Water damage restoration Argyle TX: what to do first
Close the main water valve, switch off breakers to any wet room you can reach safely, and phone (940) 274-9880. A person answers, not a machine. For most of Argyle we aim to have a truck in your driveway in about 60 minutes.
Once we arrive, the job has three parts. First we find every wet spot with meters and a thermal camera. Next we pull the water out and set LGR dehumidifiers and air movers. Last, we log moisture readings each day until the house tests dry, which usually takes 3 to 5 days.
Argyle sits roughly 7 miles south of downtown Denton, where our crews are based. US 377 connects the two towns directly, so the drive is short at almost any hour.
Local risk
Why Argyle homes take on water
A small town that doubled in housing since 2000 has a mix of old and new failure points.
New builds with attic equipment
Census estimates show more than a third of Argyle homes went up in 2010 or later. Many newer houses put the water heater or air handler in the attic. When a drain pan overflows up there, the first sign is often a stained ceiling downstairs.
1980s and 1990s homes in the older core
About 3 in 10 local homes date from the 1980s and 1990s. By now their supply lines, shutoff valves, and original water heaters are old enough to fail without warning.
Runoff from rapid growth
On April 30, 2019, a storm sent water into at least 8 homes on Skyline Drive and Valley View Court, some with up to 2 feet inside. Residents pointed to new development uphill. Town leaders brought in engineers to study the drainage.
Hail, freezes, and shifting soil
Storm reports logged 1.75 inch hail in Argyle on June 11, 2023, with stones near 3.5 inches just to the south. Add the February 2021 freeze and clay soil that moves under slabs, and roofs and pipes both take a beating.

Neighborhoods and nearby towns
Argyle by neighborhood, plus the towns around it
Each part of town has its own typical house, and each house type leaks in its own way.
● Old town and US 377 corridor
Denton County · 76226
Argyle got its name in 1881 when the Texas and Pacific railroad came through, and the town incorporated in 1960. Homes near the center include older ranch houses, some on pier and beam. Leaks under those floors can stay hidden until the smell shows up.
● Harvest
Argyle and Northlake · 76226
A 1,200 acre master-planned community by Hillwood that spans Argyle and Northlake. Recent construction, townhomes, and lots from 1 to 3 acres. Attic water heaters, PEX lines, and upstairs laundry rooms are common leak sources here.
● Canyon Falls
Argyle, Flower Mound, Northlake
Built where three towns meet, along Graham Branch Creek and its bluffs. Hillside lots move a lot of rain downhill fast, so window wells, patio doors, and garages on the low side deserve a look after big storms.

Our trucks cover the whole south Denton County area. Neighbors can visit our pages for Northlake across I-35W, Flower Mound to the southeast along FM 407, Justin to the west, and Denton and Corinth to the north. We also answer calls from Bartonville and Copper Canyon homes that share the 76226 ZIP.

Housing age
How old is the typical Argyle house?
The median home here dates to about 2002, but the spread is wide. Build year tells us where to look first.
| Decade built | Share of homes | Likely plumbing | First places we check |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1960s and 1970s | About 14% | Galvanized steel, copper, cast iron drains | Crawlspaces, corroded fittings, drain lines |
| 1980s and 1990s | About 32% | Copper, CPVC, some polybutylene | Water heaters, toilet supply lines, shower pans |
| 2000s | About 18% | CPVC and early PEX | Washer boxes, ice maker lines, AC condensate lines |
| 2010 and newer | About 36% | PEX, attic or garage water heaters | Attic drain pans, window flashing, roof valleys |
Shares are rounded from American Community Survey estimates for the Town of Argyle. Remodels change the picture, so we always test instead of assume.
Our process
What happens after you call
Talk to dispatch
The dispatcher helps you find the shutoff, asks what got wet, and sends a crew with extractors already loaded.
Moisture mapping
Meters and thermal imaging show where the water traveled. We sort it as Category 1, 2, or 3 so the cleanup fits the risk.
Water removal
Truck-mount and portable units pull water from carpet, pad, and hard floors. Wet drywall and baseboards come out when they cannot be dried in place.
Structural drying
Air movers and LGR dehumidifiers run while we record readings every day. Equipment stays until materials hit dry standard.
Rebuild
Our team puts back drywall, paint, trim, and floors, so the same people finish what they started.

Acreage, estates, and extra buildings
Large homes, barns, and guest houses
Argyle is a town of detached houses, many on big lots. Almost 98% of homes are single-family detached, and plenty of properties have a shop, barn, or casita out back. That changes how we scope a water loss.
- More square footage to check. A leak in a two-story home with several HVAC zones can reach rooms far from the source. We map every floor before we set equipment.
- Outbuildings count. Barns, wash racks, and guest quarters often share a water line with the house. Tell us about them so we can check each one.
- Private systems. If your property uses a well, pump, or septic system, mention it when you call. It affects shutoff steps and water category.
- Long driveways and gates. Share a gate code with dispatch so the crew does not lose time at the road.
Who to call
Utilities and offices that matter after a leak
Argyle’s services come from several providers, which confuses a lot of new residents.
| Need | Who handles it | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Water meter or main line problem | Argyle Water Supply Corporation | It is a separate utility, not a Town department |
| Sewer main backup | Town of Argyle Public Works | The Town maintains the main; your service line is yours |
| Electric or gas shutoff | CoServ, TXU, or Atmos, by address | Providers differ by location inside town |
| Plumbing or HVAC repair permit | Town permits office | Plumbing, HVAC, and electrical repairs need a permit |
| Drying and cleanup | Our crew | No permit is needed for extraction and drying |
Insurance
Filing a water damage claim in Argyle
Your policy decides what is covered. Most standard homeowners policies pay for sudden and accidental water, such as a split supply hose or a burst pipe. They usually exclude slow leaks, rising floodwater, and sewer backup unless you bought that coverage.
Adjusters want proof. Here is what we hand them:
- Dated photos of the source, the water, and damaged contents before anything moves.
- A moisture map showing every wet wall, floor, and cabinet on day one.
- Daily drying logs that prove when each room reached dry standard.
- An itemized estimate in the format carriers use, plus a walkthrough with your adjuster if you want one.
We work with all carriers and can work directly with your insurance company. Get a rough idea first with our insurance claim coverage estimator or the water damage cost calculator.

FAQ
Argyle water damage questions
How soon can a crew reach my house in Argyle?
We aim for about 60 minutes to most Argyle addresses. Our crews come down US 377 from Denton, and the dispatcher will give you an honest arrival window when you call.
Do you serve Harvest, Canyon Falls, and the rest of 76226?
Yes. We work across the 76226 ZIP, including Harvest, Canyon Falls, the old town area, and nearby Bartonville, Copper Canyon, and Northlake.
Who do I call if the water meter or main line is leaking?
Call Argyle Water Supply Corporation for problems on their side of the meter. It is a separate utility from the Town. Leaks on your side are a job for your plumber, and we handle the water damage inside.
Can you check my barn or guest house too?
Yes. Many Argyle properties have outbuildings on the same water line. We test and dry those structures along with the main house if they got wet.
How long does restoration take for a large home?
Drying still takes about 3 to 5 days in most cases, but bigger homes need more equipment. Repairs can add a few days to several weeks depending on flooring, cabinets, and drywall.
Does homeowners insurance cover water damage in Argyle?
Often, if the water was sudden and accidental. Flooding from outside, slow leaks, and sewer backup without an endorsement are usually not covered. We document the loss so your adjuster has what they need.
Do I need a Town permit for water damage repairs?
Extraction and drying do not need one. Plumbing, HVAC, and electrical repairs in Argyle do. Your plumber or our rebuild team will pull permits when the work calls for it.
