For the leak, the no-heat morning, the roof that started dripping at 9pm: call (877) 454-8068. The desk is open 7am–10pm ET, every day. Tell us what is happening and where.

Much of Charlottesville's housing predates 1980, and the median build year of 1968 points to older brick, plaster, and original plumbing mixed with later infill. Occasional freezes split pipes in unheated crawl spaces and porches, and humid summers keep basements and older masonry damp. Storm season tends to expose roof edges and window seals first. Roughly 45,000 residents live in a single ZIP code, and only about 44 percent of homes are owner-occupied, so rentals carry a large share of the maintenance load.

What that means for a call

Occasional freezes are easy to underestimate. In Charlottesville, where the median home was built in 1968 and about 64% predate 1980, a quick overnight dip can catch an exterior hose bib, an unheated crawlspace, or a pool line. Find the shutoff before the forecast turns.

Local watch-outs

  • A hard freeze is occasional here, which is exactly when exposed pipes catch people out. Find the main shutoff now, before you need it.
  • Keep gutters and downspouts clear before storm season. If water reaches an outlet or a panel, stop and call an electrician rather than resetting the breaker.
  • Check the basement or crawlspace after heavy rain. Most seepage starts at a wall joint, a window well, or a downspout that dumps too close to the foundation.
  • Older homes often have original shutoffs, wiring, and drain lines. Ask the pro to show you the failed part before approving a replacement.
