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.

Hardwood floor water damage in a Kyle house tends to start at an appliance and end at a threshold. These plans run wood through the entry, kitchen, and family room and carpet the bedrooms, so the wood sits exactly where the refrigerator, the dishwasher, and the sink are, and the run ends at a transition strip that behaves like a small dam. Water travels under the boards to that strip, sits against the last two rows, and works on them while the rest of the floor still looks perfect.

What the boards do next is a timeline. Edges swell and rise before the middle does, so a floor that catches the light unevenly at the seams has been wet for a day or two, not an hour. Once boards press hard enough on each other to lift off what they are sitting on, the window for drying in place has usually closed. None of that reads from the doorway, which is why a wood floor gets checked with a meter and a pulled length of shoe molding rather than by eye.

Deciding before the equipment goes down

The first visit is a set of measurements and one honest answer. We take readings across the run and at the transition, pull a section of shoe molding or a floor vent to see the underside and what the boards sit on, and read the slab itself, because a floor will not dry over concrete that is still holding water. If the numbers say the floor is recoverable, panels go down over the wet field and the vacuum draws water back out through the face of the boards, with a dehumidifier taking whatever comes off. That runs slower than anybody wants. Force the pace and you trade a cupped floor for a checked one. If the numbers say it is gone, you hear that on day one instead of after five days of equipment.

Speed decides most of this one. A floor found the same day is usually a drying job; the same floor found after the weekend is usually a replacement, and that gap is worth a phone call while you are still deciding whether it is serious. Reach us at (512) 271-5099.

Frequently asked questions

The boards still look flat four days later. Is there anything to worry about?

Possibly quite a lot. Wood hides water well, and a finished surface is built to keep moisture from moving through it, so a floor can hold a high reading for weeks while looking normal. What shows up later is a seam standing proud, a hollow note at the transition, or a smell out of the subfloor. A meter answers it in about ten minutes, which is cheaper than finding out in March.

Why are you pulling the shoe molding off?

Because it is the cheapest window into the floor. Taking a length of shoe off lets us read the wall base, see the edge of the flooring and what it sits on, and get air into the perimeter if we end up drying. It goes back on at the end with paint. The alternative is guessing at the underside of a floor from the top of it, which is how floors get dried for a week and fail anyway.

Can we walk on it while the mats are running?

Around them, yes. Each panel is taped tight to the boards with a hose back to the vacuum, so you can still use the room, provided nobody stands on a panel or on a board that has begun to lift. Keep pets away from the equipment, keep the room closed up so the dehumidifier is not fighting the whole house, and leave the machines running overnight. They do most of their work in the hours nobody is watching.

If the floor cannot be saved, do you put the new one in?

Yes. We take the old floor out, dry the slab to a reading a flooring installer will accept, and handle the replacement as part of the same job so there is no gap between the drying crew leaving and somebody else starting. If you would rather use your own flooring contractor, we hand them a dry slab and the moisture documentation they need for their warranty.
