Hampton Roads homes

Plumbing problems that come with living in Hampton Roads

Older houses, low ground and a lot of water. Here's what our Norfolk crew sees most, and how we handle it.

Older homes

Cast iron, galvanized and old boilers

More than half of Norfolk's homes were built before 1970. Houses that age often still have cast iron drains, galvanized supply lines and boilers with radiators. Our crew repairs what can be saved and replaces what can't, and doesn't turn down the job because of the house's age.

Rising water

Tidal flooding, sump pumps and backups

Sea level at Sewells Point is rising about 1.6 feet per century, partly because the land itself is sinking, and Norfolk set a record for high-tide flood days in 2023 to 2024. A working sump pump and a clear sewer line help keep water out of crawlspaces and basements.

Your water line

The line from the meter to your house

The City of Norfolk says the water line from the meter box to the house belongs to the homeowner, and homes built before 1988 may have a lead service line. Backflow devices on irrigation systems must be tested every year. We handle water line replacement and backflow testing.

Our Norfolk story

Norfolk Plumbing since 2001. Powell's since 2022.

Norfolk Plumbing started in 2001 with one man and a truck, and joined Powell's in 2022. It's still the same people Hampton Roads customers already knew, working out of the Chelsea Business District on the edge of Ghent.

Today 17 people and 19 trucks cover Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Newport News, Suffolk and Isle of Wight County. Their specialty is the homes other companies won't touch: cast iron drains, galvanized supply lines and old boilers with radiators.
