When to call, and what to do first

For the problems Killeen homeowners call about most, and why they come up here:

• Slab Leak Repair

  Why it comes up in Killeen: Expansive clay moves slab foundations and stresses pipes underneath.

  Signs:

  Warm floor spots, sound of running water, a spinning meter

  Urgent when:

  Water surfacing through the floor or a large bill jump

  Before help arrives:

  Close the main shutoff if water is visible

  Repair or replace:

  One leak: spot repair. Repeated leaks: reroute the lines

• Frozen Pipe Repair

  Why it comes up in Killeen: Hard freezes catch exposed and attic pipes unprepared.

  Signs:

  No water at a faucet in freezing weather; frost on a pipe

  Urgent when:

  A pipe has split or water is spraying

  Before help arrives:

  Open the faucet, warm the pipe gently; never use an open flame

  Repair or replace:

  Thawed and intact: no repair. Cracked: replace that section

• Water Heater Replacement

  Why it comes up in Killeen: Frequent military moves leave tanks unmaintained until they fail.

  Signs:

  Water around the tank base, rusty hot water, a tank past 10 years

  Urgent when:

  The tank itself is leaking

  Before help arrives:

  Turn off gas or power and close the cold-water valve

  Repair or replace:

  Leaking tank: replace. Failed part on a younger tank: repair

Why Killeen homes need these repairs

Killeen grew up beside Fort Hood, now Fort Cavazos, and has many renters, military families and subdivisions built from the 1980s on. The city buys treated water from Belton Lake and Stillhouse Hollow Lake, and Central Texas clay soil, summer heat and hard freezes drive slab leaks and frozen pipes.
