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.

Water removal in a slab house is a chase, not a pump-out. There is no low point to work from and no sump to drop a hose into, so standing water spreads flat and thin until something absorbs it, and the extraction follows the edge of the wet instead of the middle of the puddle. In a Kyle floor plan that edge is routinely two rooms away from where the failure happened.

The first-generation water heaters in this city are what put the volume down. A tank installed when the subdivision was framed reaches the end of its life on roughly the same schedule as its neighbors, and when the bottom goes it releases everything it holds in a few minutes. The house absorbs that quietly. Carpet and pad take a lot of it, plank seams and tile grout take the rest, and by the time anyone gets home the surface looks like it dried itself.

How the extraction actually runs

We clear the standing water first, then work the materials, because water sitting in pad and under flooring is what decides how much gets replaced. A truck-mounted vacuum handles volume; a portable goes where a hose will not reach, including closets and any upstairs room. On carpet we make slow weighted passes and repeat them once the pad has had time to give up more, and where the pad is worth keeping we detach the carpet at the tack strip and float it over air so both faces dry. Meters and a thermal camera then show what is still trapped under hard flooring and inside the wall base, and that gets drawn out or opened before a single air mover is set.

Pulling the water is the short part of this job and the part that decides the rest of it. Every gallon out today is a gallon the dehumidifiers do not have to take back out of the air over the next four days, which shortens the drying and shrinks the replacement list. Call (512) 271-5099 and tell us what let go and roughly how long it ran; those two facts tell us what to load.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

The tile looks dry now. Is there anything left to pull out?

Almost always. Tile on a slab hides water at the grout lines and under the wall base, and a plank floor hides it in the seams and around the perimeter. We read the wall base with a pin meter and the floor with a camera. If water is trapped under a hard surface it either comes out through the wall base or the floor comes up. A dry-looking surface over a wet slab is the most common reason somebody calls us back a month later about a smell.

Do you have to pull the carpet up to get at the pad?

Not necessarily. Weighted extraction presses water up through the carpet out of the pad, and on clean water caught early that is often enough. Where the pad holds more than it will give up, we detach the carpet at the tack strip, float it over air movers so both faces dry, then re-stretch it. Pad that sat in dirty water, or sat too long, comes out, and you will know which one you have before we start.

Will the kitchen cabinets have to come out?

Rarely the whole cabinet. There is a void behind the toe kick that fills with water and will not dry through a finished box, so we take the kick off, extract that void, and put air into it. That saves the run of cabinets in most kitchens. What forces a cabinet out is a particleboard base that has already swelled, or a wall behind it that has to be opened anyway.

Can water be pulled back out of a wall, or does the drywall come out?

Both are on the table and the meter decides. A wet cavity can often be dried in place by drilling a low line of holes behind the baseboard and pushing dry air into it, which leaves the wall and the paint intact. When the insulation is saturated or the water was not clean, drying in place will not get there and the bottom of the sheet comes out instead. We would rather make small holes than write a scope full of new drywall.
