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.

The local picture in DeSoto
Joe Pool Lake lies a few miles west. Many homes have a gas water heater in the garage.
Thorntree Country Club anchors one of the city's older neighborhoods. In many ranch and split-level homes the water heater, washer and laundry sink sit in a basement or garage, so a slow leak can go unnoticed for weeks. DeSoto is in southern Dallas County.
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. Most homes were built from the 1970s to the 1990s.
Before you call
Take a photo of the model label on the water heater, toilet or faucet if you can find one.

What's covered after the visit?
