What the local data means for water damage in Carrollton

Carrollton mixes 16% of homes built since 2010 and 26% before 1980[2]: new supply lines and water heaters in one house, aging pipe and original valves in the next — so where a leak starts depends a lot on the address.

Shared walls and ceilings: Carrollton homes by building type
41%[2] of Carrollton's homes share walls, floors or ceilings with a neighbour (multi-unit buildings alone: 36%, the 4th-highest multi-unit share of the 15 Dallas–Fort Worth–area suburbs we cover). Water crosses those lines: in an attached or stacked unit, tell the neighbour and the association or landlord right away, and check whose policy covers which part of the damage.
After detached houses, the biggest group is 50 or more units: 5,327 of 54,365 housing units[2].
