Flower Mound is a town of about 604 feet in elevation, almost entirely in Denton County with a few areas reaching into Tarrant County. Grapevine Lake and Marshall Creek make up much of its southern edge, and the land falls within the Trinity River basin where Cross Timbers woodland meets blackland prairie. Building DFW Airport, about four miles to the south, set off rapid growth beginning in 1974.

Spring tornado systems, winter cold and Denton County disasters
Precipitation averages about 36.8 inches across roughly 79 wet days a year, with around 1.3 inches of snow. The temperature record runs from 3 below zero to 113 degrees, and January nights average near freezing. That combination means pipes, roofs and HVAC systems all face stress at different times of year.
FEMA major disaster declarations including Denton County since 2000 cover Hurricane Rita (2005), an Extreme Wildfire Threat (2006), two separate 2007 storm declarations involving tornadoes and flooding, severe storms with tornadoes and flooding in 2015, the 2021 Severe Winter Storms and spring 2024 storms with straight-line winds, tornadoes and flooding.
Frozen pipes, hail-damaged roofs and other leaks
During hard freezes such as the 2021 winter storms, pipes in attics, garages and outside walls can freeze and split. Hail and high winds that come with spring storms can crack shingles and skylights, leaving openings for the next rain. Appliance hoses, water heaters and AC condensate lines are steady sources of indoor leaks year-round.
For water damage restoration in Flower Mound, a contractor typically stops the water, extracts it, maps moisture in walls and floors and dries the building with monitored equipment. See our guides to burst pipe water damage and ceiling water damage repair.

Grass fires, house fires and smoke cleanup
The town's own landmark, The Mound, burned in an accidental New Year's Eve fire in late 2011, and Denton County was part of the 2006 Extreme Wildfire Threat declaration. Inside homes, kitchens, heating equipment during cold snaps and electrical issues remain the leading causes.
Restoration companies usually secure the home, remove burned material, test soot, clean surfaces and belongings, and deodorize the structure and ducts. Our soot removal and smoke damage cleanup pages cover these steps.
Flooding, wind and storm debris cleanup
Several of Denton County's declarations combined tornadoes, straight-line winds and flooding, so a single storm can leave both a damaged roof and wet floors. Outdoor floodwater is treated as contaminated; contractors generally remove soaked carpet, pad and lower drywall, then disinfect and dry the framing.
Roof tarping, board-up and tree removal often come first after wind damage. Our pages on storm water damage restoration and flood cleanup walk through the work.
Mold after leaks in North Texas homes
Mold needs moisture more than heat, and a slow leak behind a wall or above a ceiling can feed growth for weeks before it shows. Humid spring and summer weather speeds things up once materials are wet.
The EPA says a homeowner can usually clean mold covering under about 10 square feet once the source is fixed. Larger areas, hidden growth or mold after floodwater are usually better handled through professional mold remediation.
Safety first for Flower Mound residents
- Call 911 for fire, gas smells, injuries or downed power lines.
- Register for Denton County Everbridge alerts on the county emergency notifications page, and check with the town about its own alert system.
- Keep a NOAA weather radio programmed with the Denton County code listed by the county.
- Close the main water valve for a burst pipe and stay clear of wet outlets.
- Take dated pictures of every affected room and hang on to invoices for urgent fixes. Hail, wind, plumbing and flood claims may be handled differently, so review your policy with your agent.

Flower Mound restoration FAQs
How cold does it get in Flower Mound?
The record low is 3 below zero, and January lows average around 31 degrees. Hard freezes like the 2021 winter storms can burst pipes in attics, garages and exterior walls.
Which alert system covers Denton County?
Denton County uses Everbridge for mass notifications after switching from CodeRED, Nixle and Reverse 911. The county also recommends a NOAA weather radio and signing up with your town's own system.
Has Denton County had tornado-related disaster declarations?
Yes. FEMA declarations in 2007, 2015 and 2024 involved tornadoes along with severe storms and, in most cases, flooding. Roof and window damage from these storms often leads to interior water damage.
Do I need a professional for a small patch of mold?
Not always. The EPA says areas under about 10 square feet can often be cleaned by the homeowner if the leak is fixed. Larger or recurring growth is a sign to call a remediation contractor.
Who does the work if I call Fire & Water Energy?
An independent contractor does. We are a referral service and try to connect you with a company serving the area; that company quotes, schedules and performs the job.
