Clog Heroes, the Louisa, VA Plumber From Main Street to the Shores of Lake Anna
Clog Heroes brings plumbing, drain and sewer service to Louisa County, Virginia. Louisa County has two incorporated towns, Louisa and Mineral, plus a big share of the 13,000-acre Lake Anna. From here, Richmond, Fredericksburg and Charlottesville are each an hour's drive or less.
Wherever you are in the county, a Clog Heroes visit works the same way. The price is written down first. The work starts once you approve it.
The Town of Louisa, the County Seat
Louisa County was formed from Hanover County in 1742 and named for Princess Louise. The town of Louisa is its seat.
The county's water supply plan draws one municipal service area right in the middle of the county, and it takes in both the town of Louisa and the town of Mineral.

One Treatment Plant, Four Well Systems and a Lot of Private Wells
The Louisa County Water Authority dates to 1968. Today it runs one water treatment plant, four well systems, one raw water system and three wastewater treatment plants.
Plenty of Louisa homes sit beyond those systems on their own well. Statewide, 92 percent of households with a private well also use a septic system, according to the Virginia Department of Health.
Mention which you have when you book. Authority water, town water or a well in the yard each tell the technician something useful before they arrive.
Vineyards, Green Springs and 110 Freezing Nights
Interstate 64 crosses the county, along with U.S. Routes 15, 33, 250 and 522 and State Routes 22, 208 and 231. Along the way you'll find Cooper Vineyards, a LEED Platinum certified winery, and the Green Springs Historic District.
Homes here run fairly young. The median was built in 1995, and about 26 percent of the county's 18,366 housing units date from before 1980.
The cold is the part to plan for. The Louisa weather station logs about 110 nights a year at or below freezing and 15.8 inches of snow. Find your main shutoff now, while it's warm.
Jack Jouett's Ride From Cuckoo Tavern
On the night of June 3, 1781, Jack Jouett was at Cuckoo Tavern in the eastern part of the county when British cavalry rode past toward Charlottesville. He guessed where they were headed and rode through the night to warn Governor Thomas Jefferson and the Virginia Assembly.
The British were moving fast. Lieutenant Colonel Banastre Tarleton's cavalry reached the Louisa courthouse shortly before midnight and planned to hit Charlottesville the next day.
Jouett was a 27-year-old militia captain, six foot four. He covered almost 40 miles without stopping and got there at about 4:30 in the morning, hours ahead of the British. Patrick Henry, Richard Henry Lee, Benjamin Harrison, Thomas Nelson and Edmund Randolph all got away.
Henry knew the county well. He lived on Roundabout Creek in 1764, and in 1765 Louisa sent him to the House of Burgesses, the first election he ever won.
Fourteen Thousand Acres of Green Springs
Out west, between Route 15 and Route 22, lies the Green Springs National Historic Landmark District. It runs six and a half miles long and four and a half wide: 14,000 acres of farmland and more than 250 original homes, barns and outbuildings from the 1700s and 1800s.
The name comes from a spring that was famous in the 1800s for its medicinal cures.
The land is a natural bowl of rolling pasture, and it has been known for its fertile ground since the first settlers reached the Piedmont. The farms are private, but you can see them from the public roads, and easements protect many of them.
A Domed Courthouse on Main Street
In the town of Louisa, the courthouse stands where Main Street meets Route 208. Richmond architect D. Wiley Anderson designed it, and it went up in 1905, the third courthouse on the site. Look up: there's a large octagonal dome over unusually slender Ionic columns.
The courthouse has company on the square. The old jail is now a county museum, and the R. Earl Ogg Memorial Building, once a bank, now holds the General District Court.
The railroad came even earlier. The Virginia Central was finished through the county between 1838 and 1840.
For the whole story, visit the Sargeant Museum of Louisa County History at 214 Fredericksburg Avenue, across from Town Hall and the Louisa Arts Center. Its six permanent exhibits run from the Native people of Louisa through the Revolution, the Civil War, schools, transportation and government. A living-history Heritage Farm sits out back.
History is good company, and a working drain is better. When you need one, the Clog Heroes technician looks first and gives you a written price before anything starts.
