What Frisco's homes say about water damage
About four in five homes in Frisco were built in 2000 or later, and about half since 2010. In homes this new, the pipe itself is rarely the problem. Leaks tend to come from appliances and connections, such as washing machine hoses, refrigerator lines, water heaters and supply lines under sinks.
Upstairs laundry rooms are common in newer two-story homes, and a burst washer hose there runs straight into the ceiling below. A drain pan and braided steel hoses are cheap insurance.
On a slab foundation, spilled water has nowhere to go but out across the floor. It wicks up drywall and runs under flooring, which is why the damage is usually wider than the wet spot you can see.
Four out of five homes here were built in 2000 or later, so most leaks come from fittings, supply lines and appliances rather than worn-out pipe.
