Who handles water service issues in the city of Houston?

Houston Public Works manages city water and sewer. Problems on the public side of the meter or in the city main are reported to the city (311). Issues inside your property line are handled by a plumber.

Why are slab leaks so common in Houston?

Most homes sit on slab foundations over expansive clay soil, which shifts as moisture levels change and can stress the pipes underneath.
