Near Southside has a specific set of water damage problems that come from its age, its soil, and its weather. The clay soil under Fort Worth expands and contracts with the seasons, which stresses pipes and foundations. The older housing stock has plumbing that is past its expected life.
Fairmount and Ryan Place were built before PVC sewer lines were standard. The clay laterals crack as the soil shifts, and tree roots find the cracks and grow into the line. The result is a sewage backup into the lowest drain in the house.
The clay soil under Near Southside expands when wet and shrinks when dry, which puts stress on the pipes running under the slab. Copper lines are especially vulnerable. A slab leak can run for weeks before you see wet flooring or a high water bill.
Heavy spring and fall storms overwhelm the storm drains in low-lying parts of Hemphill Heights and near the river. Water backs up into crawl spaces and ground-floor units. Because it is storm water, it is contaminated and must be treated as Category 3.
North Texas gets a hard freeze most winters, and Near Southside's older homes have supply lines in exterior walls and unheated attics. When the temperature drops into the teens, those lines freeze and split. The damage shows up when they thaw and water pours out.
