Common emergencies in Sherman
Sherman faces hard freezes like Winter Storm Uri (Feb 2021) that freeze pipes in older homes (median built 1976). Clay soil shifts cause slab leaks, and hard water leads to water heater failures. Hurricanes rarely hit Sherman directly, but heavy rain can cause flooding. Prevent emergencies by insulating pipes, installing a pressure regulator, and flushing your water heater yearly.
