The first few minutes
Loudoun Water’s protect your pipes page puts the main valve where the water line comes through your foundation, and says most houses built after 1972 have a pressure reducing valve right beside it. Here’s the order.
Valve won’t budge? Don’t force it with a wrench; an old gate valve can snap off in your hand. Call, and we’ll talk you through it while a plumber heads your way. Our burst pipe guide covers the cleanup.
Copper and brass where the water line enters the house: the main valve is the first thing to close.
Loudoun Water’s pipe or yours
Loudoun Water owns the meter and the public mains. The service line from the meter to your main valve, and every pipe past it, belong to you, and the utility says those lines are typically copper, plastic, or a mix. Its rules set the leak credits.
| What you’re seeing | Call first | The reason |
|---|---|---|
| Water pooling in the yard between the meter and the house | Us, then Loudoun Water | That run of service line is yours to repair. Its leak rule can then credit the overage for up to two billing quarters. |
| Water bubbling up at the street or the meter | Loudoun Water | The main and the meter are the utility’s, and it repairs them. |
| A frozen meter in the crock | Loudoun Water | Keep the crock shut. Opening it risks the meter and a fine, and the utility has an after-hours line for it. |
| Sewage at a basement floor drain | Loudoun Water, then us | It checks the public sewer first. If its main is clear, the clog is in your building sewer, and that’s ours. |
| Banging pipes, a dripping relief valve, toilets that won’t stop filling | Us, next day | The pressure regulator by your main valve has worn out. It’s yours, and it’s one of the most common Sterling repairs we make. |

What we see in Sterling
Each one with what to do while you wait, and what the fix runs.
Main valve off, lowest tap open, and warm the room, never the pipe with a torch.
NOAA’s normals for Dulles Airport count roughly 102 freezing nights a year, so pipes in outside walls, crawl spaces and garages around Sterling see real cold. The plumber cuts out the split and joins in new pipe, usually $450 to $650. Pipe repair prices and photos.
Look at the brass regulator by the main valve. If it hisses or drips, tell the plumber.
When a regulator gives out, house pressure climbs: toilets run, faucets drip and the water heater’s relief valve spits. In Sterling’s 1970s and 1980s houses the first regulator is often the one still in there. We replace it and check the pressure with a gauge before we leave.
Stop running water anywhere, washer and dishwasher included, and call Loudoun Water.
If the public sewer is clear, the clog is in your building sewer. Clearing it runs $550 to $1,650, and a camera look on the same visit, $89, shows roots, a sag or a break. In the Cabin Branch sewershed, part of Sterling Park, Loudoun Water has been lining sewer laterals to keep storm water out. Drain and sewer prices.
Get out of the house first, and make the call from the street.
Don’t flip a switch or start a car in the garage. Call 911 or Washington Gas at 844-927-4427 from outside. When the gas company has the leak made safe, our plumbers in Sterling track it down on your side of the meter and repair the line. Gas line repair.

Questions from Sterling
Getting a licensed plumber to a Sterling house at night, on a weekend or a holiday is $250, and $49 on a weekday. That pays for finding the failure. Fixing it is a second number you see and approve in writing, and a split or leaking supply pipe usually lands at $450 to $650.
We do. Our plumbers cover Sterling Park, Sugarland Run, Countryside, Cascades and Lowes Island around the clock, and a person picks up (703) 997-9757 at 3 a.m. the same as at noon. Close the main valve by the pressure regulator first, then call.
Where the water line comes through the foundation, usually in the basement or a utility closet on the lowest floor. Loudoun Water says most houses built after 1972 have a pressure reducing valve, a bell-shaped brass fitting, right next to that main valve. Find the bell and the valve is beside it.
Its leak adjustment rule can take the whole water and sewer overage off, for up to two billing quarters, when the leak was underground between the meter and your shutoff and you had it repaired. A hidden leak inside the house gets the same once per account, asked for in writing with the repair receipt. Garden hoses and sprinklers don’t count.
Leave the meter crock shut. The meter belongs to Loudoun Water, opening the crock can break it and bring a fine, and the utility keeps an after-hours emergency line for exactly this. Once water reaches the house, anything frozen or split on your side is ours.
More of them are near the end of their pipes’ working life. About four in ten homes around Sterling Park and Sugarland Run were built before 1980, so valves haven’t been turned in decades and the regulator may be the original. We fix what failed that night and price anything else separately.
