What Are the Most Common Plumbing Issues in Midland?

Neighborhoods that are northwest of the city center – including North Park Hill and University Park – have homes that were built in the 1950s, ’60s, and ’70s. Unfortunately, no plumbing material lasts forever. If you live in one of these older homes, at some point you may have to replace the pipes in your home or the underground service lines in your yard. One of the first signs of an undetected leak is a higher than usual water bill. If the underground service lines have a leak, you may notice wet spots in your yard or even water bubbling to the surface.

In Midland, we do install a lot of timed sprinklers and smart sprinkler systems. Residents find these features helpful because the city has an outdoor watering schedule. Whether your home has an even or odd address dictates what days of the week you can water your lawn and outdoor plants. In addition, the city asks that you “avoid watering in the heat of the day,” as the wind and evaporation make it less effective. When you have a smart system, you can control your sprinklers even when you’re not home. You can also automate when your irrigation system turns on and off, so your lawn doesn’t have to suffer if you miss a “water day.” 

Hard water is a common plumbing issue in Midland. According to the United States Geological Survey, the city’s water is classified as “very hard.” Hard water has more minerals like calcium and magnesium and is not a health concern. However, hard water can be a nuisance. If you have hard water in your home, you will notice that you need more soap and shampoo to create a lather. And over time, scale builds up inside of pipes and your hot water heater, shortening the lifespan of these plumbing fixtures. We routinely install and maintain water softeners for many of our Midland customers.

We also receive a lot of calls for clogged pipes. This is a common problem everywhere, not just in Midland. Hair, food particles, soap scum, and grease will all build up to create a clog. And yes, smaller toys will create a clog, too! We say that the best defense against clogs is to use drain screens and avoid dumping food or grease down the sink. If you have small children in the home, a toilet seat lock is a wise investment. If you do have a stubborn clog, give us a call. Many people think clogs are a DIY task, mainly because you can buy drain cleaners at any dollar store or supermarket. These gels and liquids are abrasive and can actually damage pipes. In addition, they are unsafe for the average person to handle. If these chemicals can damage pipes, imagine what they can do to your eyes or skin. We have the right tools and methods to safely and effectively unclog drains. 

How Does the Water in Midland Affect Your Plumbing?

Midland’s primary tap water sources are the T-Bar Ranch well field and the Colorado River Municipal Water District. In addition, the Paul Davis Well Field operates as a backup water source. The city maintains 890 miles of water main lines, 4 pump stations, and 6 elevated storage tanks. If you have any questions about the city’s water supply, you can contact the Assistant Utilities Director at 432-685-7260. Midland’s tap water is tested every year for contaminants and the results are published in annual Water Quality Reports

At times, some residents may notice that their tap water is discolored. According to the city, this discoloration could be caused by excessive iron or manganese, water main repairs, or possible water valve maintenance. The city encourages residents to call Water & Wastewater at 432-685-7270 to report any discolored tap water. 

Some customers also report that their bathroom smells like rotten eggs after running the faucet. Midland’s water department assures customers that the odor is not coming from the water, but rather from the drain. Pouring bleach or vinegar, and baking soda down the drain should alleviate the smell.

How Much Does Plumbing Usually Cost in Midland?

If you need to call a plumber in Midland, you want to know how much it will cost. It’s difficult to give an estimate without seeing the project firsthand, but we can give you some price ranges. The average plumbing bill in Midland is $383.00. Many projects will fall between $93.00 and $673.00. These costs do not include taxes or permit fees. Several factors will affect the final price tag. 

The Nature and Scope of the Project.

If we come out to unclog a drain, you can expect to pay, on average, $198.00. However, a complex unclog could be as high as $376.00. And the average plumbing inspection costs $315.00. A home may require an inspection if we need to locate a leak, or if a prospective buyer wants to know if the plumbing system is in good condition.

If We Need to Come Out ASAP

Plumbers in Midland, TX typically work Monday through Friday during regular business hours. However, we know that our services are sometimes needed ASAP. A burst pipe or a completely clogged toilet can’t wait. If we come out during the evening, weekend, or on a holiday you can expect to pay more.

If Your Household Qualifies for Home Repair Assistance

There are several housing programs in Midland that help individuals pay for necessary home repairs, including plumbing. Each program sets its own eligibility requirements. Some are grants, and some are loans that need to be paid back over time. 

And if you’re one of the city’s 6,240 veterans, you may be able to get help for plumbing repairs through the Veterans Administration or Habitat for Humanity’s Repair Corps

Can Better Plumbing Save You Money in Midland?

It sure can! Plumbers in Midland do more than fix leaky pipes. We love to help our customers find ways to save money on their water bills. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has some helpful water-saving tips. One common way you can save money and precious water is to fix any faucet leaks right away. If your kitchen faucet leaked one drip per second for a year, more than 3,000 gallons of water would be wasted! Not all leaks are visible, though. We encourage our customers to occasionally monitor their water meter for evidence of leaks. The easiest way to do this is to block off a two-hour window when no one in the house will use water. Check the meter immediately before and after this timeframe. If there is any change, there is a leak somewhere in your home’s plumbing system. You can give us a call to set up an inspection.

Better plumbing does more than save you money on your utility bill; it also protects the investment that you’ve made in your home. The median value of owner-occupied homes in Midland is $219,500. When you stay on top of repairs and routine maintenance, you add to your home’s curb appeal.

When Should You Call the Water Utility Company in Midland vs Hire a Plumber?

Homeowners are responsible for the plumbing system within their homes and their irrigation systems. They are also responsible for the service lines that run from their home to the point where these lines connect with the municipal system. So if you have a problem with any of these components, you’ll want to call us.

Midland is responsible for all municipal lines and the city’s 4,511 fire hydrants. To report any needed repairs or concerns, call the Water and Wastewater Operations at 432-685-7320. The city also maintains the storm water drainage system, which is officially called the “Drainage Utility” department. You can be a good neighbor by raking out any debris in the gutter and storm drains in front of your home. To report any concerns about water drainage, call 432-685-7357. 

Low water pressure can be caused by either a problem in your home’s plumbing system or an issue with the municipal lines. In the home, there may be a clog in the water softener. And on the municipal side, it could be a problem like a faulty water meter, a crimp in the service line, or a water main leak. You can always check with your neighbors to see if they have reduced water pressure. If so, the problem is likely with the municipal lines. The city asks residents to call 432-685-7270 to report low water pressure in their area. 

When Do You Need Permits for Plumbing Service in Midland?

Minor repairs like gasket replacement or a new showerhead do not typically require a permit. Services like a hot water heater installation or sewer line service do require a permit. Current regulations and costs are posted in Midland’s Permit Fee Schedule. If you have questions about plumbing permits, you can reach the Permits and Inspections Department at 432-685-7390.

One benefit of hiring us is that we take care of obtaining any permits for you. You should steer clear of plumbers who offer to cut costs by skipping the permit process. Plumbing permits are more than red tape. Permits ensure that work is done up to code, which protects the health and safety of your family.
