Local causes
What causes water damage in 75080
- Mid-century plumbing. Many homes here date from the 1950s through the 1970s. Older galvanized supply lines and cast-iron drains are common sources of burst pipes and sewage backups.
- Slab foundations on clay soil. North Texas clay swells and shrinks with rain and drought, stressing pipes under the slab. See slab leak water damage.
- Mature trees. Established neighborhoods have big trees whose roots find cracked drain joints.
- Hard freezes. During Winter Storm Uri in February 2021, the city made 878 emergency water shutoffs. See frozen pipe water damage.
- Rentals near campus. Unit-to-unit leaks in apartments, and tenants who may not know where the shutoff is. How to shut off your water.
What to do
