Plumbing Services In Virginia Areas

It may be hard to notice a water line leak if it’s small, but over time, leaking pipes can cause damage to your house and your yard or serious structural issues if the leak is close to the home’s foundation. If you notice consistent drops in water pressure, a permanently wet spot in the yard, higher water bills even though you aren’t using more water, or start seeing water spots on your walls, it’s time for water line repair or replacement.

Sometimes, our licensed plumbers can repair the spot using non-invasive interior pipe sealant, but other times, we may need to replace the pipes. We start by using a specialized camera to view your home’s water lines and pinpoint any leaks. Then, we will make a recommendation as to the best course of action.

We can also help with emergency pipe replacement if you have a burst pipe. Turn off the water main and call the ALCO HVAC team immediately!

Did you know that the average lifespan of a residential water heater is only about 10-15 years? Tankless water heaters may last a little longer than traditional tanked water heaters, but if you can’t remember the last time you had your water heater serviced, it’s probably time to schedule a tune-up.

We perform preventative maintenance on both traditional and tankless water heaters, inspecting the tank for leaks and checking the ignition and heating elements of the appliance. ALCO HVAC also offers water heater repairs if you aren’t getting enough hot water or you’re having trouble keeping your pilot light on. The goal of an annual water heater service is to make small repairs before they become big emergencies, but sometimes, it’s more cost-effective to replace your water heater entirely.

The ALCO HVAC customer care team can help you learn about the features of different brands and models of traditional and tankless water heaters, whether you need to replace your old appliance, install a new one, or wish to convert from a traditional water heater to a tankless one. We offer full-service installation of every water heater we sell, including removing your old appliance and disposing of it, so you don’t have to.

Your home’s drains aren’t the most glamorous part of the house, but if they get clogged or aren’t working properly, they quickly become the most important part! If you notice standing water in a shower, tub, or sink, a puddle in your basement drains, or laundry room drains, or if your kitchen sink doesn’t drain, you probably need drain clearing service.

Professional drain clearing, including manually removing the clogs and then hydro-jetting the pipes to remove all the debris, preserves the condition of your pipes. Harsh drain clog removing chemicals can damage the interior of the pipes, eroding it and causing thin spots that are susceptible to breaking.

We begin drain cleaning services with a camera inspection of the drains, looking for the source, size, and consistency of the clog. Then, our plumbers remove the clog and flush the pipes until they are clear.
If you have consistently clogged drains, we may be able to re-pipe your home to solve your problem or look for other culprits, like tree roots, that must be removed to end the blockage.

Older homes may have lead pipes; while not used in newer homes, any house built before 1986 may have lead pipes or lead soldering in the plumbing. Over time, the corrosive effects of the water on lead causes toxic chemicals to leach into your home’s water supply, causing serious diseases like cancer and lead poisoning.

Lead detection is essential to keeping you and your family safe. Our plumbers can test your home’s water to determine if lead is present and if so, check your plumbing to see if the problem is the pipes, soldering, or both. Based on our findings, we make a recommendation and work with you for the least-invasive fix.
