Local plumbing issues in Alexandria
Flooding in Old Town
Low-lying blocks near the Potomac flood during storms and high tides, backing up drains.
Combined sewers
Parts of Old Town have combined sewers, which AlexRenew's RiverRenew project is addressing.
Historic home plumbing
Very old homes often have mixed materials and difficult access.
Del Ray and Rosemont bungalows
Early 1900s homes in Del Ray and Rosemont often have basements with floor drains and original clay laterals, where roots from mature street trees cause repeat clogs.
West End high-rises
Alexandria's West End has many 1960s–70s apartment and condo buildings where risers and main drains belong to the association, so a leak between units needs building management involved before a plumber can open walls.
