Virginia plumbing FAQ

How do I check a plumber's license in Virginia?

Virginia's Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation (DPOR) licenses plumbing tradesmen and contractors.

Do pipes freeze in Virginia?

Yes, during cold snaps. Pipes in crawl spaces, exterior walls and unheated garages are the ones that freeze. Disconnect hoses in fall and open sink cabinets on the coldest nights.

Is Virginia water hard?

Generally moderate, based on national hardness mapping, but it varies by utility and by well. Your water provider's annual water quality report lists the hardness for your system, and a plumber can test well water.

How old are homes in Virginia?

Census estimates for Virginia put 20% of homes as built before 1960, 25% from 1960 to 1979, 31% from 1980 to 1999 and 25% in 2000 or later. Older homes are more likely to have galvanized supply pipe and cast iron or clay sewer lines.
