Why Edinburg homes need these repairs

Edinburg is the Hidalgo County seat in the Rio Grande Valley, home to the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, with many renters and newer slab subdivisions. The city treats Rio Grande water stored in its own reservoir. Long hot summers, hard river water, clay soils and occasional hard freezes drive most of the water heater, softener, slab leak and frozen pipe calls here, from downtown to the UTRGV area.
