Water, fire & mold restoration in Plano, TX
Plano boomed in the 1980s and 1990s, and most of its housing comes from that era: two-story brick homes on slabs with attic HVAC, upstairs laundry and water heaters in the garage or attic. Now that stock is 30–40 years old, supply lines, water heaters and roofs are failing on schedule.

Homes in Plano and how they take damage
Many homes built from about 1978 to 1995 in Plano used polybutylene plumbing. Plano sits on Blackland Prairie clay, and slab leaks are common in drought years. Hailstorms regularly hit Collin County, and damaged roofs lead to attic and ceiling leaks.
Plano Public Works handles water, sewer and drainage, and the city publishes floodplain maps for Spring Creek, Rowlett Creek and Russell Creek. Many older Plano homes have their water heaters in the attic or in a closet off the garage, where leaks go unnoticed until the ceiling stains.
Polybutylene failures
Plano has a lot of 1980s–90s homes with polybutylene lines. Leaks tend to happen at fittings, often inside walls or ceilings.
Hail and roof leaks
Collin County sees frequent hail. Roof damage that isn't repaired quickly leads to attic mold and ceiling stains.
Slab leaks
Clay soil movement stresses copper lines under the slab, especially after dry summers.
