Can I fix a water leak myself or should I hire a professional?

Yes. Small leaks like a dripping faucet or a loose P-trap can be DIY if you can safely shut off the water. Hire a professional for frozen or burst pipes, hidden leaks, water-heater leaks, or any leak you cannot control. Parrish Services offers 24/7 emergency plumbing in Northern Virginia, including frozen/burst pipe repair and water-heater service. Our phones are answered in person day or night, and we do not charge overtime for after-hours work.

• Shut off the nearest valve or the main.
• Avoid using affected fixtures.
• Call if water is spreading or hidden.
