Homes in Garland and how they leak
Many Garland houses still have original galvanized supply pipe and cast iron drains under the slab. After 50 or more years, those lines corrode, and cast iron drains can crack as the clay soil moves, leading to slab leaks and sewer backups. Firewheel-area homes built in the late 1980s and 1990s are old enough for original water heaters and supply lines to be near the end of their life.
Local issues that cause water damage
Cast iron drain failures
Cracked or root-filled cast iron drains cause backups into ground-floor showers. See sewage backup cleanup.
Duck Creek and Rowlett Creek flooding
Duck Creek runs through central Garland and rises quickly in heavy rain, affecting nearby yards and streets.
Slab movement
Expansive clay under older slabs moves with drought and rain, stressing pipes and causing slab leaks.
