Plumber in Frisco, TX

Frisco is newer than most of where we work. It sits in Collin County and stretches into Denton County along the Dallas North Tollway, and most of the housing dates from the 1990s onward. Stonebriar, Starwood, and the subdivisions that filled in around them.

Newer housing means fewer of the problems that dominate older cities. No galvanized supply lines closing up with rust. No clay sewer pipe with a joint every few feet. Most Frisco homes run PEX or copper, and both hold up well.

So the calls we take here are different.

The Construction Boom Is Reaching Its Water Heater Years

When Frisco was built out, every one of those houses got a water heater. Those units are now somewhere between fifteen and thirty years old, which is past the service life of a tank heater by a wide margin.

This catches people off guard, because the house does not feel old. A 2005 home in Starwood still looks and lives like a newer house. But the tank in the garage has been heating hard North Texas water for two decades, and the sediment that builds up in the bottom of it does not care how the kitchen looks.

The warning signs are mild before they are dramatic: hot water that runs out sooner than it used to, a rumbling or popping sound while the tank heats, or rusty water on the hot side only. Those are worth acting on. The alternative is finding out on the morning the tank splits.

Tank or Tankless

If yours is due, this is the decision in front of you, and there is not one correct answer.

A tankless unit will not run out of hot water and will outlast a tank. It also costs more up front, often needs a larger gas line and a different vent than the tank it replaces, and in water as hard as ours it needs flushing once a year or it scales up and loses performance without announcing it.

A quality tank heater is cheaper to install, simpler to service, and adequate for a household that is not running three showers at once.

Which one fits depends on your gas line, your vent path, how many bathrooms run at the same time, and whether you will keep up with the maintenance. We look at the installation before we recommend anything, and we price it then.

The Rest

Hard water is the constant here as everywhere in the metroplex, and it shortens the life of heaters and fixtures alike. Frisco sits on the same expansive clay as its neighbors, so slab leaks happen even in new construction. Drains clog for the ordinary reasons.
