Local plumbing issues in Dallas
Clay soil and cast-iron drains
Soil movement and aging cast iron under slabs lead to cracked drains, which a camera inspection and hydrostatic test can confirm.
Winter ice storms
North Texas gets occasional ice storms and hard freezes, and attic or exterior-wall pipes in heat-built homes are the first to burst.
Hard water
Mineral-heavy water shortens water heater life and clogs aerators and tankless heat exchangers.
Winter Storm Uri lessons
The February 2021 winter storm burst pipes across Dallas because many homes have plumbing in attics and exterior walls. Insulating attic lines, sealing gaps and knowing where the main shutoff is are now common requests before winter.
