Chesapeake's Trusted Plumber —
New Construction, Mid-Century Homes
& Everything In Between
Chesapeake is one of the fastest-growing cities in Virginia — and that growth comes with its own set of plumbing problems. Whether it's a failing CPVC line in a brand-new Grassfield home or a corroded water line in a Deep Creek house built before you were born, we know Chesapeake.
We Know Chesapeake — Both the New Builds and the Old Ones
Chesapeake is unlike any other city in Hampton Roads. Rapid development across Hickory, Grassfield, and along Battlefield Boulevard has produced tens of thousands of new homes — fast. Speed doesn't always mean quality, and the plumbing failures we see in some of Chesapeake's newest homes are proof.
At the same time, the city's older housing stock — built from the 1950s through the 1990s — is reaching the age where things start failing in serious ways. CPVC cracking inside walls. Water heaters long past their service life. Cast iron drain lines with decades of buildup.
At Anchor Plumbing & Gas, we diagnose accurately and fix it right — with upfront pricing and no surprises, whether it's a $150 faucet swap or a full repipe.

The Plumbing Problems Chesapeake Homeowners Actually Face
We've worked in enough Chesapeake homes — new and old — to know exactly where the problems hide. Here's what we handle every day.
New Construction Plumbing Problems
Fast-built homes cut corners. CPVC piping, undersized water lines, improperly pitched drains, and fixtures that look good but fail fast. If your newer home is already having plumbing issues, you're not imagining it — and you're not alone.
CPVC Pipe Repair & Replacement
CPVC was widely used in builder-grade Chesapeake construction and has a well-documented history of cracking and failing at joints — often inside walls where you can't see it until there's real damage. We assess, repair, and replace CPVC systems.
Water Heater Repair & Replacement
Whether it's a poorly installed unit in a new build or an aging water heater in a 1970s Deep Creek home, we handle water heater repair, replacement, and tankless installations throughout Chesapeake — with upfront pricing on every job.
Drain Cleaning & Sewer Line Service
Improperly pitched drains in newer construction and aging sewer lines in older Chesapeake homes are two of the most common calls we get. We diagnose the root cause rather than just clearing the symptom.
Sump Pump Repair & Installation
Chesapeake's flat terrain and high water table make sump pumps a necessity for many homeowners. We install, repair, and replace sump pumps throughout the city and can help you determine the right system for your property.
Crawl Space Plumbing Leaks
Chesapeake has a lot of crawl space construction — and crawl space plumbing leaks can go undetected long enough to cause serious structural damage. We know how to get in, find the problem, and fix it right.
Fixture Repair & Replacement
Builder-grade fixtures in new Chesapeake developments often fail well before they should. We replace them with properly installed, quality fixtures — and we'll tell you upfront what you're getting and what it costs.
Gas Line Repair & Installation
From new construction gas line installations to repairs on older systems throughout Western Branch and Great Bridge, we handle gas line work safely and correctly.
Backflow Inspections
Virginia requires annual backflow preventer inspections on irrigation systems. We perform certified inspections throughout Chesapeake and file all required paperwork with your city or water authority — so you stay compliant without the hassle.
Everything We Handle for Chesapeake Homeowners
We cover the complete range of residential and commercial plumbing needs across Chesapeake.
Upfront pricing on every job. For predictable work — water heater replacements, drain cleaning, toilet installations — you get the exact price before we start. For repairs where the scope depends on what we find, we charge a flat $89 diagnostic fee, waived if we complete the work the same day.
