How We Work

Our process prioritizes your safety and property protection. We assess damage quickly, extract water or secure fire damage, and guide restoration so your home is habitable again.

1

Assessment

We evaluate the full scope of damage using moisture meters and visual inspection. This determines what extraction, drying, or fire mitigation steps are needed.

2

Water Extraction or Stabilization

For water events, we deploy pumps and extractors to remove standing water. For fire incidents, we board windows and tarps roofs to protect interiors from rain or further weather damage.

3

Drying and Dehumidification

Industrial dehumidifiers and air movers remove moisture from walls, floors, and hidden cavities. This prevents mold growth, which is common in Austin's humid climate.

4

Cleaning and Deodorization

We remove soot, smoke odors, and contaminants using thermal fogging or hydroxyl generators. Surfaces are cleaned to remove debris and sanitized for safe re-entry.

5

Restoration and Repair

Damaged drywall, flooring, and structural elements are repaired or replaced. We coordinate with insurance and work in phases to restore your home to pre-loss condition.

6

Final Inspection

We verify all moisture is gone, mold risk is eliminated, and your home meets safety and code standards before we close the project and hand keys back to you.

You'll always know what's happening next—and when.

Our Services

We place extractors and monitor moisture depth. Wet insulation and cavity moisture are treated with dehumidifiers and air movers to eliminate hidden damage.

  • Pump out standing water in hours, not days
  • Extract moisture from walls and cavities using thermal imaging
  • Dry and dehumidify before mold takes hold

We use thermal fogging and hydroxyl generators to neutralize odors at the molecular level. All surfaces are inspected and cleaned to remove soot and contaminants.

  • Eliminate persistent smoke odors with advanced deodorizers
  • Clean soot from walls, ceilings, and hidden cavities
  • Restore air quality and make your home safe to re-enter

Emergency Board-Up and Roof Tarping

After fire or storm damage, open windows and holes in roofs expose your property to rain and weather. Austin's humid summers accelerate mold if structure is not secured.

We install temporary boards and tarps within hours to seal the structure and prevent additional water damage during restoration work.

  • Secure windows, doors, and roof damage immediately
  • Prevent rain from entering interior during repairs
  • Protect against vandalism and weather for weeks or months

Mold Remediation

Austin's high humidity and older building stock in neighborhoods like Tarrytown and Hyde Park create ideal conditions for mold. Mold spreads quickly if moisture is not fully removed.

We identify mold colonies, remove contaminated materials, and apply remediation protocols to prevent regrowth. Air testing confirms mold levels are safe before we complete work.

  • Locate hidden mold in walls and HVAC systems
  • Remove contaminated materials and apply sealants
  • Test air quality to ensure mold is eliminated

  • Remove water-logged or fire-damaged drywall
  • Repair or replace flooring, insulation, and framing
  • Rebuild walls and ceilings to pre-loss condition

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I file an insurance claim for water and fire damage?

Yes, if the damage is sudden and accidental (burst pipes, unexpected fire). We document everything with photos and detailed reports, then coordinate directly with your insurance adjuster to ensure you receive coverage.

Do I need special permits for fire damage repairs in Austin?

Structural repairs, roof replacement, and electrical work require permits from the City of Austin. We handle all permit coordination and inspections so your home passes code compliance before final restoration.

How do you prevent mold after water damage?

We extract standing water, deploy dehumidifiers and air movers, and monitor moisture levels in walls and cavities until they drop below safe thresholds. Austin's humidity means professional drying is critical within 24 hours of water intrusion.

What if my home is in a flood zone near Waller Creek or Shoal Creek?

Properties in floodplains are eligible for flood insurance and may qualify for state or federal disaster assistance after major events. We help document damage and coordinate with emergency management agencies so you access all available resources.

Can restoration work happen while I'm living in my home?

For minor water damage or smoke remediation, work can proceed with certain sections isolated. Major structural repairs usually require temporary relocation. We coordinate with your insurance and help arrange accommodations during restoration work.
