All of our guides
Six guides, each one built to answer a single question well.
How are these guides written?
Official sources first: state agencies, the Texas statutes, the National Weather Service and the City of Mesquite. Local events carry their dates, price figures are labeled as market ranges, and nothing goes up that we can’t back up. The full approach is on our about page.
Resource questions, answered
Are these guides legal or insurance advice?
No. They’re general information to help you ask better questions. Your policy wording and your own situation decide the details, so ask your insurance agent or an attorney.
How often are the guides updated?
Each one shows when it was last reviewed, and we re-check them after every freeze and storm season.
Where do the prices come from?
Published 2026 cost guides, labeled as market ranges. They’re not LeakRush quotes. You get a written estimate before any work starts.
Something looks wrong. Who do I tell?
Call or text (972) 555-0147 and tell us which page. We’ll check it against the source and fix it.
Which guide should I read if water is in my house right now?
Start with the first 15 minutes guide, then call. It covers shutting off the water, electrical safety, photos and the Mesquite phone numbers worth saving.
How do I prepare for a freeze?
Insulate exposed pipes in the attic, garage and exterior walls, know where your main shutoff is, and let exterior-wall faucets drip when the National Weather Service issues a freeze warning. The full checklist is in burst and frozen pipe water extraction.
Is there a guide for renters?
The first 15 minutes guide and the Texas insurance guide both cover what renters should do and what renters insurance typically covers. In short, tell your landlord in writing right away and photograph your belongings.
