Houston's mix of clay soil, aging plumbing, and tropical weather makes water damage one of the most common — and most expensive — claims homeowners file. The good news: most of it is preventable.
Failed water heaters top the list. Most tanks last 8–12 years. After that, internal corrosion turns a slow drip into a sudden 40-gallon flood. If your tank is older than a decade, replace it before it fails.
Slab leaks are the silent killer. You won't see them until your floors warp, your water bill spikes, or mold starts blooming under the carpet. Annual leak detection scans pay for themselves the first time they catch one.
Roof leaks after storms account for a huge chunk of insurance claims. After every named storm, walk your attic with a flashlight. If you see daylight or staining, call us before the next rain.
