Plumbing in Springfield, VA
Local notes on your water utility, common problems and rebates, plus what we can help with.
Springfield is in Fairfax County, and Fairfax Water supplies the drinking water. We work in Fairfax County often. Many neighborhoods have houses with basements and long main drain lines to the street, so a drain that keeps backing up is usually a question of what is in the main line and how far it runs.
We handle drains and sewer lines, water service lines, pressure problems, water heaters, fixtures and gas lines for Springfield homeowners.
What to know in Springfield
- Lead line letters
- Fairfax Water has been sending letters to customers to inventory service lines of unknown material. A news report in November 2024 said roughly 20 lead lines had been found out of about 137,000 customers contacted. If you got a letter, an unknown does not mean lead, but it does mean the utility needs your help to find out.
- High water pressure
- Houses on a hill can have higher street pressure. If your taps spit, pipes bang, or the water heater relief valve drips, a pressure gauge on an outdoor spigot tells you whether a pressure reducing valve is needed.
- Heat pump water heater rebate
- Dominion Energy Virginia has a heat pump water heater rebate, but sources conflict on the amount. Confirm your electric provider and the current amount before you buy.
