What Causes Water Damage in Garland

Duck Creek and Rowlett Creek drain much of the city, and low streets and yards near them can flood in heavy rain. Homes on the east side are near Lake Ray Hubbard. Floodwater is Category 3. Flood damage restoration →
Garland averages about 20 freezing nights a year but only about 1 hard freezes, so pipes are often unprotected. Winter Storm Uri in February 2021 burst pipes across Dallas County. Burst pipe cleanup →

Why the First 24–48 Hours Matter in Garland
In an older home, water often finds old gaps and runs into wall cavities and subfloors. Once it is there, North Texas humidity helps mold start, so extraction and drying should begin early.
MC 28% → 12% until materials hit dry targets.When Garland 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 Garland. 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.

Stay out from under any sagging ceiling. Put buckets under drips and move belongings away. A roofer can tarp the roof once it’s safe. Then call for water removal in Garland, so wet insulation, drywall and flooring can be dried before mold starts.
