Quick answer: Aldie covers two very different kinds of homes: the historic village along Little River and surrounding rural properties on private wells and septic, and large newer subdivisions along the Route 50 corridor on Loudoun Water. Each has its own typical emergencies.
The village of Aldie grew up around Aldie Mill on Little River in the early 1800s, and many homes around it are older houses and farm properties on their own wells and septic systems. East of the village, the Route 50 corridor toward South Riding filled with large subdivisions in the 2000s and 2010s, served by Loudoun Water’s central system. Here’s how that plays out:
| Home type | Common emergencies |
|---|---|
| Historic village and rural homes | Well pump and pressure tank failures, septic backups, old pipe, frozen crawlspace and well lines |
| Newer Route 50 subdivisions on Loudoun Water | Water heater leaks, burst supply hoses, pressure valve failures, sump pumps, drain backups |
When you call, tell us whether you’re on Loudoun Water or a private well. It changes the first steps and what we bring.
Quick answer: On public water, close the main shutoff. On a well, close the valve after the pressure tank and switch off the well pump breaker. Then cut power to wet areas and call.
Public water: close the main shutoff. Private well: close the valve after the pressure tank and switch off the well pump breaker so it can’t keep pumping into the leak. Open a low faucet afterwards to relieve pressure in the lines.
Switch off breakers for wet areas only from dry ground. If a water heater is leaking, turn off its breaker or set the gas control to off.
Call (703) 794-5592 and tell us what’s leaking, whether the water is off, and whether it’s clean water or sewage.
Not sure who supplies your water? Loudoun Water’s service area map shows whether your address is on the public system.
Quick answer: If the faucets go dry on a well, check the pump breaker and the pressure tank gauge. A septic backup means stop using water. We clear the house drain; a full tank needs a septic pumping contractor.
Loudoun County’s wells and onsite septic page explains how private systems are regulated. The usual no-water causes are a tripped breaker, worn pressure switch contacts, a waterlogged pressure tank or a failed submersible pump. Power outages stop well pumps too, so if the power is back and you still have no water, check the breaker and gauge first. For septic, gurgling drains, slow lower-level toilets and soggy ground over the drain field are the warning signs. The EPA’s septic care guide covers what not to flush and how often to pump.
Shut off the water and call Stoney’s Plumbing, day or night.
Quick answer: In the newer subdivisions, emergencies look like the rest of eastern Loudoun: aging water heaters, failed pressure reducing valves, split supply hoses and sump pump failures in finished basements.
Many of these homes have finished basements, so a sump pump that fails in a storm or a water heater that lets go in a basement utility room causes expensive damage within hours. A dripping water heater relief valve often means house pressure is too high or the expansion tank has failed, not that the heater itself is bad. Replacing a water heater in unincorporated Loudoun generally requires a permit through Loudoun County Building and Development, which we take care of. Our sewer line guide explains who’s responsible when a backup comes from the lateral.
Quick answer: Older village homes with crawlspaces, well houses and outbuildings with water are the most freeze-prone. In newer homes, hose bibs and garage lines freeze first.
Ready.gov’s winter weather guide covers freeze prevention. Keep a heat source in any well house, disconnect hoses in the fall, and drip faucets on outside walls during deep cold. If a pipe splits, close the main or switch off the well pump and call. Thaw frozen lines slowly with a hair dryer, never an open flame.

For rural Aldie properties, keep a few gallons of drinking water and buckets for flushing on hand. Homes on wells lose water whenever the power or the pump fails, and having a backup makes a no-water night much easier while a repair is arranged. Label the well pump breaker so anyone in the house can find it.
