Trust TexUS, your first choice in water damage contractors for home interiors

Every leak is different, and how it appears varies as well. Far too often, leaks end up being sneaky and running between walls or showing up in a rarely used closet, living in silence until the smell of mildew gives them away.

Once you’ve discovered a leak, it’s important to act fast and take two important steps. Step #1 is to contact the experts. TexUS Roofing & Construction is a trusted home remodeling contractor offering water damage remediation and repair in Dallas-Fort Worth and Austin, TX . We have the crew, know-how, and high-quality equipment to dry up your leak fast.

Step #2 is to do what you can to dry the water and reduce damage in the meantime. High-suction vacuums, fans, and dehumidifiers are your best friend at this stage of the game.

Removing water-damaged items and materials

Pulling out the right materials at the right time keeps your home's structure sound. The easy part is removing furniture, rugs, and carpet. It gets harder with stained or mildewed drywall and siding, and harder still when water reaches structural wood that has begun to rot or warp.

A homeowner with some construction experience can tackle the basics, but we recommend bringing in a professional remediation team to do the work efficiently and with the least impact on your home's structure. TexUS Roofing & Construction offers free water damage inspections and a fair, honest quote on what it will take to dry out the affected areas and get your home back in shape.

Ways to limit water damage

Pulling moisture out in the first two days is the single biggest thing you can do to prevent mold. After 48 hours, water is harder to remove and the odds of mildew and mold climb sharply, so the steps you take right away matter.

A few that help: check the outdoor humidity, and if it is reasonably low, open as many windows and doors as you can for free circulation. Run fans on high as close to the saturated area as possible. Keep a wet/dry Shop Vac on hand to pull water out of carpets, rugs, and cabinets. Rent a commercial dehumidifier from a tool rental shop rather than buying one. And prop open affected closets and cabinets so air can reach them.

Check the humidity levels outside. If they are reasonably low, open up your home as much as possible. The more windows and doors you can open, the greater the circulation…and it’s free!

Add electricity to the effort. Pull out your old fans, borrow them, or buy new ones but get them going on high speed as close to the saturated area as possible.

A good Shop Vac that works on dry material and water is a wise investment. Every home should have one. Shop Vacs go a long way in sucking up water in carpets and rugs or inside cabinets.

Dehumidify when possible. Buying a commercial dehumidifier costs hundreds of dollars. However, tool rental places like Home Depot rent them for much less.

Prop open affected closets or cabinets to make sure they are getting circulation.
