Restoration Services in Houston, Texas
24/7 licensed restoration serving Houston and the rest of Harris County, for homes and commercial buildings alike.
Your Restoration Team in Houston
Property damage in Houston does not keep business hours, and neither do we. Our crews handle water extraction, fire and smoke restoration, mold remediation, and biohazard cleanup for homes and businesses throughout the area.
Our coverage runs across Harris County and the Gulf Coast region, taking in Tomball, Webster, Baytown, Bellaire. A property on a county road gets the same crew and the same equipment as one on a main street in Houston.
We use that first call to work out what we are sending and what you are dealing with. Where something needs doing immediately, like closing a valve or staying out of a room, we go through it with you while a technician is being dispatched.
The technician at your door is our employee, carrying our licensing and our insurance. Nobody subcontracts the job out after the phone call ends.

What Drives Property Damage Around Houston
Proximity to the Gulf means this part of Texas sees tropical storm and hurricane remnants more often than inland areas. Even storms that stay offshore can dump enough rain to overwhelm drainage and flood low-lying properties, and the region's humidity keeps materials from drying on their own afterward.
Proximity to the Gulf means this part of Texas sees tropical storm and hurricane remnants more often than inland areas. For properties in and around Houston, that shapes what we look for during an inspection and how long drying realistically takes. Even storms that stay offshore can dump enough rain to overwhelm drainage and flood low-lying properties, and the region's humidity keeps materials from drying on their own afterward.
The Gulf Coast region also changes the clock on a small problem. Materials that would dry on their own somewhere drier stay wet here long enough for mold to establish, usually inside 24 to 48 hours.
Local Building Stock
Housing along the Gulf Coast includes a high proportion of slab-on-grade construction alongside older raised and pier-and-beam homes built to sit above flood levels. Sustained humidity means materials here dry more slowly than almost anywhere else in Texas, so water that gets into a wall cavity or under flooring tends to stay there without mechanical drying. Crawl spaces under raised homes trap moist air, and that moisture migrates upward into the living space.
What To Do Right Now
The steps that limit damage, and the reactions that commonly make it worse.
Do This Now
- Shut off the water supply at the fixture or main if water is still running
- Cut power to the affected area at the breaker, but only if the panel is safely reachable and dry
- Get everyone out of rooms with sagging ceilings, standing water near outlets, or heavy smoke residue
- Photograph and video the damage before anything is moved or cleaned
- Move valuables, electronics, and documents out of the affected area if it is safe to do so
- Call us so the drying or containment clock starts as early as possible
Avoid Doing This
- ×Do not use a household vacuum on standing water
- ×Do not run the HVAC system if smoke, soot, or sewage has reached the ductwork
- ×Do not run fans in a room where mold is visible, since that spreads spores through the building
- ×Do not walk through contaminated water and then through clean areas of the property
- ×Do not wait for an adjuster before starting mitigation, since most policies require you to limit further damage
- ×Do not re-enter a fire-damaged structure before the fire department clears it
What Texas Law Requires
Mold remediation in Texas is a licensed activity. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation oversees it under Texas Occupations Code Chapter 1958, and projects affecting 25 contiguous square feet or more trigger licensing, notification, and work-plan requirements. That threshold is worth knowing before you hire anyone in Houston.
On licensed projects, Texas requires that the assessor and the remediator be separate parties. The firm that writes the scope cannot be the firm that bills for carrying it out, which removes the incentive to find more work than the situation calls for.
Not every patch of mold calls for a licensed remediation project. If yours is small and the leak behind it has been repaired, we will tell you honestly, since the alternative costs us a customer we would rather keep.
Working With Your Carrier
Most carriers in Texas draw the line at sudden and accidental. A burst pipe or a house fire generally qualifies, while a leak that ran quietly for months generally does not. That distinction gets decided on evidence, which is why we record conditions before touching anything.
Two things commonly catch people out. Flood, meaning rising water from outside, is excluded from standard homeowner coverage and needs a separate policy. Sewer backup is normally an add-on endorsement rather than part of the base cover.
Everything we do gets recorded, from pre-work photographs through to daily drying logs and an itemized account of what was removed. That record goes to your adjuster. We coordinate with most major carriers and make no promises about the outcome, since the decision belongs to the insurer.
Our Process in Houston
- 1
Call and Assessment
A person picks up and works through what happened, how far it has spread, and whether the building is safe to stay in. You get a realistic arrival window for Houston, set by where our nearest crew is.
- 2
Inspection and Moisture Mapping
Our technician traces the damage past what is visible using moisture meters and thermal imaging, establishing how far water, soot, or contamination has actually traveled through the structure.
- 3
Containment and Mitigation
Contaminated areas are contained first so nothing spreads into clean parts of the building. Extraction, drying, soot cleaning, or decontamination follows, according to what the inspection found.
- 4
Monitoring and Verification
Drying equipment runs until the numbers say the job is done, with readings recorded each day at the same points. Mold projects finish with the independent verification Texas requires.
- 5
Repair and Handover
What was removed gets rebuilt, and you receive the full documentation package. We walk the property with you, explain what was done, and point out anything worth keeping an eye on.
Homes and Businesses
Residential
Residential work in Houston is about getting the household back to normal with the least disruption the job allows. We protect contents, limit demolition to what the readings justify, and keep you informed as each room is released.
Commercial
For businesses in Houston, downtime usually outweighs the repair itself. We sequence the work so critical areas are dried and released first, work around operating hours where that is possible, and document to the standard commercial carriers expect.

Houston Restoration FAQ
What happens to my belongings during restoration?
Items in the affected area are moved clear, protected in place, or taken off site for cleaning and storage, depending on what the damage calls for. Everything removed is inventoried, and we tell you up front what we think can be saved.
Will my insurance cover restoration work in Houston?
Most Texas policies cover sudden, accidental damage such as a burst pipe or a fire. Gradual leaks are commonly excluded, flood requires separate coverage, and sewer backup is often a separate endorsement. We document thoroughly so your adjuster has what they need, though the coverage decision is your insurer's.
Do I need to move out while the work is done?
Often no. Where the damage is contained to part of the property, the rest usually stays usable. Sewage, heavy smoke, and some biohazard situations are different, and we tell you plainly at the inspection if the property is unsafe to occupy.
How soon should I call after discovering damage in Houston?
As soon as the property is safe. Mold can begin establishing in wet materials within roughly 24 to 48 hours, and clean water degrades toward contaminated water across the same window. Calling early usually reduces both the scope and the cost of the work.
Will the drying equipment increase my electricity bill?
Air movers and dehumidifiers do draw power while they run, typically for three to five days. Many policies that cover the loss also cover reasonable mitigation costs, and your adjuster can tell you whether that increase is claimable.
What should I do before your technician arrives at my Houston property?
Shut off the water supply if that is the source, cut power to affected rooms only if the panel is safely reachable, stay out of rooms with sagging ceilings or standing water near outlets, and photograph everything for your claim. We walk you through anything else on the call.
Do you work with businesses in Houston as well as homes?
Yes. We handle commercial properties including offices, retail, restaurants, and multi-tenant buildings. Commercial work is sequenced to get critical areas released first, since downtime is usually the larger loss.
Water, fire, mold, or a biohazard situation anywhere in Houston or Harris County: call and we will give you a straight assessment of what you are facing and what the work involves.
