Other risks in Arlington
Aging supply lines
Toilet, sink and washing-machine supply lines from earlier remodels fail with age. Braided steel replacements are inexpensive prevention.
Slab movement
Arlington's clay soils cause foundation movement that can crack under-slab pipes, especially after long droughts followed by heavy rain.
Water heater age
Many Arlington homes keep the tank water heater in a closet or garage next to living space. Tanks older than 10–12 years can rust through at the bottom and release 40–50 gallons onto the slab, soaking carpet and baseboards in nearby rooms.

Attic mold removal questions
Do I need a permit for water damage repairs in Arlington?
Cleanup and drying don't. Rebuild work involving plumbing, electrical or structure generally requires a permit through the City of Arlington's building inspections.
How do I know if I have a slab leak?
Warning signs include an unexplained jump in the water bill, warm spots on the floor, the sound of running water with fixtures off, and cracked or damp flooring.
Is attic mold a deal-breaker when selling a house?
Not usually, if it's remediated and the cause is fixed with documentation. Buyers mainly want proof it was handled correctly.
