For a slab home on the south side of the metroplex, our working estimates run about $1,200 to $4,000 for clean-water mitigation in one room or small area, $2,500 to $6,500 for gray water, and $7 to $15 per square foot for black water. These are estimates, confirmed on site before work starts.

A slab leak is a pressurized water line leaking in or under a concrete foundation. Common signs are a warm spot on the floor, a water meter that keeps moving with everything off, a higher bill and damp flooring. A licensed plumber fixes the pipe, and a restoration crew dries what the water reached.

Before a hard freeze, insulate exposed pipes, let faucets drip and find your main shut-off. If a pipe bursts, close the main valve, stay away from wet outlets and call a plumber for the pipe. Many frozen pipes leak only as they thaw, so check ceilings and walls after temperatures rise.

In many Texas slab homes the water heater and AC air handler sit in the attic, so a failing tank or a clogged condensate line soaks insulation and then the ceiling below. Shut off the heater's water supply or the AC, stay out of a sagging ceiling, and call a plumber or A/C contractor, then call for drying.

After hail damages a roof, deal with the water first: protect people, catch or tarp what you safely can, photograph every wet surface, and have the attic insulation and ceiling dried. A roofer repairs the roof; a restoration crew dries the inside. Your insurer decides what the policy covers, so call early.

A standard Texas homeowners policy often covers sudden and accidental water damage, such as a burst pipe, but usually not long-term leaks, flood or sewer and drain backup unless you added an endorsement. Coverage is decided by your own policy and your insurer, so read the wording, photograph everything and call your agent early.

In Texas, mold assessment and mold remediation are licensed by TDLR and must be done by two different license holders on the same project. A license is not required for under 25 contiguous square feet. The EPA advises drying within 24 to 48 hours, but that is a guideline, and mold can grow anyway.

Creek and flash flood water is Category 3 (black) water, treated as contaminated, and it is not covered by a standard homeowners policy. Flood insurance is a separate policy, and NFIP policies generally take 30 days to start. Near Mansfield, check your address on the FEMA flood map and keep out of moving water.
