Water Damage Restoration in Katy, Texas

Katy was built out across reclaimed prairie west of Houston, and the master-planned communities at Cinco Ranch, Grand Lakes, and Seven Meadows rely on detention ponds and engineered drainage to move stormwater. A slow-moving tropical system can put more rain on that system over several days than it was designed to carry, and the water backs up into garages and first floors.

Nearly all of the housing here is slab on grade over flat, clay-heavy Katy Prairie soil. Slab leaks are common as those neighborhoods age past the twenty-year mark, and because the water surfaces at flooring rather than at the break, we moisture map to locate the failure before any drying begins.

Gulf Coast humidity keeps dew points high for most of the year, so a Katy home that takes on water and is dried with box fans instead of professional equipment usually develops growth in wall cavities within weeks. We dry to verified standards, document every reading, and rebuild what we remove.
