Common emergencies in Plainview
Plainview faces hard freezes like Winter Storm Uri (Feb 2021) that freeze pipes in older homes (median built 1967). Clay soil shifts cause slab leaks, especially in summer. Hard water leads to scale buildup, reducing flow. To prevent emergencies, insulate exposed pipes, install a pressure regulator, and flush your water heater annually.
