Cardinal Plumbing Heating & Air expands services with drain cleaning

The trusted home service company offers unique expertise addressing pipe maintenance issues common to Northern Virginia

STERLING, Va., March 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Cardinal Plumbing Heating & Air, a trusted home service provider serving Northern Virginia, is expanding its professional drain cleaning services to better serve homeowners and small businesses across the area.

"Regularly scheduled drain cleaning is critical for maintaining a well-functioning plumbing system, and for averting stubborn clogs and backups," said Daniel Fuentes, co-founder of Cardinal Plumbing Heating & Air. "Our experienced technicians have the skills and the tools required to provide comprehensive drain cleaning, all while helping to protect the integrity of pipes and plumbing infrastructure."

Drainage issues in Northern Virginia can be influenced by the age and material of a home's plumbing system. One example is the presence of Orangeburg pipes, a type of material that has historically been common in and around Alexandria. Orangeburg pipes are made from a compressed tar-like material— and due to metal shortages, were commonly used in Northern Virginia homes from World War II through the 1980s.

"Unlike other types of piping, Orangeburg cannot be repaired—which means that major issues require full replacement by an experienced plumber," said Fuentes.

Similarly, long horizontal runs of cast iron drains naturally corrode over time due to constant exposure to waste and moisture, creating holes that allow invasive tree roots to grow inside—one of the leading causes of clogs. Both cast iron and Orangeburg piping are common in older homes, which comprise a major part of Cardinal Plumbing Heating & Air's service area.

"Many of the homes in our service area are reaching the age where pipe degradation is inevitable, making routine professional drain maintenance essential," said Fuentes. "By expanding our drain cleaning services, we aim to help homeowners identify and address these issues before they lead to costly repairs."
