Water on the floor, a ceiling that’s dripping, or mold in a north Fort Worth home? Call or send a few details, and a local water damage pro will get back to you about getting it dried out and fixed.
Fort Worth Water’s 24/7 line
If water is bubbling up in the street or yard, or the whole street has a sewer problem, call Fort Worth Water at 817-392-4477 and choose option 1. It’s answered 24 hours a day for water emergencies, according to the city’s water department. A leak inside the house is a job for your plumber.
One catch up here: a Fort Worth mailing address doesn’t always mean Fort Worth is your water provider. Check your water bill so you know who to call.
New house, still leaking?
A lot of north Fort Worth is new construction, and new houses leak too. Washer hoses split, ice maker lines crack, and AC drain lines in the attic clog and overflow into the ceiling. If the house is still under a builder’s warranty, call the builder about the cause, but get the drying started anyway. Wet drywall won’t wait for a warranty claim.
Leak from the unit next door
In an apartment or townhome, tell the landlord, HOA, or property manager right away, in writing if you can, and take photos of your side. If you rent, the Texas Department of Insurance says most renters policies cover sudden and accidental water damage to your own things.
