Two leaks in one year
A toilet fill valve in spring and a washer hose in fall are not bad luck here. They’re often what a few years of high pressure does. We put a gauge on the hose bib and tell you the number.

Most repairs are one section of pipe: the split or pinhole cut out and a new piece put in. Where the pipe sits decides most of the price. Exposed in a basement ceiling is the low end; inside a finished wall is higher, and we tell you before the drywall comes open.

What’s different in Purcellville
Purcellville’s own FAQ says the water pressure runs high, and high pressure splits pipes.
The Town of Purcellville says it plainly on its FAQ page: system pressure can be high, and it suggests a pressure reducing valve on your side of the meter. That is the single most useful fact about leaks in this town. Pressure above what fixtures are rated for wears on supply hoses, toilet fill valves, the water heater and every soldered joint, and the failures arrive one after another. If you’ve had two small leaks in a year, test the pressure before fixing a third.
The valve belongs to the owner, and so does everything after the meter. The Town takes care of the lateral from the main to the meter assembly, and you take it from the meter into the building. So a wet spot at the meter box is a call to Town Hall, and a leak between the box and your foundation is a plumber’s call. A reducing valve usually runs for years and then goes soft, letting the pressure creep back up, so an old one is worth checking.
The water here comes from the J.T. Hirst Reservoir, about half of daily use, plus eleven active wells, with no lead service lines. Inside the town, roughly one in five homes is a townhouse, which makes a leak a question of whose wall it’s in: your unit’s line, or one the association owns. Outside the town limits the picture changes, and wells and pressure tanks are common, where a pump that never rests is how you learn there’s a leak.
Half the town’s owner homes were built since 2000, and about three in ten between 1980 and 1999, so most of Purcellville is newer plastic and copper where fittings are the weak point, with a gray polybutylene run possible in a house from the earlier stretch. Older homes near the downtown blocks, about one in eight predating 1960, are where galvanized steel is likelier. We shut off, test the pressure and check the valve before any pipe gets cut.

What you’d notice
How a pipe leak in Purcellville usually shows up.
A stain spreading on the ceiling
A brown ring under a bathroom, or a soft spot in the drywall, is water that’s been finding its way down for a while. A supply pipe leaks all the time; a drain only leaks when somebody runs water upstairs, and that difference tells us where to look first.
The meter moves with every tap off
Turn everything off and watch the water meter for ten minutes. If the dial or the little leak indicator still moves, water is going somewhere, inside a wall, under a slab or out in the yard.
A water bill that jumps for no reason
A bill that’s a third higher with nobody new in the house is often a running toilet, and sometimes a pipe. The meter test above sorts out which in a few minutes.

Before the first hard freeze
Keep pipes in Purcellville from freezing this winter.
A pipe usually bursts in the hours after a cold snap, when the ice inside it thaws and the split starts to run. Five things to do before it gets that cold, then call us if something already looks wrong.
- 1
Hose off, outside spigot shut inside
Disconnect every garden hose. A hose left on traps water in the spigot, and that’s the most common split we see. If the spigot has a shutoff inside the house, close it and open the outside tap to drain it.
- 2
Cabinet doors open on outside walls
A kitchen or bathroom sink on an outside wall gets the coldest air in the house. On the coldest nights, open the cabinet doors so room heat reaches the pipes, and let that tap drip.
- 3
Crawl space and garage closed up
Close crawl space vents and the garage door for the winter. Pipes that run through a crawl space, a garage ceiling or an unheated room over the garage are the ones that freeze first.
- 4
Know where the main shutoff is
Find it now, before you need it: usually where the water line comes through the basement or crawl space wall, near the meter or the water heater. Make sure it turns. When a pipe bursts, that valve is the difference between a mop and a contractor.
- 5
Going away? Leave the heat on
Keep the thermostat at 55 or higher while you’re gone, and ask someone to look in if a cold snap comes. A frozen pipe that thaws with nobody home runs for days.
Find a pipe that’s frozen, or water where it shouldn’t be? Shut the main off and call us at (703) 997-9757. A diagnosis visit is $49, or $250 after hours, and you get the repair price before we cut into anything.
Your pipes, your paperwork
Whose pipe is leaking in Purcellville.
Town of Purcellville
Under the Town’s lateral policy, the Town keeps up the sewer lateral from the property line to the main, where the main sits in the public right of way within 50 feet; the owner keeps up the stretch from the property line into the house. If a plumber’s signed findings or Town staff show the blockage is in the Town’s section, the Town repairs it, cleans up, and reimburses the plumber’s cost of finding it. Source.
The Town says people in new homes may use more water than they did at their last house, possibly because of the high pressure in the Town system, and that installing a pressure reducer, if the house doesn’t have one, may help. Source.

Choosing who fixes it
How to pick a plumber for a leak in Purcellville.
Questions worth asking anybody who comes out, us included.
Will they check my water pressure before fixing the leak?
In Purcellville they should. The Town says its pressure runs high. A plumber who fixes the pipe and skips the gauge is setting you up for the next repair.
Is the plumber licensed in Virginia?
Anyone can check on the state’s license lookup. Ours is Virginia Class A contractor license, on every van.
Will they find the leak before they open a wall?
A good leak call starts at the meter and the shutoffs, then narrows it down with pressure and moisture readings. The drywall comes open in one spot, not five.
Do you get the price before the work?
Every repair on our list has a range, and you hear where yours lands before anything is cut. If someone won’t say until the job is done, keep looking.

Questions
Leak and burst pipe questions from Purcellville.
Whose job is the pressure reducing valve?
Yours. The Town suggests one on the customer side of the meter, and that is the owner’s equipment to buy, test and replace. If your house is newer, there may be one already. If your gauge reads high anyway, the valve may be failing.
Is the leak at my meter the Town’s or mine?
The Town handles the line up to the meter assembly. Past it, into the building, it’s yours. Water pooling at the meter box is worth a call to the Town first. If it’s wet between the box and the house, that’s your pipe.
What do I do first when a pipe bursts in Purcellville?
Shut off the main water valve, then turn off the water heater (gas to pilot, or the breaker for electric). Open a faucet at the lowest point of the house to drain what’s left in the pipes. Then call (703) 997-9757: a person answers day or night, and our emergency plumbing team is on 24/7.
How much does it cost to fix a leaking pipe in Purcellville?
A plumbing diagnosis visit is $49, or $250 after hours. Finding a leak you can’t see is $200 to $500, and most water pipe repairs run $450 to $650. You get the number before we start.
