How long does a typical garbage disposal last in North Texas?

A standard garbage disposal usually lasts between 8 and 12 years, though the hard water in Plano can cause internal corrosion that shortens this lifespan. If your disposal is humming but not spinning, leaking from the bottom, or requiring frequent resets, it is likely time for a replacement. We recommend choosing a model with stainless steel grinding components to better resist the mineral-rich environment of our local water.

Where is the main water shut-off valve usually located in Plano homes?

In most Plano residences, the main water shut-off valve is located in a concrete or plastic box in the front yard, near the sidewalk or street. You may need a 'water meter key' to open the lid and turn the valve, though some homes also have a secondary shut-off valve located where the main line enters the house. It is vital for every homeowner to locate this valve before an emergency occurs, such as a burst pipe during a winter freeze.
