Found water in your house? Do these five things
Shut it off
Use the fixture valve if you can, or the main. Most homes have a main valve near the front hose bib or in a curbside box.
Kill power to wet rooms
Flip the breakers only if the panel is dry and you are not standing in water.
Lift what matters
Put rugs, papers, electronics, and wood furniture legs up on blocks or foil.
Photograph everything
Shoot wide and close-up pictures before cleanup. Your adjuster will ask for them.
Skip the shop vac marathon
Surface water is the easy part. What soaked into pad, drywall, and subfloor is what grows mold.
What Argyle houses have in common
Argyle is a town of owners. Census data shows about 92% of homes are owner occupied, and nearly all are detached single-family houses. That means the person calling us is usually the person who will pay the deductible and live with the repairs, so we explain every choice before we cut anything.
The housing stock splits into two groups. Roughly one home in seven was built in the 1960s or 1970s, and about 3 in 10 date from the 1980s and 1990s. The other half went up after 2000, with a big wave since 2010 in places like Harvest.
| Home type | Where water usually starts | What makes drying harder |
|---|---|---|
| Older ranch, pier and beam | Supply lines, drain joints under the floor | Moisture trapped in the crawlspace and subfloor |
| 1980s to 1990s slab home | Water heater, toilet supply, shower pan | Wet slab under tile or laminate |
| New two-story | Attic water heater, upstairs laundry, AC drain pan | Water drops through ceilings into two floors |
| Home with casita or shop | Shared line to the outbuilding | Damage in a building nobody checks daily |
The service
How home water damage restoration works in Argyle
We follow the IICRC S500 standard, which sets how wet materials are measured, dried, and verified. On a typical house job you can expect:
- Inspection day one. Moisture meters and a thermal camera trace the water past what you can see.
- Extraction. We pull water from carpet and pad, and lift pad that cannot be saved.
- Controlled demo. A flood cut removes drywall a short way above the wet line so walls dry from inside.
- Drying. Air movers and LGR dehumidifiers run 3 to 5 days in most homes, with readings logged daily.
- Contents care. Furniture gets blocked up or moved, and we can pack out rooms when needed.
- Rebuild. Drywall, texture, paint, trim, and flooring are put back by our own team.
Bigger homes need a bigger plan
A water loss in a 4,000 square foot two-story with several HVAC zones behaves differently than one in a starter home. Water that starts in an upstairs laundry can show up in a ceiling on the far side of the house. We scan both floors before we set equipment, then size dehumidifiers for the real volume of wet material.
If your property has a guest house, barn, or detached shop on the same water line, mention it. We check those buildings too, because a leak there can go unnoticed for days.
What drives the cost, and what insurance pays
No two jobs are priced the same. The main factors are how long water sat, how many rooms it reached, whether it is clean or contaminated, and what the floors and cabinets are made of. Hardwood and custom cabinetry take more time than carpet and builder-grade vanities. Try the water damage cost calculator for a ballpark.
A standard homeowners policy usually covers sudden and accidental water, like a broken supply line. It usually does not cover a slow drip that went on for months or water that came in from outside during a flood. We document moisture readings and photos from the first hour, and we can work directly with your insurance company.

FAQ
Questions from Argyle homeowners
Can I stay in my house while it dries?
Usually, yes. Drying equipment is loud and warm, but most families stay home. We may suggest moving out if the water was contaminated or the kitchen and bathrooms are all out of use.
Will you have to tear out my hardwood floors?
Not always. If we reach them early, many solid hardwood floors can be dried in place with special mats. Engineered floors and laminate are harder to save once water gets under them.
My ceiling is stained under an attic water heater. What now?
Turn off water to the heater and set a bucket under the drip. Do not poke the ceiling if it sags. We check the attic insulation, the ceiling drywall, and the walls below for trapped water.
Do you handle older pier and beam homes?
Yes. We check the crawlspace and subfloor, where water hides under older houses, and set up drying under the floor as well as in the rooms.
How do I know the house is really dry?
We compare readings from wet areas to unaffected materials in the same home. When they match our dry standard, we share the final log with you and your adjuster.
Can you rebuild after drying is done?
Yes. We replace drywall, paint, trim, and flooring, so you do not need to hire another contractor to finish.
