Lewisville Water Damage Restoration restores water-damaged homes and businesses in Lewisville and across Denton County: finding every wet spot, extracting the water, drying the structure to a documented goal and quoting repairs afterward. Someone picks up at any hour, and the next free crew is sent out. You approve the emergency-stage price before work starts.
Shut the water off first. Turn the main valve clockwise until it stops, or close the cold-water valve at the heater if the leak is local to it. Stay out of standing water near outlets and appliances, and cut power to the area only if the panel is dry and easy to reach.
Lewisville sits on the south side of Lewisville Lake, a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reservoir on the Elm Fork of the Trinity River in Denton County. The lake shapes the place, from the Lake Cities along the shoreline to the creeks that feed it. Most calls, though, start indoors: a line that let go in an attic, a stained ceiling under an upstairs bath, a floor that feels cold and damp.
Restoration here means three stages, in order. The emergency stage stops the damage from spreading and takes out the water. Drying then runs until the materials meet a goal that is written down, and repairs such as drywall, paint and flooring are quoted only after that goal is met.
Do not step into standing water if outlets, cords or appliances are low to the floor, and do not walk across a wet ceiling's drywall. Skip the household vacuum on anything but clean water.
The crew confirms the water is off, looks for electrical hazards and notes what fed the leak. If a pipe, heater or drain needs repair, you are told to book a licensed plumber so drying is not held up.
Moisture meters and a thermal camera trace water through drywall, under flooring and into neighboring rooms. Photos and readings are logged from the first visit.
Extractors pull water from carpet and hard floors. Soaked pad, swollen board and drywall that wicked water may be cut out with your okay so air can reach the framing.
Air movers and dehumidifiers run while the crew re-checks readings on each visit. Equipment comes out when wet materials match a dry reference reading from an unaffected part of your own house.
You are handed the moisture readings, the photographs and an itemized list of what was taken out. Rebuilding is priced separately once drying is done, so you can compare it.
Square feet wet, water category, materials and drying days drive the bill. The ranges below are typical for the Lewisville and Denton County area, and your own job may land outside them.
| Job | Typical range | What it includes |
|---|---|---|
| Typical whole-job cost, Dallas-Fort Worth | $1,200–$5,000 | Wide because jobs range from one wet room to a whole floor |
| Minor job (small pipe leak, one room, extraction and drying) | $500–$1,500 | Caught early, clean water, little material removed |
| Moderate job (several rooms, soaked carpet and walls) | $1,500–$3,500 | More equipment days and some drywall cut-out |
| Severe job (structural damage, extensive intrusion) | $3,500–$7,000+ | Long-running or contaminated water, framing involved |
| Emergency inspection and moisture assessment | Free–$200 (often credited if work goes ahead) | Meter and thermal camera walk-through |
Treat this table as a working estimate, not a price list. A technician confirms the real number on site, and anything involving rebuilding is quoted after drying.
The first call starts a dispatch, and the crew then finds the water, removes it, dries the structure and records the readings. Repairs come last and are quoted separately. Each stage is explained before it begins, so you decide what goes ahead and nothing is bundled into the emergency price.
A phone answered around the clock matters because water does not wait for business hours. When you call, you describe what you see and are asked to stop the water if you safely can. The next crew to come free is sent out, and you will not be handed an arrival window, because no honest crew can promise one in a storm or a freeze.
On arrival the crew inspects before anything is moved. That inspection sets the scope: how far the water went, what category it is and which materials may dry in place. You then approve the emergency-stage work, and the repair estimate waits until the readings say the house is dry.
A house is dry when readings in wet materials match a reference reading from an unaffected, similar material in the same home. Surfaces that feel dry can still hold moisture in the framing or under flooring, which is why a meter, not touch, decides when equipment leaves.
The crew picks a dry wall or floor in your own home as the benchmark, because wood and drywall settle at different moisture levels in different houses. Each visit adds a new set of readings. When the wet areas fall to the benchmark, the drying goal is met and the numbers go into your record.
Closing walls over damp framing is how a one-time leak turns into a mold job months later. That risk is why the repair quote waits. The structural drying page explains the equipment and the readings in more detail.
A licensed trade fixes the cause, and the restoration crew handles everything the water touched. Plumbers repair pipes and replace heaters, HVAC technicians fix air handlers and condensate lines, and roofers repair roofs. The crew can shut off water, tarp an opening and board it up until the trade arrives.
Restoration and repair are different trades, and mixing them up costs time. A crew can dry a floor all day, but a pipe that is still leaking will wet it again. If you have not called a plumber yet, do that in parallel with the first call.
A plumbing or electrical repair usually calls for a city permit and an inspection, so ask the building department how that works for your address. Keep the plumber's invoice, since it belongs in the file with the photos and readings.
Sometimes. Standard homeowners policies often cover sudden and accidental water damage but usually exclude flood and long-term leaks, and drain backup needs an added endorsement. Your insurer decides under your own policy. Texas law also bars contractors from waiving or absorbing your deductible, so expect to pay it.
The best thing you can do for a claim is document early. Take photos before anything is moved, keep damaged items until your adjuster has seen them, and call your insurer or agent soon. The crew contributes its moisture readings, photographs and an inventory of removed materials, and the whole file goes to you.
Flood from a lake or creek is a separate coverage question from a burst pipe, and so is a sewer backup. Ask your agent how your policy treats each one before you need an answer.
Basements are uncommon here, so water tends to arrive from above or below the living space. Attic heaters and air handlers drip through ceilings, and a line under the slab can wet a floor from underneath. Each pattern needs a different search for hidden moisture.
Homes near the shoreline, creek channels and low street crossings can take in surface water after heavy rain. That water is treated as contaminated from the start, which changes what is removed and how. The flood damage cleanup page covers that work.
Offices, shops and apartments add neighbors, tenants and shared walls to the job. The crew documents each unit separately so the readings make sense to a manager or an insurer. Larger commercial jobs are quoted after a walkthrough.
Lewisville Lake runs about 29,592 acres, and the Corps built the Garza-Little Elm Dam between 1948 and 1954. In 2015 the lake set a pool of record of 537.02 feet, which topped the spillway and flooded streets below the dam. Water did not enter structures there, according to reports, but the episode helped win roughly $150 million of Corps upgrades at the dam, about half for the spillway.
Newer two-storey suburbs fill the ground toward Highland Village and Flower Mound, built on slabs with water heaters and air handlers often tucked into attics. A leak up there can travel through insulation and soak a ceiling before anyone sees it. Older lake-era lots near the shoreline and the Denton County creeks have their own patterns, with low spots that collect runoff.
Lewisville is in Denton County, with a small part of the city across the line in Dallas County. Most addresses answer to the city's own building department and utility, so a call about a repair permit or a shut-off valve in the street starts there. The lake, the creeks and the suburbs around them are all one service area for a crew dispatched from Lewisville.

How a Texas mold assessment works in Lewisville: a separate licensed assessor inspects and writes the plan before any removal.
Published cost guides put a typical water damage restoration job between about $1,400 and $6,400 nationally, with a Dallas-Fort Worth range of roughly $1,200 to $5,000 reported by regional restoration companies.
In Texas, mold remediation on 25 contiguous square feet or more of surface requires a license from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, and the same license holder may not both assess and remove mold on one project.
If the water was clean, small and caught within hours on tile or vinyl, you can often handle it with towels and a fan. If it reached carpet pad, drywall or a ceiling, call, because only a meter can tell you whether hidden layers are still wet.
The crew moves furniture out of the wet area and lifts or blocks items it cannot move, so the equipment can work. Contents cleaning and storage are a separate scope that is quoted on its own.
A typical room often takes several days, though the number depends on the materials, the water category and how long the water sat. The crew re-checks readings on each visit and stops equipment only when the wet areas match the dry reference.
Someone should let the crew in and approve the emergency-stage work. If you are away, say so on the phone and arrange access, since a homeowner has to authorize any removal.
