Local notes

Houses out here are mostly 2000s onward, plumbed in PEX with a manifold and fitted with a pressure reducing valve at the meter. That makes the plumbing a closed system, so when the expansion tank or the PRV fails you get a dripping relief valve, banging pipes and stress on every fitting in the house. Hard water is the other constant: new fixtures scale up just as fast as old ones.

New house, new problems

The three we see most in Alamo Ranch are pressure problems, a failed expansion tank, and hard water chewing through fixtures and heaters — which is why so many homes here end up fitting a water softener on the loop the builder left.

Questions people ask

Is my house too new to have plumbing problems?

New houses fail differently. Pressure, builder fittings and hard water do most of the damage in this part of the city, and the first two are cheap to fix before they cause a leak.

The builder left a loop in the garage — what is it for?

It is a water softener loop, roughed in so a softener can be added later. We can fit and plumb one into it.

Do you cover Westover Hills and 78253?

Yes, along with 78251 and 78254, around the clock.
