or $46/mo at 0% APR for 60 months
Monthly figures: 60mo @ 0% APR on each starting price, the whole price financed, on approved credit. Longer plans lower the payment and cost more in total. The lender sets the final terms. How financing works
A sewer camera inspection is $89 added to a visit we’re already making. It’s the cheapest way to know what a drain is doing before anybody talks about digging.
With Comfort+ membership, any service is 15% off, and a water heater flush with a sewer camera inspection and a plumbing safety inspection comes every year.
Recent work
What our technicians found and fixed on visits in Woodbridge, from their notes on each job.
October 2026
Both kitchen sinks backing up. The drain was snaked about 25 feet and a broken trap adapter replaced.
September 2026
A wet basement traced to a clogged floor drain, snaked clear. The same visit replaced a water heater past its service life, the main shutoff valve and the pressure reducing valve.
August 2026
A worn-out main water shutoff: the old gate valve was cut out and a quarter-turn ball valve put in its place.
What’s different in Woodbridge
Woodbridge holds three generations of pipe under one name. The oldest is around Route 1, in the Census place called Woodbridge, where about one home in nine predates 1960: galvanized steel supply that rusts shut from the inside, over cast iron drains. Dale City came next, about four in ten homes from before 1980, usually copper over cast iron. Lake Ridge, planned under a 1972 declaration, and Potomac Mills went up mostly in the 1980s and 90s, the years grey polybutylene supply pipe went in. Leesylvania and County Center, eight homes in ten built after 2000, usually run PEX or CPVC with plastic drains.
On Prince William Water’s sewer, the utility names what blocks the pipes: fats, oils and grease poured down the sink, and wipes, flushable label or not. Grease cools into a lining that catches whatever comes next. When a backup keeps returning, a sewer camera inspection shows a grease plug, a root or a sag before anybody prices a dig, and main sewer line cleaning runs $550 to $1,650.
Ground water belongs somewhere else. Prince William Water counts a sump pump, a gutter or a downspout tied into the sanitary sewer as an inappropriate connection, one of the causes of the sewage overflows it works to prevent. So a sump pump should empty outside, not into a floor drain or the laundry sink. Inside the Lake Ridge association, its guidelines add where: a drain line across the front yard has to be buried and pointed away from the neighbors, and a buried line has to end inside your own lot.
Neighborhood by neighborhood
Census figures for each place, and the pipe that usually goes with houses that age. Median year built and heat count owner-occupied homes only.
| Place | Median home built | Most homes are | Heated with | The pipe you usually find |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dale City | 1983 | single-family houses, about 7 in 10 | gas, about 7 in 10 | The polybutylene years: check the supply pipe; PVC drains. |
| Lake Ridge | 1985 | townhouses, about 4 in 10 | electricity, about 5 in 10 | The polybutylene years: check the supply pipe; PVC drains. |
| Woodbridge | 1976 | single-family houses, about 4 in 10 | gas, about 5 in 10 | Copper supply, cast iron drains. |
| Leesylvania | 2006 | single-family houses, about 4 in 10 | gas, about 6 in 10 | Copper or PEX supply, PVC drains, original water heaters aging out. |
| Potomac Mills | 1988 | single-family houses, about 6 in 10 | electricity, about 7 in 10 | The polybutylene years: check the supply pipe; PVC drains. |
| County Center | 2006 | townhouses, about 4 in 10 | gas, about 6 in 10 | Copper or PEX supply, PVC drains, original water heaters aging out. |
By the numbers
From the Census Bureau’s 2020 to 2024 survey. Median year built and heat count owner-occupied homes only.
What you’d notice
Prince William Water rates its water moderately hard, and its 2025 entry-point tests ran 2.6 to 10.5 grains per gallon. That leaves scale in aerators and shower heads, so a faucet that sputters is often an aerator you can unscrew and soak in vinegar. Pressure that drops at every tap at once is a different story, and a plumber’s.
Polybutylene, often stamped PB, went into houses from about 1978 to 1995. It tends to let go at the fittings with no warning, so it’s worth knowing whether you have it.
A damp patch on a ceiling, a warm spot on the floor, a meter that keeps ticking with every tap off. A slow leak inside a wall does most of its damage before it ever shows itself.
One slow sink is a sink. Two slow drains on different floors are sharing the pipe out to the street, and a basement drain that gurgles while you run water upstairs is the main line talking.
After a heavy rain
Heavy rain finds the weak spots in a house’s plumbing. Four checks you can make yourself, then call us and we’ll look at the rest.
Clear water with no smell is usually groundwater. Gray water, or a sewer smell, means the main line is backing up: stop running water in the house and call us.
A main line with a cracked joint or roots in it can take in groundwater during a storm and slow down. A sewer camera inspection, $89 added to a visit, shows where.
If the house has one, watch it once: it should start as the pit fills, empty it and shut off. Our sump pump replacement page has the rest of the checks.
If floodwater got to a gas water heater’s burner or controls, leave it off. Don’t relight it until a plumber has checked it.
Call us after a storm and we’ll check it all: the floor drains, the main line, the sump pump and the water heater. Any repair gets its price in writing before the work starts.
Your pipes, your paperwork
Prince William Water requires its own Lateral Repair or Replacement Permit, and its inspection, before anyone repairs or replaces a sewer lateral outside the house. Source.
Prince William Water says the pressure reducing valve is the homeowner’s to install and keep up, that the plumbing code recommends one where pressure runs 80 psi or more, and that pressure rises with the height difference between your house and the water tank serving it. Source.

Choosing a plumber
Questions worth asking anybody who comes out, us included.
A pump that discharges into a floor drain or a laundry sink is feeding ground water to the sewer. A plumber who swaps the pump and leaves that line alone has fixed half the problem. Ask where the water goes before you pay for a new pump.
Anyone can check on the state’s license lookup in about a minute. It’s the one question that takes the guesswork out of the rest.
A sewer camera inspection is cheap next to any dig, and it shows whether the problem is a root, a sag or a break. A quote to dig without one is a guess.
Every plumbing job on our list has a range. A plumber who won’t say where yours lands until the wall’s open is asking for a blank check.

Tyson was wonderful; professional, very knowledgeable, thorough and fast. He was great at telling me about what was needed, and I very much appreciated that. For the next plumbing problem we have, I will have SwiftPro on speed dial.

Questions
Not when the new one sits on the same drain and supply. Prince William County’s no-permit list covers swapping a toilet, tub, sink or garbage disposal as long as the pipes behind it don’t change. Moving the toilet, or reworking the drain under it, is permit work. Toilet repair runs $250 to $900 on our list.
Prince William Water. Sewage spilling from a manhole or out of the ground is an overflow from its system, and the utility asks you to stay clear of it and report it to its emergency dispatch line. If it’s rising through your own floor drain or lowest toilet, call us: the camera shows whether the blockage is in your line or in the main.
Yes. Prince William County requires one for installing a lawn irrigation system, for the backflow device that keeps water in the sprinkler lines from siphoning back into the drinking water.
It depends on the job, and every one has a published range: drain cleaning for one fixture $200 to $800, main sewer line cleaning $550 to $1,650, leak detection $200 to $500, a pressure reducing valve replacement $500 to $1,000, toilet repair $250 to $900. A sewer camera inspection added to a visit is $89.
