What Causes Water Damage in Sherman
For its size, Sherman has a high rate of flood insurance claims, and about half its homes were built before 1980. Creek flooding, spring hail, aging plumbing and winter freezes all play a part.
Heavy spring and fall storms push creeks that run through Sherman out of their banks, and low streets fill quickly. Homes near drainage channels and in low-lying areas see water first. Floodwater is Category 3. Flood damage restoration →
Grayson County gets regular spring hail and wind. Damaged shingles and flashing let rain into the attic, and older roofs and large trees in established neighborhoods add to the risk. Ceiling water damage →
Many Sherman homes still have original galvanized supply lines and cast iron drains. They corrode and crack, leaking inside walls and under floors before anyone notices. Water damage cleanup →
Hard freezes reach Sherman most winters, and pipes in attics, garages and outside walls of older homes are often unprotected. Winter Storm Uri in February 2021 burst pipes across North Texas. Burst pipe cleanup →
About 49% of homes in these ZIP codes were built before 1980, a mix of older and newer housing. In older homes, aging supply lines and drains add to the risk.

Why the First 24–48 Hours Matter in Sherman
Floodwater leaves contaminants behind, so soaked carpet, pad and lower drywall usually need to come out. Starting removal and drying early keeps mold from spreading into the rest of the house.
MC 28% → 12% until materials hit dry targets.When Sherman Freezes
Texas freezes are rare but severe, because many pipes were never built for them.
Days of sub-freezing temperatures burst pipes in attics, exterior walls and garages across the state, including Sherman. Many Texas homes run water lines where they were never meant to freeze.
Before a hard freeze
- Know where your main shut-off is and make sure it turns.
- Wrap pipes in the attic, garage and exterior walls; cover outdoor faucets.
- Open cabinet doors under sinks on outside walls.
- Keep heat on if you travel.
- If a pipe bursts: shut off the main, cut power to wet areas from a dry spot, then call.

03Does homeowners insurance cover flooding in Sherman?
Usually not. Water from creeks or flooded streets typically needs a separate flood policy from the NFIP or a private insurer. Sudden indoor leaks like a burst pipe are usually covered by homeowners insurance. Check your own policy. General information, not insurance advice.
04My home is older. What plumbing problems should I watch for?
Look for rusty water, low pressure, stains on ceilings or walls and a meter that moves with everything off. Water damage in Sherman homes often starts with a corroded supply line or a cracked drain. A plumber can check the pipes and tell you what needs replacing.
05How do I protect pipes before a freeze?
Disconnect hoses, cover outdoor faucets and insulate pipes in the attic, garage and any crawl space. On the coldest nights, drip faucets on outside walls and open sink cabinets. Know where your main shut-off is so you can close it quickly if a pipe bursts.
