What Plano's numbers say about plumbing
Plano counts 293,028 residents (2025 estimate), growing at a middle-of-the-pack 2.6% since 2020[2]. The city spans 71.7 square miles at 4,087 residents per square mile (the 4th densest) and spans Collin County and Denton County, served by ZIP codes 75074, 75093, 75024, 75075, 75025, 75023[3].
With 14% of homes built since 2010 and 18% before 1980[1], Plano's plumbing runs from brand-new supply lines and fixtures to aging pipe, original valves and water heaters past their rated life.
6 ZIP codes cover Plano — 75074 (22% of the city's land), 75093 (20% of the city's land), 75024 (17% of the city's land), 75075 (13% of the city's land), 75025 (13% of the city's land), 75023 (13% of the city's land)[7].

18% of Plano's 117,686 housing units predate 1980 and 14% went up in 2010 or later[1] — the 8th-highest pre-1980 share of the 15 Dallas–Fort Worth–area suburbs we cover; nearby, Allen (7%), Frisco (2%), and Carrollton (26%) predate 1980. The 50% built in 1980–1999 are at the age where original water heaters and valves get replaced.
The biggest single slice — 29% — was built 1990 to 1999, and the median home dates to 1993[1]. Neighbours from the same era tend to hit the same plumbing problems at the same time.

Water from the sky is plumbing work too: 36 flood or flash-flood reports within 10 miles over 2016–2025[4], and FEMA logged 114 flood-insurance claims across Plano's ZIPs[5]. Homes that take water need working drainage, sump pumps and backflow prevention.
47% of homes heat with utility gas, and 43% of households rent[1]. Tenants: report plumbing failures to the landlord in writing.
