Falls Church Pipe Leak Repair | Veteran Plumbing Services
A Slow Drip Could Cost You Thousands Later
Hi, I’m Dennis Rollins, a retired U.S. Navy Chief and owner of Veteran Plumbing Services.
I’ve seen it more times than I can count: a tiny leak behind the wall in a Falls Church home that goes ignored… until it turns into water stains, warped floors, mold, and a repair bill that makes your stomach drop.
Let me explain why even a slow pipe leak can become a significant threat, and how we catch these problems before they destroy your home from the inside out.
The Hidden Danger of Small Pipe Leaks
Some leaks are apparent.
You see a puddle under your sink or water dripping from the ceiling.
But others stay hidden inside the walls or under your floors. These slow leaks often come from:
What I Find in Falls Church Homes:
- Loose or worn-out copper fittings
- PVC joints that weren’t sealed right
- Corrosion in older galvanized pipes
- Small cracks caused by freezing and thawing
These leaks might just “sweat” at first—barely noticeable. But they don’t stop on their own. Over time, water soaks into wood, drywall, and insulation.
That’s when you start seeing mold, mildew, and significant structural damage.
Why Falls Church Homes Are Especially At Risk
Falls Church has a mix of older homes with outdated plumbing and newer renovations that sometimes cut corners.
Add in our humid weather and cold winters, and pipe leaks become a recipe for mold growth and wood rot.
I’ve even found leaks caused by poor installation during previous remodeling jobs, pipe joints under tension, or plastic pipes too close to hot fixtures.
All it takes is a few drops a minute to weaken your walls and foundation.
How I Find and Fix Pipe Leaks Before They Spread
When I’m called to check a possible leak in Falls Church, I start by checking pressure, moisture levels, and hidden spots with thermal imaging.
If I suspect something more profound, I can open up a section of wall surgically, not destructively.
Then I fix the issue with high-quality fittings and pressure-tested repairs.
If it’s an older home with recurring issues, I’ll discuss repiping options with you so you’re not constantly chasing leaks year after year.
Don’t Wait for the Wall to Crack
If your water bill’s been creeping up, you notice a musty smell, or your drywall feels soft, don’t ignore it.
A small leak today can cost you a new ceiling, ruined flooring, or worse, tomorrow.
