Who handles what in Carrollton
Texas licenses plumbers through the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners, which has an online license search. If a leak is on the street side of the meter, call the City of Carrollton first, since that section usually belongs to the utility. Leaks on your side are typically the owner's job.
Clay soil causes slab movement. Your water bill comes from the City of Carrollton, sewage is handled by the city's sewer system, with treatment by the Trinity River Authority and Dallas, and the City of Carrollton Building Inspection division issues building permits. The Elm Fork of the Trinity River runs through the city.
Carrollton homes, up close
Carrollton has one of the largest Korean business districts in North Texas. Many homes were built from the 1970s to the 1990s.
The historic downtown square has shops and a DART Green Line station. Original shutoff valves in mid-century homes are often stiff or seized, so it's worth having them exercised or replaced during other work. Josey Ranch Lake is a city park and library site.
Freezes are short but real here, and many homes have pipes in attics or on outside walls that aren't protected, so a cold snap can split them. Indian Creek Golf Club is city-owned.

Quick answers
Is one slow drain worth a call?
One slow drain can often be cleared with a plunger or by cleaning the trap. Several slow or gurgling drains at once point to a problem further down the line.
How long do water supply lines last?
It depends on the material. Copper can last many decades, while older galvanized pipe tends to narrow and rust. Braided connectors under sinks and toilets are worth replacing every several years.
Which parts of Carrollton can you help with?
Yes, as long as a pro is available. Carrollton ZIP codes 75006, 75007, 75010 are in range, and that includes Country Place, Trinity Mills, Furneaux Creek and Rosemeade. Share the street name when you call so we can check the right part of town.
What should a plumber know about homes in Carrollton?
Carrollton spans Dallas, Denton and Collin counties. Spring storms bring hail. Many homes have gas water heaters in the garage. Mention your street and the age of the house when you call.
Who pays when the sewer backs up?
It depends on where the blockage is. Problems inside the home or in the private lateral are usually the owner's responsibility. A camera inspection shows where the trouble sits.
Clear a path to the problem area so the visit goes faster.
