Common Plumbing Problems in Rowlett Homes
Rowlett buys treated water from the North Texas Municipal Water District as a customer city. The district draws from Lavon Lake, Lake Texoma, Bois d'Arc Lake and other sources.
The city runs the pipes, meters and sewers. The median Rowlett home was built in 1997.
Clay Soil Near the Lake
Clay soil around Rowlett moves the slab and the pipes under it. A warm floor, a running meter with taps off or new drywall cracks after a dry summer point to a leak. Close the main shutoff and call for slab leak repair.
After a Storm
- If drains gurgle or back up, stop using water until sewers recover.
- Leave a flooded water heater off until a plumber checks it.
- Check the irrigation backflow device for damage.
- Photograph damage for insurance before repairs.
Slab Leaks
Clay soil swells and shrinks, stressing water lines under the slab.
