Water Damage Restoration - Done in the Right Order

Each stage is performed by the independent restoration contractor the call reaches; IICRC S500 is the industry standard that describes them.

  1. Step 1: Extraction

    Standing water is pumped out before it can travel further into drywall, subfloor, and framing. Speed here changes the scope of everything that follows.

  2. Step 2: Moisture mapping

    Meters read the material, not the air, so the wet edge is found even when the surface already looks dry. The map sets what has to come out and what can stay.

  3. Step 3: Drying

    Air movers and dehumidifiers run as a closed system until readings inside the material reach a dry standard, not until a calendar date arrives.

  4. Step 4: Verification

    The same points are re-read before equipment comes out. Rebuild starts only after the structure, not just the surface, is confirmed dry.

What drives water into buildings in Fort Worth

The Fort Worth area our local pros cover for water damage restoration takes in Downtown Fort Worth, Fairmount, and Como. A Tarrant County city of nearly a million where the Trinity runs through the center between levees built after the flood that reshaped the city's thinking about it.

Housing stock

Only 53.6 percent of the housing here went up after 1989; the median construction year is 1994. Just over half postdates 1990, though the older core is a great deal older than that. The city spans a limestone escarpment on one side and prairie clay on the other, and the two behave nothing alike.

Climate and water risk

October is the wettest month here at 4.46 inches, part of an annual 35.34 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from FT WORTH MEACHAM FLD, 2.7 miles off. October leads at under four and a half inches within thirty-five for the year, and the heaviest rain comes from slow spring and autumn systems rather than summer storms.

Common water damage problems in Fort Worth

  • Levees along the river through the center, which address the river and nothing else
  • A limestone escarpment on one side of the city and expansive prairie clay on the other
  • Creeks entering from catchments that have been built out over several decades
  • Slow-moving systems delivering a month's rain across a day or two

Frequently asked questions

There are levees along the river. Why did the house still flood?

Because the levees address the river and most flooding here is not the river. Water arriving from a street at capacity, from a creek draining a built-out catchment, or from groundwater against a wall is a local problem that no levee is aimed at. The distinction matters because it determines which agency, which insurance and which remedy applies.

Two houses across the city behave completely differently.

The city spans two quite different landscapes. On the limestone side water travels along seams in the rock and there is very little soil to hold it; on the prairie side the clay swells and shrinks and sheds almost everything. Those need different remedies, and advice from one side of town is frequently wrong on the other. Establishing which one a property is on comes first.

New cracking and a jump in the water bill.

On the prairie half of the city those two symptoms are one problem. The soil expands and contracts with the seasons, the slab travels with it, and a line cast into or under that concrete eventually parts at a joint. Because the escape goes into the ground rather than into a room, the bill is often the only visible sign. Closing the supply at the meter and watching the dial for an hour costs nothing and settles it.
