Plumbing conditions in Texas
Texas is mostly hot, but rare deep freezes can be severe because homes are built for heat. Gulf Coast areas face hurricanes and flooding, and water is hard in much of the state.
Most homes sit on concrete slabs, and expansive clay soils shift foundations, so slab leaks and broken sewer lines are common.
Freezes are uncommon in most of Texas, but when a hard freeze does arrive, homes built for warm weather, with pipes in attics and exterior walls, are the ones that split.

Common plumbing problems in Texas
Slab leaks
With so many Texas homes on concrete slabs, water lines under the floor leak quietly. Warm spots, a running meter or a rising water bill are the usual clues.
Leak detection →Shifting clay soil
Expansive clay in parts of Texas swells and shrinks with moisture, cracking buried sewer lines and stressing pipes under slabs.
Sewer line repair →Hard water and scale
Hard water in much of Texas leaves scale in water heaters, tankless units and fixtures, shortening tank life and reducing efficiency. Regular flushing helps.
Water heater replacement →Storm-season drain and sewer backups
Tropical storms and hurricanes bring heavy rain to Texas, which can overwhelm drains and back up sewer lines. Clear main lines and check valves before the season helps.
Drain cleaning →Flooding and sewer backups
Heavy rain and flooding in parts of Texas push water into basements and back up older sewer laterals. Backwater valves and sound laterals reduce the risk.
Sewer line repair →Frozen and burst pipes
Cold snaps in Texas freeze pipes in exterior walls, crawl spaces and garages. A frozen line often splits and leaks only after it thaws, so shut off the main if you see water.
