Homes in Fort Worth and how they take damage
Historic homes in Fairmount and Arlington Heights often sit on pier-and-beam foundations with crawl spaces, and some still have galvanized plumbing. Postwar neighborhoods have cast-iron drain lines. North Fort Worth homes are newer, with PEX and attic HVAC. Fairmount is a local historic district, which adds review steps to some exterior repairs.
Fort Worth has many older pier-and-beam homes near the Near Southside and TCU area, where crawl-space ventilation and vapor barriers are often missing or damaged.
Historic district rebuilds
In Fairmount and other historic districts, exterior repairs after a fire or storm may need historic review before permits.
Crawl-space leaks
