Call now, 24/7(903) 500-0026A house that sits empty is a plumbing risk, and Point has some
The 2020 census counted about one in eight housing units in Point as vacant.
What idle pipes do
Of the 336 housing units counted in Point at the 2020 census, 12.5 percent were vacant. Vacant covers many cases: a house for sale, a family home between tenants, a place used on weekends or an inherited house nobody has settled yet. In every case, water systems that are not used behave badly.
Traps dry out and let sewer gas into the room. Rubber seals stiffen. A toilet flapper that fails runs all day with no one to hear it. A good plumber looks at a place like that with a different checklist than at a busy family home.
| Part | What idleness does | Result |
|---|---|---|
| P-trap under a sink | Water evaporates | Sewer smell in the room |
| Toilet flapper | Seal stiffens or sticks | Silent running, high bill |
| Water heater | Tank sits full for months | Sediment, odd smells |
| Supply valves | Seize from non-use | Hard to turn when needed |
A routine for second homes and rentals
Before leaving a house empty for a long stretch, shut the main valve, run a tap to relieve pressure and set the heater to its lowest or off setting. On returning, open the main slowly, run every tap, flush every toilet and look under every sink. How to shut off the main water valve shows the first step.
If you cannot visit often, ask someone to check the house now and then. A plumber who finds a small leak early saves a floor.
- Close the main valveBefore a long absence.
- Lower the heater settingOr switch it off.
- Run taps on returnOpen the main slowly first.
- Look under sinksLook for drips, stains and swollen cabinets.
City lines and district lines around Point
Who bills you decides who you ring for street trouble.
Three possible suppliers
The City of Point runs a water system that draws from Lake Tawakoni, according to the state water plan. The countryside around town is also covered by water districts, including South Rains Special Utility District and Bright Star Salem Special Utility District. So two houses with the same mailing address style can be on different systems.
That is why the phone conversation starts with the water bill. The bill names the supplier. Street-wide pressure loss, an outage or a meter problem belongs to the supplier, and everything past the meter belongs to the property.
Find the bill
Look for the supplier name at the top.
Locate the meter
Usually in a box near the road.
Check before the meter
Wet ground there is the supplier’s problem.
Check after the meter
A wet line from there to the house is yours.
Water quality questions
No hardness figure appears here because it turns on the supplier and the address. Read your bill or ask your water supplier for its latest report. If you want to treat water for taste or scale, water filtration and water softener installation are the two routes.
Some outlying homes run on private wells instead of any supplier. In that case the pump, tank and filters are the owner’s to maintain, and the first words on the call should be that you have a well.
| Your water comes from | Say on the call |
|---|---|
| The city system | City water, with the street |
| A district | The district name from the bill |
| A private well | That you have a pump and a pressure tank |
Sewer hookup or a septic tank: the question behind a slow drain in Point
Waste handling varies with the address.
What the city runs
Parts of town have city sewer service. How far that service reaches is a matter for the city. Properties outside it may use septic tanks. The call-taker will ask you which you have, and it helps if you already know.
If one drain is slow and the rest are fine, it is likely a local clog that clogged drain service can clear. If the whole house gurgles, a sewer camera inspection or a septic check separates a line problem from a tank problem.
| Sign | On a sewer | On a tank |
|---|---|---|
| Slow sink | Local clog | Local clog |
| Everything gurgles | House line or main | Tank full or field wet |
| Wet patch in yard | Broken line | Tank or field leak |
| Smell outdoors | Vent or line | Lid, vent or field |
Why a heater goes cold in a quiet town
A tank that went unwatched fails quietly.
Checks before calling about replacement
Start at the breaker or the pilot light. If the unit is electric and the breaker is on, the thermostat or an element may have failed. If it is gas and the pilot will not stay lit, a sensor is the usual cause. Both are repairs in most cases. A tank that leaks from its body cannot be mended and needs water heater replacement.
For general advice, how long a water heater lasts gives typical lifespans, and tankless versus tank compares a swap option.
Breaker or pilot
Reset it once. Repeated trips need a plumber.
Thermostat setting
Make sure someone did not turn it down.
Look at the base
Water on the floor means the tank, not the controls.
