Do Falls Church Homes Need Repiping? Know the Signs Before It’s Too Late
If your home’s older than your water heater, read this
Hey, I’m Dennis Rollins, U.S. Navy Veteran and owner of Veteran Plumbing Services.
I’ve worked in hundreds of Falls Church homes, and one question comes up again and again: “Do I really need to replace my pipes?”
My honest answer? If your plumbing is older than your roof or if you’re experiencing issues such as rusty water, low pressure, or random leaks, you probably do.
How long should your pipes last?
It depends on what kind of piping your home has:
- Copper pipes last about 50 years
- Galvanized steel can last up to 40 years—but often starts corroding before that
- Polybutylene (common in 70s–90s homes) fails way sooner
- PEX can last 40–50 years but only if installed right
If your Falls Church home is more than 40 years old and hasn’t been repiped, you’re probably overdue for an inspection.
Signs it’s time to repipe:
- Discolored or rusty water
- Frequent pinhole leaks
- Low water pressure throughout the home
- Water damage or stains on ceilings or walls
- Strange odors from faucets
- Visible corrosion on exposed pipes
Why wait until disaster strikes?
A repipe project might sound intimidating, but I will walk you through the whole process.
I use modern PEX or copper—whatever’s best for your setup—and I only cut where needed.
No big mess, no guesswork.
I also handle permits and inspections, so you don’t have to deal with failed code checks later.
How long does repiping take?
Most repiping jobs in Falls Church take 2–3 days, depending on the size and layout of your home.
I always aim to minimize water interruptions, and you’ll know exactly what to expect at every step of the way.
Don’t ignore old pipes until it’s too late.
