Alexandria's housing tells the story of three centuries: the colonial and federal-era buildings of Old Town, the early 20th century homes of Rosemont and Del Ray, the post-war housing of Beverly Hills, and the newer construction in Cameron Station and the West End. Tim Whistler Plumbing serves all of it. We are fully licensed in Virginia (2710020030 and 2710059613) and have worked across Alexandria for over a decade, on residential and small commercial properties.
Plumbing repair and installation (leak detection, water heater replacement, tankless conversions, drain cleaning, sewer line work, fixture upgrades, full repipes), gas fitting (gas line installation, appliance hookups, outdoor lines for grills and fire pits, leak detection and repair), heating and cooling (boiler service, furnace and heat pump installation, AC service, ductless mini-splits), and licensed electrical (panel upgrades, EV charger installation, dedicated circuits, generator installation). Old Town and Del Ray restaurant and retail commercial work too.
Old Town Alexandria homes present plumbing and electrical challenges that newer construction does not. Many of the 18th and 19th century buildings have original brick walls, restricted attic and basement access, and infrastructure that has been patched and repatched over the decades. Working in these homes requires patience, the right tools, and an understanding of what historic district rules will and will not allow. We do this work regularly and know how to plan a repair that respects the building. Newer Alexandria construction (Cameron Station, West End condos) has its own typical issues: in-unit water heater swaps, panel capacity for modern appliances, HOA coordination for shared infrastructure.
Old Town Alexandria has some of the most demanding residential plumbing in the DMV. Tight spaces, historic district restrictions, and centuries-old structural quirks mean every job needs a plan that fits the specific building. We have done this kind of work in Old Town for years.
