What causes water damage in Denton
Appliance and fixture leaks
With 43% of homes built since 2000, Denton's water damage usually comes from what's connected to the plumbing: water heaters reaching the end of their life, washer hoses, toilet fill valves and fridge lines.
Apartments and shared walls
Renters occupy about 51% of Denton's homes. In multi-unit buildings, water from one unit travels through floors and shared walls, so report leaks to the landlord or association in writing right away.
Flash flooding
Houston's flat terrain and heavy rain flood streets and homes, as in Harvey (2017).
