Dallas water damage cleanup and restoration
Dallas water damage calls come from hail-damaged roofs, pipes that burst in rare hard freezes, slab leaks and flash floods. Winter Storm Uri in February 2021 burst pipes across North Texas, many of them in attics and exterior walls that were never built for days below freezing. DFW also sits in one of the most hail-prone parts of the country, and spring storms regularly strip shingles and crack skylights.

Why it happens here
The 3 most common water problems in Dallas
- 1
Hail and roof leaks
Spring hail cracks shingles and flashing. The leak often shows up weeks later, as a ceiling stain after the next heavy rain.
- 2
Freeze bursts
Pipes in attics and exterior walls split during hard freezes, and usually start leaking when they thaw. Know where your main shutoff is before winter.
- 3
Slab leaks
Clay movement can crack supply lines under the slab. Warm spots on the floor, a running meter or a sudden jump in the water bill are the usual clues.
Dallas homes and plumbing
Older neighborhoods such as Lakewood, Oak Cliff and the M Streets have pier-and-beam houses with plumbing in a crawl space. Most homes built since the 1960s are slab-on-grade over the region's expansive Blackland Prairie clay, which swells when wet and shrinks in drought. That movement stresses foundations and the water and drain lines under them. Many homes also put water heaters and AC air handlers in the attic.
