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 Vienna
Half the owner homes in the Town of Vienna were built in 1972 or earlier. Copper was the standard supply pipe in that stretch, and it can last a long time, but a half century of hard water and high pressure is about when pinholes start. They don’t announce themselves. A green crust on an elbow, a damp spot on the basement ceiling, a water bill that crept up, and then one morning a spray from a hole the size of a pin. When a Vienna caller says the leak is new, we usually find it’s been going a while.
The older third of town, houses from before 1960, is a different job. Those lines are often steel that was swapped for copper in pieces, so the pipe might change material three times between the meter and the kitchen. We follow the run rather than guess, and where a section is clearly done we say so, then price replacing that section and nothing around it. Plaster walls and tight finished basements mean small access holes, patched properly, not a gutted wall.
Newer Vienna is different again. A quarter of homes in town were built after 2000, and the leaks there come from plastic tubing, valves and fittings, a pressed connection that wasn’t seated, or a hose bib that froze because it was never drained. Those repairs are usually quick, and we’d rather tell you that than turn a ten minute fitting into a repipe.
Wolf Trap, on the county side, is almost all single-family houses, and about a third of them went up in the 1980s and 90s. That is the window for gray polybutylene supply pipe, so look under a sink or at the water heater for gray tubing with crimped rings. If you find it, call before it fails, not after, because it tends to let go at the fitting. One in ten homes inside the town is a townhouse, where a leak can show up on the other side of a shared wall, so shut your own main first.
Neighborhood by neighborhood
Census figures for each place, and the supply pipe that usually goes with houses that age. Median year built and heat count owner-occupied homes only.
| Place | Median home built | Most homes are | Heated with | The supply pipe you usually find |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wolf Trap | 1980 | single-family houses, nearly all | gas, about 7 in 10 | The polybutylene years: check the supply pipe at the fittings. |
| Vienna | 1972 | single-family houses, about 8 in 10 | gas, about 8 in 10 | Copper supply, old enough for pinholes. |
By the numbers
From the Census Bureau’s 2020 to 2024 survey. Median year built and heat count owner-occupied homes only.
Nearly the whole town sits in 22180, which it shares with county streets toward Dunn Loring and Merrifield.
Vienna mail outside the town line: Wolf Trap and the Tysons edge in 22182, the Oakton side of 22181, Dunn Loring. The figures are Wolf Trap’s, the biggest piece.
What you’d notice
Shut off the water to the house, then check the stain over the next hour. If it stops growing, the leak is on the supply side. If it keeps growing, it’s a drain or something already soaked in. Tell us which and we plan the first hour accordingly.
Galvanized steel pipe rusts from the inside, and the threads at each fitting go first. Brown water after the tap sits, or a damp drip at a joint in the basement, usually means more of that pipe is close behind.
Old copper fails in pinholes: a fine mist or a green crust on a pipe in the basement ceiling. One pinhole is a repair. Several in a year on the same run is the pipe telling you it’s thinning everywhere.
Polybutylene, often stamped PB, went into houses from about 1978 to 1995. It tends to fail at the fittings without much warning, so a drip at one joint is a reason to look at the rest.

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
On Town of Vienna water and sewer, the owner signs an agreement to maintain the sewer connection from the Town’s main to the house, and the water line from the main or the meter to the house. Source.
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.

Choosing who fixes it
Questions worth asking anybody who comes out, us included.
One pinhole after fifty years usually means more are coming, and we’ll tell you that. But a repair is a legitimate answer, and we’ll price the repair and the bigger option side by side so the choice stays yours.
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
Look for green or white crust on copper, a drip you can’t trace, water that comes out brown after sitting, and pressure that sags in one bathroom only. Any two together is a good reason to book a visit. See our pipe repair page for what the visit covers.
Usually. We shut off sections to find which line is wet, then open a hole near that line, not the whole wall, and patch it ready for paint.
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.
