Garland’s pipes, by era
Garland's population went from about 10,500 in 1950 to nearly 139,000 in 1980. Here's what that building boom left in the walls:
- 1950s and early 1960s (the blocks around downtown, Travis College Hill, Embree): galvanized steel was still common. Expect rust, scale and pressure loss.
- Eastern Hills (median home built 1967): typically copper, often under the slab, now 55+ years old.
- Club Hill (median 1976) and Camelot (median 1977): copper under the slab is typical, and some homes from the late 1970s on have polybutylene. Repeat slab leaks are common at this age.
Who owns the water line in Garland
The City of Garland is unusually clear: the pipe before and including the meter belongs to the City, and the pipe after the meter belongs to the homeowner. Meter boxes are usually inside your property line, between the road and the sidewalk, and Garland uses six different meter box lid styles. Your house shutoff is usually near the outdoor faucet closest to the meter, sometimes buried up to two feet down.
If the leak is at the meter or on the street side of it, call the City. If it’s between the meter and the house, that’s your service line, and that’s a job for us.
Garland also publishes service-line material information for its federal lead and copper inventory; check the City’s lookup for your address.

How a Garland repipe works
- Drop count and route plan. Slab homes get rerouted overhead through the attic and walls; the old lines in the slab are abandoned in place.
- Fixed price at our per-drop rate, in writing.
- PEX to every fixture with new shutoffs.
- Pressure test and patch. We patch the access openings. The written quote will say whether texture and paint are included.
- Yard line if needed. New service line from the meter to the house shutoff, plus a new shutoff valve you can actually reach. A typical yard water line replacement from the meter to the house runs $3,500–$4,500, confirmed in a written quote after we see the run. We install PEX, with a new shutoff valve you can actually reach.
Repipe cost in Garland: priced per drop
Example (illustration only): a 1960s Garland ranch with 1 full bath, 1 half bath, 2 hose faucets, and a kitchen sink, dishwasher, washer and water heater: 5 + 3 + 2 + 4 = 14 drops.
- Slab: 14 × $1,050 = $14,700, or $12,495 approved same day.
- Pier and beam: 14 × $500 = $7,000, or $5,950 approved same day.

Garland repipe and water line FAQs
How much does a repipe cost in Garland?
$1,050 per fixture drop on a slab and $500 on pier and beam. A 1.5-bath Garland ranch is often about 14 drops: $14,700 on a slab before the 15% same-day discount.
Who owns the water line in Garland, the City or me?
The City owns the pipe up to and including the meter. Everything after the meter, from the meter to the house and all interior plumbing, belongs to the homeowner.
Where is my water shutoff in Garland?
At the meter box (inside your property line between the road and sidewalk) and at the house shutoff, usually near the outdoor faucet closest to the meter. The house shutoff can be buried up to two feet down; we can find and mark it.
Should I fix the slab leak or repipe?
One slab leak in an otherwise sound system can be repaired. A second or third leak usually means the under-slab copper is failing; rerouting overhead with PEX is often cheaper than repeated slab repairs.
Do you use PEX?
Yes. All of our repipes use PEX piping.
Can I finance a repipe?
Yes, subject to credit approval. See our financing page, and remember the 15% same-day discount applies to the quoted price.
