Plumbing help for Gilmer and Upshur County
Gilmer is the Upshur County seat, about 21 miles northwest of Longview on TX-300, with about 5,300 people (2025 Census estimate). Every October it hosts the East Texas Yamboree, a sweet potato festival first held in 1935. Around town, many homes sit on larger lots in the country, which means longer water lines, private septic systems and longer drives for any plumber.
Country homes: well, septic and long service lines
- Long service lines. A leak in a long buried line between the meter and the house can run for weeks before you see it. Watch your bill and do the meter check on our leak detection page.
- Septic systems. Slow drains across the house can mean a full tank or a saturated drain field, not a clogged pipe. Ask the plumber which it is.
- Freeze risk. Exposed pipes at the well, pump house or outdoor faucets freeze first in a hard freeze. See frozen pipes.
