What tends to go wrong near Hiland

We keep this honest: the information below is for ZIP 75040, not a survey of Hiland homes. Your house may differ.

• Slab leaks and supply line failures. Many homes in this part of the city were built decades ago, and aging supply lines, water heaters and shutoff valves are a steady source of calls.
• Roof and hail leaks that show up late. A hail season can leave small roof leaks that stain ceilings weeks later, after the next rain.
• Hidden moisture behind walls. Slow leaks in bathrooms and laundry rooms rot the wall quietly and bring mold with them.

If it happens tonight

1. Check that people and pets are safe.
2. Stop the water or wait for the fire crew to finish.
3. Open windows if there is smoke, and turn on fans only after the fire department clears you.
4. Lift small items, rugs and electronics off wet floors.
5. Call us, then notify your insurer.

Which service fits Hiland homes

What you ask for depends on what happened. A leak or flood usually points to dehumidification, structural drying or carpet water extraction. A fire points to smoke damage restoration. Persistent odor or visible growth points to mold prevention. Whatever the start, drying quickly is what keeps a water problem from becoming a mold problem.

Tips when you call from Hiland

• 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.
• Say whether the water is clean, from a supply line, or dirty, from a sewer or outside. That decides how the crew dresses and what gets thrown out.
• Find your main water shutoff before you need it. Many homeowners learn where it is only during an emergency.
• Keep receipts for emergency expenses, such as hotel stays and fans you bought. Insurers may reimburse reasonable costs.
