Garage water heaters
soak drywall, storage boxes, and the slab.
Appliances cause more water damage calls than almost anything else. The leak is often slow and hidden behind or under the appliance, so it spreads for days before it is noticed. When it is not slow, like a water heater tank that splits, it can put 40 to 50 gallons on the floor in minutes.

A large share of Grapevine homes were built in the 1970s through the 1990s. Many still have water heaters in garages, utility closets, or attics, and tanks usually last about 8 to 12 years. When the tank rusts through, water pours out and keeps coming until the cold water supply is shut off.

send water under walls into hallways, bedrooms, and carpet.
come through the ceiling. These are the most damaging.
close the cold water valve on top of the tank, and turn off the gas or the breaker.
Rubber supply hoses crack with age and can burst under full pressure. Drain hoses pop out of the standpipe. Upstairs laundry rooms send water through the ceiling below.
You reach us at (817) 555-0192. We ask where the water is, whether it looks clean or dirty, and whether power is safe. If the source is still running, we walk you through shutting it off.

Air movers and dehumidifiers run until readings meet the dry standard. Then we clean, treat, and handle repairs so you keep one point of contact.

Supply lines and drain hoses under the dishwasher leak slowly. Water spreads under the cabinets and flooring, and often shows up first as warped cabinet bases or loose floor tiles.
Thin plastic ice maker lines crack or come loose. Because the fridge hides the floor, water can sit under it and under nearby cabinets for weeks.
Your air conditioner pulls a lot of water out of the air during a Grapevine summer. That water drains through a condensate line. When the line clogs with algae or the drain pan rusts through, it overflows.

leak into walls and flooring around the closet.
We find how far the water traveled, which is often much farther than it looks, then extract, remove wet materials that cannot be saved, dry cabinets and walls in place when possible, and repair the damage. We document the failed appliance for your insurer.
Straight answers for Grapevine homeowners and businesses.
(817) 555-0192 →Yes. Shut off the water supply to the tank and call us. The damage grows quickly, especially if the tank is in a closet or attic.
Often, yes. We remove the toe kicks and dry under the cabinet bases. Particleboard that has swelled cannot be saved, but solid wood cabinets often can.
Sudden failures like a burst washer hose are usually covered. Slow leaks over a long time are often not. Photos of the failed part help.
Have the condensate line flushed during AC service each spring, and ask about a float switch that shuts the unit off if the pan fills.
No. We handle the water damage. A plumber or appliance technician replaces the unit.
