FAQs
What is your process for diagnosing and fixing old pipe leaks, a common issue in Fairfax homes?
We approach old pipe leaks common in the area with a thorough inspection, often using camera technology to pinpoint the exact location and cause of the failure. For repairs, we focus on durable, code-compliant solutions, whether that involves a targeted section repair or a recommendation for a more comprehensive pipe replacement to prevent future issues, always prioritizing the integrity of your home's plumbing system.
Do you handle gas line installations for outdoor features like kitchens or pool heaters?
Yes, we regularly work with landscape and pool contractors to install and repair gas lines for outdoor appliances. This requires specific knowledge of high-BTU equipment, like 400,000 BTU pool heaters, and adherence to strict safety codes. We ensure gas lines are properly sized, installed in trenches with consideration for water and drain lines, and tested for safety before the appliance is connected.
My main drain is blocked. What methods do you use to clear it?
For main drain stoppages, we employ a multi-step approach. We use a progression of different power snakes to effectively clear the obstruction. Following the clearing, we often deploy a drain camera to visually inspect the pipe's interior. This allows us to confirm the blockage is gone and identify its root cause, such as tree roots or a broken pipe, so we can advise on any necessary repairs to prevent a recurrence.
