Freeze & Storm Risk Check for Bedford

North Texas has its own pattern. Hard winter freezes split attic and exterior-wall pipes, copper supply lines corrode and leak under the slab as the clay soil moves, attic AC condensate lines clog and overflow ceilings in summer, spring hail and wind drive rain into roofs, and aging water heaters and appliance hoses fail. Sewage backups round it out.

Insulate attic and exterior-wall pipes, cover outdoor hose bibs, let a faucet drip on hard-freeze nights, and keep the heat on even when you travel. Know where your main water shut-off is so you can stop a burst fast. The 2021 storm showed how much a single Metroplex freeze can do.

Warm spots on the floor, a water bill that jumps for no reason, the sound of running water when everything is off, or cracked and lifting tile can all point to a leak in the copper under your slab. Call at the first sign, because a slab leak wicks up into cabinets and framing the longer it runs.

If it is safe, shut the water off at the main, stay off the wet floor, keep clear of outlets and the electrical panel, and call us. If the water is a sewer or drain backup, do not touch it, it is Category 3 black water. We talk you through the rest while a crew is on the way.
