Common Arlington Plumbing Issues

Original Cast Iron Drain Pipes

Many Arlington homes still have 1940s-60s cast iron drain pipes that have corroded thin and develop sudden cracks and leaks.

Sewer Line Root Intrusion

Arlington's abundant street trees send roots into residential sewer laterals, causing slow drains and eventual backups.

Frozen Outdoor Faucets

Homeowners who forget to shut off exterior hose bibs face burst pipes inside walls when temperatures drop.

Water Pressure Issues

Homes in Arlington Heights at higher elevations experience lower water pressure, which can mask slow leaks.

Sump Pump Failures

Many Arlington homes rely on sump pumps for basement drainage, and power outages during storms cause failures at the worst time.

What to Do Right Now Before the Plumber Arrives

1

Shut Off the Water Supply

Locate the shut-off valve for the affected fixture or your main water shut-off valve and turn it clockwise to stop the flow of water. This is the single most important thing you can do to limit damage.

2

Turn Off the Water Heater

If the emergency involves your water heater or a burst pipe, turn off the water heater to prevent damage to the unit. For gas water heaters, turn the gas valve to the pilot position.

3

Open Drains and Outdoor Spigots

After shutting off the main water supply, open outdoor spigots and drain faucets to redirect any remaining water away from the house and relieve pressure in the lines.

4

Document the Damage

Take photos and videos of any water damage before you start cleanup. This documentation will be valuable for insurance claims and helps the plumber understand the scope of the problem.
