Basement backups
Older homes with basement bathrooms and floor drains see sewer backups during heavy storms and when laterals clog.
Additions and old pipe
Homes expanded over the decades often have new plumbing spliced into original galvanized or cast iron.
Condo building systems
In condos, risers and main lines belong to the building, so repairs need association approval.
Arlington County water
Arlington's water is treated by the Washington Aqueduct, which also serves D.C., and the county has been replacing older water mains, which can expose aging service lines that need repair.
