Homes in Austin and how they leak
Central Austin has pier-and-beam bungalows from the 1920s to the 1950s. Most of the rest is slab-on-grade, including the enormous growth since 2000 in the suburbs, with attic air handlers and two-story layouts that put plumbing above ceilings.
Local issues that cause water damage
Creek flooding
Onion Creek flooded hundreds of homes on Halloween 2013 and again in 2015, and Shoal Creek and Williamson Creek rise quickly in storms. See flood cleanup.
Freezes and ice
The February 2021 storm and the February 2023 ice storm burst pipes and brought down trees and power lines.
Slab movement
Expansive clay east of the fault line stresses under-slab plumbing.

Questions from Austin homeowners
How do I prepare my Austin home for a freeze?
Cover outdoor faucets, open cabinets on exterior walls, drip faucets, and know where your main shutoff is. If you lose power, shut the water off and drain the lines.
Why did my pier-and-beam floor cup after a leak?
Water in the crawl space raises moisture in the wood from below. The crawl space has to be dried along with the floor.
