Water & Fire Damage Restoration
Across Texas

Texas faces a split restoration reality: Hill Country droughts feed devastating wildfires like Smokehouse Creek (2024) and Bastrop (2011), while East Texas hurricanes like Harvey bring catastrophic flooding. Many TX homes need restoration crews certified for both — especially when drought-weakened structures then face torrential rain.

Texas Risk Profile

Why Texas Homes Face Unique Water Damage Risks

Texas is the disaster capital of America. Winter Storm Uri in February 2021 caused an estimated $195 billion in statewide damages when temperatures in Dallas fell to -2°F — millions of Texans suffered catastrophic pipe bursts in homes never designed for sustained freezing. Four years later, winterization remains a patchwork effort across the state.

Gulf Coast cities face hurricane-driven storm surge: Hurricane Harvey dropped over 60 inches of rain on the Houston metro in August 2017 — a U.S. record that still stands. The I-35 corridor and North Texas face frequent supercell storms with hail and torrential rain. Clay soils across much of Central Texas cause foundation shifting that breaks slab plumbing, often going undetected for months until a water bill spike or warped floor reveals the problem.

Freeze Events

Winter Storm Uri and subsequent freezes have shown that Texas homes remain underinsulated for sustained cold — pipe bursts peak in February.

Hurricane Season

Houston, Corpus Christi, Galveston, and Beaumont face Atlantic hurricane season every June through November.

Supercell Storms

North and Central Texas sit in one of America's most active severe weather corridors — hail, torrential rain, and tornadoes.

Foundation-Related Leaks

Expansive clay soils cause slab shifts that crack plumbing, with leaks often hidden for months before discovery.

West Texas Wildfire Aftermath

The 2024 Smokehouse Creek Fire and 2011 Bastrop fires left entire communities needing fire, smoke, and structural rebuild. Hill Country grassland fires are followed by flash floods that turn burn scars into mudslides.

Post-Fire Firefighting Saturation

Texas wildfire suppression saturates structures with thousands of gallons of water. The result: homes need both fire and water damage restoration simultaneously.

For Texas Homeowners

Texas Insurance & Licensing: The Rules That Matter

Texas operates under strict prompt-payment rules for insurance claims. Under the Texas Insurance Code Chapter 542, carriers must acknowledge your claim within 15 days, accept or reject within 15 business days after receiving proof of loss, and pay within 5 business days of acceptance. Delays beyond these trigger 18% statutory interest penalties.

Unlike most states, Texas does not have a general contractor license at the state level — which makes vetting contractors critical. However, plumbers must be licensed through the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners (TSBPE), and mold remediation contractors must hold a Mold Remediation Contractor license from TDLR for jobs over 25 contiguous square feet. Public adjusters are licensed through the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI).

Texas standard homeowners policies do not cover flood damage — that requires a separate NFIP policy. This is especially important in Houston and coastal Texas, where non-flood-zone properties have been inundated by recent storms.

Texas FAQs

Good Questions. TX Answers.

Do you handle wildfire, smoke, and soot damage in Texas? +
Yes. Our Texas crews are certified for full wildfire restoration — including Hill Country grass fires, West TX range fires, and major events like the 2024 Smokehouse Creek Fire. Services include soot removal, smoke odor neutralization, HVAC decontamination, and structural rebuild under TDLR-licensed contractors.
Can a Texas hurricane cause fire damage? +
Yes, indirectly. Hurricane-damaged electrical systems (especially from Hurricane Harvey in 2017) cause structural fires days or weeks after the storm passes. Flooded outlets, damaged breaker panels, and saturated insulation are common ignition sources in East Texas restoration jobs.
Does my Texas homeowners policy cover flood damage? +
No. Standard Texas homeowners insurance covers sudden and accidental water damage from inside the home (pipe bursts, appliance leaks) but specifically excludes "rising water" — which includes hurricane storm surge, river flooding, and flash flooding. For flood coverage you need a separate NFIP (National Flood Insurance Program) policy, which has a 30-day waiting period before taking effect.
What is the Texas 60-day rule for insurance claims? +
Under Texas Insurance Code §542.056, insurers have 15 days to acknowledge your claim, 15 business days to accept or reject after receiving proof of loss, and 5 business days to pay after acceptance. If the insurer violates these deadlines, you may be entitled to 18% annual interest on the claim amount plus attorney's fees.
Do I need a licensed mold remediation contractor in Texas? +
For any mold remediation job exceeding 25 contiguous square feet, Texas law requires the contractor to hold a Mold Remediation Contractor (MRC) license from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR). Smaller jobs technically do not require the license, but using an MRC-licensed contractor is strongly advised — they follow TDLR-required protocols and carry the required insurance.
How do I winterize my Texas home to prevent another Uri event? +
Focus on three areas: (1) Insulate exposed pipes in attics, garages, and unheated spaces with foam sleeves or heat tape. (2) Install freeze-resistant outdoor hose bibs and drip inside faucets when temperatures drop below 20°F. (3) Know where your main water shutoff is and test it annually. After Uri, many Texas homes have been retrofitted — if yours has not been assessed, ask any restoration crew for a winterization inspection.
Do Texas contractors need to be state-licensed for general restoration? +
No — Texas is one of few states without a general contractor license. This makes vetting critical. Verify: IICRC certification (industry standard), proof of general liability insurance ($1M+), workers comp coverage, and references from recent Texas jobs. Plumbing subwork must be done by a TSBPE-licensed plumber, and mold work over 25 sq ft requires an MRC license.
