Why Denton homes need these repairs

Denton is a North Texas university city with older houses near the square and campuses, a large renter population, and fast-growing subdivisions on the edges. The city treats water from Lake Lewisville and Lake Ray Roberts, and expansive clay soil, hard freezes and summer drought are behind most foundation-related leaks and frozen pipes.
