Hurst homes were built fast, and the plumbing has the years to show for it
Hurst grew from 10,165 residents in 1960 to 27,215 in 1970, according to census figures, and many of its houses date from that period of fast growth. Some are now more than 50 years old, with original supply lines, water heaters and drain connections that have had decades to wear. That is the first thing a crew thinks about when a Hurst homeowner calls with a leak.
If the damage began at one fixture, ask the crew to check neighboring walls and the base of cabinets, because aging plumbing tends to fail in more than one place. Our crews run water mitigation on these homes, and they pair it with water damage repair once the structure is dry.

What to do when water is spreading in Hurst
Call right away if water is flowing, if more than one room is wet or if a ceiling is sagging. Shut off the water at the main valve while you wait, and keep people and pets out of any room where water touches outlets. For a fast sense of the work, read about emergency water removal.
Stop the source
Close the main shutoff, usually where the water line enters the house, or the valve under the fixture that failed.
Power and safety
Stay out of rooms where water touches outlets or the panel, and call the utility or 911 for any electrical or gas concern.
Protect what you can
Lift rugs, shoes, electronics and boxes off wet floors and set furniture legs on foil or blocks.
Then call the line
Describe the source and the depth of water, then follow the dispatcher while a crew is arranged.

What Hurst tells homeowners about its water and drainage
The City of Hurst reports about 205 miles of water lines and 1,236 fire hydrants. Its water comes from two supply connections with the City of Fort Worth, six city-owned wells and three emergency connections. The 2025 water quality report lists total hardness of 108 to 150 parts per million, which is 6 to 9 grains per gallon.
For an immediate water, wastewater or street problem, Hurst lists a 24/7 Public Works Dispatch line at 817-788-7212, which is the right call if a main or a street drain is the source. Hurst also created a Storm Drainage Utility in 2009 to maintain its drainage system and reduce flooding hazards, so drainage questions go to the city, not to us.

Many were built when the city grew quickly in the 1960s, so supply lines and water heaters in some houses are decades old. Ask a plumber to inspect aging fixtures after any leak.
The city 2025 report shows total hardness of 6 to 9 grains per gallon. Hard water leaves scale on fixtures and appliances, which is a reason to inspect valves and hoses.
