Reliable Water Softeners & Water Conditioners in Middleburg, VA

Underground Pipe Repair in Middleburg, Virginia 

Kristin T. of Middleburg, VA noticed water collecting near her paddock at her horse farm and low pressure to the horse waterers. Kristin has been a long time customer of JR Snider so she gave us a call to come out and look at the issue. Shorty after we spoke with her, we sent Mike out the same day to diagnose the problem.

Mike arrived and was taken to the location of the leak. Mike noticed the low water pressure to the waterers and traced that pipe back to the shut off valve and turned it off. After a short period of time the water started to subside where it was pooling and the location of the leak was found. Mike provided an estimate to repair the broken pipe and an appointment was set to send Chris and Cameron out to complete the repairs the next day. Chris and Cameron dug the area up around the broken pipe and installed a new section of PVC pipe and couplings to repair the leak. The water was turned back on and a test was performed to check for any additional leaks, none were found. They backfilled and tamped the area down. 

Kristin T. and her horses were very happy that the leak was repaired and they now had great water pressure to the waterers! 

Mrs. M. had a toilet that was not working properly and she had to turn it off. She had company coming soon and wanted the toilet fixed. Our technician repaired the toilet and Mrs. M. was so happy that neither she nor her guests would be inconvenienced! 

Mr. C. thought he had a leak under his kitchen sink so he called us out to have a look. Our specialist quickly determined that the faucet spray hose was leaking and Mr. C. decided to replace the faucet. He picked up his new faucet and we promptly installed it. He was very pleased that we were happy to install the faucet that he supplied. 

Mr. C. was hearing strange noises in his house at random times and was concerned his sump pump was running too frequently. He rarely goes into his basement and called us out to check it out. Turns out the sump pump was fine however our technician did find a running toilet in the basement bath that was causing the basement sewage pump to run periodically. Our technician fixed the toilet and the problem was solved. Mr. C. thanked us for our technician for solving all his plumbing problems for the last couple of decades!

Mrs. C. lives out of state and bought a local home to stay in when she visits family locally. She was concerned because her new home had a very old water heater. Our specialist evaluated the water heater and he and Mrs. C. agreed she would sleep better at night knowing she had a new water heater. We installed the new lifetime warranty water heater the next day and Mrs. C. thanked us profusely for the peace of mind we could provide her. 

Mrs. B. called us out because she was having staining on her plumbing fixtures. Our technician arrived at her residence and immediately recognized the stains as copper stains, a quick test of the water verified that the water pH was low and this was causing staining because of the copper pipe being corroded by the acidic water. Mrs. B. was relieved we had a solution to protect her pipes from erosion and that the staining would not return. Mrs. B. was very happy we could install her acid-neutralizing automatic backwashing filter the next day!  

Mr. E. got in the shower only to find that he had no hot water! He went down to his basement to check his gas water heater only to find a large puddle of water in front of his water heater. Mr. E. requested we send a technician out to address the problem. Our technician quickly learned that an internal leak within the water heater had snuffed out the pilot light; the water heater would have to be replaced due to the leak in the tank. Our parts department quickly located a replacement for this nonstandard specialty water heater. Our office staff was able to accommodate Mr. E’s schedule and the replacement of the water heater took place on the day of Mr. E’s choosing. Our installers performed the installation in one day and then ran every fixture in the home to be sure all air was removed from all the water lines. Mr. E. was very happy with our work and thanked us for our thoroughness and professionalism.

Mrs. H. is a property manager and her time is valuable. When Mrs. H. had a tenant call her in a panic because of a water leak Mrs. H. knew just who to call. Upon arrival our technician determined that the thermostatic and pressure relief valve on the water heater was leaking badly. Our technician knew that this valve leaking could be because of an underlying issue so he proceeded to check the water heater thermal expansion tank and found that it was working as it should. Our plumbing technician proceeded to perform a whole house pressure test, this test showed excessive high water pressure, which could have lead to the thermostatic pressure relief valve failure. After our technician installed a whole house pressure reducing valve everything was fine. Mrs. H. thanked our technician for not only fixing the initial problem but caring enough to look for and correct the cause of the problem as well.

Mr. G. was very excited to finally be adding a rear deck to his home. He realized that his rear hose bib would be located under his new deck and would be impossible to access. Mr. G called us out to discuss the feasibility of relocating the hose bib to a different location. Our technician discussed the possible solutions and we decided to relocate the water line to the hose bib in the basement and install a frost-free hose bib in a new location. Mr. G. was very pleased that our solution not only relocated the hose bib but also noted he was thankful not to have to turn off and drain the piping going to his new frost-free hose bib.

Mrs. R. called complaining of low hot water pressure and limited hot water availability in her master bath shower. Our technician performed a diagnosis and confirmed that Mrs. R. had a very limited amount of hot water before it turned cold. An exploration of the crawl space revealed a twenty year old water heater with a severe leak. We quoted and installed a new water heater and thermal expansion tank. Mrs. R was relieved we could rectify her issue and appreciated that she could finance this unanticipated upgrade to her home.

Mrs. B. woke up one morning to find that she had no water.  Once we arrived on site we learned that a low PH condition had caused a pin hole leak to form in the basement which had been running the well down until it ran out of water.  She had just purchased the house 2 years prior and the acidic water had never been addressed.  We discussed how the acidic water attacks the copper plumbing over time and how to correct the issue.  The existing pressure tank and water heater where both well beyond average life expectancy, and options where provided for replacement as well.  We immediately had the new equipment delivered to her home while the old equipment was drained and removed.  We then proceeded to install a new pressure tank with pump protection device, a new 2.5 cubic foot acid neutralizer and replaced the water heater with a new Marathon electric heater.  

When Mr G. decided to remodel his older home, he knew that he needed to update his existing system in order to protect the new plumbing and prevent damaging the new plumbing fixtures. During the construction his existing well was abandoned and a new well was drilled. This well, while providing more water had some different water quality issues. We first installed a larger 119 gallon pressure tank to save wear on the new well pump.  We then treated the problematic water conditions with a new Water Care 1354 “Ion Air Cat” iron filtration system with O-Zone generator, a new Water Care 1054 “Care Soft Elite” resin water softener and followed those up with a new 12 gpm ATS ultra violet disinfection system with a 5 micron pre-filter.  We also installed a new Rheem Marathon composite plastic electric water heater.

When Mrs. C. purchased her new home she knew the system was older and undersized.  Concerned with protecting the plumbing system and providing her family with safe, clean water she called us out to provide options.  Due to space issues with the existing location we where able to find a larger area to relocate the system which allowed us to expand upon the equipment needed to address issues that were not currently being corrected.  After discussing possible options she decided to install a larger pressure tank to save wear on the well pump.  We then addressed her acidic water condition which was attacking the copper plumbing system and causing blue/green stains on her fixtures with a new Acid Neutralizer.  The problematic iron staining which also caused the water to have a undesirable taste was corrected with a Air Cat iron filtration unit.  Then we where able to provide her with soft, luxurious water at every tap by installing a new metered water softener.  The new location also allowed us to install a larger water heater that was better suited for her families needs.
