Why Allen homes need these repairs

Allen is a mostly owner-occupied Collin County suburb built largely since the 1980s. It buys treated water from the North Texas Municipal Water District, mainly from Lake Lavon, and expansive clay soil, occasional hard freezes and long summer heat drive most of the slab leak, frozen pipe and water heater calls.
