La Porte Plumbing

Stepping into La Porte, TX is like taking a step back in time: antique stores, old architecture, and homes dating back to the 1950s.

While there’s something to be said about preserving the old, some things cannot remain—like an old plumbing system. Over time, parts of your system, like your pipes, toilets, and sewer line can become damaged, putting your home at risk for water damage.

When you’re dealing with leaky pipes, water heaters that don’t work, an old sewer line that is causing sewage backup, or even poor water quality, it may be time to consider something new. But if you’re stuck on good old-fashioned service to get the job done, remember that John Moore is one of the oldest names for plumbing services in La Porte and across the Houston Gulf Coast area.

Many homes in LaPorte were built way before the 80s, which means they probably have galvanized pipes that are rusting.

Brown tinted water coming out of your faucets or water marks on your ceilings and walls mean it’s time to change your pipes out. Rust can eat its way through galvanized pipes and cause leaks in your home and extensive water damage to your walls and furnishings. Because rust typically forms in your pipe from the inside out, you may not see it for many years, but it doesn’t mean it’s not there.

To protect your home from damage, John Moore’s certified plumbers will perform either a horizontal repipe or whole-house repipe. A whole house repipe is the ideal solution for homes with galvanized pipes because it means that every pipe will be replaced with an advanced piping solution called PEX piping. PEX piping is flexible and does not rust, so it’s very possible that you may never have to deal with a water leak again.

Over the years, John Moore has visited many older homes in LaPorte to help with their sewer lines.

Most older homes have cast iron sewer lines that shift and break over time. Cracks and holes in a cast iron main line allow debris, mud, and roots to enter into your sewage line and cause a stoppage that prevents your home’s waste-water from draining properly. So if you’re noticing sewage backing up in your downstairs drains or funny gurgling sounds coming from toilets as you shower, don’t wait to have it checked out. A sewage backup can ultimately wind up all over your floors.
With over fifty years in plumbing, John Moore has expert plumbers that know how to solve major plumbing issues like main line stoppages. We will first investigate the blockage, clear it out, and then determine the repair strategy to fix your main line whether it be a tunnel repair, mainline reroute, or reslope. And to give you peace of mind about the work we do, we provide warranties on all of our products and we stand behind our work.

To schedule a no-obligation consultation for a main line repair in La Porte, call 713-730-2525.

Your water may be deemed safe for drinking, but did you know that inorganic contaminants like barium and nitrate tested at the top of the allowable threshold, according to City of LaPorte’s Water Quality Report in recent years?

And those are only two of the thousands of other contaminants that are found in our water supply.

Why expose yourself to potentially harmful water when you don’t have to? John Moore installs whole house filtration systems to ensure every drop of water coming from your tap is purified for drinking, cooking, washing, and bathing. And if you’re dealing with dry hair and dry skin from hard water, John Moore can also advise you on the best water softener systems for your home.
