Water where it shouldn’t be

Before you call: the first five minutes in a Chantilly house

On the 20151 side, Fairfax Water suggests marking the main valve so anyone in the house can close it fast. Marked or not, do these in order.

  1. Close the main shutoff. It’s where the water line comes into the house, usually on a basement or crawl space wall near the water meter, or beside the water heater. A round handle turns clockwise until it stops. A lever turns a quarter turn, until it sits across the pipe.
  2. Open the lowest faucet in the house. A basement sink or a laundry tub. It drains what’s left in the pipes and takes the pressure off the leak.
  3. Keep water away from electricity. If water is reaching an outlet, the panel or an appliance, and you can reach a dry breaker without standing in water, switch it off. If you’d have to stand in water to reach it, stay out of that room.
  4. Call, and say what you’ve already shut off. A person answers, day or night. What’s leaking, where, and which valves you closed tells the plumber what to bring.

On a dry day, take ten minutes to find your shutoff valves and label the main. If a pipe has already split, read what to do with a burst pipe.

Two water companies in Chantilly: who to call first

20151 is on Fairfax Water and Fairfax County sewer. 20152, the South Riding side, is on Loudoun Water. The rules split on the sewer line, so check your bill: Fairfax County puts the whole lateral on the homeowner, and Loudoun Water handles the stretch under the street.

The usual Chantilly emergencies

Common plumbing emergencies in Chantilly, and what each needs

What to do for each one until the plumber gets there, and what the repair runs.

A burst or frozen pipe

Close the main, open the lowest faucet, and thaw anything frozen with room heat, never an open flame.

Fairfax County Fire and Rescue’s cold-snap advice: shut off and empty the hose bibs, and let warm air reach the pipes under sinks on outside walls. The line out to the hose bib is usually the first to split. The plumber cuts out what failed, and you see the price before anything else gets opened up. Burst pipe and leak repair.

Sewage at the lowest drain

Stop using water everywhere in the house, the washer and dishwasher included.

Water rising in a basement floor drain or the lowest shower when the washer empties means the main line out of the house is blocked. Clearing it runs $550 to $1,650, and a camera look added to the same visit, $89, shows whose pipe it’s in: yours, or the stretch under the street that Loudoun Water looks after in 20152. Drain and sewer line prices.

A leaking water heater

Close the cold water valve on top of the tank, then turn the gas control to off, or switch off the breaker on an electric one.

Water heaters are a bigger share of our Chantilly work than in most towns, and a lot of the South Riding originals are at the age tanks give out. A tank leaking from its body can’t be repaired, and a new water heater runs $2,750 to $10,500 (water heater prices). From about $46 a month at 0% APR for 60 months, the whole price financed, on approved credit. How financing works.

A sump pump that quits in a storm

Check that it’s plugged in, that its breaker hasn’t tripped, and that the float isn’t stuck against the side of the pit.

If the pump is dead, a new one in the pit you have is $697 installed. If it only needs a repair, that’s on sump pump repair.

An ejector pump alarm

Stop using the basement bathroom, the laundry and any sink that drains to the pump.

The alarm means the basin is filling and the pump isn’t emptying it. Keep sending water down there and it backs up into the basement fixtures. Sewage ejector pumps.

A gas smell

Leave first. Get everyone out, don’t flip a switch or light anything, and call 911 or Washington Gas at 844-927-4427 from outside.

Once the utility has made it safe, our plumbers find and fix the leak on your side of the meter. Gas line repair.

Asked on the phone

Chantilly emergency plumbing questions, answered straight

How much does an emergency plumber cost in Chantilly?

After hours the plumbing visit is $250, and in regular hours the same visit is $49. The plumber finds what failed, and the repair is priced on top, in writing, before any work starts. Most burst or leaking water pipe repairs run $450 to $650.

Do you send emergency plumbers to South Riding?

Yes. South Riding, 20152, is part of our Chantilly area and gets the same 24/7 service and the same $250 after-hours visit. A person answers (703) 997-9757 around the clock.

Who owns the sewer line from my Chantilly house?

In 20151, you do, all of it: Fairfax County puts the whole lateral on the homeowner, out to the county main and under the street. In 20152 you keep up the building sewer, Loudoun Water handles the stretch under the street, and on a backup its rules say to call it first.

What do I do about a frozen pipe in Chantilly?

Thaw it with room heat, never an open flame, which is Fairfax County Fire and Rescue’s advice too. If it has already split, close the main and call. Before the next cold snap, shut off and drain the hose bibs and let warm air reach the pipes under sinks on outside walls.

How fast can an emergency plumber get to Chantilly?

We answer day or night, and we will tell you honestly when we can get there. Say what’s leaking and what you’ve already shut off, and you’ll know when to expect us before you hang up.

Should I pay for after hours, or can it wait until morning?

Call now for water you can’t stop, sewage coming up a drain, a water heater leaking from the tank, or a sump pump that’s quit in a storm. No hot water with no leak, one clogged toilet in a house with two, or a slow drip under a sink can wait for the $49 visit in the morning. Not sure? Call and ask. If it can safely wait, we’ll tell you so.

What should I do if I smell gas?

Get everyone out, don’t flip a switch or light anything, and call 911 or Washington Gas at 844-927-4427 from outside. Once the utility has made it safe, we repair the gas line on your side of the meter.

Are your emergency plumbers subcontractors?

No. Every plumber who comes to your house works for SwiftPro and drives a SwiftPro truck, under our Virginia Class A contractor license #2705192276.
