What Denton housing means for plumbing
The 1896 Denton County Courthouse on the Square is now a museum. Denton Municipal Electric is owned by the city, so Denton isn't part of the deregulated electricity market.
Robson Ranch is an active-adult community on the city's southwest side. Galvanized supply lines in older houses narrow from the inside over decades, which is a common reason for weak pressure at one faucet but not another. Clay soil moves with wet and dry spells, which stresses slabs and buried pipes.
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. Spring storms regularly bring hail.
Permits, licenses and your utility
Your drinking water comes from Denton Water Utilities, and wastewater goes to the city's Pecan Creek Water Reclamation Plant. When a drain backs up, the question is where the blockage sits: inside the house or in your private sewer lateral is usually the owner's job, while the public main belongs to the utility. Texas licenses plumbers through the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners, which has an online license search.
Who runs what: Denton Water Utilities for water, the city's Pecan Creek Water Reclamation Plant for wastewater and the City of Denton Development Services department for permits. Electricity here comes from Denton Municipal Electric, the city's own electric utility, and gas from Atmos Energy. The University of North Texas and Texas Woman's University are both in Denton. The Denton Arts and Jazz Festival is held each spring in Quakertown Park.

What people ask us
Why is my water pressure low?
It can be a clogged aerator, a partly closed valve, a failing pressure regulator or old pipes narrowed by scale. If the whole house is low, check with your neighbors and the water utility first.
Should I use chemical drain cleaner?
Use it sparingly, if at all. Harsh chemicals can damage older pipes and make the job riskier for the plumber who comes next. Tell them if you have already poured something in.
Is a small leak under the sink an emergency?
Not always, but it should not wait long. Turn off the valve under the sink, put a bowl down, and call for a repair before the cabinet floor soaks through.
Is my neighborhood in Denton covered?
Yes, as long as a pro is available. Denton ZIP codes 76201, 76203, 76205, 76207, 76208 and others are in range, and that includes Southridge, Lake Forest, Rayzor Ranch and North Lakes. Share the street name when you call so we can check the right part of town.
Where do permits come from in Denton?
