Local risks: Schwertner and Williamson County

The risks in Schwertner in Williamson County are shaped by Texas's climate and housing. Texas has every major cause of water damage: Gulf hurricanes and extreme rainfall on the coast, flash floods in the Hill Country, hail and tornadoes across the north, and winter freezes that burst pipes in homes built for heat. Slab foundations over expansive clay make slab leaks common, and long cooling seasons produce air-conditioning condensate overflows. Problems tend to peak during spring storms, hurricane season and occasional winter freezes, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Foundation movement in expansive clay soils that cracks slabs and stresses buried plumbing
• Hail-punctured roofs and skylights that leak during the next rain
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Toilet and tub overflows
• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Bathroom fans venting into cold attics
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter

First steps for Schwertner property owners

The first hour determines how much can be saved. While a crew is on the way:

• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• Do not run the HVAC system if ducts or the air handler got wet, and do not use household fans on sewage or flood water
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• Shut off the main water valve if the source is a plumbing failure, and turn off power to the affected area if water is near outlets or appliances
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything

When and where damage happens in Schwertner

Regardless of the age of a building, water finds the same weak points: supply connections, roof penetrations, window flashing and anywhere two materials meet.

Winter brings frozen and burst pipes; spring and summer bring the heavy rain, saturated ground and sump failures that flood lower levels. Home fires peak in winter, when space heaters, fireplaces and furnaces are running and holiday cooking and decorating add risk. Humid summers mean mold can establish itself in days, and air-conditioned interiors create condensation on cold surfaces that keeps feeding it.
