Do This Right Now
Before we arrive, these steps limit the damage. Do them in order.
Shut off the main water valve
In most Garland homes it is in the garage on the wall closest to the street. Turn clockwise until it stops. This cuts water to the entire house and halts active flooding immediately. If you cannot find it, the meter shutoff at the street works the same way.
Turn off the water heater
Gas water heater: turn the dial to pilot. Electric: flip the circuit breaker. A water heater running dry after the supply is cut can fail within minutes and create a second problem.
Document before cleanup
Take photos and video of all water damage before any cleanup begins. Your homeowner's insurance company requires documentation of the damage before authorizing a claim. Do not clean up first.

Call (469) 327-0831North Texas Freeze Events
Garland has a high freeze risk profile compared to other North Texas cities. Garland's 1950s and 1960s housing stock has some of the most vulnerable plumbing infrastructure in the network. Homes from this era may have galvanized steel supply lines alongside copper, and many have never had pipe insulation added to exposed areas.
The critical timing that most Garland homeowners do not know: pipes typically burst not during the freeze but as temperatures rise and ice thaws. The ice expands and cracks the pipe wall during the freeze, but the leak does not start until the ice melts and water pressure is restored — sometimes 12 to 24 hours after temperatures climb above freezing.
If your Garland home survived an extended hard freeze, check your water meter two to four hours after temperatures rise above 32 degrees before assuming the pipes are intact. A moving meter with everything off means a pipe cracked during the freeze is now leaking.
Freeze Prep Checklist for Garland Homes
• Locate your main water shutoff before temperatures drop
• Insulate exposed pipes in attic spaces and exterior walls
• Disconnect and drain garden hoses before first freeze
• Shut off and blow out irrigation systems
• Cover outdoor hose bibs with insulated covers
• Open cabinet doors under sinks on exterior walls during hard freezes
• Keep the heat set no lower than 55 degrees inside during freezes
