Wedgwood and South Hills sit side by side on the city’s neighborhood map, and they were built about a decade apart. Census estimates for the tract holding Wedgwood East put the median build year at 1966, and the 1960s alone produced 874 of its roughly 2,500 homes. Just north, in the South Hills tract around Bilglade Road, the median is 1956 and the 1950s account for 1,186 of 1,905 homes. Sixty years is a long run for any house’s cooling, heating and wiring, and we repair and replace all three. Call us at 817-290-3373.
Heating fuel changes as you move south. In the Wedgwood East tract, 56% of homes heat with utility gas. One tract over, along Wedgworth Road South, electricity heats 66%. Farther south, in the tract shared by Wedgwood South and Candleridge, the houses are mostly from the 1970s and 88% heat with electricity. So a Wedgwood heating call can mean a gas furnace on one street and an electric system a few blocks away.
The City of Fort Worth is also working under these streets. Its Wedgwood and Candleridge project replaces water and sewer mains in the area bounded by Wrigley Way and Wheelock Drive to the north, Altamesa Boulevard to the south, South Hulen Street to the east and Trail Lake Drive to the west. The city says the existing water mains there are cast iron, asbestos cement, PVC and ductile iron, and it lists Whistler Drive, Winesanker Way, Winifred Drive and Whitman Avenue among the streets. Completion is listed for July 2027. A second city project replaces sanitary sewer and water mains on Wedgworth Road South and Minot Road, from Woodway Drive to Vega Drive.
That work is on the public mains. A drain that backs up inside the house is a separate problem in a separate pipe, and it will not clear itself when the street is finished.
The city’s project names three associations it affects: Candleridge, Wedgwood Square and Wedgwood South. Wedgwood East sits next to them, and South Hills and South Hills South border Wedgwood to the north and east. We cover all of them, across the 76133 ZIP code.
A couple of miles north, past South Hills, the 1940s houses of Westcliff, where half the homes near TCU are rented, are another part of our southwest Fort Worth work.

Water and sewer mains. The city’s project page says the existing water mains are cast iron, asbestos cement, PVC and ductile iron, in the area between Wrigley Way and Wheelock Drive, Altamesa Boulevard, South Hulen Street and Trail Lake Drive. Completion is listed for July 2027.
No. The project replaces public mains under the street. A clog in the pipes inside your house stays until it is cleared, and that is a drain cleaning call.
The southern ones. Census figures show electricity heating 66% of homes in the tract along Wedgworth Road South and 88% in the tract shared by Wedgwood South and Candleridge, while the Wedgwood East tract is 56% gas.
By about a decade. The South Hills tract has a median build year of 1956, while Wedgwood East’s is 1966 and the Wedgworth Road South tract’s is 1971.
