El Paso County
Water damage & mold help in El Paso, TX
El Paso sits in the Chihuahuan Desert on the Rio Grande, at the far western tip of Texas. It's dry most of the year, but summer monsoon storms dump heavy rain on the Franklin Mountains, sending water rushing through arroyos and city streets. In August 2006, days of storms flooded hundreds of homes across the city, and hard freezes, like February 2011, burst pipes in homes built for mild winters.

El Paso homes and water damage
Older neighborhoods like Sunset Heights and Kern Place have early-1900s brick and stucco homes, many with flat roofs and aging plumbing. Newer subdivisions on the Eastside and Northeast are mostly slab-on-grade stucco homes.
Monsoon flash flooding
Summer storms send runoff from the Franklin Mountains through arroyos and streets, flooding low-lying homes and yards in minutes.
Flat-roof leaks
Flat roofs and parapets pond water during heavy storms, and aging membranes leak into ceilings.
Hard freezes
Rare but severe cold snaps, like February 2011, burst pipes in attics and exterior walls not built for freezing weather.
Slab leaks and hard water
Mineral-heavy water and shifting desert soils wear on copper lines under slab foundations.
Evaporative cooler leaks
Many homes use rooftop evaporative coolers, and leaking pans or water lines are a common source of ceiling stains.
