When water is spreading in Garland
- A supply line, water heater or washer hose is running. Close the main valve, then call.
- Rain or creek water is entering the house. Stay out of standing water that touches outlets and call the electric utility or 911 for any electrical risk.
- A drain is pushing sewage back. Stop using water in the house and keep children and pets out.
- A ceiling is sagging after a storm. Keep clear and place buckets away from the center of the sag.
- It is the middle of the night. Call anyway, since the line runs 24/7 and moisture keeps moving.
Garland's creeks and floodplain
The City of Garland reports about 2,400 acres of 100-year floodplain, mainly along Duck Creek, Rowlett Creek and Spring Creek. The city participates in the National Flood Insurance Program and states that standard property insurance policies do not cover flood damage from rising water.
That sets Garland apart from Sachse. A Garland homeowner living near one of those creek corridors may face flood exposure that a standard policy leaves out. Check the FEMA flood map for your address and ask your insurer about a separate flood policy before storm season, since waiting until water is rising is too late.
If water is still spreading in Garland: before we arrive
Do these five things while the crew is on the way, and stop if any of them feels unsafe.
Stop the source
Close the main valve or the fixture shutoff. In Garland the city buys water from the North Texas Municipal Water District and maintains the system up to your meter.
Cut power to wet rooms
Only if you can reach the panel on dry ground. Otherwise leave power alone and call the utility or 911.
Lift what you can
Raise furniture legs onto foil or blocks and move rugs, electronics and paper to dry rooms.
Photograph everything
Take wide and close photos before moving items, since your insurer will want them.
Call the 24/7 line
Give the street address, the source of the water and how deep it is.
Water and sewer in Garland
Garland runs its own Water Utilities department, which buys potable water from the North Texas Municipal Water District, and the city reported 72,578 water customers in fiscal year 2024. The city is also one of NTMWD's original member cities, along with Wylie.
For a main break in the street, call the city. For a leak inside the house or on your side of the meter, shut off the house valve and call us and a plumber. When the sewer backs up, find out whether the blockage is in the city main or your private line, since that decides who pays.
Storms Garland remembers
The National Weather Service rated the December 26, 2015 tornado that crossed Sunnyvale, Garland and Rowlett as an EF-4 with a 13 mile path that ended at Lake Ray Hubbard. Wind damage that opens a roof lets rain into ceilings and walls, so water damage often follows a storm like that one.
The February 2021 freeze brought a different loss pattern. The North Texas Municipal Water District asked customers across the region to cut non-essential water use from February 17 through February 25, 2021, and warned that thawing would cause more ruptured pipes. Pipes that split during the freeze often leaked only after the thaw. If a ceiling stain appears days after a cold snap, call.
