Common emergencies in El Paso
El Paso emergencies often spike during hard freezes, like Winter Storm Uri in February 2021, when pipes froze and burst across the city. Clay soil shifts can cause slab leaks, damaging foundations. Hard water accelerates mineral buildup in water heaters and fixtures. To prevent emergencies, insulate exposed pipes, maintain your water heater, and install a pressure regulator.
