Plumber in Sharpstown, Houston (77036)

Sharpstown was one of Houston’s first large master-planned communities, built mostly in the 1950s and 60s. Its ranch homes on slab foundations now have 60-plus-year-old plumbing, and that drives most of the calls here. Call (844) 212 9767 to reach a local plumber in Sharpstown.

Common Plumbing Problems in Sharpstown

• Slab leaks — original copper under the slab, stressed by shifting clay soil. See slab leak detection.
• Cast-iron drains — scaling, cracking and slow drains.
• Clay sewer laterals — root intrusion and sewer backups.
• Galvanized supply lines — low pressure and rusty water. See galvanized pipe replacement.

When to Repipe Instead of Repair

If you’ve had more than one leak in a few years, the rest of the original pipe is likely close behind. Rerouting supply lines through the attic with a repipe also takes future slab leaks out of the picture.

Water Heaters

Tank heaters typically last around 8–12 years. Rust-colored hot water, rumbling or water around the base are signs it’s time. See water heater repair.
