Common situations Faiz handles in Alexandria
If any of these sound familiar, one call gets it sorted.
The toilet has been running for three weeks
The upstairs toilet in your Old Town condo runs for ninety seconds after every flush — sometimes longer. You've looked up how to replace the flapper and decided it's more complicated than it looked. Faiz replaces the fill valve or flapper in about twenty minutes, and if the issue is actually a worn flush valve seat (the less obvious cause), he diagnoses and fixes that instead of putting a band-aid on the wrong component.
Kitchen faucet drip is getting worse, not better
The Del Ray kitchen faucet has been dripping from the spout for six weeks — started as once every few minutes, now a steady trickle. The fix depends on the faucet manufacturer and what's been done to it before. Faiz identifies the component, replaces it, and checks the shut-off valves while he's under the sink, because those are often the next thing to go in older Alexandria homes.
The hallway light switch works only sometimes
The upstairs hallway switch in your Rosemont home has been intermittent for months — sometimes it clicks on clean, sometimes it needs to be cycled twice. Intermittent switches are usually a failing contact point inside the switch itself. Faiz swaps it out and confirms the wiring is properly terminated, which also rules out a loose backstab connection before it becomes a bigger problem.
New bathroom faucet waiting to be installed
You bought a brushed nickel faucet to replace the builder-grade original in the Alexandria master bath. The installation looks straightforward until the supply lines turn out to be non-standard length and the old drain assembly has corroded threads. Faiz brings the right fittings to handle whatever the previous installer left behind so the upgrade actually gets finished.
Outdoor outlet stopped working after last winter
The Huntington home's back patio outlet went dead sometime in January and hasn't come back. Before assuming the outlet is shot, Faiz checks the GFCI reset point (often a different outlet on the same circuit), confirms the wiring, and replaces if needed — rather than escalating to an electrician for a job that often resolves with a reset test and a $12 outlet swap.
