Homes in Garland: what pros run into
Spring storms bring hail and high winds. Garland is the third largest city in Dallas County.
Duck Creek runs through the middle of the city. 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. Lake Ray Hubbard forms the city's eastern edge.
Clay soils shrink in drought and swell after rain, which can stress underground water and sewer lines over time. Garland Power and Light, owned by the city, supplies electricity.
Permits, licenses and your utility
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 Garland Water Utilities first, since that section usually belongs to the utility. Leaks on your side are typically the owner's job.
An EF4 tornado struck Garland and Rowlett on December 26, 2015. Your water bill comes from Garland Water Utilities, sewage is handled by Garland's Rowlett Creek and Duck Creek wastewater plants, and the City of Garland Building Inspection department issues building permits. Electricity here comes from Garland Power and Light, the city's own electric utility, and gas from Atmos Energy. Much of the housing was built from the 1960s to the 1980s.

Quick answers
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.
How do I find my main water shutoff?
Look where the water line enters the building, often near the meter in a basement, utility room or garage. In apartments there may be one shutoff per building, so ask your landlord where it's before you need it.
Do I need to be home for the plumber?
Usually, yes, or someone who can let them in and answer questions. Renters should also check whether the landlord needs to approve the visit first.
Do you cover Eastern Hills and Club Hill?
Yes, as long as a pro is available. Garland ZIP codes 75040, 75041, 75042, 75043, 75044 are in range, and that includes Eastern Hills, Camelot, Firewheel and Downtown Garland. Share the street name when you call so we can check the right part of town.
Where do permits come from in Garland?
Garland permits come from the City of Garland Building Inspection department. Ask the plumber before work starts whether a permit applies to your job.
Write down any error codes, noises or smells. Details like that speed things up.
