Collin County sits in one of the most active hail corridors in the country, and roof damage leads to attic and ceiling leaks. West Plano homes built in the 1990s often put the laundry room upstairs. A burst washer hose can release several gallons a minute, running through the subfloor into the kitchen or family-room ceiling below. Stainless braided hoses and a drain pan with a sensor are inexpensive prevention.
Upstairs laundry rooms and bathrooms are the classic Plano water loss: a washer hose or toilet supply fails and water runs through the floor into the kitchen or living room ceiling below.

Other risks in Plano
Polybutylene and aging plumbing
Some homes built from the late 1970s to the mid-1990s used polybutylene supply lines, which can fail without warning. Many have been replaced, but not all.
Shower pan leaks
Original mortar shower pans in 1980s homes crack over time, slowly wetting subfloors and walls behind tile.

Ceiling water damage repair questions
What permits are needed for water damage repairs in Plano?
Drying needs no permit. Rebuild work involving plumbing, electrical or structural changes is permitted through the City of Plano Building Inspections department.
How do I know if my Plano home has polybutylene pipes?
Polybutylene is usually gray (sometimes blue or black) plastic marked 'PB2110'. You can often see it where lines enter the water heater or under sinks. A plumber can confirm it.
Will a water stain on the ceiling go away?
No. A stain means water got through, and the source needs fixing. After drying, the area needs stain-blocking primer and paint, or replacement if the drywall weakened.
Is a sagging ceiling dangerous?
Yes. Wet drywall can drop without warning. Keep people out from under it and relieve the water with a small hole into a bucket if it's safe.
