Water damage moves fast. Within hours, water penetrates drywall, subfloor, and wall framing. Within 24–48 hours, mold begins to colonize. Within 72 hours, structural deterioration accelerates and insurance claims become harder to substantiate. Our IICRC-certified technicians arrive in 45 minutes to begin extraction immediately — giving your property the best possible outcome and your insurance claim the documentation it needs.

What's Included With Every Job
Our Step-by-Step Process
Emergency Dispatch — 45 Minutes
We answer 24/7. A crew with truck-mounted extraction equipment is dispatched immediately. Our goal is on-site within 45 minutes anywhere in Greater Houston.
Inspection & Moisture Mapping
We use thermal imaging cameras and calibrated moisture meters to trace the full extent of water intrusion — including hidden moisture inside walls, under floors, and in ceiling cavities.
Water Extraction
Truck-mounted extractors remove standing water at up to 150 gallons per minute. Submersible pumps handle deep flooding while industrial wet-vacs reach tight spaces.
Structural Drying Setup
Industrial air movers and LGR dehumidifiers are positioned using psychrometric science to maximize evaporation. Equipment placement is adjusted daily based on moisture readings.
Cleaning, Sanitizing & Odor Control
We apply EPA-registered antimicrobials to all affected surfaces and use HEPA air scrubbers to remove airborne particulates, bacteria, and odors.
Rebuild & Full Restoration
Once drying is complete and verified with a final moisture check, we coordinate full restoration — drywall, flooring, paint, and finish work — so you return to a property in pre-loss condition.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does water damage restoration take?
The drying phase typically takes 3–5 days for residential properties. Full restoration and rebuilding can take 1–3 weeks depending on the extent of damage. We provide a daily progress report so you're never in the dark.
Will my insurance cover water damage restoration?
Sudden and accidental water damage — burst pipes, appliance failures, roof leaks — is typically covered under standard homeowner's insurance. We work directly with all major insurers and produce IICRC-compliant documentation for your claim.
Can I stay in my home during restoration?
It depends on the extent of damage. We'll give you an honest assessment after the initial inspection. For partial losses, most families stay home with minimal disruption. For major losses, we can recommend temporary housing resources.
What's the difference between mitigation and restoration?
Mitigation stops the damage from getting worse — extraction, drying, and stabilization. Restoration brings your property back to its pre-loss condition — new drywall, flooring, paint, and finishes. We handle both under one roof.
How do I know when the drying is done?
We use moisture meters and verify against IICRC drying goals before removing any equipment. You'll receive a final moisture report as part of your documentation package.
