Homes in Carrollton and how they take damage
Homes from the 1980s and early 90s may have polybutylene supply lines. Many water heaters sit in attics or hall closets, so a failure goes straight into ceilings or flooring. Indian Creek and Furneaux Creek neighborhoods get storm runoff.
Carrollton's water comes from Dallas Water Utilities through the city system. The city straddles three counties, so your flood map, appraisal district and some services depend on which side of the county line you're on. Many 1980s homes also have second-story additions or game rooms built over garages, where uninsulated plumbing is exposed to winter cold and summer attic heat. Those lines are among the first to split in a hard freeze.
Attic water heaters
Water heaters in attics without a drain pan or pan drain can dump dozens of gallons through the ceiling.
Polybutylene lines
Common in 1980s Carrollton homes; fittings fail with age.
Storm runoff
Indian Creek and Furneaux Creek rise during heavy spring storms.
