  2. 2Keep clear of standing water near outlets or cords.
  3. 3Move furniture and valuables out of the wet area.
  4. 4Photograph the damage before anything is removed.

Creeks and rivers across Central Texas rise quickly in heavy rain. Flood water is contaminated and needs careful cleanup.

  1. 1Stay out of standing flood water, and keep children and pets away.
  2. 2Do not enter flooded rooms while the power is on in that area.
  3. 3Photograph water lines on walls and damaged belongings.
  4. 4Keep wet items you plan to discard until they are documented.

Water through the ceiling

A stain, bulge or drip from above usually means water is pooling where you cannot see it.

  1. 1Put a container under the drip and clear the area below.
  2. 2Stay out of rooms where the ceiling is sagging.
  3. 3Switch off lights and ceiling fans in the affected room.
  4. 4Note when the drip started and whether it follows rain.

Mold after a leak

A musty smell or spots on walls after a leak can mean moisture stayed behind long enough for mold to grow.

  1. 1Do not scrub or dry-brush large patches of mold.
  2. 2Keep the door to the affected room closed.
  3. 3Note any leak that happened in that area before.
  4. 4Avoid running fans that blow air across the growth.

What to know

Water Damage Restoration in Central Texas: What Homeowners Should Know

What does water damage restoration involve?

Water damage restoration is the work of removing water, drying the structure and repairing what the water ruined. It starts with finding and stopping the source, then extracting standing water, drying walls, floors and cavities with air movers and dehumidifiers, and taking moisture readings until materials are dry. Damaged drywall, flooring, baseboards or insulation is then removed and replaced.

The order matters. Drying before rebuilding means new materials are not installed over damp framing, and the readings show when it is safe to close walls again.

Why fast drying matters

Water keeps moving after the surface looks dry. It wicks up drywall, spreads under flooring and settles into insulation and subfloors. The EPA advises drying water-damaged areas and items within 24 to 48 hours to prevent mold growth. The sooner drying starts, the less material usually has to come out.

Water risks in Central Texas homes

Central Texas sees both extremes. Heavy rain can push creeks and rivers such as Brushy Creek, the San Gabriel River, the San Marcos River and the Blanco River out of their banks, and hard freezes can split pipes in attics and exterior walls of homes built for heat. Many homes in the area sit on slab foundations, where a hidden supply-line leak can show up as a damp spot in flooring or a wet baseboard.

Services the line covers

Calls cover the whole job, in three stages:

The same line also reaches providers for mold remediation and fire and smoke damage.

What to tell the provider when you call

A clear description helps the call reach the right help and makes the first visit more useful:

  • where the water came from, if you know
  • which rooms and floors are affected
  • how long the water has been there
  • whether the power is on in the wet areas
  • whether the water is clean (a supply line) or dirty (a drain, toilet or flood water)

FAQ

Water Damage Restoration Questions from Central Texas Homeowners

How quickly should water damage be dried out?

As soon as you can. The EPA advises drying water-damaged areas and items within 24 to 48 hours to prevent mold growth, so it helps to call once the water is under control.

Who will I be talking to when I call?

The line routes your call to an independent restoration provider who serves your area. WDR is a referral service and does not do the work itself.

Which areas does the line cover?

Round Rock, Georgetown, Leander and Cedar Park in Williamson County, and San Marcos and Kyle in Hays County. If you are near a city edge, give your ZIP code on the call.

Do I need to stop the water before calling?

If you can reach the main shut-off valve safely, close it first. If you cannot, call anyway and say so; the provider can talk you through the next steps.

Will my homeowners insurance pay for the damage?

That depends on your policy and the cause of the water. Call your insurer to report the damage, and photograph everything before cleanup starts. The provider can explain what records they keep.
