Leak Problems We See Most In New Deal

Based on the age and type of homes here, the ground they sit on and local winters.

Leaks Under Older And Raised Homes

20% of homes predate 1960 and 61% are manufactured homes, so a good share of New Deal plumbing runs under raised floors. Those lines are exposed to cold and rarely inspected, which lets a slow leak soak joists and insulation for months.

Crawl Space Leak Detection →

Pipes From The Polybutylene Era

About 30% of New Deal homes were built between 1980 and 1999. Many from that period were plumbed with polybutylene or early copper, and both are now at an age where fittings crack and pinholes form. Isolating and pressure testing each line shows which run is failing.

Water Leak Detection →

Freeze Damage To Buried And Outdoor Lines

Zone 7b winters reach about 5 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit, cold enough to crack shallow yard lines, hose bibs and backflow preventers in New Deal. Some cracks only start leaking weeks later when the ground thaws.

Underground Water Leak Detection →

Aging And Shared Service Lines

With 1 water systems registered locally and many older lots, service lines in New Deal vary widely in age, material and route. A leak between the meter and the house shows as low pressure, a wet meter box or a soggy strip across the yard.

Homes In New Deal And What That Means For Leaks

According to the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey, 2019 to 2023, 20% of homes in the New Deal area were built before 1960, 26% between 1960 and 1979, 30% between 1980 and 1999, and 24% since 2000.

A large share of New Deal homes date from 1980 to 1999. Polybutylene, the gray plastic supply pipe installed in many homes from roughly 1978 to 1995, can turn brittle and fail at its fittings, and copper lines from the same era are now reaching the age when pinhole leaks start.

About 61% of homes are manufactured or mobile homes, where supply and drain lines run under the floor and are exposed to cold. About 98% of occupied homes are owner occupied, so most callers are homeowners deciding on their own repairs.

Ground And Weather In Lubbock County

New Deal lies in the Panhandle and South Plains. The High Plains have deep loams with a hard caliche layer below, and the region sits on the Ogallala Aquifer. This is the coldest part of Texas, so freeze damage to exposed lines, crawl space plumbing and irrigation backflow preventers is a regular winter concern.

The New Deal area is in USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7b, which means the coldest night of a typical winter drops to about 5 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Hard freezes are a routine part of winter here, so exposed pipes, crawl spaces, hose bibs and irrigation backflow preventers need protection every year.

Winters are cold with frequent hard freezes, summers are hot, and the wind is constant. Along Interstate 27 and the rest of the New Deal area, outdoor taps, attic lines and irrigation backflow preventers take the brunt of it.

Who Supplies Water In New Deal

For a typical New Deal home, City of New Deal looks after the meter and the pipe on the street side, while the service line from the meter to the house belongs to the owner. If water is bubbling up at the meter box, report it to City of New Deal first. If the dial moves with every tap off, the leak is on your side, and a meter leak test is where we start.

Who Supplies Water In New Deal, And Who Fixes A Leak At The Meter?

The main public system is City of New Deal. In most Texas systems the provider maintains the meter and the pipe on the street side, while the owner is responsible from the meter to the house. If water is coming up at the meter, call the provider on your bill first. If the meter moves with everything off, the leak is on your side.

Are Slab Leaks Common In New Deal?

39% of homes in the New Deal area are detached houses, and most Texas houses from the 1960s onward sit on concrete slabs with water lines beneath. Warm floor spots, a water heater that runs constantly and a moving meter are the signs to watch for.

Can Pipes Freeze In New Deal?

Yes. New Deal is in USDA zone 7b, where a typical winter's coldest night reaches about 5 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit, and severe events like February 2021 go well below that. Pipes in attics, exterior walls, crawl spaces and above ground backflow preventers are most at risk. Some cracks only leak after the thaw.

How Do I Check My New Deal Home For A Leak Before Calling?

Turn off every faucet, appliance and sprinkler zone, then open the meter box, the one City of New Deal reads each month, and watch the small triangle or star shaped low flow indicator. If it moves over 15 minutes, water is leaking. Close the main shutoff at the house: if it still moves, the leak is probably on the service line to your New Deal home.

Which New Deal ZIP Codes Do You Cover?

We cover 1 ZIP code in the New Deal area, including 79350. Nearby areas in Lubbock County and beyond are covered too, so call even if your address is on the edge of town.

How Quickly Can Someone Come Out In New Deal?

Our line is answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When you call from New Deal, Shallowater or Idalou, the specialist confirms availability and an arrival window on the call, and for an active leak talks you through shutting off the water while you wait.

What Does Leak Detection Cost In New Deal?

It depends on the leak. In New Deal the most common job is leaks under older and raised homes, and cost varies with how many lines need testing, whether the leak is under concrete or in the yard, and whether it is an after hours emergency. You will hear how pricing works on the call before anyone is sent.

Do Older Homes In New Deal Leak More Often?

Age matters. 46% of homes in the area were built before 1980, when galvanized steel and early copper were standard. Those materials corrode and thin with hard water, so pinhole leaks and joint failures become more likely as the decades pass.
