Leander is the 26th largest block of laterals we cover in Texas, carrying about 0.8% of the 4,766,101 homes on our TX list, and its housing runs older than 20% of the TX towns we route. Age concentration matters on a lateral: where a whole street went in one season, the failures arrive in one season too.
81% of homes here are owner-occupied — 24 points above the TX figure. That matters more on a lateral than on almost any other pipe in the house: the run from the building to the main is the property owner’s to repair, and a landlord and a resident owner do not find that out at the same speed.
