Portsmouth's Trusted Plumber —
From Old Towne to Churchland
Portsmouth is a city of two worlds when it comes to plumbing. Victorian-era homes with original cast iron, lead lines, and steam boilers. Mid-century construction long overdue for attention. We know both — and we have the experience to handle what most plumbers won't touch.
Portsmouth's Plumbing Is Unlike Anywhere Else in Hampton Roads
Old Towne Portsmouth is home to Victorian-era houses and historic apartment buildings with original cast iron drain lines, lead water lines, steam boilers, and radiator systems that most plumbers simply aren't equipped to handle. If you've ever had a plumber walk into your Portsmouth home and not know where to start, you won't have that problem with us.
The rest of the city — Churchland, Parkview, Westhaven, Westwinds, Hatton Point — brings its own set of challenges: aging 1950s and 1970s construction with plumbing systems that are long overdue for attention.

What We Handle Every Day in Portsmouth
Portsmouth's plumbing challenges are some of the most specialized in Hampton Roads. Here's what we bring to the table — particularly in the city's historic housing stock.
Cast Iron Pipe Repair & Replacement
Old Towne's historic homes and apartment buildings were built with cast iron drain lines that have been in service for decades — sometimes over a century. When they crack, corrode, or collapse, you need someone who can diagnose accurately and give you real options. We do.
Lead Water Line & Lead Drain Line Service
Many of Old Towne's Victorian-era properties still have original lead water or drain lines. We have the experience to assess, repair, and replace them safely — and we'll tell you exactly what you're dealing with before any work begins.
Boiler Repair, Service & Annual Checkups
Steam and hot water boiler systems are still running in many of Old Towne's older homes and apartment buildings. We service, repair, and maintain boilers throughout Portsmouth — and we offer annual checkups to keep your system running safely before the heating season starts.
Radiator Service & Bleeding
Knocking radiators, cold spots at the top, uneven heat — common issues in older Portsmouth homes with steam systems. We know radiator systems inside and out and can get your heat balanced the way it should be.
Plumbing Leaks in Basements
Basement plumbing leaks in older Portsmouth homes come with their own challenges — aging pipes, original fittings, tight access. We've worked in enough of these spaces to know exactly what to look for and how to fix it right the first time.
Sump Pump Repair & Installation
Portsmouth's geography makes water intrusion a real concern. We install, repair, and replace sump pumps throughout the city — and we'll help you determine the right system for your specific property.
Backflow Inspections
Virginia requires annual backflow preventer inspections on irrigation systems. We perform certified inspections throughout Portsmouth and file all required paperwork with your city or water authority.
Gas Line Repair & Installation
From new gas line installations to repairs on older systems throughout Portsmouth, we handle gas line work safely and to code — residential and commercial.
If you've ever had a plumber walk into your Portsmouth home and not know where to start, you won't have that problem with us.
