Plumbing in South 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.
