Real reviews from the cities we serve, exactly as written.

Tropical storm rainfall flooded our subdivision along the bayou, leaving several inches of muddy runoff in our ground floor. They completed meticulous flood cuts, disinfected all exposed studs with antimicrobial wash, and had our moisture readings down to standard in four days.
★★★★★
Living right on the island means flood cleanup has to happen fast before humidity ruins everything. These technicians arrived with fully equipped drying trailers, removed ruined baseboards, and treated the sill plates to prevent rot. True coastal disaster experts.

Tropical moisture dumped ten inches of rain in six hours, overwhelming our foundation drainage. The technicians deployed high-capacity water extractors and checked daily with thermal imaging cameras until all wall studs were completely dry.

Straight answers first — call any time for more.
A real person answers, day or night — no obligation.
Get everyone, including pets, out of the flooded rooms and into a dry part of the home first, and do not wade back in for belongings. Then call (800) 555-0100 immediately — a local pro can arrive in 30–60 minutes at any hour. Photograph the water from a dry doorway, and raise dry valuables only where you can reach them without entering water.
Yes — treat it as a reason to act faster, not to wait and watch. A score of 98.63 out of 100 (FEMA NRI, March 2023) means Travis County creeks respond violently to heavy rain, and water that looks manageable can climb within the same storm. Move people and pets to dry rooms, keep out of the water, and make the call to (800) 555-0100 now.
Only if it is the way to reach safety and the water is shallow, still and nowhere near outlets or appliances. Flood water hides debris and contamination, and ground-floor units share drainage that can surcharge without warning. If the stairs are reachable dry-footed from another route, use that; otherwise stay put in a dry room and tell the pro exactly where you are.
Only from a completely dry spot, with dry hands, without stepping through water or onto a wet floor to reach the box. If there is any doubt, leave the power as it is, keep everyone away from sockets and appliances, and tell the pro on the call. A flooded panel needs a qualified electrician once the water is out.
Calls to (800) 555-0100 are answered 24/7, and a local pro can typically arrive in 30–60 minutes across Austin's 43 ZIP codes. In the worst Travis County storms, flooded low crossings slow every journey in the city — calling at the first sign of water, rather than after the rain eases, still puts you ahead of the rush.
Say plainly that drains are backing up and the water carries a sewage smell. That tells the pro the water is contaminated at the highest category, so the crew arrives with the right protective equipment and a sanitizing plan. Keep skin contact at zero, keep children and pets well away, and do not try to clean any of it tonight.
Settle them in a dry, upper or unaffected room and keep them there — flood water fascinates children, and animals drink from it. Do not let them back into wet rooms for toys or bedding. If the whole ground floor is affected and somewhere safe nearby is reachable without crossing deep water, go, and tell the pro where you will be.
Treat it as among the most urgent situations on this page. Water carrying household current gives no visible warning. Keep everyone out of the room, touch no switches or plugs, and say exactly this on your call to (800) 555-0100 so the pro plans for it. An appliance that has been in flood water should not be used again until it has been properly checked.
Yes — extraction is the purpose of the first visit once the home is safe to work in. The pro checks hazards first, then pumps and extracts standing water, removes material that cannot be saved, and sets drying equipment running. You will also get a clear explanation of the next steps and their timing before the pro leaves.
Call 911 first whenever anyone is in immediate danger, trapped, or left without a safe dry floor as water climbs. A cleanup call never outranks a rescue call. If you are safe but the water is still rising, stay on the line with (800) 555-0100, report that it is climbing, and keep updating the pro as conditions change.
Do these things right now in Austin, TX: get children and pets out of the flooded rooms, stay out of water that touches anything electrical, and raise dry valuables only where you can reach them without wading. Then call (800) 555-0100 — a local pro can arrive in 30–60 minutes, at any hour.

Safe steps only — do these while you wait for the pro.
Flood water inside a home is dangerous before it is expensive. It can hide live electrical hazards wherever it touches outlets, cords and appliances; it carries bacteria, road chemicals and sometimes sewage against your skin; and it weakens flooring while hiding what lies beneath the surface. In Austin, add the creeks: Travis County waterways can keep rising after the rain over your street has eased. Treat every flooded room as unsafe until a pro says otherwise. Stay out of the water, keep others out, and make the call — that is the whole of your job in the first hour.
Well done — you have done the safe first steps. Now let a pro handle the water.

What to do while you wait, and what the pro does first.
Your wait should be measured in minutes, and your only tasks are safe ones. Stay in the dry part of the home with children and pets. If the floor is dry underfoot, gather documents, medicines and phone chargers into one bag. Photograph each flooded room from its doorway. Do not mop, do not run fans in wet rooms, and do not lift soaked carpet — a pro removes it in a way that does not spread contamination through the house.
Austin's defining emergency: creek water crosses the threshold and keeps coming while the watershed drains. Do not open doors against pressure from outside water, and do not try to hold back water from inside a flooding room. Move what you can reach dry-footed to higher furniture, call, and let extraction begin as the inflow slows — a pro can pump against a falling level sooner than you may expect.
Water touching outlets, a water heater, a washer or an HVAC unit turns a flood into an electrical hazard. Never step into that water, never touch a panel with wet hands or while standing on a wet floor, and keep everyone away until the pro confirms the area is safe. Switch off power only from a completely dry location; with any doubt, leave it and say so on the call.
A sewage smell, or toilets and drains bubbling and backing up during flooding, means the water in your home should be treated as contaminated — which flood water already is, at the highest category. Keep skin contact at zero, ventilate from dry areas if windows can be opened without entering the water, and tell the pro exactly what you smelled and saw: it changes the protective equipment and sanitizing plan on arrival.
A ceiling that sags or bulges after water enters from above is holding real weight and can collapse without warning. Nobody goes into that room — not for belongings, not for a pet's cage, not for one quick photograph. Close the door if it is safe to reach, tell the pro on the call, and let them drain and open it under controlled conditions.
First, people and pets out of the water. Second, no contact between flood water and anything electrical. Third, dry valuables raised only where reachable without wading. Fourth, photographs from dry ground. Fifth, the call to (800) 555-0100 with your ZIP code and a plain description: which rooms, how deep, still rising or falling. Those five steps, in that order, are everything an Austin homeowner needs to do before help walks in.
The first hour follows a fixed order. The pro confirms the home is safe to enter, checks for electrical and contamination hazards, and stops any water still entering if that can be done safely. Extraction starts with pumps in the deepest water and works outward, while a second check maps how far moisture has already travelled into walls and floors. Before the hour ends you will know what has been removed, what drying equipment is running, what happens tomorrow, and what to tell your insurer — the emergency becomes a managed job, with readings and photos documenting every step.
