Common Plumbing Problems in Mission Homes
Mission's water comes from the Rio Grande. Irrigation canals carry it from the river to the city's reservoirs, and 2 plants treat it: the North plant at 17.5 million gallons a day and the South plant at 8.
Parts of the South plant date to 1926, 1946 and 1965. The North plant on Holland Avenue was built in 1996 and expanded in 2005. The median Mission home was built in 2000.
When a Valley Freeze Does Come
Pipes here run through attics and outside walls with little insulation, because freezes are rare. When one arrives, wrap outdoor faucets, let taps drip overnight and open sink cabinets. If a pipe splits, close the main shutoff at the meter. See burst pipe.
If the House Will Sit Empty
- Shut the water at the main before leaving for months.
- Turn the water heater off at the breaker or to vacation mode.
- Have someone run taps and flush toilets every few weeks.
- Check for leaks and a dry trap smell when you return.
Slab Leaks
Lines under the slab wear and pinhole, showing as a warm floor or a high bill.
What Affects Plumbing Costs in Mission
No plumber can quote a firm price before seeing the problem. These are the things that move the cost of plumbing work in Mission.
- Slab access. Rerouting overhead and opening the floor are priced differently.
- Drain location. Clearing a main line costs more than a single sink.
- Finding the problem. Leak locating and camera inspections are separate steps, but they keep the repair itself small.
- Time of day. Many companies charge an after-hours, weekend or holiday fee.
- Ask for the arrival fee before the plumber heads out, and for the repair price in writing before work starts.

- What is your license number?
