What should I do first if my home floods?

Shut off the water source if it can be reached safely, then call a restoration company. The faster water is extracted, the less damage it does. Move valuables off wet floors and stay clear of standing water near outlets while waiting for a crew.

How fast can a restoration crew respond?

Emergency restoration crews respond 24 hours a day, including nights and weekends. After a call, the crew gets the location and type of damage, then dispatches the nearest team. Water damage worsens by the hour, so every call is treated as urgent.

Who should be called first, insurance or the restoration company?

Call the restoration company first. They can start protecting the home right away to stop damage from spreading, which the policy expects. Documenting from the start makes the insurance claim smoother, and the restoration company then works directly with the adjuster.

How much does restoration cost, and do homeowners have to pay upfront?

Most residential restoration is covered by homeowners insurance, so homeowners usually pay only their policy deductible. A written estimate is provided before any work begins, and the restoration company can bill the insurance carrier directly wherever the policy allows.

What Houston Says

Reviews From Our Neighbors

Water Damage · Verified Neighbor ★★★★★

A tropical storm dumped rain for days and water came up into the first floor. They were out as soon as it was safe, extracted everything, sanitized it, and got industrial drying going. They documented it all and worked the flood claim with us directly.

Fire & Smoke★★★★★

Kitchen fire pushed smoke through the whole house. The crew cleaned every room, treated the soft goods, and the smell was completely gone when we moved back in. Exactly the help we needed.

Mold Remediation★★★★★

After the flooding and with the humidity, mold showed up behind the walls fast. They contained the area, cleaned it out properly, and fixed the moisture source so it wouldn't return. Very thorough.

A hurricane tore part of the roof and rain flooded the upstairs. They had a tarp up as soon as the wind let up, extracted the water, and dried everything. Repairs were done faster than I expected.

Common Questions

Houston Restoration FAQ

What should I do first if my Houston home floods?

Shut off the water source if you can reach it safely, then call us. The faster water is extracted, the less damage it does. While you wait, move valuables off wet floors and stay clear of any standing water near outlets. We answer 24/7 and can walk you through it on the phone.

How fast can you get to my Houston home?

We respond to Houston emergencies 24 hours a day, including nights and weekends. When you call, we get your location and the type of damage, then dispatch the nearest crew. Water damage gets worse by the hour, so we treat every call as urgent.

Does homeowners insurance cover water damage in Texas?

Most standard Texas homeowners policies cover sudden and accidental water damage, like a burst pipe. Flooding from hurricanes and rising water needs separate flood insurance, and mold coverage is often capped. We help you document everything so your claim has the best shot.

Why is mold so common in Houston homes?

Houston's high humidity combined with flood and storm moisture creates the damp conditions mold needs to grow within a day or two. We find the moisture source, remove the growth, and dry the area so it does not return.

Who do I call first, my insurance or you?

Call us first. We can start protecting your home right away to stop the damage from spreading, which your policy expects you to do. We document everything from the start, which makes your insurance claim smoother. Then we work directly with your adjuster on the rest.

How much does restoration cost, and do I have to pay upfront?

Most restoration work is covered by your homeowners insurance, so you usually pay only your deductible. We give you a written estimate before any work begins, and we bill your carrier directly wherever your policy allows. If your damage is not covered by insurance, we can walk you through your options before you commit to anything.
