Plumber in Wylie, TX

Wylie grew up in the 2000s, and the houses are now old enough that the original systems are giving out together.

The soil here is the same expansive clay that runs across this whole part of Collin and Rockwall County. It swells when it's wet and shrinks when it isn't, and over twenty years that movement works on the supply lines running under a post-tension slab. Slab leaks are common, and the early signs are subtle — a warm patch on the floor, a water bill that crept up, the sound of running water when nothing's on. We locate electronically before opening any concrete.

Wylie is also on North Texas Municipal Water District supply, which is hard. Sediment builds in the bottom of a water heater and takes years off it. Most of the failed heaters we pull here would have lasted longer with an annual flush.
