Houston’s heat and humidity let mold grow fast after any leak, often behind walls where you can’t see it. We find 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 clock starts the moment water hits the floor. Drywall, wood, and carpet pad begin soaking it up within hours. If they dry within a day or two, mold usually doesn’t get a start.
Houston averages about 52 inches of rain a year. But during Hurricane Harvey in 2017, parts of Harris County got as much as 47.4 inches in four days. Harvey flooded 154,170 single-family homes in the county alone.
A floor can look dry and still be soaked below. Water runs under vinyl, tile, and laminate and settles into the subfloor. We test under the surface before we sign off on any room.
Homeowners, landlords, and business owners across Harris, Fort Bend, Montgomery, Galveston, Brazoria, and Waller counties call us all year.

Common Causes of Water Damage in Houston
-
Flash floods
During the 2016 Tax Day flood, 12 to 16 inches of rain fell on the Houston area in just 12 hours. The flooding damaged more than 10,000 homes.
-
Hard freezes
In February 2021, Bush Intercontinental Airport dropped to 13°F, and Houston stayed below freezing for 44 hours straight. Pipes burst across the city, and water pressure fell system-wide.
-
AC drain lines
Bush Intercontinental hit 109°F twice in August 2023. In that kind of heat and humidity, AC units run almost nonstop, and a clogged drain line can spill water into the attic and through the ceiling.
-
Appliance leaks
Washer hoses, dishwasher lines, and ice-maker lines can fail without warning. A slow drip behind a machine can continue for days before anyone sees it.
More Houston homes were built in the 1970s than in any other decade, and plumbing that age tends to leak first. In newer homes, a small leak can hide behind fresh drywall.
How we help
How We Handle Water Damage
We begin by stopping the leak and extracting standing water. Next come the air movers and dehumidifiers. We log moisture readings every day until they confirm everything is dry.
Hardwood floors need time. We pull out the water quickly, then dry the boards at a slow, steady pace so they don’t crack. Boards that have cupped badly usually need to be replaced.
If water seeped inside a wall, we open a small section so air can circulate around the framing. Repairs wait until everything tests dry. The same crew handles drying and rebuilding, so you won’t have to start over with someone new.
Water damage rarely comes alone

Our process
Our Houston Water Damage Restoration Process

You call, we send a crew
Call us anytime, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Tell us what happened and where the water is. If water is still running, we’ll help you get it shut off.

We arrive and inspect
We find the source of the water and how far it spread. Moisture meters pick up water hiding in walls and under floors. We photograph everything for your insurance, and the inspection is free.
- 3
We cut out ruined drywall
Drywall that swelled or sat in water has to come out. We remove it now and replace it during repairs. Pieces that stayed firm can dry where they are.
- 4
We compare it with a dry room
We test moisture in the wet rooms. Then we test a dry room in the same house as a baseline. When the numbers match, the wet rooms are dry.
- 5
We wipe down hard surfaces
We wash cabinets, counters, and other hard surfaces with mild soap and let them dry. Stubborn spots get scrubbed clean.
- 6
We work with your insurance
We send your insurance company our photos, moisture readings, and estimate. We stay in touch with your adjuster until the claim is settled, so you’re not doing it all yourself.

Common questions
Water Damage Restoration in Houston: FAQs
How fast can 24 Hour Flood Pros get to me?
A crew can be at your home within 45 minutes. We work 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Call as soon as you notice the damage.
What should I do first if a pipe bursts in my Houston home?
Turn off the main shutoff valve, then open a faucet to drain the line. Move rugs and furniture out of the wet area. After a freeze, check your pipes again as they thaw. A broken pipe often leaks inside the wall, so call us and we’ll trace 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. After Harvey, about 64 percent of the flooded homes in Harris County had no flood insurance, so check your policy or ask your agent.
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 the first visit, we gather the photos and moisture readings adjusters expect and send them to your carrier. For damage your policy covers, we bill your insurance directly.
How much does water damage restoration cost in Houston?
The inspection and estimate are free, so you’ll know the cost before work starts. Your estimate shows each wet room, what can dry in place, and what has to be removed and rebuilt. A small leak caught early costs far less than water that has spread through several rooms.
