Recent Garland jobs are below, from a toilet flange that had come loose from an old lead drain fitting to a 20-minute pressure test on a laundry drain line. When a Garland drain keeps backing up, we run a camera down the line before recommending a fix, so you pay for the repair the pipe actually needs.

Garland is one of the older cities we serve. The median home here was built in 1978, and more than half of Garland’s 86,000 homes went up before 1980. In a house that age, the original drain lines, water lines, and shutoff valves are 45 years old or more, so a slow drain or a stubborn clog is often a sign of what’s happening deeper in the line. Garland was one of the North Texas Municipal Water District’s ten original member cities, and its water comes from the Wylie treatment plant, which blends Lavon Lake and Lake Texoma water. In 2025, that water ran 96 to 200 mg/L in hardness, up to about 11.7 grains per gallon. Add the Blackland Prairie clay under the city, which shrinks and swells hard between wet springs and dry summers, and you have the three things we see most in Garland: aging lines, scale, and slab movement.

At 45 to 60 years old, original drain and water lines are the main risk. Repeated backups, gurgling drains, or a sewer smell in the yard usually point to the main line. A sewer camera inspection shows exactly what’s in the pipe, whether that’s roots, a sag, or a crack, and it’s worth doing before you buy an older Garland home too.
Yes. The City of Garland requires a permit and an inspection for water heater replacement. We pull the permit and handle the inspection as part of the job.
Garland sits on Houston Black clay, the Blackland Prairie soil that swells when it’s wet and cracks up to 4 inches wide in dry spells. That movement stresses the slab and the pipes beneath it, and older lines under older slabs give way first. In older Garland homes, watch for a water bill that climbs month after month, damp carpet, warped flooring, or a spot on the floor that feels warm.
Yes. Garland’s water comes from the North Texas Municipal Water District’s Wylie plant, which reported total hardness of 96 to 200 mg/L in 2025, up to about 11.7 grains per gallon. That’s hard enough to scale up water heaters and fixtures within a few years. A water softener stops it at the source.
