Water, fire & mold restoration in Hurst, TX
Hurst developed mostly in the 1950s through the 1970s, and its neighborhoods are dominated by single-story brick ranch homes on slabs. It's one of the older HEB cities, so original cast-iron drains and galvanized lines are still out there.

Homes in Hurst and how they take damage
Cast-iron drains under slab crack and collect roots, leading to sewage backups at tubs and showers. Galvanized supply lines corrode from inside and pinhole. Many homes have had partial repipes, which leaves a mix of old and new materials.
Hurst runs its own water and sewer utility with water from the Trinity River Authority. Many homes have large mature trees whose roots invade older clay and cast-iron sewer lines, a leading cause of backups. Calloway Branch and other creeks cross the city and carry heavy runoff during storms. Aging roofs on 1960s and 70s homes are vulnerable to hail and wind, and attic ventilation in these homes is often poor, adding to attic moisture.
Sewer backups
Old cast-iron and clay sewer lines make backups more likely, especially after heavy rain.
Galvanized pipe pinholes
Corroded galvanized lines leak inside walls slowly, leading to mold.
Storm flooding
Low streets near creeks flood in intense storms.

Hurst restoration FAQ
Why does my Hurst home get sewage in the tub?
The tub or shower is usually the lowest drain in a slab home, so a blocked or broken sewer line backs up there first. Call a plumber to clear it before using water.
Does Hurst require permits?
Hurst Building Inspections permits plumbing, electrical and structural repair work.
