Frequently asked questions
Why does foundation movement cause water damage in Dallas?
Blackland Prairie clay swells when it takes on water and shrinks in drought, so slabs crack and door frames rack as the ground moves beneath them. Those same gaps give storm runoff and plumbing leaks a path under the floor. After a wet spring or a long dry spell, foundation movement is often why water first shows up inside a Dallas home.
When is water damage most likely in Dallas?
Spring and fall. DFW Airport's 1991–2020 normals put May at 4.78 inches and October at 4.37, the two wettest months in a 37.01-inch year. North Texas spring systems can drop an inch in a single hour behind hail and straight-line wind, so water damage here tends to arrive in one burst rather than as steady seasonal rain.
Do older Dallas homes have different water problems than newer ones?
Yes. The bungalow belts of East Dallas, Lakewood, and Oak Cliff keep 1910s–1940s frame houses on pier-and-beam, where a crawlspace can stay damp long after the rooms above look dry. Post-war construction is overwhelmingly slab-on-grade, where water travels under flooring instead. With a median build year of 1983, Dallas has a large share of both patterns.
