Burst pipes in Spring, in short
Spring gets about 14 nights a year at or below 32 degrees and roughly 1 at or below 20, by NOAA's count. A frozen pipe is rare, but when it happens the house is often unprepared. Lines here run through attics and outside walls built for heat, not cold.
Other failures are more likely here. Census figures show 31% of homes were built before 1980. Many of those houses sit on slabs with copper lines underneath that can leak where they rub against concrete. Water heaters in attics and garages rust through, and a failed tank in the attic soaks the ceiling below. Washing machine hoses and toilet supply lines burst with age. Owners hold most homes here, with 25% rented, so the repair decision is usually yours.
When a pipe bursts, close the main shutoff, often in a box near the curb or on an outside wall. Open the lowest faucet to drain the lines and turn off breakers for wet rooms. Burst pipe cleanup should be your next call. Keep in mind that 16.6% of Harris County homes carry federal flood insurance, and that policy covers rising outside water, not a burst pipe. A pipe break falls under your homeowners policy, so check it for sudden water damage. With 15 days a year of an inch of rain or more, water removal from carpet should start quickly before humidity spreads mold.

Keeping Spring pipes intact
Spring has 31% of homes built before 1980, by Census count, and many sit on slabs with water heaters in the attic or garage. Prevention here is about those older parts more than freezing, since NOAA's climate normals count about 14 nights a year at or below 32 degrees.
The water heater comes first. If it is in the attic, make sure it sits in a drain pan with a line that runs outside. Check for rust at the base. Replace the tank before it fails above a ceiling. Swap rubber washer hoses for braided steel and replace old plastic supply lines under sinks and toilets. A sudden jump in the water bill or a warm spot on the floor can mean a slab leak. Call a plumber when you see either.
For the rare freeze, wrap attic and garage pipes with foam sleeves, disconnect garden hoses, and cover outdoor spigots. On the coldest night or two, open sink cabinets on outside walls and let a faucet drip.
Locate the main shutoff and test that it turns. Spring also gets 15 days a year with an inch of rain or more. Keep downspouts clear and grading sloped away from the house, so rain is not mistaken for a plumbing leak. If a line does fail, call for water mitigation quickly. Neighbors seeking water removal in Tomball or Humble can use the same checklist.
Where the main water valve usually is
If you do not know where your main water valve is, look where the supply line enters: the street side of the basement or crawl space, the garage, the water heater closet, or a curb box outside. Test it once a season and mark it. In a Spring cold snap or when an old fitting gives way, closing the valve quickly keeps a small leak from becoming a flooded room. When a pipe breaks overhead, ceiling repair after a leak waits until the moisture readings say dry.
