Common emergencies in Friendswood
Friendswood faces hard freezes like Winter Storm Uri (Feb 2021) that freeze pipes. Hurricanes and flooding from Gulf Coast storms can overwhelm drainage. Clay soil shifts cause slab leaks, especially in homes built before 1989 (median year). Hard water accelerates water heater failure. Prevent emergencies: insulate exposed pipes, install a pressure regulator, and flush water heater annually.
