What all your neighbors

In Northern Virginia Are Saying

★★★★★

I have been looking for a reliable plumber for many years and I believe I have found one with Potomac Plumbing & Gas. We had the pilot light go out on our old water heater. Brandon came out within a few hours after my call. He was able to diagnose the issue quickly and provide a very detailed estimate on a new and improved water heater. Brandon and team were able to come back and install the new water heater that same day. During the installation they found a small leak coming from a pipe in our utility closet. Brandon and team were able to identify the source and have it repaired same day. The whole team is friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a plumber in the area.

★★★★★

After meeting with several companies, we went with PP&G to replace our leaking water heater. They were, without question, the most responsive and helpful company we spoke with. Zach and Matt worked quickly and cleanly but took the necessary time to answer our questions. Again, we felt heard and understood. I am confident in the quality of their work and would gladly work with them again on another project.
Ben Mellott

★★★★★

Installed a gas shutoff valve and regulator inside house for service upgrade. Very professional, showed me exactly what they were going to do. After completing their work the technicians waited until gas company had completed service upgrade then did a thorough leak check and restarted all gas appliances.
Matthew Durant

★★★★★

Potomac Plumbing came to my house to assess an issue with water leaking. The leakage turned out not to be a plumbing issue. Potomac Plumbing employees were very helpful, professional, and knowledgeable.
Michelle Green

★★★★★

Once again, a stellar experience with Potomac Plumbing. Brandon, Zack and their team took excellent care in diagnosing the plumbing issues I was having and came up with a sound and cost-effective way to solve the issue which was causing water to back fill into the sink on occasion. They also installed a new sump pump in this older house of mine, and even took a call from me one night when the alarm went off unexpectedly. Everyone on their team is courteous, professional, and truly work to listen so they can work to solve the issue at hand. Their efforts and professionalism keep them as my only contact under Plumbers. I always love supporting a family-owned business and am thankful to have them as part of the local community.

Frequently Asked Questions

Understanding your home’s plumbing system can help you catch problems early and save on repair costs. We have compiled a list of common inquiries to help you stay informed about your property’s needs. If you have a specific concern not listed here, our friendly team is always ready to provide the answers you need.

How do I know if my water heater needs to be replaced?
If your unit is over a decade old, showing signs of rust, or making loud banging noises, it might be time for a change. Frequent repairs and rising energy bills are also clear indicators that a newer, more efficient model would be a better investment. We can evaluate your current system to see if a repair is possible or if a replacement is necessary.
What causes low water pressure throughout the house?
Several factors can lead to a drop in pressure, including clogged pipes, a failing pressure regulator, or leaks in the main line. In some cases, it might be a localized issue with a specific fixture or a problem with the municipal supply. Our experts use diagnostic tools to pinpoint the exact cause and restore the strong flow you expect for your daily needs.
Is a tankless water heater worth the initial investment?
While the upfront cost is higher, tankless models offer significant long-term savings by only heating water on demand. They take up much less space and provide a continuous supply of hot water, which is great for large families. Most homeowners find that the increased efficiency and convenience more than justify the initial price of the installation over time.
How often should I have my sump pump inspected?
It is wise to test your sump pump at least once a year, preferably before the rainy season begins. We check the pit for debris, test the float switch, and verify that the discharge line is clear of obstructions. Regular maintenance prevents basement flooding and gives you the confidence that your home is protected during the heaviest storms.
Why does my well pump keep cycling on and off?
Frequent cycling often points to a problem with the pressure tank, such as a ruptured bladder or a loss of air charge. It could also indicate a leak in the plumbing or a failing check valve within the system. Addressing this quickly is vital, as constant cycling can burn out the pump motor, leading to a much more expensive replacement.

We hope these answers provide clarity on some of the most common issues homeowners face with their water systems. Keeping your home in top shape starts with education and ends with professional service you can rely on. Feel free to reach out to our staff for more detailed information regarding any of these topics.
