The Town of Leesburg maintains water lines in the street up to and including the meter; the owner is responsible for the supply line from the meter box to the house. A plumber handles leaks and breaks on that private stretch. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Leesburg.
What happens when you call
Plumber Washington DC Pros is a referral line, not a plumbing company. Your call goes to an independent local plumber who works in Leesburg. Expect a few questions: where the wet spot is, whether pressure has changed, whether the meter moves with everything closed, and whether your house is inside town limits. From there the plumber can schedule a visit to locate the leak, often by listening along the line or exposing it near the suspected spot, and then explain whether a repair or a new line makes sense.
What affects the cost
- Where the leak is. Near the meter box is simpler than under a driveway or porch.
- How long the line runs. Older downtown lots and newer subdivisions differ a lot.
- Repair or replace. A failed coupling is quicker than a full new supply line.
- Surface restoration. Brick walks, mature plantings and paved areas take more time.
- Permits. Building and trade permits in town come from Loudoun County Building and Development, after a Town of Leesburg Zoning Permit where one is needed.
Leesburg conditions
Leesburg runs its own water and sewer utility, separate from Loudoun Water, treating Potomac River water at the Kenneth B. Rollins Water Filtration Plant. The Town also serves some customers outside its limits, so near the edges, service varies by address. For a leak at the meter or in the street, call Utilities at 703-771-2750 during business hours; after hours, the Town routes emergencies through the Leesburg Police non-emergency line, 703-771-4500.
The town mixes a National Register historic downtown with subdivisions built since the 1990s, and the median home dates to 1993. Under federal lead and copper rules the Town keeps a service line material inventory and runs a compliance campaign that asks some customers to identify the material of their private line where it enters the basement or crawl space. If you get that request, it's worth answering before any repair. Older houses near downtown are the likeliest places to find aging pipe.
