What Happens During a Service Call

When you schedule plumbing service in Fairfax, the technician arrives with a truck stocked with common faucet parts, supply lines, drain assemblies, pipe fittings, and hand tools suited to residential plumbing systems. You point out the problem areas, and the team inspects for visible leaks, corrosion, water pressure issues, and worn components. Most repairs are completed during the visit, including replacing leaking shut-off valves, tightening loose drain connections, swapping out worn faucet cartridges, and reinstalling fixtures that were not sealed properly.

After the work is done, you will notice that the drip stops completely, the faucet handle turns smoothly and shuts off without force, and there is no moisture collecting under sinks or around drain connections. Water pressure returns to normal, and fixtures operate the way they should.

This service does not include sewer line replacement, water heater installation, or gas line work. It focuses on the repairs and upgrades that keep your plumbing functional and prevent damage to cabinets, floors, and walls. The work is particularly important during remodels, where proper installation of new fixtures prevents callbacks and future leaks.

What You Should Ask Before Scheduling

Homeowners preparing for plumbing service often ask whether a repair is sufficient or if replacement makes more sense, how long repairs will take, and what to do if leaks return. These questions help clarify what the service includes and when a more extensive fix is warranted.

What are the most common plumbing repairs in Fairfax homes?
Leaking shut-off valves, worn faucet cartridges, loose drain connections, and corroded supply lines are frequent issues. Most of these repairs are completed in under an hour once the problem is identified.
When should a fixture be replaced instead of repaired?
If the fixture body is corroded, the finish is worn through, or internal components are no longer available, replacement is usually the better option. The technician will assess and explain what makes sense.
How do you prevent leaks during a kitchen or bathroom remodel?
Proper sealing, torque on connections, and testing under pressure before finishing work are standard steps. The team also inspects supply lines and shut-off valves to ensure they are in good condition before installing new fixtures.
Why do faucets start dripping even after being turned off tightly?
Worn cartridges or valve seats inside the faucet prevent a full seal, allowing water to seep through. Replacing the internal components restores proper shutoff without needing to replace the entire fixture.
What should I do if a leak returns after a repair?
Contact the team immediately so they can inspect the repair and address any missed issues. Recurring leaks sometimes indicate a deeper problem such as high water pressure or corroded pipe threads that need attention.
