Before the spring thaw hits its peak, disconnect and drain your outdoor hose bibs. A hose left connected traps water in the pipe; when overnight temps still dip near 26°F, that water freezes and can split the pipe inside your wall. This simple proactive step prevents a common and costly leak when temperatures fluctuate.

The copper plumbing in these homes is now 47 years old. At this age, the pipe walls are thinning from decades of water flow and chemical interaction. Homeowners in Southwest Harrison are commonly seeing pinhole leaks, especially at soldered joints or where pipes touch dissimilar metals. It's a predictable stage in the material's lifecycle, not a random failure.

You are responsible for the entire lateral line from your house to the main city sewer tap, typically located under the street or in an easement. In our suburban setting, tree roots seeking moisture are the most common cause of blockages and breaks in this private line. Municipal pressure ends at the property line.

Lake Harrison provides the municipal supply, which is very hard. That mineral content causes rapid scale buildup inside water heater tanks and on heating elements. This insulation effect forces the unit to work harder, shortening its lifespan and increasing energy bills. Anode rod depletion also accelerates, leaving the tank vulnerable to corrosion.

Copper pipe installed in 1979 often suffers from pitting corrosion, which leads to pinhole leaks. This is accelerated by our hard water and can be more severe where pipes were not properly deburred during the original installation. The leaks frequently appear in horizontal runs or at fittings, signaling advanced internal wear.

Yes. The slope in areas like near the Lyric Theater can put constant stress on a main sewer line. Over decades, this stress can cause joints to separate or the pipe to sag, creating low spots where waste collects and causes blockages. Proper bedding and support during installation are critical, but ground settlement over time is a constant factor.

Heading past the Lyric Theater onto US-65 is the main route for most service calls in that area. Traffic is typically light, so dispatch from central Harrison usually puts a truck on your street in 20 to 30 minutes. We factor in that route when giving you an arrival window.

The Harrison Building Department issues the permit, and the installation must comply with Arkansas Department of Health Plumbing and Natural Gas Program codes. As a licensed master plumber, I pull the permit, schedule the required inspections, and ensure the work passes. My credential means I handle the red tape so you don't have to.
