When a pipe bursts at 2:00 AM or the water heater fails right before a holiday weekend, the charm of living in a historic city like Alexandria can quickly lose its luster. You don’t just need a repair person; you need a partner who understands the unique infrastructure of our local area. Finding a reliable plumber in Alexandria Virginia is about more than just a quick fix—it’s about finding a team that treats your home with the same respect they would their own.

At G.A. Eberly Plumbing & Heating, we understand that trust isn’t given; it’s earned. For over 115 years, our family-owned and woman-operated business has been the go-to resource for homeowners and businesses across the DMV. Since 1909, we have built our reputation on a foundation of integrity, superior craftsmanship, and a deep commitment to our community. When you call us, you aren’t getting a stranger; you’re getting a neighbor with a century of experience backing every wrench turn and pipe fitting.

Whether you are dealing with a minor leak or a major system overhaul, you deserve peace of mind. We combine old-fashioned values with modern technology to ensure your plumbing systems run smoothly.

Proudly Serving VA Alexandria & the Greater Northern Virginia Community

Alexandria is a city of contrasts. We have the beautiful, historic row houses of Old Town with plumbing systems that date back decades, and we have modern developments in the West End that require the latest in high-efficiency technology. To effectively serve VA Alexandria and the broader Northern Virginia region, a plumbing company needs to be versatile enough to handle both.

G.A. Eberly has deep roots in this community. We have watched the skyline change and the neighborhoods grow, but our commitment to our neighbors has remained constant. We serve the entire area, including Arlington, Falls Church, and Springfield. Our technicians understand the specific challenges that local homeowners face, from aging municipal sewer connections to the mineral content of our local water supply.

When you hire a local team, you get faster response times and a level of accountability that national chains simply cannot match. We live here, we work here, and we are proud to help keep Alexandria VA, running efficiently.

Comprehensive Plumbing Services for Homes & Businesses

Plumbing issues rarely happen on a convenient schedule, and they certainly don’t limit themselves to one type of problem. That is why we offer a comprehensive suite of plumbing services designed to cover every possible need for residential and commercial properties.

From single-family homes to large commercial complexes, our team has the expertise to diagnose issues quickly and implement lasting solutions. We work closely with homeowners, landlords, and property managers to ensure that tenants remain happy and properties stay safe.

Why Expert Supervision Matters

One of the key differentiators at G.A. Eberly is our commitment to quality control. Every installation and major repair is supervised by a Master Technician. This ensures that the work is not only compliant with local building codes but also meets our rigorous internal standards for safety and durability. Whether it’s a simple faucet replacement or a complex gas line installation, we provide upfront pricing and honest recommendations so you can make informed decisions about your property.

Fast & Reliable Drain Cleaning and Sewer Cleaning

Few things disrupt a household faster than a clogged drain. It starts as a slow trickle in the shower or a gurgle in the sink, but if ignored, it can quickly escalate into a messy and expensive emergency. Our professional drain cleaning services are designed to tackle the toughest clogs, restoring flow and hygiene to your home.

The Importance of Sewer Health

While a clogged sink is an annoyance, a blocked sewer line is a crisis. Tree roots, grease buildup, and aging pipes can all contribute to main line blockages. Our sewer cleaning services utilize advanced tools to clear obstructions deep within your system.

Proactive maintenance is key. Regular cleaning can prevent the catastrophic backups that lead to sewage flooding into your home. Our trucks arrive fully stocked with the necessary equipment to handle these issues on the first visit, minimizing downtime and getting your life back to normal as quickly as possible. Don’t wait for the water to rise—if you notice slow drainage, it’s time to call in the professionals.

Water Heater Repair, Installation & Upgrades

Hot water is not a luxury; it is a necessity for cooking, cleaning, and bathing. When your water heater starts acting up, it affects the rhythm of your entire day. If you are experiencing fluctuating temperatures, strange noises, or leaks around the base of your unit, it is time for a professional assessment.

Tank vs. Tankless: Making the Right Choice

Technology has come a long way since we started in 1909. Today, homeowners have more choices than ever.

• Traditional Tank Heaters: Reliable and generally lower upfront cost, these store a set amount of hot water.
• Tankless Water Heaters: These heat water on demand, offering endless hot water and significant energy savings over time.

We specialize in both water heater repair and installation. Our experts can help you calculate the potential energy savings of an upgrade and choose the unit that best fits your family’s usage habits. All installations are overseen by a Master Technician to ensure optimal performance and safety.

Protecting Your Home from Water Damage

Water is the single most destructive force to a residential property. A small, undetected leak behind a wall or under a floorboard can rot structural beams, ruin drywall, and encourage mold growth long before you see a water stain. Water damage is costly, but it is often preventable with early detection.

Our team is trained to identify the subtle signs of plumbing failure. We handle:

• Burst pipes due to freezing temperatures.
• Leaking appliances (washing machines, dishwashers).
• Failed pipe joints and corrosion.

Fast action is critical. If you suspect a leak, professional diagnosis can save you thousands of dollars in restoration costs. We provide emergency-ready service to shut off the water source and repair the breach immediately, protecting the structural integrity of your home.

Sump Pumps That Keep Basements Dry & Safe

In the DMV area, heavy rainstorms are a fact of life. For homes with basements or crawl spaces, this weather poses a significant risk of flooding. Sump pumps are your first line of defense against rising groundwater and storm runoff.

If your sump pump is older, makes loud noises, or hasn’t been tested recently, you could be at risk during the next heavy downpour. A failed pump can lead to feet of water in your basement, ruining stored belongings and finished living areas.

We offer installation, repair, and maintenance for sump pumps to ensure they activate exactly when they are needed. We can also discuss battery backup systems, which provide peace of mind even if a storm knocks out your power. Keep your basement dry and your home healthy by ensuring your pump is ready for the season.

Free Estimates & Transparent Pricing You Can Trust

We believe that hiring a professional shouldn’t be a guessing game. Many homeowners delay necessary repairs because they fear the final bill. At G.A. Eberly, we operate with a policy of transparency. We offer free estimates so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.

When you request an estimate, we don’t just give you a number; we explain the scope of the work, the parts required, and the timeline for completion. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges. This approach builds long-term trust and is one of the reasons we have been in business for over a century.

We also understand that your time is valuable. We offer flexible scheduling to work around your busy life, ensuring that getting a free estimate fits into your day without hassle.
