What That Means for the Call
A house built after 2000 has newer drain and supply pipe than most of the Lake Houston area, so the likelier jobs are a water heater that has outlasted its tank, a drain stoppage, or a hidden leak that the meter check will confirm.
Septic is the exception here. Some acreage pockets are on it, and the septic-or-sewer page shows how to tell. If yours is one, the Harris County rules on the permits page apply.
Why the Owner Share Matters
At 82.6% owner-occupied, most calls come from the people who live in the house and will live with the repair, which tends to favor repairs done properly over the cheapest patch.
