Common emergencies in Wells Branch
Wells Branch homes built around 1991 are especially vulnerable to freeze damage. During Winter Storm Uri in February 2021, thousands of Texas homes suffered burst pipes. The clay soil in central Texas can shift, causing slab leaks. Hard water from the Edwards Aquifer can clog pipes and cause premature failure. To prevent emergencies, insulate exposed pipes before freezes, install a water pressure regulator, and consider a water softener.
