Copper pipes installed around 2007 are reaching a point where minor imperfections in the pipe wall and years of water chemistry interaction become apparent. The hard water in Lantana accelerates this. Pinhole leaks often start at solder joints or where the pipe contacts a bracket, as these are points of electrochemical stress.

When the forecast calls for a hard freeze, like our 34-degree lows, disconnect and drain all outdoor hoses. Open the cabinet doors under indoor sinks to let warm air circulate the pipes. A pro-tip for our temperate climate is to let a single faucet drip cold water on a night when temperatures are predicted to plummet rapidly.

Water sourced from Lake Lewisville is very hard, meaning it has high mineral content. This causes scale buildup inside pipes and appliances. Your water heater is particularly vulnerable; the heating elements and tank can become coated with mineral deposits, reducing efficiency and lifespan. Fixtures like showerheads will also clog with scale over time.

You're connected to municipal water and sewer. The constant pressure from the city main is generally stable, but it means any leak in your home's system is under that full pressure. Your sewer lateral, the pipe from your house to the street, is your responsibility. While less common here than in older urban areas, tree roots seeking moisture can still invade these lines.

Your home’s copper plumbing is now 19 years old. At this age, we commonly see pinhole leaks starting to appear, especially on hot water lines. The joints where pipes connect can also begin to calcify, leading to reduced water pressure. These are typical wear-and-tear issues for copper systems of this vintage in our area.

The generally plain terrain means we don't deal with severe slope issues, but it can lead to poor natural drainage in some yards. Over-saturated soil from irrigation or heavy rain can put lateral stress on your main sewer line, potentially causing a shift or blockage. It's important to ensure your property grading directs water away from the foundation.
