🚨 Week in Review | Emergency Water Damage Response in Houston 🚨
At 5:00 AM on Sunday, we received an emergency call from a homeowner whose entire first floor was covered in standing water.
A water heater had burst in the second-floor attic overnight, allowing water to flow for hours before it was discovered. By the time we arrived, water had affected multiple rooms throughout the home.
Our team was on-site within 90 minutes, where we immediately:
💧 Extracted standing water
🌪️ Set professional drying and stabilization equipment
📊 Documented moisture levels throughout the property
On Monday, our crew returned early and worked late into the evening performing the necessary mitigation to help prevent mold growth and further damage.
The scope included:
Removal of water-damaged flooring throughout the first floor
Removal of deteriorated drywall
Removal of saturated insulation between floors and in exterior walls
Installation of additional commercial drying equipment to bring the structure back to dry standards
When water damage happens, time is critical. The faster mitigation begins, the better the chances of minimizing damage, preventing mold, and protecting your home.
