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 Wichita Falls

The Wichita Falls area our local pros cover for water damage restoration takes in Depot Square, Morningside, and West Floral Heights. A Wichita County city on the red plains of north Texas, where the climate swings between multi-year drought and sudden heavy rain.

Housing stock

Over four fifths of the housing here predates 1990 — 79.6 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1972. Eighty percent predates 1990 and the median is early 1970s, on red clay across flat plains ground. Slab construction is standard.

Climate and water risk

Of the 27.89 inches that arrive in an average year, 3.81 fall in May; the 1991–2020 normals come from a gauge 5.3 miles away at WICHITA FALLS MUNI AP. May leads at under four inches out of twenty-eight, a modest total that arrives in a small number of intense systems.

Common water damage problems in Wichita Falls

  • A climate that alternates between long dry spells and sudden heavy rain
  • Red clay that cracks deeply in drought and sheds once it seals
  • Flat plains ground with very little fall in any direction
  • A river through the city draining a large area of open country

Frequently asked questions

It has been dry here for two years.

Which does not reduce the risk and in some ways sharpens it. Long drought opens deep cracks in the clay and bakes the surface hard, so when heavy rain finally arrives it either runs straight off the sealed surface or goes directly down the cracks to depth. The transition out of a dry spell is the dangerous part.

Twenty-eight inches a year is not much rain.

The annual figure is a poor description of any actual day here. A large share arrives in a few systems, and this part of the state has recorded some very large single-storm totals. Drainage is tested by those events rather than by an average that no year much resembles.

The ground is completely flat.

It is, and that removes the mechanism that normally takes water away. With almost no gradient there is nowhere lower for it to go, so it spreads across the surface and stays until it soaks in or evaporates. On clay that has just sealed itself, the first of those is barely available.
