Plumbing for Roanoke's Fast-Growing Neighborhoods
Roanoke, in Denton County near the US-377 and I-35W corridors, is mostly new. The Census Bureau's 2020–2024 American Community Survey counts about 4,550 homes with a median build year of 2008. About 62 percent went up in 2000 or later, and roughly 46 percent in 2010 or later. Only about 7 percent predate 1980. Ernie's works both the newest subdivisions and those older houses.
In newer homes, the calls are about wear and warranty age. Builder-grade water heaters, valves, and fixtures begin to fail as the original warranty ends, and a tank from a 2009 build has now run 17 years. We install and service tankless units too, which need regular descaling and correct gas and venting. If your home is still under a builder warranty, we'll tell you plainly when a problem is the builder's to fix.
Under the center of town, the USDA soil survey maps the Slidell clay, about 50 percent clay and rated very high for shrink-swell. A new slab on that soil still moves with the seasons, and the water lines beneath it can crack at a fitting. A rising water bill with nothing running, a warm spot on the floor, or a meter that keeps turning with every fixture off all point the same way. We locate the leak electronically before opening any floor, then recommend a spot repair or a reroute.

Why Roanoke Homeowners Choose Ernie’s
Warranty-Age Builder-Grade Wear
Census data shows about 62 percent of Roanoke's homes date from 2000 or later. We replace aging tanks, valves, and fixtures before they fail, and we tell you when a problem is the builder's.
Tankless Install and Service
Tankless units need descaling, proper gas sizing, and correct venting. We install, service, and diagnose them.
Slab-Leak Detection on Clay
The clay under central Roanoke rates very high for shrink-swell in the USDA survey. New slabs move too, and we locate under-slab leaks electronically.
Older Homes Too
About 7 percent of Roanoke's homes were built before 1980. We repair older supply lines, drains, and shutoffs as readily as new-build work.
