Homes in Fort Worth and how they leak
Historic neighborhoods have pier-and-beam houses with crawl spaces, older galvanized and cast iron plumbing, and original wood floors that cup when wet. Far north Fort Worth has some of the newest housing in the metro: two-story, PEX-plumbed homes on post-tension slabs, with upstairs laundry and attic HVAC.

Questions from Fort Worth homeowners
Who issues permits in Fort Worth?
The City of Fort Worth Development Services department issues building, plumbing and electrical permits.
Are there extra rules for historic districts in Fort Worth?
Exterior changes in designated historic districts may need city review. Interior drying and repairs usually don't.
How do I protect a pier-and-beam home in Fort Worth from freeze damage?
Close or cover crawl space vents before a hard freeze, insulate exposed supply lines under the house, and let faucets drip. If a pipe breaks under the floor, shut off the main right away; water in a crawl space can go unnoticed for days.
