Emergency Multi-Floor Residential Water Damage Restoration in Dallas, TX

Services Provided: Water Damage
Application: Residential

Restore Serve received an emergency call at 10:30 p.m. on a Friday from an elderly homeowner in Dallas, TX. A toilet on the second floor had been leaking for an extended period, and water had spread extensively throughout the property. Our team responded immediately and remained on-site until 3 a.m., working to extract the water and stabilize the environment.

The homeowner, who was 80 years old and unable to access the second floor, needed assistance shutting off the water supply. Our team helped coordinate that step before beginning mitigation efforts. By the time we arrived, water had already affected three rooms on the second floor and eight rooms downstairs, as well as the garage. The situation was urgent—the master bathroom ceiling was saturated and nearing collapse, and standing water had caused discoloration and staining throughout the property.

Once onsite, our technicians began extracting the standing water using professional-grade equipment. Due to the color and condition of the water—yellow-brown and likely contaminated—we took extra precautions to contain and remove affected materials. Several ceilings and walls in bathrooms had to be removed to access areas where water had pooled or been absorbed. This was necessary to eliminate potential contaminants and to allow for proper drying.

One of the key challenges in this project was addressing the widespread damage across multiple levels of the home. In addition to removing saturated materials, we installed drying equipment including air movers and dehumidifiers to reduce moisture levels throughout the structure. Air scrubbers were also placed strategically to help improve indoor air conditions while demolition and drying took place.

Over the course of several days, our team monitored progress to ensure all affected areas were drying effectively. Once the moisture levels returned to acceptable ranges, we removed the equipment and sealed up exposed areas to prepare the home for the repair phase.
