Plumbing help in 75238

75238 is the heart of Lake Highlands, the family neighborhood north of White Rock Lake along Skillman Street and White Rock Creek. Almost half of its homes were built in the 1960s and 1970s, about half are single-family houses, and the median home value is close to $570,000. Many houses are original ranches that families have expanded over the decades, with large trees that are now as old as the homes.

What the homes in 75238 mean for plumbing

Lake Highlands homes from the 1960s and 1970s are in the age range where cast-iron drains under the slab begin to crack and scale, original water heaters have usually been replaced once or twice, and copper supply lines can develop pinhole leaks. Slab leaks are common here, as they are across much of Dallas, because the clay soil swells and shrinks with the seasons.

Older homes near the creek can also see drainage and sewer issues after heavy rain, when overloaded lines give waste less room to move.

Common Questions

Questions from 75238 homeowners

Why do slab leaks keep happening in Lake Highlands homes?

Many homes here were built in the 1960s and 1970s on expansive clay soil. As the soil swells and shrinks, the slab moves, and pipes under it can rub, crack or separate. Older copper lines are also prone to corrosion.

My Lake Highlands toilets gurgle after heavy rain. Is that a sewer problem?

It can be. Gurgling after rain often means the main line or the city sewer is overloaded or partly blocked, so air is pushed back through the fixtures. If it happens often, a camera inspection of your lateral is worth doing.

Should I replace cast-iron drains in a 1960s house before they fail?

Not automatically. A camera inspection shows how much life is left. If the pipe is heavily scaled, cracked or flattening, replacing it on your schedule is usually easier than replacing it after a backup.
