What we get called out to in Stone Oak
- Water heaters installed in attic spaces, where a slow leak stains a ceiling before anyone notices
- Failed pressure reducing valves — high incoming pressure is hard on fixtures and appliances
- Scale in tankless units that were never descaled after installation
- Irrigation backflow assemblies split by a hard freeze
- Slab leaks in homes now old enough for the first pinholes to appear
Local notes
Most of Stone Oak went up from the 1990s onward, so the supply pipework is newer than in the older parts of the city — but the water is the same hard Edwards Aquifer water, and scale does not care how new the house is. The other local factor is pressure: this is high ground, and homes here often rely on a pressure reducing valve that quietly fails after a decade.

Questions people ask
Do you cover all of Stone Oak at night?
Yes. We take emergency calls across 78258, 78259 and 78260 around the clock, including weekends and holidays.
My water heater is in the attic — is that a problem?
It is common here and it is fine when the pan and drain line are right. When they are not, the first sign of a leak is a ceiling stain, so it is worth checking the pan drain before it matters.
Why is my water pressure so high?
Often a failing pressure reducing valve. High pressure wears out fixtures, and it is one of the cheaper things to put right.
