Why Irving’s Mix of Old and New Homes Both Spring Leaks

Irving includes older homes in Plymouth Park, the Heritage District, and the Hospital District, along with newer slab-built communities in Las Colinas and Valley Ranch. Older properties may have copper or galvanized supply lines that deteriorate internally over time, while slab homes can develop leaks beneath the foundation that remain hidden longer. In either setting, a concealed leak can waste water and cause damage before visible signs appear.

Our team uses acoustic sensors and pressure-isolation testing to locate leaks before opening walls, floors, or concrete. The EPA WaterSense program estimates that household leaks waste nearly 1 trillion gallons of water annually nationwide.

Irving receives treated surface water sourced from Lake Chapman through Lewisville Lake and finished by the City of Dallas. Its mineral content and chloramine treatment can gradually affect copper lines, brass fittings, and rubber gaskets, contributing to plumbing wear over time.
