Most repairs are one section of pipe: the split or pinhole cut out and a new piece put in. Where the pipe sits decides most of the price. Exposed in a basement ceiling is the low end; inside a finished wall is higher, and we tell you before the drywall comes open.
With Comfort+ membership, any repair is 15% off, and every year includes a plumbing safety inspection that looks at the supply pipe you can see.
What’s different in Fort Belvoir
Start with where you live. Family housing on the post belongs to The Villages at Belvoir, and a leak there goes in as a service request, with 24-hour emergency maintenance, not to a plumber you hire. We’d rather say so than take your call and send you a bill for something your housing partner covers. The rest of this page is for the homes with a Fort Belvoir address that sit outside the gate.
Cook Inlet is the main off-post neighborhood: 148 detached houses and 108 townhouses, built from 2002 to 2005, every one with a full basement. These are PEX and copper houses, so a leak is rarely the pipe. It’s the fitting at the water heater, the supply line behind a washer, the hose bib, or a connection in the finished basement ceiling. Water finds the drywall below, and with a finished basement the first sign is often a stain. In the townhouses, shared walls bring up the usual question of whose pipe it is.
Backlick Road, along Accotink, is a different set of houses entirely. The county’s records show most of its dwellings from 1925 or 1978, and about half have no basement. A 1925 house may still have galvanized steel in a wall, a leak at a threaded joint, and rust-colored water first thing in the morning. A 1978 house sits in the polybutylene years, so look for gray plastic with crimp rings near the water heater. Without a basement, the pipes run through a crawl space or under a slab, and a leak there shows up as a high water bill or a warm spot on the floor.
The water comes from Fairfax Water, typically through its Griffith plant on the Occoquan, with a meter at the street. A fast check on any house: shut every tap and watch the meter dial for ten minutes. If it moves, water is leaving somewhere. About nine in ten homes in the ZIP are rented, so a landlord and a tenant often both need to hear what we find, and we write it up for both.
What you’d notice
If a house has no basement and a hot water line runs under the floor, a leak can warm the slab or soak the carpet from underneath. Check the meter first. If it moves with every tap off, call us before the floor gets worse.
A brown ring under a bathroom, or a soft spot in the drywall, is water that’s been finding its way down for a while. A supply pipe leaks all the time; a drain only leaks when somebody runs water upstairs, and that difference tells us where to look first.
Turn everything off and watch the water meter for ten minutes. If the dial or the little leak indicator still moves, water is going somewhere, inside a wall, under a slab or out in the yard.
A bill that’s a third higher with nobody new in the house is often a running toilet, and sometimes a pipe. The meter test above sorts out which in a few minutes.

Before the first hard freeze
A pipe usually bursts in the hours after a cold snap, when the ice inside it thaws and the split starts to run. Five things to do before it gets that cold, then call us if something already looks wrong.
Disconnect every garden hose. A hose left on traps water in the spigot, and that’s the most common split we see. If the spigot has a shutoff inside the house, close it and open the outside tap to drain it.
A kitchen or bathroom sink on an outside wall gets the coldest air in the house. On the coldest nights, open the cabinet doors so room heat reaches the pipes, and let that tap drip.
Close crawl space vents and the garage door for the winter. Pipes that run through a crawl space, a garage ceiling or an unheated room over the garage are the ones that freeze first.
Find it now, before you need it: usually where the water line comes through the basement or crawl space wall, near the meter or the water heater. Make sure it turns. When a pipe bursts, that valve is the difference between a mop and a contractor.
Keep the thermostat at 55 or higher while you’re gone, and ask someone to look in if a cold snap comes. A frozen pipe that thaws with nobody home runs for days.
Find a pipe that’s frozen, or water where it shouldn’t be? Shut the main off and call us at (703) 997-9757. A diagnosis visit is $49, or $250 after hours, and you get the repair price before we cut into anything.
Your pipes, your paperwork
In Fairfax County the homeowner owns the whole sewer lateral, from the house to the county main, including the stretch under the street. Replacing it takes a county plumbing permit, plus a VDOT permit under a state road. Source.
Fairfax Water promises 20 psi at the main and no uniform pressure, and the pressure reducing valve on your side of the meter is yours to buy and keep up. Over 80 psi, the Virginia Residential Code calls for one, and an expansion tank with it. Source.
Our Virginia Class A contractor license, 2705192276, is on the side of the van.
Choosing who fixes it
Questions worth asking anybody who comes out, us included.
If you rent, the owner usually has to approve the work. A plumber who knows Fort Belvoir asks that on the phone and offers to speak to your landlord, so you aren’t stuck in the middle.
Anyone can check on the state’s license lookup. Ours is Virginia Class A contractor license, on every van.
A good leak call starts at the meter and the shutoffs, then narrows it down with pressure and moisture readings. The drywall comes open in one spot, not five.
Every repair on our list has a range, and you hear where yours lands before anything is cut. If someone won’t say until the job is done, keep looking.

They managed to come the same day that I called about a leak which was helpful. They cut into my ceiling (where the leak was coming from), identified it, and was able to fix it there and then. Much appreciated and seemed a reasonable price.

Questions
No. Put in a service request with The Villages, which runs 24-hour emergency maintenance for on-post homes. If you live off the post with a 22060 address, that’s us, and we’ll be glad to come.
Shut the water to that run if you can, and put a bucket under it. A drip at a fitting is often a small repair. The trouble is the drywall below, and the sooner we see it the less of the ceiling has to come down.
Shut off the main water valve, then turn off the water heater (gas to pilot, or the breaker for electric). Open a faucet at the lowest point of the house to drain what’s left in the pipes. Then call (703) 997-9757: a person answers day or night, and our emergency plumbing team is on 24/7.
A plumbing diagnosis visit is $49, or $250 after hours. Finding a leak you can’t see is $200 to $500, and most water pipe repairs run $450 to $650. You get the number before we start.
Ready when you are
Shut off the main, then call, or send the form at the top. You get the price before the work, and if it can wait until morning, we’ll tell you that too.
