Cleanup, Drying and Repairs
Structural Drying
Air movers and dehumidifiers pull moisture out of framing, subfloor and drywall, with readings to prove it happened.
Structural Drying
Burst Pipe and Leak Cleanup
Clean water from a supply line still ruins flooring and drywall if it sits. The cleanup starts once the water is off.
Burst Pipe Cleanup
Storm and Flood Cleanup
Outside water brings silt, yard waste and whatever the street carried. Porous materials it soaked usually come out.

Sewage Backup Cleanup
Handled as a biohazard: containment, removal of contaminated materials, cleaning and disinfection of what stays.

Commercial RestorationHow the Work Is Organized
Nearly every job runs in the same order: stop the water, remove what is standing, take out material that cannot be saved, dry what can, then repair. The part that varies is the middle. Clean water caught within a few hours often means most of the flooring and drywall stays. Water that sat for two days, or came from a drain, usually means more of it goes.
Austin homes are almost all slab-built, so water moves out and sideways rather than down into a basement. It travels under baseboards, along the tack strip and into the bottom few inches of drywall, and it can show up two rooms away from where it started. That is why the first visit is spent finding the edge of the wet area rather than setting up equipment in the obvious spot.
If the water came from a supply line, a plumber has to make the repair before drying is worth starting. Austin Restoration Pros handles the cleanup, drying and rebuilding side, and will tell you plainly when another trade needs to go first.
