How a job runs
One call starts the clock
Call and say what's leaking.
Give the address and what you're seeing. Water on the floor, a stain spreading on the ceiling, a smell you can't place. That's enough.
The crew traces it, stops it, pulls it out.
Find where the water came from, shut it off, extract the standing water, set the dryers. Every wet spot goes on the job log, including the ones behind cabinets and under flooring.
Dry to a number, not a guess.
The job closes when the meter reads dry for each material. You keep the photo set, the moisture log and a plain summary your adjuster can process.
Insurance
Your policy expects you to act fast
Most homeowner policies require you to stop further damage as soon as you find it. Getting a crew moving tonight is that step. It protects the claim and keeps the repair bill smaller.
Usually covered
Sudden and accidental water. A burst pipe, a failed water heater, a supply line, an overflow that got away from you.
Usually not
Slow leaks left alone, and rising water from outside, which takes a separate flood policy. The crew tells you which bucket you are in before you file.
- 1
Call here first.
Water removal does not wait for an adjuster. Stop the damage first, file second. That is how every policy is written.
- 2
Take a few photos before anything moves.
The crew adds the full set, the moisture log and the cause-of-loss notes the adjuster asks for.
- 3
Call the claims number on your policy card.
Or let the crew walk you through it on site. Either order works once the water is stopping.
- 4
Keep the receipts and anything the crew pulls out.
Until the adjuster says otherwise. Nothing gets thrown away that the claim might need.
You do not have to understand the policy tonight. Get the water out, keep the photos, and the paperwork is built as the job runs.
Before you call
FAQ
What should I do right now?
If it's safe, kill the breaker to the flooded room, shut off the water at the main, and move what you can off the floor. Don't run a shop vac on standing water near outlets. Then call.
How fast can someone get here?
Call first and give the address. The crew calls back with a real arrival window for that hour, not a guess. Standing water works deeper into slab and framing the longer it sits, so call first and figure the rest out after.
What does it cost?
Water extraction and drying usually runs through your homeowner's insurance when the cause is sudden (a burst pipe, an appliance failure). The crew documents the job for the adjuster. You get a free quote before any work starts.
Will insurance cover it?
Sudden water damage is usually covered. Slow leaks and flooding from outside often are not without a separate flood policy. The crew will tell you which bucket you're in before you file.
What about mold?
Mold removal over 25 square feet in Texas needs a TDLR-licensed remediator. Partner crews hold the licenses the job requires and tell you where that line is. Mold starts inside 48 hours in Houston humidity. Get the water out now and the mold question usually never comes up.
Why homes here take on water
Houston doesn't flood like the rest of the country
Slab on clay.
Most homes around here sit on a slab poured over gumbo clay that swells and shrinks with the weather. That movement works the copper and PEX under the slab, and a pinhole leak can push water up through the floor for weeks before a warm spot or a jump in the water bill gives it away.
Eight months of AC.
Air handlers in Houston attics run condensate lines most of the year. A clogged drain or a rusted pan sends that water through the ceiling below.
Flat ground, bayous, hurricanes.
From Harvey to Beryl, stalled rain has nowhere to go once the bayous crest. Check your street on the Harris County Flood Control District map or the FEMA Flood Map Service Center.
Humidity that never lets things dry.
Drywall, carpet pad and cabinet backs stay damp between wet events. A slow leak here turns into mold faster than it would in a dry climate, which is why the moisture source gets treated on the same visit.
