Water damage restoration is the work of stopping water, removing it, drying the structure and rebuilding what could not be saved. In The Colony, TX, that usually starts with a phone call at an awkward hour: a supply line gives way upstairs, a water heater tank fails in a closet, or a storm pushes water under a garage door.
The first day decides how big the job becomes. Wet drywall, insulation and carpet pad start to break down quickly, and the longer materials stay wet, the more of them have to be torn out. That is why our emergency line stays open around the clock and why we send crews the same day whenever that is possible.
While you wait for the crew, stop the source if it is safe to do so. Close the main water valve, turn off power to wet areas only if the panel is dry and easy to reach, lift valuables off wet floors, and keep people and pets out of any water that may be contaminated. If water is near outlets, appliances or the panel, leave the area and call the utility or 911 before you call us.
What a restoration job actually involves
A good job follows the published industry standard for water damage, ANSI/IICRC S500. You can ask any company whether its crews work to it. In plain terms, the work moves through five stages, and each one has a different goal.
First comes the safety check and source control. Then extraction, using submersible pumps and extraction units to pull standing water. Next, moisture mapping with meters and thermal imaging cameras shows where water traveled behind walls and under floors. Drying follows, with air movers and dehumidifiers running until readings return to the dry standard for each material. Last is cleanup and repair, which is where water damage repair takes over.
The stages overlap, and the order matters. Rebuilding before the structure is dry is how hidden moisture turns into a mold problem months later, so we do not skip ahead.
Water problems that show up around The Colony
The Colony sits on the eastern shore of Lewisville Lake, which began collecting water behind its dam in 1954, and lakeside neighborhoods such as Eastvale, a summer cottage community that merged with the city in 1987, grew up beside it. For homeowners near the shore, heavy rain and runoff are real concerns, and the sensible first step is to check the FEMA flood map for your address and ask the city's Engineering department about floodplain rules.
Winter is the other big cause. The February 2021 winter storm, declared as FEMA disaster DR-4586, covered Denton County, and the Dallas-Fort Worth average is about 29 freezes per season. Pipes in attics, exterior walls and garages are the usual casualties, which is why emergency water removal calls spike after hard freezes.
Everyday failures account for the rest: washing machine hoses, dishwasher lines, ice maker tubing, AC condensate drains and roof leaks. Most of these are sudden and accidental, which matters for your insurance claim, and we cover that further down this page.

What Decides The Cost Of Water Damage Work
No two losses cost the same, so we do not publish prices. What we can do is show you what moves the number, and explain the scope and price before any work starts. If you want a real figure for your home, the fastest route is a call to the dispatch line.
These are the five factors that matter most on a typical job in The Colony.
| Factor | How it changes the job |
|---|---|
| Water category | Clean supply water is simpler than gray or black water, which means more material removed and extra sanitizing. |
| Affected area | More square footage means more equipment, more labor and more drying time. |
| Materials involved | Hardwood, carpet pad, drywall and insulation each respond differently to moisture, and some cannot be saved. |
| Drying days | Equipment runs until readings reach the dry standard, so wetter structures need longer monitoring. |
| Rebuild scope | Repairs range from a patch and paint to replacing flooring, cabinets and framing. |
Ask for the scope in writing. A clear scope is the best protection against surprises.
Mold is the follow-on risk
Mold needs moisture, and a wet structure that stays wet for several days gives it what it needs. That is one reason prompt drying matters so much. If growth has already started, the work moves to mold remediation, which follows the S520 standard and has its own containment steps.
Texas has rules here. Under the state's mold program, visible mold of 25 contiguous square feet or more in covered residential property has to be handled by a state-licensed remediator, and the same person generally cannot do both the mold assessment and the remediation on one project. Ask any company about its license before you hire it.
Restoration is not waterproofing
People sometimes call after a wet basement or a damp foundation wall and ask whether we can stop the water from coming back. Restoration removes water and rebuilds what it damaged. It does not change grading, drainage or foundations, so if water keeps entering the same place, you also need a waterproofing or drainage contractor.
We will tell you honestly which part of the problem is ours. After a major loss, we also document the scope so your adjuster has what is needed for a large-loss claim.

We Work With Your Adjuster's Documentation Needs
Documentation for your insurance claim
We record moisture readings, take photos and write a scope of work that you can hand to your insurer. In general terms, sudden and accidental water damage, such as a burst pipe or a failed washing machine hose, is often covered, while gradual leaks and neglect often are not, and flood damage usually needs a separate flood policy. Check your policy and ask your insurer what applies. We never promise that a claim will be approved.
Water damage questions in The Colony
Do you handle water damage emergencies at night or on weekends in The Colony?
Yes. The dispatch line is open 24/7, including nights, weekends and holidays. Same-day response is offered when crews are available, and we will tell you plainly what to do while you wait. We do not promise a specific arrival time.
What should I do first when water is spreading in my house?
Stop the source. Close the main water valve, and if water is near outlets or the panel, stay out and call the utility or 911 about the electrical risk first.
Then lift valuables off wet floors, keep people and pets out of any water that may be contaminated, take photos for your insurer, and call the dispatch line.
Does homeowners insurance cover water damage in The Colony?
Often, if the damage was sudden and accidental, such as a burst pipe. Gradual leaks and flood damage are usually excluded, and flood needs separate coverage. Read your policy and ask your insurer, because wording and deadlines vary.
How long does drying take?
It depends on the materials, the amount of water and the conditions. Equipment runs and is checked until moisture readings return to the dry standard, which for most jobs means several days. A crew can give you a realistic plan after the first readings.
Can you help with a wet basement that keeps flooding?
We can remove the water and restore the damage. Stopping repeat flooding is a waterproofing or drainage job, which is a different trade. We will say so plainly rather than sell you the wrong fix.
Do you also handle mold?
Yes. Mold remediation is a secondary service, and Texas has licensing rules for larger jobs. If you see growth after a leak, call, and we will explain whether the job is small enough for homeowner cleanup or needs a licensed remediator.
Which cities do you serve besides The Colony?
Frisco, Lewisville, Plano, Carrollton and Little Elm. Each has a dedicated page with the ZIP codes we serve and local contacts for city water and permits.
