Montrose is the most mixed housing in Houston. Original bungalows have cast iron drains that have been rusting since the Depression and clay sewer laterals full of live oak roots. Mid-century apartments have galvanized supply lines that choke down to a trickle. New townhomes have three stories of PEX and a tankless heater on the roof, and often a brand-new connection to a very old street main.
We size the job to the house. A bungalow gets a camera in the lateral before anyone talks about digging. A townhome gets a plumber who understands tankless units and pressure across three floors. Bars and restaurants on Westheimer and Montrose Boulevard get drain work scheduled before opening.
