Where you land in the range is mostly depth and length: how far the house sits from the main, how deep the line runs, and whether it crosses a driveway, a walk or a big tree’s roots.

Lining the old pipe instead of digging is quoted off the footage once the camera has been through it, so there’s no lining number on this page. When a line can be lined, we price both and you pick.

What’s different in Leesburg

In Leesburg the meter box and the cleanout by the sidewalk mark where your pipe begins.

Inside the town limits the Town looks after its water line up to and including the meter, and its sewer main out to the cleanout. Both usually sit at the property line, close to the sidewalk. From there to the foundation, the pipe is yours. So a line replacement in Leesburg is a front-yard job: a trench from the sidewalk strip to the house, not one that starts out in the street. The Town’s own answers about the sewer side don’t read quite the same everywhere, so ask where your part ends and get that in the quote in writing.

The moment the hole reaches that strip beside the sidewalk, the Town wants a right-of-way permit, house service connections included, and Loudoun County issues the plumbing permit in town and out. Ask who pulls both. The answer you want is the plumber, with the permits sitting inside the price, not a to-do on your list.

The dig changes a lot across town. Downtown, houses on the 1758 grid sit close to the sidewalk under old street trees, so even a short run means opening the walk and working around roots, and the shortness doesn’t make it a small job. In the townhouse rows, about three homes in ten in town, ask the association whether your line is yours alone or shared with the unit next door before it reaches the street. A detached house with a long front yard is the straightforward trench, just a longer one.

Lansdowne has the same mail but sits outside the town limits, on Loudoun Water. There the homeowner keeps up the line out to the street, Loudoun Water repairs the stretch under it, and one of its inspectors checks a replacement before the trench is closed. Nearly nine in ten Lansdowne homes went up since 2000, so a replacement there is more often one failed joint or a crushed section than a whole worn-out line, and the camera tells which.

By the numbers

Leesburg houses, by the numbers

From the Census Bureau’s 2020 to 2024 survey. Median year built and heat count owner-occupied homes only.

The Town of Leesburg

Inside the town limits: the Old and Historic District downtown, Exeter and Carrvale inside the bypass, Potomac Station and Edwards Landing outside it.

  • Median home built1996 Census
  • Built before 1980about 2 in 10 Census
  • Built since 2000about 4 in 10 Census
  • Most homes aresingle-family houses, about 4 in 10 Census
  • Heated withgas, about 7 in 10 Census
  • Rentedabout 3 in 10 Census
  • Houses from the 80s and 90s mostly went in with PVC sewer pipe, which doesn’t rust and resists roots, so trouble there is usually a sag or a joint that shifted.
  • Many homes here are townhouses or condos, where the line from your unit may join a shared one before the street. Who owns which stretch is the first question.

The Loudoun County side

Lansdowne only. It’s the one Census place outside the town limits, so the farms and lots beyond it aren’t in these figures.

  • Median home built2005 Census
  • Built before 1980hardly any Census
  • Built since 2000about 9 in 10 Census
  • Most homes arecondo and apartment buildings, about 4 in 10 Census
  • Heated withgas, about 8 in 10 Census
  • Rentedabout 3 in 10 Census
  • In houses built since 2000 the line is usually PVC and young, so a problem there is more often a blockage or settling than a pipe giving out.

When it’s time

When a Leesburg sewer or water line needs replacing.

Wet ground between the meter box and the house

A soft patch in the front lawn between the sidewalk and the foundation is on your side of the Town’s meter. Water bubbling at the curb or in the street is the Town’s. Finding which side you’re on comes first, and a locator before the dig keeps the trench short.

The main keeps backing up

If the main line has been cleared twice in a year and backs up again, the pipe itself is usually the trouble: a sag, a break or roots coming through a joint. Clearing it again buys time, not a fix.

A wet spot in the yard that never dries

A soft, green strip between the house and the street in dry weather, or a water bill that jumps with no leak inside, often means the water service line is leaking underground.

Choosing who replaces it

How to pick who replaces a sewer or water line in Leesburg.

Questions to ask anybody who quotes you a line replacement, us included.

  1. Did they tell you who pulls the Town permit?

    A dig by the sidewalk needs a Town right-of-way permit on top of the county plumbing permit. A quote that leaves both to you is missing a step. Ask to see the permit before the first shovel.

  2. Did they show you the camera footage before the price?

    A line replacement quoted without a camera is a guess at what’s down there. Ask to see the break, the sag or the roots, and where on the line they sit.

  3. Did they price sewer line repair by digging and by lining, side by side?

    Some lines can be lined in place, some can’t. The installer who quotes only one way, without saying why the other won’t work, is the one to question.

Questions

Sewer and water line questions from Leesburg.

If the leak is right at the meter, who pays to fix it in Leesburg?

The Town keeps up its pipe through the meter, so a leak at the meter or before it is a call to Utilities at 703-771-2750. Anything on the house side of the meter box is the owner’s. A plumber who starts at the meter box can tell you which one you have, and a new water service line on your side is $3,500 to $8,000.

Who inspects a new sewer line in Lansdowne?

Loudoun Water. Its inspector looks at a replacement before it is backfilled, so the trench stays open until it has been seen. A dug-up sewer line on your side of the street is $7,500 to $9,000.

How much is sewer line replacement in Leesburg?

Dug up and replaced, $7,500 to $9,000, with the permit and putting the yard back in that number. A water service line from the meter to the house is $3,500 to $8,000. Where you land depends on depth, length and what sits on top of the line.

Do I need a camera inspection before replacing the line?

Yes. The camera shows whether it’s one bad joint we can repair, a run we can line, or a pipe that has to come out. Added to a visit we’re already on it’s $89.
