Common Emergencies in Garland

Garland is situated in the upper Trinity River basin with Spring Creek and Rowlett Creek creating multiple flood-prone corridors through the city. The city has conducted significant flood buyout programs along these creeks but neighborhoods adjacent to the corridors remain at risk. Clay soils throughout North Texas cause chronic slab leak issues — Garland's 1960s–1980s housing stock is particularly vulnerable to foundation movement. The 2015 tornado caused widespread roof damage and subsequent water infiltration in northeast Garland.

  • Clay soil slab leaks in aging housing stock
  • Spring Creek and Rowlett Creek flooding
  • Winter ice storm pipe bursts
  • Hailstorm roof damage causing ceiling leaks
  • Foundation movement stress on plumbing penetrations
