Plumbing in Houston: warm winters spare most pipes, but; 40% of homes in Harris County were built before 1980, when galvanized and older pipes were common; flash floods here can back up drains.
In Harris County, July highs average about 93°F and January lows about 44°F, with roughly 54 inches of rain a year. That much heat keeps air conditioners running hard for months, so a yearly tune-up pays off.
Over the last 10 years the National Weather Service recorded damaging thunderstorm winds, hailstorms and flash floods in Harris County, with hail up to 2.5 inches across. After a storm, a quick roof and gutter check catches damage before it turns into a leak.

Leaks under sinks, water-heater failures and slow drains are the usual calls; a yearly look at the water heater and shut-offs prevents most surprises.
Galvanized steel and polybutylene pipes are past their life in most homes — low pressure, rusty water or repeated leaks are the signs.
