With The Colony’s first homes now past 50 years old, a local master plumber urges camera inspections before recurring clogs turn into under-slab repairs.
THE COLONY, TX, UNITED STATES, November 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Aqua Pure Plumbing, an owner-operated plumbing company based in The Colony, is advising homeowners in the city’s oldest neighborhoods to have their original cast iron drain and sewer lines camera-inspected. The first families moved into The Colony in October 1974, which puts the city’s earliest homes past the 50-year mark, and many of them still drain through the pipe they were built with.
The Colony’s housing story starts in 1973, when developers Fox and Jacobs purchased 3,000 acres around State Highway 121 and FM 423 with plans for a community built around single-family homes. The city incorporated in January 1977 and counted 11,586 residents by the 1980 census. The city has since grown to 44,534 residents, but the neighborhoods from that first decade are now reaching the age when original plumbing shows its limits. In the company’s field experience, many homes in the area built before the mid-1980s still have their original cast iron drain or sewer pipe.
Cast iron rarely fails all at once. It corrodes from the inside, and scale narrows the pipe. The bottom of the pipe wears thin over time, and joints can crack or separate as North Texas clay soil swells and shrinks around them. Because the rough interior catches grease and paper, the same drain often clogs again a few weeks after it was cleared. Other warning signs include gurgling or slow drains throughout the house, sewer odor indoors or in the yard, damp flooring or new cracks near drains, and wet spots or root intrusion over the sewer line.
“When a drain in a 1970s home here clogs again a few weeks after it was cleared, the pipe is usually the problem, not the clog. A camera shows us exactly which section has failed,” said Devan Adair, Owner and Master Plumber of Aqua Pure Plumbing in The Colony, TX.
Every cast iron job at Aqua Pure Plumbing starts with a camera inspection, and homeowners can watch the footage alongside the plumber. If a single section has failed, the company recommends a spot repair rather than a full replacement. If the line is failing end to end, the team lays out a written replacement plan, swaps the cast iron for PVC, pulls the City of The Colony permit, schedules the inspection, and tests the new line before anything is closed back up. A second camera pass after the work lets the homeowner see the finished pipe.
For the yard portion of the sewer line, the company offers trenchless pipe bursting where the site allows. A new line is pulled through the old one using two small access pits instead of a full trench, and most of those jobs are finished in a single day.
Cost depends on how much pipe is failing, where it runs, the size and layout of the home, and permit fees. Estimates are free and provided in writing before any work begins. For larger projects, homeowners can apply for financing through Aqua Pure Plumbing with a third-party lender, with no prepayment penalties, subject to credit approval.
The company serves 14 cities across Denton, Collin, and Dallas counties and schedules same-day visits whenever possible, seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
