Common causes of water damage in Austin
Flash floods
Central Texas is known as Flash Flood Alley: thin soils and steep creeks mean heavy rain turns into fast-rising water, especially along creeks and low-water crossings.
Hard freezes
Winter Storm Uri in February 2021 burst pipes across Texas. Homes built for heat often have pipes in attics and exterior walls that are vulnerable when temperatures drop.
Foundation and slab plumbing
Expansive clay soils move with wet and dry seasons, which can stress slab plumbing and cause leaks.
Attic HVAC
AC units and condensate pans in attics can overflow into ceilings during long cooling seasons.
What to do right now
- Shut off the water at the main valve if it's a pipe or appliance.
- Stay away from water near outlets and the electrical panel.
- Photograph everything before cleanup, for your insurer.
- Start drying: the EPA says drying within 24–48 hours prevents mold in most cases (EPA: A Brief Guide to Mold, Moisture and Your Home).
