Homeowner's Nightmare: Creek Erosion Threatens DeSoto House

A homeowner in DeSoto, Texas is living on the edge with her house threatened by years

of Creek erosion along Heath Creek.

Her kitchen now rests on just one pillar.

Gas lines have busted open, and she's terrified the next big rain could send it all crashing

down.

She and her husband bought the place back in 2012, hooked by that pretty creek right

next door.

But heavy floods washed away their patio deck and stairs in 2015, and things got worse

from there.

Gas leaks started last March, so they cut it off completely.

Embusted pipes mean her husband has to crank the water meter outside every time they need

a sink or shower.

It's hitting the family hard.

They barely use the kitchen out of fear, calling it embarrassing and straight up scary.

She cries before every storm hits, praying it won't be the one that takes them out,

turning what was supposed to be there forever home into a daily nightmare.

Please beg the city and her insurance for help, just wanting the soil filled back in,

but no fixes yet.

City officials said on April 2nd, they're pulling together answers, promising an update

by April 6th.

For now, every weather report keeps her on pins and needles, wondering if her leaf is finally

coming.
