What McKinney housing means for plumbing
Clay soil can crack slabs when it dries out. Many newer homes have water heaters in the attic.
Historic Downtown McKinney has a restored courthouse square. Many newer homes here use PEX or copper supply lines, while older ones may have polybutylene, a gray plastic pipe used in the 1980s and 1990s that plumbers watch for. Hail is a common reason for roof claims in spring.
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. Trinity Falls is a newer community in the north.
Local rules
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 McKinney first, since that section usually belongs to the utility. Leaks on your side are typically the owner's job.
Permit questions go to the City of McKinney Building Inspections department. McKinney buys treated water from the North Texas Municipal Water District. Older homes near downtown date to the late 1800s and early 1900s. The Heard Natural Science Museum is on the south side.

Questions from McKinney residents
What causes a gurgling toilet?
Gurgling usually means air is being pulled through the trap because a drain or vent is partly blocked. If several fixtures gurgle at once, the blockage is likely further down the main line.
What does a camera inspection show?
A small camera on a cable runs through the drain and shows cracks, roots, sagging pipe or buildup. It helps decide between cleaning a line and repairing it.
Any McKinney details worth mentioning when I call?
McKinney is the county seat of Collin County. Stonebridge Ranch is a large master-planned community started in the late 1980s. Adriatica is a Croatian-style village development. It helps to say roughly when your home was built.
