New house, new plumbing, and still a problem?
People expect a new home's plumbing to be trouble-free. Usually it is, but the first few years bring their own issues: a fitting that was not fully crimped, a drain line knocked out of place during construction, a slab leak as fresh clay settles under the foundation.
New homes in North Texas are built and inspected to the International Plumbing Code (IPC) family of codes that cities adopt with local amendments. An inspection catches a lot, but it cannot test every fitting under real household use for years.
If your home is still under the builder's warranty, report plumbing problems to the builder in writing first. If the problem is urgent, stop the water, document it and get it fixed, then share the plumber's report with the builder.
Outside warranty, the common calls in newer Aubrey homes are water heater and fixture issues, running toilets, and hidden leaks found through a high bill. Leak detection is the place to start when the bill does not add up.
Aubrey snapshot: new homes, split water, round-the-clock calls
Growth is the story in Aubrey, and it shows up in the plumbing calls.
Water supply

Mustang blends aquifer wells with purchased lake water.
Housing
New subdivisions surround the older in-town streets along US 377.
Builder warranties still apply to many homes, so keep the paperwork handy.
Dispatch
Emergency dispatch is available around the clock for Aubrey.
Newer subdivisions can be missing from older maps, so give the subdivision name and the nearest main road.
Before We Arrive: If You Have A Burst Pipe Or Active Leak in Aubrey
New homes hide their valves in predictable places. Here is where to look.
Close the main
In newer Aubrey homes the shutoff is usually in the garage near the water heater or in a valve box by the driveway. Find yours the week you move in.
Cut power to wet areas
If water is near a garage outlet, the laundry or a floor-level plug, switch that breaker off from a dry spot, or wait for help to arrive.
Clear the immediate area
Pull rugs and boxes out of the water's path. New flooring swells quickly, so start with the rooms beside the leak.
Call our 24/7 line
Tell the dispatcher you are in Aubrey, 76227, which utility supplies your water, and if the home is still under builder warranty.
Who supplies your water in Aubrey matters
Aubrey has split water service. Some neighborhoods, such as Venable Ranch, are served by the City of Aubrey. Much of the surrounding area is served by Mustang Special Utility District, headquartered on FM 2931 in Aubrey.
Mustang's reports show a mixed supply: groundwater from the Trinity and Woodbine aquifers, surface water bought from the Upper Trinity Regional Water District from Jim Chapman and Lewisville lakes, and groundwater purchased from the City of Sherman.
A mixed, well-fed supply can carry sediment when something upstream fails. WFAA reported that residents of the Silverado subdivision saw brown, then cloudy water after a well's bottom screen failed and let sand into the system. The utility said the water was not unsafe. For your plumbing, the practical lesson is that sand ends up in aerators, cartridges and water heater tanks.
The same sediment and water heater questions come up across the ten-mile radius around Aubrey, including Pilot Point in 76258 and east Denton in 76208.
What to do after a sediment or cloudy-water event
These steps protect fixtures and appliances once your provider says the water is back to normal.
- Run cold water at the tub spout or an outdoor faucet until it clears.
- Unscrew and rinse faucet aerators and showerhead screens.
- Flush the water heater to clear sand from the bottom of the tank.
- Check the inlet screen on a tankless heater, washing machine and ice maker.
- If sediment keeps showing up, consider a whole-house sediment filter at the main line.
Tank flushing and heater checks are part of water heater repair, and filter options are on the water filtration page.
Common calls by home age in Aubrey
Aubrey has older homes in town and new subdivisions around it. The calls differ.
| Home age | Most common calls | Worth checking |
|---|---|---|
| Under 5 years. | Loose fittings, construction debris in drains, slab settling. | Builder warranty terms. |
| 5 to 15 years. | Water heater wear, fill valves, disposal failures. | Water heater age and anode rod. |
| Older in-town homes. | Galvanized pipe, cast iron drains, low pressure. | Pipe material before a remodel. |
In the newest homes, construction debris in drain lines is more common than people expect. A slow drain in a brand-new bathroom often turns out to be grout, drywall mud or packaging that went down the line during the build.
