Water & Storm Damage
When water or storm damage occurs, every minute counts. Moisture rapidly penetrates carpets, drywall, flooring, and furniture—the longer water sits, the more extensive and costly the damage becomes. Standing water creates ideal conditions for mold growth and structural deterioration, transforming a manageable situation into a major problem.
Protect your property and the health of everyone inside by contacting Dry Works Restoration immediately at (361) 371-7777 when water or storm damage occurs. Our extraction specialists will arrive promptly to remove all standing water and deploy commercial-grade drying equipment throughout affected areas, halting ongoing damage and preventing mold and mildew from taking hold.
Water Damage Challenges in Coastal Texas
The Texas Gulf Coast presents unique challenges when it comes to water damage. Hurricane season brings intense storms that can overwhelm drainage systems and flood properties with little warning. The region's high humidity means moisture from water intrusion can become trapped within walls and flooring, creating hidden pockets of damage that worsen over time if not addressed with professional equipment and techniques.
Steps You Can Take Before We Arrive
While waiting for our restoration team to reach your location, there are several actions you can safely take to minimize further damage and prepare for effective mitigation:
- Shut off the water supply at its source if the leak is accessible and you can do so safely
- Carefully move lamps, electronics, and small items to dry areas
- Remove artwork, photographs, and wall-mounted valuables from affected walls when safe
- Elevate furniture legs using aluminum foil, wooden blocks, or plastic containers to break contact with wet flooring
- Blot excess water from upholstered furniture surfaces
- Keep family members and pets away from affected areas—floodwater and sewage backups can harbor dangerous bacteria and other contaminants that pose serious health risks
