From extraction to repair in Texas

Water damage across Texas

Flood water shapes much of the water damage in Texas. FEMA flood insurance records show 11.6 claims per 1,000 homes from 2016 to 2025. FEMA's National Risk Index puts yearly inland flood loss at 81 per $100,000 of building value. Yet only 5.8% of homes carry federal flood insurance. Flood water is Category 3, so flood damage restoration means removing carpet, pad and lower drywall.

Housing adds the indoor causes. Census figures show 34% of Texas homes were built before 1980 and 37% are rented. About 21% are in buildings with 5 or more units, where a leak upstairs can reach the unit below. Mobile and manufactured homes make up 7%, and their particleboard floors swell when wet. Households that moved in since 2021 make up 13%, and a new resident may not yet know where the shutoff valve is.

Before work starts, check your homeowners policy for sudden water, such as a burst pipe or failed water heater, which it usually covers. Outside water needs flood insurance, and a new federal flood policy usually waits 30 days before it starts. Ask whoever does the repairs for the license or registration your city requires. Texas also licenses mold remediation for larger jobs, so ask to see that license if mold turns up during water mitigation.

Water damage answers for Texas

How much does water damage restoration cost?

Most home jobs fall between about $1,300 and $6,400, based on HomeAdvisor's 2026 survey, with an independent HomeGuide range of $2,000 to $6,000. A small clean-water leak can be $150 to $500, while water that sat through much of a house can pass $15,000. Water removal and drying run about $3 to $12 per square foot, depending on whether the water was clean, gray or sewage. The written estimate after an inspection is the price that applies.

How long does it take to dry out water damage?

Drying usually takes several days, and the moisture readings decide when it is done, not the calendar. Clean water caught early in carpet and drywall dries faster than water that soaked into hardwood, plaster or subfloor for days. Equipment is billed per unit per day, so ask for the daily readings: they show which areas have reached the dry standard and when the air movers and dehumidifiers can come out.

Will my insurance pay for water damage in Texas?

Often, when the damage is sudden. Standard homeowners policies list accidental discharge from plumbing and appliances as covered, according to the Insurance Information Institute, while flooding from outside and sewer backup need separate coverage. Check your policy, call your insurer early and keep the crew's photos and moisture readings.

Do water damage companies need a license in Texas?

Texas has no statewide license for general contractors, so drying and repair companies may need only a city registration where a city asks for one. Plumbing must be done by a plumber licensed by the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners, and electrical work by a TDLR-licensed electrician. Mold remediation of 25 contiguous square feet or more needs a TDLR mold license under Texas Occupations Code chapter 1958, so ask who holds it if mold is found.
