HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Last month's winter storm showed how in demand plumbers are and there's a way you can get in on the industry and get paid while doing it. The Houston Public Works department said a quarter of all neighbors had pipe damage during the freeze, and there's still an issue with fixing people's pipes. "Please be patient," said Johnathon Alsobrooks, the owner of Southern Style Plumbing. "We're trying to get to everybody as quick as possible." Alsobrooks is one of many plumbers in the Houston-area trying to help, but he admits it's not easy. "It's been very daunting to take on," he said. "It's been burdensome, but it's been pleasing to be able to help Houston."
