Why Mesquite homes need these repairs

Mesquite is an east Dallas suburb of mostly 1960s–80s brick ranch homes on slab foundations. It buys treated water from North Texas Municipal Water District, which draws from Lavon Lake, and expansive clay, hard freezes and summer heat drive slab leaks and frozen pipe calls.
