Hail, wind-driven rain and flash runoff
March through June brings the region's severe thunderstorms. Hail-damaged roofs and clogged gutters push water into attics and ceilings, often days after the storm when the next rain arrives.

What Lewisville's homes say about water damage
About half homes in Lewisville were built in the 1980s and 1990s. Some homes from that period were plumbed with polybutylene, a gray plastic pipe used until the mid-1990s that is known for failing at the fittings. If you see gray pipe at the water heater or under sinks, have it checked.
If the water heater is original or close to it, look at the base for rust or moisture. A failing tank usually leaks a little before it lets go.
Because homes here are built on slabs, a leak inside a wall or under the floor shows up late: a warm patch, a cupped board or a stain at the base of the wall.
About 36% of homes in Lewisville are in buildings with five or more units. In apartments and condos, water from one unit often reaches the unit below, so tell management or the HOA right away. The building's master policy and your own unit or renters policy may each cover a different part of the damage.
Half of its homes were built in the 1980s and 1990s, and a large share are apartments and townhomes where one leak can reach the unit next door.

If water is coming in right now
- Stop the water. Close the valve at the fixture, or the main shutoff for the house.
- Make it safe. Cut power to wet rooms at the breaker only if you can reach the panel without standing in water.
- Protect what you can. Lift furniture off wet carpet with blocks or foil under the legs, and pull rugs off the floor so they don't stain or trap water.
- Photograph it, then get drying started. Photos come first for insurance; drying should begin the same day. Our first 24 hours guide has the full checklist.
Where the main shutoff usually is
Most Dallas–Fort Worth homes have the main shutoff in the city meter box near the street, plus a house valve on an exterior wall or in the garage. A meter key or a long flat screwdriver opens most meter lids.
If the water came from a toilet, a sewer line or outside, treat it as contaminated: see sewage backup cleanup or flood water cleanup.

Who pays in Texas?
Standard Texas homeowners policies generally cover sudden water damage, such as a burst pipe, but not rising floodwater, which needs a separate flood policy through the NFIP or a private insurer.
The Texas page covers state insurance rules in more detail, and our claims guide explains how to document a loss.

Water damage questions from Lewisville
How quickly does water damage need to be dried in Lewisville?
Start within 24 to 48 hours; the EPA says materials dried in that window are much less likely to grow mold. Hidden moisture inside walls and under floors needs meters and drying equipment to find and remove.
What usually causes water damage in Lewisville homes from the 1980s and 1990s?
Worn supply lines, original shutoff valves, aging water heaters and, in some homes, polybutylene pipe. These parts tend to fail gradually, so a small leak can go unnoticed for weeks.
