Responsible Master Plumber Bradley Earp, M-43562 · $29 service fee · published prices · financing available · 15% off same-day approval
Princeton sits on U.S. 380 in Collin County, between McKinney and Farmersville. It began as a railroad stop called Wilson's Switch in the 1880s and stayed a small farm town until the current boom: about 17,000 people in 2020 and more than 37,000 in the Census Bureau's 2024 estimate. Most houses are new, but the older core and any pre-1990 streets still need sewer and water line work. We quote published prices in writing.

Princeton homes and neighborhoods
The Census Bureau's ACS 2024 5-year estimates put the median year a Princeton housing unit was built at 2014, with about 10% of units built before 1980 and about 13% before 1990. The replacement market is concentrated in the original town, not in the newest 380-corridor subdivisions.
In 1881 the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad built through land farmed by the Wilson brothers; locals called the stop Wilson's Switch. The post office could not use the name Wilson, so residents submitted Princeton in honor of landowner and town promoter Prince Dowlin, and the office opened in 1888. In 1940 a camp of 76 cabins west of town housed migrant workers during the onion and cotton seasons; in 1945 the site became a prisoner-of-war camp for German prisoners.
Today Princeton is a fast-growing Collin County city on the Blackland Prairie, eight miles east of McKinney on U.S. 380. Shrink-swell clay is typical and is hard on older joints. If your house predates 1990, a camera inspection is the right first step; newer houses more often need a single repair.
What a Princeton homeowner owns
The City of Princeton provides retail water and sewer service and maintains the local mains. The city purchases treated water from the North Texas Municipal Water District, which also treats Princeton wastewater. The sewer service line from the house to the city's connection, and the water line on the house side of the meter, are typically the property owner's, including under-slab plumbing. Confirm the exact split with the city if a break is in the street.
