What we handle
Most calls we take in Keller come from one of these six situations. All of them are covered by the same 24/7 crew.
Burst & frozen pipes
North Texas freeze events split supply lines in attics and exterior walls. We extract, open only what must be opened, and dry the cavity.
Water heater & appliance failures
Tank ruptures, supply-hose blowouts, dishwasher and fridge-line leaks, often discovered hours after they start.
Slab & under-floor leaks
Thermal imaging and moisture mapping locate the wet footprint before anyone breaks concrete.
Sewage backups (Category 3)
Containment, PPE, removal of porous materials and full antimicrobial treatment: health hazard, not a mop job.
Roof & storm intrusion
Emergency tarping plus interior drying, so the ceiling doesn't come down two weeks later.
Commercial & multifamily losses
Multi-unit extraction phased around residents and tenants, with one point of contact for the property.

Six phases. You get a written scope after phase two and daily readings from phase four on.

- Sparks or a wet breaker panelStay out of the water.
- A sagging or bulging ceilingIt can come down without warning.
- Smoke, fire or structural crackingGet everyone outside first.
Heat-assisted drying
A fan moves air, but it doesn't pull water out. We add controlled heat with dehumidifiers so water moves out of drywall, wood and subfloor faster. Your home dries sooner, and more of it can be dried in place instead of torn out.
- ✓Less demolition and a shorter rebuild
- ✓Daily moisture readings until everything is dry
- ✓Done by IICRC-certified drying technicians

DIY drying vs. professional restoration
Fans move air; they don't remove water vapor. Here's the practical difference on a typical Category 1 kitchen loss.
Water damage FAQs
How much does water damage restoration cost?+
Most residential losses in DFW run roughly $1,500–$8,000 for mitigation and drying, driven by affected square footage, water category, and how much material has to come out. Reconstruction is scoped separately. On a covered claim you typically pay only your deductible, and the assessment is always free.
Do I need to call my insurance company first?+
No. Call us first so we can stop the damage right away, because waiting can make it worse. We can help with your claim: we document everything your adjuster needs and bill your insurance company directly. Let your insurer know about the damage the same day.
How long does it take to dry a house?+
Typically 3–5 days of continuous drying with daily meter readings. Dense materials (hardwood, plaster, concrete) take longer. Drying is finished when materials reach the documented dry standard, not when the surface feels dry.
Can you dry it without cutting out my drywall?+
Often, yes: for clean-water losses caught early we use cavity drying systems to dry wall assemblies in place. Category 2 and 3 water, or drywall wet longer than about 48 hours, usually requires controlled removal. We tell you which before we cut anything.
Will my rates go up if I file a claim?+
That's between you and your carrier, and it depends on your claim history. What we can tell you is the cost of the loss if it isn't mitigated: unaddressed water becomes a mold claim, and mold claims are far more likely to be limited or excluded. We'll document the loss either way, and you decide whether to file.
Water still running?
Don't wait for a form. A dispatcher answers 24/7 and a crew is on the way while we're still on the call.
