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 Lakeway house built down a hillside is a gravity problem before it is an equipment problem. Whatever spills upstairs leaves that floor within minutes, runs the stair stringers and the wall cavities beside them, and stacks up on the lowest finished level. The room you find standing water in is often two floors from the failure, and the rooms in between are wet without showing it.

Straight answer on one thing, given where you live. Water that rises off Lake Travis and comes at a house across open ground is a flood loss. Flood has its own policy and its own adjusters, and it is not work we are set up to chase. Water removal here means what came out of your own plumbing, an appliance, or a water heater, plus rain a storm drove in under a door or over the edge of a slab.

Getting the machine to the water

A truck-mounted extractor pulls through hose, and hose runs out. On the long climbing drives in Rough Hollow and on the streets that turn uphill off the main road, the truck can sit a full story below the wet room with more driveway between them than the reel holds. So crews carry portable units in and stage them beside the work, run the truck unit wherever the geometry allows it, and neither one waits on the other. On stone and wood we work the joints, the transitions, and the wall bases, because those are the only places a wand can physically reach the water.

Pulling the standing water is the short part of the day. What follows is drying the framing and flooring the water already went into, and the same crew does both, so nothing gets handed off half finished. Call (512) 271-5099 and tell us which level of the house it ended up on.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Our driveway is long and steep. Can your truck even reach the house?

Usually close enough, and where it cannot, we do not lose a day to it. Portable extractors come in on foot and go right next to the water, which often beats dragging two hundred feet of hose uphill anyway. Tell us on the phone how the drive runs and whether there is a gate, and the crew loads for it.

The water ran down the stairs. Do the treads have to come out?

Rarely the treads. The water goes down the stringers and into the wall beside them, so that is where we meter first. Where a reading calls for access, a riser or a section of skirt board comes off, which is a far smaller repair than a staircase, and the cavity dries through the opening.

Do we have to move all the furniture out?

Not all of it. Heavy pieces get blocked or foiled up off the floor so what is under them can dry, and only what is sitting in water or blocking the extraction path actually leaves the room. Anything we move gets photographed where it stood first.

How long does the extraction itself take?

Hours rather than days for the standing water in most houses this size, and longer when it has crossed several levels. The drying that follows is the part measured in days, because it runs on readings rather than on a schedule.
