Why Conroe homes need these repairs

Conroe is a fast-growing Montgomery County city north of Houston near Lake Conroe, with older homes near downtown and many new subdivisions. The city pumps deep Jasper aquifer groundwater and buys treated Lake Conroe water, and Gulf Coast clay, long humid summers and tropical storms drive most of the slab leak, water heater and drain calls. Many neighborhoods are served by municipal utility districts rather than the city, so the first question is often who supplies the water.
