24/7 Emergency
Storm & Flood Damage Recovery in Odessa, 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.

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 exactly is a playa basin?
A shallow, roughly circular basin with no outlet, sealed at the bottom by a layer of clay. They are scattered in their thousands across this plain, and they are how the country drains: water collects in them and soaks away slowly or evaporates.
Why does water sit in one for so long?
Because the clay floor is what makes it a playa. Water that would sink into the sandy ground elsewhere here meets a seal, so a basin fills in an afternoon and can hold water for weeks afterward in a climate where nothing else stays wet.
How would anyone know a lot is near one?
From the older aerial photography, which shows them plainly before the streets went in. It is worth looking at, because a filled playa under a lot behaves quite differently from the ground either side of it and no surface grading changes that.
