Rio Grande Water and Drought
Valley cities draw on irrigation canals and the river. Reports from 2024 and 2025 described record-low reservoirs and Stage 2 restrictions in cities such as Edinburg. Restrictions are set by the city; a plumber helps by finding leaks.
Heat and Hard Water
South Texas heat cracks plastic fittings and bakes hose bibs, and mineral-heavy water leaves scale in heaters and on fixtures. Flush tank heaters yearly and check outdoor fittings each season.
Slab Homes and Hidden Leaks
Most homes sit on slabs. A running meter with all taps off or a damp slab edge points to a hidden leak.
Coastal Bend Salt Air
Near Corpus Christi, Portland and Victoria, humidity and salt air speed corrosion on valves and heater bases. Test shutoffs yearly.
