24/7 Emergency
Storm & Flood Damage Recovery in Lewisville, TX
The opening is closed, the water is extracted, materials floodwater touched come out, and the structure is dried and rebuilt in that order. The opening is closed first, with tarps or board-up, so the building stops taking on water. Floodwater is extracted, and the porous materials it touched come out rather than dry, since it crossed ground outside. The structure is dried and re-read, and the rebuild waits until the readings and the roof both allow it.
No obligation: the assessment comes before any scope
Often needed alongside
- Emergency Water Extraction
Standing water is pumped and extracted around the clock, before it climbs the walls and soaks the subfloor. Same-day response where coverage allows.
- Structural Drying & Dehumidification
Sealed air movers and dehumidifiers bring framing, subfloor and drywall back to a measured dry standard, with daily readings logged from inside the material.
- Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup
Sewage and black-water losses are contained, the materials the water touched are removed and disposed of, hard surfaces are disinfected, and the space is dried to a reading.
Frequently asked questions
What is the ledge at the bottom of the brick?
Part of the slab. The floor was poured with a turned-down edge and a shelf formed into it to carry the weight of the masonry, so there is a concrete step running round the building under the brick. Anything draining down the back of that wall arrives on it.
Where is it supposed to go from there?
Out through openings left in the bottom course. That is the whole design: water gets behind brick, runs down and leaves at the ledge. When those openings are blocked by mortar or by landscaping built up against the wall, the water has nowhere to go and stands on the shelf instead.
What does standing water on the ledge reach?
The bottom plate of the wall above it and the edge of the slab itself. That is the lowest timber in the building and it is being fed from the outside, so the damage starts there and works up, and the room inside reads dry at hand height while the base is wet.
