Leaky pipe, low water pressure or no water at all? A licensed plumber finds the cause, tells you the price in writing and fixes most problems on the first visit.
Available in: Norfolk, Winchester & Wilmington
Most plumbing problems start small: a drip, a gurgle, a bill that jumped. That's the time to call.
Powell's plumbing repair covers the everyday problems in your water and drain lines. Our trucks are stocked with common parts, so most repairs are finished on the first visit.
Before anything is fixed, your plumber shows you what's wrong and what it costs. You approve a written, flat-rate price first, and we clean up before we leave.
Every job is done to code and to the manufacturer's specifications by licensed, trained plumbers, backed by a 30-day labor warranty plus the manufacturer's parts warranty.

Low water pressure from aerators.
Miles, plumbing technician, Norfolk, on a problem he sees all the time
If it's one faucet, unscrew the aerator and rinse out the grit. If it's the whole house, the problem is further up the line.
No water at all? Check with your water utility or a neighbor. If they have water, the problem is on your side.
Make sure the main shut-off is all the way open, especially after recent work.
No water or pressure that comes and goes usually means the pump or pressure tank. Our well team can help.

Most plumbing problems are a single part or section of pipe. When the whole system is the problem, we'll say so and show you why.
Leaks, worn valves, failed fittings and noisy lines are usually repaired the same visit.
We won't push a replacement when a repair will do.
Older galvanized or corroded lines that keep leaking are better replaced than patched.
Your plumber explains the options, from one section to a whole-home repipe.

Cost, timing and the problems we see most.
If it's one faucet, a clogged aerator is the usual cause. If it's the whole house, it could be a partly closed main valve, a failing pressure regulator, a hidden leak or a problem on the utility's side. Your plumber will test the pressure and find out which.
Check with your water utility or a neighbor first. If they have water, the problem is on your side: a closed or failed main valve, a frozen line in winter, or a leak on the service line. If you're on a well, it's usually the well pump or pressure tank.
Most everyday repairs are finished in one visit, often within a couple of hours. If a special part is needed, we'll tell you up front and book the return visit before we leave.
Every repair is done to code and to the manufacturer's specifications by licensed, trained plumbers. It's backed by a 30-day labor warranty, plus the manufacturer's warranty on any new parts.
Insurance usually covers sudden water damage, not wear and tear on the pipe itself. Every policy is different, so check with your insurer. We send photos of the problem and the finished work with your invoice, which helps with a claim.
