Older Housing Stock and Downtown Plumbing Challenges
Big Spring has a substantial inventory of older homes, particularly in the neighborhoods surrounding downtown and along the historic Gregg Street corridor. According to the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey, approximately 45 percent of Howard County's housing units were built before 1970. These homes frequently contain galvanized steel supply lines, clay tile sewer laterals, and cast-iron drain stacks that have reached or exceeded their functional lifespan.
Clay tile sewer laterals are a particular problem in Big Spring's older neighborhoods. Tree roots penetrate the joints between clay pipe sections, causing blockages that start as slow drains and eventually lead to full backups. We use sewer camera inspection to locate root intrusion points and can either cut the roots with a mechanical cutter or replace the affected section with PVC. For severe cases, we recommend a full sewer lateral replacement from the house to the city main.
We responded to a recurring sewer backup at a 1955 home on Johnson Street in Big Spring. The homeowner had hired two other companies to snake the line over the previous year, but the backup kept returning every few months. Our camera inspection revealed a collapsed clay tile section six feet from the foundation where tree roots had completely crushed the pipe. We replaced the damaged section with Schedule 40 PVC and the problem has not returned.
Industrial and Commercial Plumbing Demand
Big Spring's economy includes the Delek US oil refinery, the West Texas VA Medical Center, wind energy operations, and a cluster of oil field service companies. According to the Delek US corporate filings, the Big Spring refinery processes approximately 73,000 barrels of crude oil per day, making it a significant industrial presence. While we do not perform process plumbing inside refineries, we serve the commercial and support buildings, break rooms, offices, and contractor facilities associated with industrial operations.
The West Texas VA Medical Center is one of the largest employers in Howard County. Healthcare facilities require specialized plumbing maintenance, including backflow prevention device testing, medical gas line integrity, and commercial water heater service. We provide scheduled maintenance and emergency service for commercial healthcare plumbing throughout Big Spring.
Restaurants, hotels, and retail businesses along I-20, Gregg Street, and FM 700 also rely on our commercial plumbing services. Grease trap cleaning, commercial drain maintenance, and restroom fixture replacement keep Big Spring businesses running without plumbing-related downtime.

About Big Spring, Texas
Big Spring takes its name from the natural spring that drew Comanche and other Native American groups to this spot for centuries before European settlement. Today the spring feeds Comanche Trail Lake in Comanche Trail Park, one of the most beautiful municipal parks in West Texas. The city serves as the county seat of Howard County and functions as a regional hub for healthcare, education, and industry.
The Big Spring economy has diversified beyond oil over the past two decades. Wind energy operations dot the mesas south and east of town, and the city has attracted distribution and logistics businesses due to its position at the intersection of I-20 and US Highway 87. Howard College provides workforce training and higher education, and Big Spring ISD serves approximately 4,400 students.
Big Spring's cost of living is lower than Midland-Odessa, attracting families and retirees who want West Texas living without Permian Basin housing prices. That steady residential demand, combined with the city's industrial base, creates ongoing need for qualified plumbing professionals who can handle both residential and commercial work.
Emergency Plumbing Response in Big Spring
Big Spring is the farthest city along the I-20 corridor that we serve regularly, about 55 minutes from our Odessa office under normal conditions. For emergencies, we dispatch as quickly as possible and typically arrive within 75 to 90 minutes. We understand that is longer than our response time in Odessa or Midland, and we make up for it by arriving fully equipped to resolve most problems in a single visit.
Our emergency response in Big Spring covers burst pipes, water heater failures, sewer backups, gas leaks, and any situation where water is actively flooding or a gas leak is confirmed. We carry PEX-A tubing, SharkBite push-fit fittings, drain snakes, ball valves, wax rings, and water heater components on every truck.
For gas emergencies in Big Spring, evacuate the building immediately and call 911. Then call (432) 290-8511 for the repair. We detect and repair gas leaks under TX License #42668.
Big Spring's residential neighborhoods include a large inventory of homes built during the 1940s-1960s oil and military boom — many originally constructed for Webb Air Force Base personnel. These homes commonly feature galvanized steel supply lines, cast-iron drain stacks, and slab-on-grade foundations that are now 60-80 years old. Galvanized pipes at this age typically have significant interior corrosion that restricts water flow, while cast-iron drains develop cracks and root intrusion at joints.
We recommend camera inspections for any Big Spring home with original plumbing to assess condition before small issues become emergencies.
Big Spring receives its water from the Colorado River Municipal Water District, supplemented by local well production. The blended water is treated but retains the high mineral content characteristic of West Texas — typically 12 to 18 grains per gallon of hardness. The city's historic spring that gave the town its name no longer serves as a municipal water source, but artesian conditions in parts of town can create unexpected groundwater pressure against slab foundations.
Homeowners near Comanche Trail Park and the original spring site should watch for signs of moisture intrusion and foundation stress on their plumbing.
