What makes a Northlake house different to restore
The town had fewer than 2,000 residents in 2010, and much of its housing went up after Hillwood broke ground on Pecan Square in 2018. Newer does not mean leak proof. It means the weak points are different from those in a 1970s ranch house.
We see a lot of water coming from above: second-floor laundry rooms, upstairs tub and shower drains, and attic air handlers with condensate pans. Water from those spots runs along joists and shows up as a ceiling stain one or two rooms away. That is why we scan the whole floor below, not just the wet spot.
On the west side of Northlake, older homes on acreage bring different issues, such as crawlspaces, well lines, and decades of patched plumbing. Our team plans for both.
Right now
Your first 30 minutes after finding water at home
- Close the main shutoff. In most newer Northlake homes it sits in a box near the curb or in the garage wall.
- Cut power to wet rooms. Only if the breaker panel is dry and you can reach it without standing in water.
- Move what you can. Lift rugs, electronics, and photos off wet floors and put foil under furniture legs.
- Take photos and video. Capture the source, the waterline, and every damaged item before anything is thrown out.
- Call us at (940) 274-9880. A dispatcher sends a crew and tells you what to expect.

What we do
Residential water damage restoration Northlake TX homeowners can follow
We explain each step before we do it, and we leave a copy of the day’s readings.
- Mapping. Moisture meters and thermal imaging outline the wet area on a floor plan.
- Extraction. We pull water from carpet, pad, and hard floors with portable or truck-mount units.
- Selective removal. We cut drywall 2 feet up only where it is needed and save cabinets when we can.
- Drying. LGR dehumidifiers and air movers run until readings match dry materials in the same home.
- Rebuild. Drywall, texture, paint, trim, and flooring are matched to what you had.
Builder warranty, insurance, and who pays
If your home is only a year or two old, the builder may be responsible for a defective fitting or drain. That does not mean you should wait for them to send someone. Start drying now, report the problem to the builder in writing, and save the failed part.
Your homeowners policy may cover sudden and accidental water, minus your deductible. It usually will not pay for damage from a slow leak that went on for weeks. We provide photos, moisture logs, and an itemized estimate so your builder and your insurer see the same facts.
Cost depends on how many rooms got wet, the water category, what materials need replacing, and how long the leak ran. Our water damage cost calculator gives a rough range before we arrive.

We cover the I-35W corridor every day and aim to reach most Northlake homes in about 60 minutes.

FAQ
Home water damage questions in Northlake
My ceiling has a stain but the upstairs floor looks dry. What is going on?
Water from an upstairs drain or attic unit often runs along joists before it drips. The stain marks where it collected, not where it started. A thermal scan usually finds the path in minutes.
Can I stay in my house while it dries?
Usually, yes. The equipment is loud and warm, but most families stay home. We may suggest moving out for sewage water or when the kitchen and bathrooms are all torn out.
Will you work with my HOA on exterior repairs?
Yes. Interior drying rarely needs HOA approval. If the repair includes siding, roofing, or fences, we give you the details your HOA usually asks for.
Is water damage in a new home a builder problem or an insurance problem?
It can be either or both. A defective part may fall under the builder warranty, while your policy may cover the sudden damage. We document the cause so each party has what it needs.
Do you save hardwood and cabinets or replace them?
We try to save them. Floor drying mats and cabinet drying can rescue many materials if we start quickly. Swollen particleboard and badly cupped boards usually need replacing.
