• Frozen lines after a hard freeze. Winter Storm Uri in February 2021 showed how quickly an unprepared house can lose its plumbing.
• Pipe and appliance leaks. Water heaters, ice makers and dishwashers fail without warning.
• Wind-driven rain and roof leaks. Open ground toward the lake lets storms push rain sideways into weak roofs and windows.

Which service fits Crystal homes

Tips when you call from Crystal

• If you rent, call your landlord or property manager at the same time you call for help, and keep the message in writing.
• If you live in a townhome, duplex or apartment, say so. Shared walls and neighboring units change how water and smoke travel, and the property manager or HOA may need to be involved.
• Know your deductible. Hail and wind claims often use a percentage, while water claims usually use a flat amount, so the numbers differ by cause.
• Pets and children should stay out of any area with standing water, soot or visible mold until a provider says it is safe.
