Storm damage, a burst pipe, or water from heavy rain near the bay? ARC responds 24/7 in Clear Lake and Taylor Lake Village with tarping, IICRC drying, documentation, and rebuilds.
Clear Lake grew up around NASA's Johnson Space Center in the 1960s and was later annexed by Houston. Taylor Lake Village is a small, separate city on the water nearby. Homes range from established 1960s and 1970s houses on wooded lots to waterfront properties and newer custom builds.
Living close to Galveston Bay brings a different mix of risks than the inner city: storm surge, wind-driven rain, and humid salt air. We handle both the emergency side, tarping and extraction, and the documented drying and repairs that follow.
Extraction and monitored drying to IICRC S500. Water damage restoration
Contained removal and testing to IICRC S520. Mold remediation
Board-up, soot and odor removal, contents cleaning. Fire & smoke restoration
Tarping, board-up, and full repairs. Storm damage restoration
Hurricane Ike in 2008 pushed surge into low-lying areas around Clear Lake, and Harvey in 2017 brought heavy flooding along Clear Creek. Surge and floodwater are Category 3 and need full protective protocols.
Tropical storms force water through windows, doors, and roof edges even where the roof itself looks intact. Hidden wet insulation and drywall are common after a storm.
Near the bay, humidity stays high most of the year, so wet materials can start growing mold within a day or two. Fast drying matters even more here.
Older homes here often have original slab plumbing, wood paneling, and built-ins that are worth saving. We test before removing anything and dry in place wherever the readings allow.
Waterfront and elevated homes bring their own details: exposed framing below living space, outdoor kitchens, and docks that are typically outside the scope of interior work. We focus on the house itself and document clearly what was damaged and how.
IICRC documentation from day one, Xactimate estimates, and direct billing with all major carriers, so you pay only your deductible. How the claim process works
If it's unsafe, leave and call 911. Otherwise shut off the water, move art and rugs away from wet areas, and leave damaged materials in place for documentation.
We extract from the surface and below, then dry with monitored setups so site-finished wood and stone installations have the best chance of being saved.
Cabinetry, trim, and built-ins are checked with moisture readings before anything is removed. Where removal is needed, we document it first.
Containment, floor protection along work paths, and one point of contact from the first call through the final walk-through.
Our reconstruction team handles drywall, flooring, cabinetry, millwork, and paint, installed to match pre-loss condition.
Nearby, we also serve Friendswood, Pearland. Not sure we cover your street? Call (832) 650-6500 or see our full service area.
Yes. Both are in our Greater Houston service area. Taylor Lake Village is its own small city, but that doesn't change how we respond: 24/7 dispatch and the same documentation for your carrier.
Water that enters through wind damage to the roof or windows is usually handled under a homeowners or windstorm policy, while rising water and storm surge are usually flood-policy claims. Our documentation separates the two as clearly as possible; your agent can confirm your coverage.
We send crews as soon as conditions are safe to work. Tarping and board-up stop more water from getting in and protect the house until permanent repairs can be made.
Not necessarily, but hidden moisture or poorly dried materials from a past loss can cause problems later. If you notice musty odors or staining, we can inspect, test moisture, and remediate to IICRC S520 standards if mold is present.
Yes. Surge and bay water are treated as Category 3, and salt left behind in drywall, insulation, and wood keeps attracting moisture. We remove affected porous materials, clean and treat what stays, and confirm with moisture readings before repairs start.
