Plumbing in Grayson County: what to know
The county's housing mix is newer on average than Denison's but still has plenty of age. Census Bureau estimates put the countywide median year built at 1985, with about 43.7% of homes built before 1980 and about 18.8% built in 2010 or later. Around two-thirds of occupied homes in the county are owner-occupied.
Many rural homes are on septic systems rather than city sewer. Sherman's own plumbing code leaves private sewage systems, including septic, to Grayson County. The county's OSSF Division, at 100 W. Houston in Sherman, handles septic permits, and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality says a permit and approved plan are required to construct, alter, repair, extend or operate an on-site sewage facility. If a backup traces to the septic tank or drain field rather than the house plumbing, you may need a septic professional as well as a plumber.
Hard freezes hit rural homes hard, because well equipment, long exposed runs and pier-and-beam crawlspaces are more exposed. NOAA station data for Sherman shows -3°F on February 16, 2021. Insulate pump houses and exposed lines, know where your main shutoff is, and protect irrigation backflow devices.
Permits depend on where you are. Each city in the county runs its own permit process, and unincorporated areas follow county rules for septic. Ask the plumbing company who pulls the permit for your address.
