Plumbing in El Paso: what to know
El Paso's desert climate brings very hard water and occasional monsoon flash floods.
Hard freezes are infrequent in El Paso, so many homes have pipes in attics, crawl spaces and exterior walls with little insulation. When a rare cold snap does arrive, burst pipes spike across the area within a day or two.
Much of El Paso has hard water. Scale builds up in water heaters and fixtures over time, which shows up as popping noises in the tank, weak shower flow and crusty aerators.
El Paso County and Texas housing: Mostly slab-on-grade homes on expansive clay soils, where foundation movement cracks pipes under the slab.
