How it works

Our restoration process

Four steps, starting the moment you call.

1

Call & Dispatch

Tell us what happened. A local crew is dispatched on the call, and how fast we reach you depends on traffic and where you are.

2

Extract & Stabilize

We stop the source, pump out standing water, and set drying equipment.

3

Dry & Monitor

Air movers and dehumidifiers run while we track moisture daily to dry standard.

4

Repair & Reinstall

Drywall, texture, trim, and paint go back so the room reads finished.

Insurance-savvy from the first call

Documented to claim standard from the first hour

We document the loss to claim standard from the moment we arrive — photos, moisture readings by room, and a scope that maps to your policy. Then we bill your insurer directly for the covered work.

Mold removal in a large Bee Cave house starts at the thermostat. A return sitting in or near the work area pulls whatever is in that air into the trunk line and delivers it to every room on the zone, which is how a leak in a downstairs powder bath ends up smelling like a problem in an upstairs bedroom. The S520 standard treats the air handler as part of the containment for exactly that reason, and so do we. The system goes off, the returns and registers inside the barrier get sealed, and only then does anything get opened.

The leaks themselves are usually small and old. A shower pan or a tile wet wall in a secondary bath that gets used twice a year, an angle stop weeping behind a vanity, a supply fitting behind a run of cabinetry. In the newer builds around The Uplands and Rocky Creek, two or three zoned systems mean the smell can surface a long way from the water, so we chase the moisture instead of the odor.

Containment, and the parts of it nobody sees

The plastic barrier is the visible half. The rest is pressure and air path: negative pressure inside the containment so air moves in and never back out, HEPA scrubbers running continuously, filtration on the exhaust, and a taped route for material to leave the house without touching a finished surface. Porous material comes out bagged, sound framing gets HEPA-vacuumed and treated, and the wet cavity behind it dries to a meter reading rather than to the touch. Skip that last step and the mold remediation buys you one season.

When growth follows a water loss your policy covers, the removal usually rides on the same claim, and Austin Flood & Leak Restoration writes it that way: photos before the barrier goes up, readings by room, and a scope your adjuster can price. Coverage is the carrier's decision. So is the smaller judgment we owe you honestly, which is when a patch is small enough that you do not need us at all. Call (512) 271-5099.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Can we keep the air conditioning running while you work?

Not on the affected zone. That system is the fastest way to move spores into rooms that were clean, so it goes off and the returns and registers inside the containment get sealed for the duration. Other zones usually keep running, and in a Central Texas summer we plan the work around that rather than shutting a whole house down.

The smell is upstairs. Why are you working in a downstairs bathroom?

Because that is where the water is. Odor travels the air path, not the shortest line, so on a zoned system it commonly surfaces in a room nowhere near the source. We follow the meter to the wet material and confirm growth there before anything comes out of a wall.

Do we need an air test before you start?

Often not. With visible growth and a known leak, a test tells you what you already know and delays the removal. We sample through an independent lab when the result would actually change the plan, and post-remediation verification comes from an assessor who does not work for us. If a test buys you nothing, we will say so.

Can we stay in the house while the work runs?

Most families do. The containment keeps the work sealed and under negative pressure, and we set it up so bedrooms and the kitchen stay usable. If somebody here has asthma or is immune-compromised, that question belongs with their doctor. It is a medical call and a restoration crew has no business making it.
