Arlington Homes Have Specific Challenges. We Know Every One of Them.

Most of the housing stock in Aggtown was built between the 1950s and the 1980s. That means a lot of slab-on-grade foundations sitting on the expansive clay soil that Tarrant County is famous for. When that clay heaves after heavy rain, water finds every crack. Pier-and-beam homes — especially those built before the 1960s — face crawl space flooding that most homeowners never discover until the mold is already growing.

Arlington averages about 37 inches of rain a year, but the pattern is what makes the difference: most of it falls in intense, short bursts during spring and fall. The Trinity River watershed and nearby Johnson Creek have both contributed to flash flooding events that push water into neighborhoods that have never flooded before. When the drainage infrastructure in older parts of the city gets overwhelmed, we get calls from across the metro.

We understand the insurance landscape in Texas too. Most standard homeowners policies cover sudden and accidental water loss — a broken supply line, an appliance failure, a roof leak after a covered storm. Rising water from outside almost always requires a separate NFIP or private flood policy. We walk you through the documentation so your claim holds up.
