What Causes Water Damage in Little Elm
Little Elm wraps around part of the Lewisville Lake shoreline in Denton County, and almost all of its homes were built after 1980. Flood claims are low. Freezes, spring hail and leaks inside newer homes drive most of the damage.
Little Elm averages about 20 freezing nights a year. Pipes in attics, garages and exterior walls are the most exposed, and Winter Storm Uri in February 2021 burst pipes across Denton County. Burst pipe cleanup →
Spring storms can bring large hail and strong wind across the open ground around the lake. Damaged shingles let rain soak attic insulation and the ceilings below. Ceiling water damage →
Water heaters, washer hoses, ice-maker lines and toilet supply lines fail in new homes as well as old. A small leak behind a cabinet or under a floor can spread a long way before it shows. Emergency water removal →
Lewisville Lake is a flood-control reservoir, and after long wet spells its level can rise well above normal and flood shoreline parks and low ground. Floodwater that reaches a home is Category 3. Flood damage restoration →
Only about 3% of homes in these ZIP codes were built before 1980, so much of the housing is newer. Even newer homes see supply-line, water heater and appliance failures.

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.

03Is my home near Lewisville Lake at risk of flooding?
Flood insurance claims in Little Elm are low, but living near the lake or a creek still calls for a check. Risk depends on your lot’s elevation, nearby creeks and drainage. Check FEMA’s flood map for your address. Homeowners policies don’t cover rising water, so ask your agent about flood coverage. General information, not insurance advice.
04What causes most water damage in Little Elm homes?
Burst pipes in hard freezes, hail-damaged roofs in spring, and appliance leaks lead the list. Water heaters, washer hoses, refrigerator lines and toilet supply lines fail in homes of every age. Checking hoses and the water heater pan once a year catches many problems before they soak floors.
05Does homeowners insurance cover hail damage and roof leaks?
Hail damage is usually covered by homeowners policies, often with a separate wind and hail deductible in Texas. Rain that gets in through the damaged roof is often covered too. Leaks from wear and tear or old roofs usually are not. Check your own policy. General information, not insurance advice.
