In the heat of a Lubbock summer, every drop of water counts. That’s why keeping an eye on your home’s plumbing is more important than ever. Small issues that seem harmless, like a drip or a slight drop in pressure, can quietly waste water, increase your bills, and lead to major damage.
At BTAC, we see a spike in repair calls late each summer. And many of them started as something a homeowner noticed but didn’t act on until it was too late.
If you live in West Texas, here are the plumbing problems you should never ignore.
The Most Overlooked Signs of Plumbing Trouble
These are the signs we hear about all the time. They seem minor until they cause real damage.
- A faucet that never stops dripping
- Low water pressure in a single room
- A warm spot on the floor
- Discolored water from a sink or tub
- A toilet that keeps running
In Lubbock’s dry summer conditions, even a small leak can overwork your plumbing system and waste hundreds of gallons of water.
How Small Leaks Become Big Problems
It’s not just about wasted water. Ignoring a leak can lead to:
- Mold growth inside walls or under flooring
- Structural damage to slabs, cabinets, or foundations
- Spikes in your monthly utility bill
- Unnecessary strain on your pipes and appliances
What seems like a small inconvenience now could turn into a costly repair later.
Water Conservation Matters More Than Ever
During peak summer, Lubbock utilities often encourage water conservation. If your fixtures are leaking, you’re not just losing water. You’re making it harder for the whole community to manage demand.
Fixing leaks and maintaining your plumbing system helps you and your neighbors. It also ensures your home is ready for summer guests, storm surges, and extreme heat.
