When water damage strikes in Texas—whether from flash floods, burst pipes, or roof leaks—every second matters. The longer water sits, the more it seeps into walls, flooring, and insulation, causing costly repairs and health hazards like mold growth. At American Restoration Technologies, we know how important it is to act fast, and we’re here to help you understand the steps you can take to minimize damage.
1. Identify the Source of the Water
Before cleanup begins, stop the water at its source. Shut off your main water supply for plumbing leaks, or call for emergency assistance if it’s storm-related flooding. Quick identification prevents further damage and makes restoration easier.
2. Ensure Safety First
Standing water can hide hazards like electrical currents, contaminated sewage, or structural instability. Avoid entering flooded areas until professionals assess the situation.
3. Begin Water Removal Immediately
The faster the water is extracted, the less chance it has to cause long-term issues. Our 24/7 water removal services use powerful pumps, vacuums, and drying equipment to protect your home from extensive damage.
4. Dry and Dehumidify Thoroughly
Even after visible water is gone, moisture lingers. We use industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers to ensure your home is completely dry—helping prevent mold growth within the first 24–48 hours.
5. Inspect for Hidden Damage
Water can damage insulation, subfloors, and wall cavities. Professional inspections ensure no moisture pockets are left behind, which could cause structural issues or hidden mold colonies.
6. Prevent Future Water Damage
Schedule regular roof inspections, maintain gutters, and protect plumbing during temperature changes. Preventative measures can save thousands in future repairs.
