circuit off at the panel.
  5. Look for grey pipe. If the split is in grey plastic stamped PB2110, that’s polybutylene. Tell us on the phone so the plumber brings the right fittings.

Where your shutoff valves are, with photos, is worth ten minutes on a calm day.

Fairfax Water, the county, or you

Whose pipe is it in Centreville, and who to call first

Centreville is on Fairfax Water and Fairfax County sewer. The county puts the whole lateral on the owner, out to the main and under the street, and Fairfax Water leaves the service line from the meter to the house to you.

Centreville calls

The plumbing emergencies Centreville houses have most

What to do while you wait, and what the repair runs.

Grey polybutylene pipe that let go

Close the main and open the lowest tap. Don’t try to clamp a PB fitting yourself.

Centreville’s typical house went up around 1990, right in the polybutylene years. It cracks at the crimp fittings, usually without warning. The repair usually runs $450 to $650, and our polybutylene guide explains when a full repipe makes sense.

Banging pipes and a leaking relief valve

Note when it bangs: a washer filling, a toilet shutting off.

A worn pressure regulator lets house pressure climb, and the water heater’s relief valve starts to drip. It isn’t a 2 a.m. call unless water is on the floor, but it’s worth fixing before a supply line gives out.

Sewage at a basement floor drain

Stop using water, then call the county if you think its main is blocked.

If the main is flowing, clearing your lateral runs $550 to $1,650, and a camera look on the same visit, $89, shows roots or a broken joint. Drain and sewer line prices.

A leak you can hear but not see

Turn off every fixture and listen near the slab and the walls on the lowest floor.

Finding it runs $200 to $500, before any drywall comes down. Fairfax Water can adjust the bill for an unknown underground leak once it’s fixed. How leak detection works.

A gas smell

Get out of the house first, and make the call from the street.

Don’t flip a switch or start a car in the garage. Call 911 or Washington Gas at 844-927-4427 from outside. When the gas company has the leak made safe, our plumbers in Centreville track it down on your side of the meter and repair the line. Gas line repair.

Questions from Centreville

Centreville emergency plumbing questions, answered

What does a 24 hour plumber cost in Centreville?

$250 for the visit after hours, nights, weekends and holidays, and $49 on a weekday. The plumber finds what failed, then prices the repair for your OK. Most burst or leaking water pipes are $450 to $650.

Is grey polybutylene pipe in my Centreville house going to burst?

It’s the pipe most likely to. Seven in ten Centreville homes went up between 1980 and 1999, the years builders used grey polybutylene supply pipe, often stamped PB2110. It fails at the fittings and gets brittle with age. We replace the run that failed that night, and a whole-house repipe is its own written price.

Where’s the water shutoff in a Centreville townhouse?

On the lowest level, just inside the foundation wall where the water line comes in, with the pressure reducing valve right next to it. Fairfax County’s plumbing code has required that regulator on homes built after December 4, 1972, so nearly every Centreville house has one.

My pipes bang when a faucet shuts off. Is that an emergency?

Not tonight, unless something is leaking. Banging, called water hammer, usually means the pressure regulator has drifted and house pressure is running high, which wears out toilet valves, faucets and the water heater. Book a daytime visit and we’ll put a gauge on it.

Who handles a sewer backup in Centreville?

Call Fairfax County’s 24-hour line first if the county main might be blocked; it sends an inspector. If the main is flowing, the problem is your lateral, which in Fairfax County is the owner’s all the way to the main, under the street too. That’s ours, day or night.

Do you come to Centreville on weekends and holidays?

Yes, at the same $250 after-hours visit any night, weekend or holiday, from our Chantilly shop just up Route 28. A person answers (703) 997-9757 every hour of the year.
