A grand jury in Houston indicted two wholesale plumbing supplies distributors and an individual today for conspiring to suppress and restrain competition by fixing prices for the sale of plumbing parts. The companies and the individual face up to five years in prison and fines of $250,000 if convicted. The Department of Justice said the defendants violated Section One of the Sherman Act by setting minimum prices for wholesale plumbing supply sales in southeast Texas, including Harris and Fort Bend Counties.

A clogged toilet, water stains, mold or a foul smell can indicate that there’s a hidden leak in your home’s plumbing system. A plumber can find the leak and fix it before it becomes a bigger problem. Leaking pipes also contribute to high water bills in homes with older fixtures. To save money, homeowners can talk to their plumbers about installing low-flow toilets and faucets.

Licensed plumbers in Houston can help with a wide variety of plumbing problems, including leaky fixtures, clogged drains and sewer lines, and backflow and RPZ testing. They can also install new kitchen and bathroom plumbing fixtures and appliances. They may also perform a complete home inspection on service calls to identify the cause of the problem and recommend appropriate solutions.
