What To Do Before the Plumber Arrives

  • Stop the water. Close the main shutoff, then open a faucet at the lowest point in the house to drain the lines.
  • Cut the power to wet areas. Keep away from outlets and appliances sitting in water.
  • Smell gas? Get everyone out first, then call your gas company or 911 from outside.
  • Take photos. They help with insurance and show the plumber what happened.

Common Plumbing Problems in Old River

Hard groundwater and summer heat are the main factors here. Half of the homes in Old River were built before about 1976. That era means mostly copper supply lines and plastic drains. Some homes from the late 1970s to mid 1990s used polybutylene pipe, which has a history of failing and is worth checking for.

  • Rural properties on wells need pump and pressure tank service that city homes never think about.
  • Expansive soils shift with irrigation and the seasons, stressing slab plumbing and buried lines.
  • Groundwater here is hard and can carry minerals that build up in water heaters, so whole-home filtration and softeners are common requests.
