Project context
When to talk with a pro
A water heater that goes cold mid-shower, a drain that keeps backing up, or water running when every fixture is off are good reasons to call a plumber. Rusty water, a wet ceiling stain, and a sudden jump in the water bill can also point to a problem you cannot see. Describe when each symptom started and which fixtures are affected.

Common questions about plumbing companies in Powhatan
A lot of them charge a trip or diagnostic fee, roughly $75 to $150, and roll it into the repair if you hire them. Hourly rates land somewhere around $45 to $150. A small fix runs a couple hundred, and a big job runs into the thousands, so get the number in writing before they start.
Ask if they are licensed, ask whether the person giving you the price is the one actually doing the work, and get that price in writing up front. A plumber who pulls a permit on a water heater or a repipe is doing it by the book, not padding your bill.
If the tank is leaking from the bottom, it is done and no repair fixes that, so you replace it. A bad heating element, thermostat, or valve is worth fixing on a unit under about ten years old. Once it is older than that, a replacement usually makes more sense than throwing money at it.
Shut off the main valve, which is usually where the water line comes into the house, near the meter or down in the crawl space. Then call. Up in the mountains a pipe that froze and split will keep dumping until that valve is closed, so knowing where it is ahead of a cold snap saves you a mess.
