Common home problems in Texas
Hail and wind
North Texas sits in one of the most hail prone areas of the country, so roof, siding and gutter damage is common.
Flash flooding
Heavy rain can flood streets and homes fast, especially around Houston and the Hill Country.
Hurricanes
Gulf Coast storms bring wind damage, storm surge and long power outages.
Slab leaks and foundations
Expansive clay soil swells and shrinks, cracking slabs and the pipes under them.
Heat and AC
Air conditioners run most of the year and work hardest in July and August.
Licenses and permits in Texas
Texas does not license general contractors or roofers statewide. Plumbers are licensed by the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners, and electricians and air conditioning contractors by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR). Permits are handled by each city.
Permits for repairs are issued by your city or county, not by Sifixit. Always ask for the license or registration number and proof of insurance before work starts, and get the scope and price in writing.
Home insurance notes for Texas
Many Texas policies have a separate, higher deductible for wind and hail, often a percentage of the home value. Near the coast, wind coverage may come through the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association. Standard homeowners policies do not cover flooding from outside water; that needs separate flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program or a private insurer.
Take photos before any cleanup, keep receipts, and call your insurer early. Our water damage insurance claims guide explains the steps.
