Common Plumbing Problems in Weatherford Homes
Weatherford's municipal utility draws from Lake Weatherford. In droughts the city pumps water from Benbrook Lake into Lake Weatherford and passes the pumping cost on to customers.
The city says customers may notice a taste change when it switches lakes, and an earthy taste during algae blooms in summer and winter. The median Weatherford home was built in 1998.
When the Water Tastes Earthy
The city traces earthy taste and smell to algae blooms in the lake, usually twice a year, and is adding granular activated carbon filters at its treatment plant to reduce it. The taste is not a fault in your plumbing. If only the hot water smells, the water heater is the likelier cause, and a plumber can check the anode rod.
Historic Weatherford Houses
Houses near the Parker County courthouse date from the late 1800s and sit on pier-and-beam foundations. Pipes under the house are exposed to cold, and old galvanized lines and clay sewers are common. Insulate the crawl space lines before winter, and use a sewer camera inspection before buying.
Old Pipe Near the Square
Historic houses can have galvanized lines and cast iron or clay drains.
What Affects Plumbing Costs in Weatherford
No plumber can quote a firm price before seeing the problem. These are the things that move the cost of plumbing work in Weatherford.
- House type. Pier-and-beam and slab homes are repaired differently.
- Old pipe. Repairs in historic houses tend to extend.
- 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.
