Figures from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey 2019 to 2023 five year estimates and the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map.

Homes In Pleasanton And What That Means For Leaks

According to the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey, 2019 to 2023, 10% of homes in the Pleasanton area were built before 1960, 27% between 1960 and 1979, 35% between 1980 and 1999, and 27% since 2000.

A large share of Pleasanton 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 28% of homes are manufactured or mobile homes, where supply and drain lines run under the floor and are exposed to cold.

Ground And Weather In Atascosa County

Pleasanton lies in San Antonio and South Central Texas. North and west of San Antonio, the land rises onto the limestone and caliche of the Edwards Plateau. To the south and east, clay and sandy loam soils take over. Limestone and caliche make blind digging difficult in the Hill Country suburbs, while clay areas see the familiar pattern of slab movement and under slab leaks.

The Pleasanton area is in USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 9a, which means the coldest night of a typical winter drops to about 20 to 25 degrees Fahrenheit. Hard freezes are uncommon, but Winter Storm Uri in February 2021 brought freezing temperatures to nearly all of Texas, and homes here are rarely built with freezes in mind.

Long, hot summers, mild winters and occasional hard freezes, with heavy rain events that can follow dry periods. Along US Highway 281 and the rest of the Pleasanton area, outdoor taps, attic lines and irrigation backflow preventers take the brunt of it.

Responsibility usually splits at the meter. Anything on the street side is a matter for City of Pleasanton; the line from the meter to your Pleasanton house and all the plumbing inside are yours. A meter that keeps turning with everything shut off in a 78064 home points to a leak on the owner's side, which is where high water bill testing comes in.
