The pro near Houston.

TX

For the leak, the no-heat morning, the roof that started dripping at 9pm: call (877) 454-8068. The desk is open 7am–10pm ET, every day. Tell us what is happening and where.

Expansive clay is the quiet force behind a lot of Houston repair calls. The soil swells with rain and shrinks in dry spells, and the movement shows up in foundation cracks, sticking doors, and plumbing that shifts underground. The median home is newer than in older Texas cities, built around 1982, but nearly half still predate 1980. Storm season brings hail and wind, and a hard freeze every few years catches exposed pipes and pool equipment off guard. Hard water quietly shortens the life of water heaters and fixtures.

What that means for a call

Houston's housing dates to 1982 at the median, with about 47% before 1980. Storm season is the other variable: wind-driven rain finds roof edges, gutter seams, and window seals first. After a storm, note what is wet and what is only stained before you call.

Local watch-outs

  • Keep gutters and downspouts clear before storm season. If water reaches an outlet or a panel, stop and call an electrician rather than resetting the breaker.
  • During smoke events, keep HVAC filters clean and check exterior vents, soffits, and roof edges for places where embers or smoke can enter.
  • After hail, check the roof, gutters, and skylights from the ground before climbing up. Note the date and take photos before anything is repaired.
  • Hard water shortens the life of water heaters, faucets, and shower valves. Regular descaling or a softener can reduce the scale, but it will not fix a failed part.
