What Houston Homeowners Should Know

Texas licenses all plumbers through the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners, and Houston's Harris County also requires a local permit for most plumbing work. Houston's flat topography and frequent heavy rainfall create unique drainage and sewer backup challenges — many homeowners invest in backwater valves not typically needed elsewhere. The city's aging infrastructure in Montrose and the Heights includes cast iron drain pipes from the 1950s-70s increasingly failing. Houston's extremely hard water (200+ ppm) is the leading cause of premature water heater failure in the region.
