An overflowing toilet is one of those worst-case scenarios you hope will never happen to you. Thankfully, most clogged toilets don’t actually overflow, and you’ll be able to use the plunger in peace without contaminated water pouring everywhere. But sometimes, that water just doesn’t stop flowing.

Plumbing can seem a little bit like magic: it’s largely invisible (behind walls or beneath your foundation), and if you’re not an extremely skilled practitioner, meddling with it can cause big problems! We’re going to make it a little less mysterious for you while we discuss slab leaks. You won’t become a qualified magician (or plumber) by reading this, but you’ll come to understand the special skills and tools that help the plumber do their job, and you’ll have a better idea of when to call a plumber. 
Drains are sensitive parts of our plumbing systems, but they’re also the parts that we have the most contact with.

We’ve had some wacky weather here in Texas lately. While tourists might think that we’re just the land of sunshine and hot temperatures, that’s really not always the case. We get flash floods as often as everyone else, and sometimes our arid landscapes can have trouble absorbing the moisture from just a small amount of rain. Our homes aren’t necessarily built to handle that much rain or flooding, and when your basement finally floods, it can feel like a punch in the gut.
However, there are less obvious situations that might still require emergency plumbing support, but you might not know it at the time. Many plumbing problems are insidious, meaning they’re a lot worse than they seem, and a professional plumber might be your best solution in the moment.
Lead pipes aren’t as common anymore in city pipes thanks to some great legislation from the 1960s. Once the science came out on how negatively impacted adults and children were from consuming lead runoff, it became obvious that we needed to overhaul our industrial plumbing systems to completely remove lead from the equation. That’s why you just don’t see lead pipes in large commercial buildings or other public buildings anymore, since those were the places heavily focused on when this change came about.
This is a complicated question, and one that we’d like to spend this blog post talking about. There’s no perfect answer, and it’s important that we’re honest with you as your go-to local professional for any questions that pertain to
