Austin’s warm, humid air helps mold grow fast after a leak, often in spots you can’t see. We locate the water source first. Then we seal off the area, remove the mold, and dry the space.

Why Water Damage Gets Worse the Longer It Sits
The first hours count the most. Drywall, wood, and carpet pad absorb water quickly. If they dry within a day or two, mold usually doesn’t have time to grow.
Austin averages about 36 inches of rain a year, but it often arrives all at once. On Halloween 2013, Onion Creek rose 11 feet in 15 minutes and crested at a record 41 feet. More than 600 homes flooded.
A floor can look fine on top and still be soaked underneath. Water slides under vinyl, tile, and laminate and settles into the subfloor. We measure below the surface before we call any room dry.
Homeowners, landlords, and business owners across Travis, Williamson, and Hays counties call us all year.

Common Causes of Water Damage in Austin
-
Flash floods
On Memorial Day 2015, Camp Mabry recorded 5.20 inches of rain in 24 hours, a daily record. That May brought 17.59 inches in all, the wettest May on record there.
-
Extreme heat
In 2023, Austin hit 100°F or higher for 45 days in a row. AC units in attics run nonstop in that heat, and a clogged drain line can overflow into the ceiling below.
-
Hard freezes
During the February 2021 winter storm, Austin lost 325 million gallons of water to burst pipes. About 1,500 customers had to call the city for emergency water shutoffs.
-
Appliance leaks
Washer hoses, dishwasher lines, and ice-maker lines can give out without warning. A small drip behind a machine can run for days before anyone notices.
More Austin homes were built in the 2010s than in any other decade, and in newer homes a small leak can hide behind fresh drywall. In older central neighborhoods, aging pipes tend to leak first.
How we help
How We Handle Water Damage
The first step is stopping the leak and removing standing water. Then we bring in air movers and dehumidifiers. We record moisture levels every day until the readings confirm the space is dry.
Wood floors can’t be rushed. We remove the water fast, then dry the boards gradually so they don’t crack. Boards that have cupped badly usually need to be replaced.
If water reached the inside of a wall, we open a small section so air can get to the framing. We don’t start repairs until everything tests dry. The crew that dries your home also rebuilds it, so you’re not handed off to strangers.
Water damage rarely comes alone

Our process
Our Austin Water Damage Restoration Process
- 1
You call, we send a crew
Call anytime, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Let us know what happened and where the water is. If it’s still running, we’ll guide you through turning it off.
- 2
We arrive and inspect
We figure out where the water started and how far it went. Moisture meters show us water hiding in walls and under floors. We take photos for your insurance, and the inspection costs nothing.
- 3
We cut out ruined drywall
Drywall that swelled or sat in water can’t be dried and reused. We take it out now and put new drywall in later. Pieces that stayed solid can dry in place.
- 4
We compare it with a dry room
We check the wet rooms with a moisture meter. Then we check a dry room in the same house. When the readings line up, the wet rooms are dry.
- 5
We wipe down hard surfaces
We clean cabinets, counters, and other hard surfaces with mild soap and let them dry. Stubborn spots get a good scrub.
- 6
We work with your insurance
We send your insurer the photos, moisture readings, and estimate. We stay in contact with your adjuster until the claim is done, so you’re not doing it alone.
- 7
We make the repairs
When you’re ready, the same team hangs new drywall, installs cabinets, and paints.
- 8
Final check with you
We walk the finished work with you to make sure you’re satisfied. Then we send the final records to your insurance company to close the claim.

Common questions
Water Damage Restoration in Austin: FAQs
How fast can 24 Hour Flood Pros get to me?
A crew can arrive within 45 minutes. We work 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Call the moment you find the damage.
What should I do first if a pipe bursts in my Austin home?
Close the main shutoff valve, then open a faucet to drain the line. Move rugs and furniture out of the wet area. After a hard freeze, check your pipes again as they thaw. A broken pipe often leaks inside the wall, so call us and we’ll find where the water went.
What’s the difference between water damage and flood damage?
Water damage starts inside your home, like a burst pipe or a leaking water heater. Flood damage comes from water that rises outside and covers land that’s normally dry. That matters because most standard home policies don’t cover flooding. If you live near Onion Creek, Shoal Creek, or another Austin creek, ask your agent about flood coverage.
Do you work with my insurance company?
Yes. We work with all major carriers, including State Farm, Allstate, Liberty Mutual, Farmers, American Family, Travelers, and Nationwide. From day one, we take the photos and moisture readings adjusters want and send them to your carrier. For damage your policy covers, we bill your insurance directly.
How much does water damage restoration cost in Austin?
The inspection and estimate are free, so you’ll see the cost before any work begins. Your estimate lists each wet room, what can dry in place, and what has to be torn out and rebuilt. A small leak caught early costs far less than water that has spread through several rooms.
