Your Neighborhood Plumber in Hurst
Hurst was a farm town until Bell Helicopter announced its plant in 1951, the same year residents voted to incorporate. The population jumped from about 10,000 in 1960 to more than 27,000 by 1970, and by then the city had nearly run out of room. The result is a city full of 1950s and 1960s ranch homes around SH 10 and SH 183, with newer construction mostly in north Hurst. If you need a plumber in Hurst, that housing history shapes nearly every repair.

Plumbing Services in Hurst
Hurst plumbing needs lean heavily toward older homes, but we also serve the newest streets in town:
- Leak detection: slab leaks in homes that are 60 years old, plus the stress that clay soil puts on under slab lines in north Hurst.
- Water line service: in Hurst the homeowner owns the line from the meter to the house.
- Sewer services: outside sewer line repairs are typically the homeowner's responsibility, not the city's.
- Drain services: original drain lines in 1950s and 1960s homes collect decades of buildup.
- Water heaters: Hurst requires a permit for water heater work, including a TCEQ customer service inspection.
- Gas line service: Hurst requires a permit for gas leak repairs on Atmos Energy service.
- Repiping: a long term fix for ranch houses with repeated leaks.
Because so much of Hurst went up in a 15 year window, many neighbors are dealing with the same aging systems at the same time. Need cooling or heating help too? See our Hurst HVAC services.
What Hurst Homes Are Up Against
- Water supply: Hurst Public Works buys most of its treated water from the City of Fort Worth, which draws on lakes such as Eagle Mountain, Richland-Chambers and Cedar Creek. Hurst also runs city wells in the Trinity Aquifer during peak season, so tap water is a blend of surface and ground water.
- Disinfection: the city uses chloramines, averaging 2.38 ppm in its 2025 report, and flushes hydrants citywide every month. Chloramine can shorten the life of rubber parts in toilets, so a worn flapper may call for toilet repair.
- Hardness: Hurst's report does not list a hardness figure we could confirm, and the well blend can change it, so we test at your tap before recommending water filtration.
- Soil: USDA soil data shows high shrink swell clay in north Hurst near Chisholm Trail, while older south central areas like Walker Oaks sit on lower movement terrace loam. More movement means more stress on slab plumbing.
- Line ownership: the city owns the water line from the street to the meter. Everything from the meter to your house is yours.
- Watering rules: Hurst has a permanent twice a week sprinkler schedule and no irrigation from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and sprinkler systems need a city permit.
Hurst Neighborhoods We Serve
We work all over Hurst, from Pipeline Rd and Brown Trail in the south to Precinct Line Rd and Glade Rd up north, including the streets around North East Mall.
- Bellvue Addition: early postwar homes from the mid 1950s on streets like Harrison Ln, some of the oldest plumbing in the city.
- Simpson Park Addition: one story homes from about 1960 near Norwood Dr, prime age for drain and sewer line inspections.
- Walker Oaks Addition: 1960s brick ranches where gas water heaters are common and replacement needs a permit.
- Oak Park Estates: early 1960s ranches on roughly 1/3 acre lots, which can mean longer water and sewer runs to the street.
- Hurst Hills Addition: late 1960s homes, partly in a creek floodplain soil area, where drainage and sump pumps can come up.
- Chisholm Trail Estates: 2004 to 2015 two story homes on high shrink swell soil, worth watching for slab leak signs.
- Adkins Park: new luxury homes near Little Bear Creek with multiple baths and larger water heating needs.
