Common emergencies in San Juan
San Juan, like much of Texas, faces hard freezes that burst pipes—Winter Storm Uri in February 2021 caused widespread damage. Hurricanes from the Gulf Coast can flood homes and overload sewer systems. Clay soil shifts under homes cause slab leaks, especially in older foundations. Hard water buildup can suddenly fail water heaters. To prevent emergencies: insulate exposed pipes before freezes, install a pressure regulator, and have your water heater flushed annually.
