What To Do Immediately

- Open windows or run fans if it is safe, to begin air circulation
- Turn off electricity to affected areas if water is near outlets or panels
- Shut off the water source if it is safe to do so
What Not To Do
- Do not turn on ceiling fixtures if the ceiling is wet

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does water damage restoration typically take in Shallowater?
Timelines depend on the extent of the damage. A contained leak with prompt extraction might dry out in 3–5 days, while larger floods affecting multiple rooms or floors can take one to two weeks, especially if structural materials like drywall or subflooring need to be replaced.
Does homeowners insurance cover water damage in Texas?
Coverage depends on your specific policy and the cause of the damage. Sudden and accidental events like a burst pipe are often covered, while damage from long-term neglect typically is not. A restoration professional can help document the damage to support your claim, but you should always confirm coverage details with your insurance provider.
