Water stain on the ceiling? Spike in your water bill? We track down hidden leaks fast — then fix them for good, whether that means a simple pipe repair or a full repipe of your home's aging plumbing.
Prince William County has a particular reputation among plumbers for polybutylene piping, the gray plastic supply lines installed in homes built roughly between 1978 and 1995. Neighborhoods across Dale City, Montclair, and parts of Woodbridge were plumbed almost entirely with polybutylene, and the chlorine in the municipal water supply has been slowly degrading these pipes from the inside for decades. We have repiped hundreds of Prince William homes to replace polybutylene with modern PEX, and we consider it one of the most important investments a homeowner in these neighborhoods can make.
The polybutylene era and Prince William County's biggest building boom overlap almost perfectly, which means a substantial portion of the county's housing stock contains piping that the industry now considers a known failure risk. Homeowners who have not yet experienced a polybutylene failure are on borrowed time, and proactive repiping is far less disruptive than emergency flood restoration.
Polybutylene supply lines in 1980s and early 1990s Prince William County homes become brittle from prolonged chlorine exposure and fail without warning, often splitting along straight runs rather than just at fittings.
Homes near the Occoquan Reservoir and Potomac River shoreline sit on expansive clay soils that shift seasonally, stressing underground supply lines and creating joint separations that leak into crawl spaces.
Townhome communities built during Prince William's 1980s-1990s growth phase share party walls where a slow leak on one side can migrate through the firewall and damage the adjacent unit before either homeowner notices.
