A burst pipe in a post-war cottage, a leak in a new build, or a tree through the roof? ARC responds 24/7 in Garden Oaks and Oak Forest, close to our Houston office.
Garden Oaks was laid out in 1937 as a garden suburb north of the Heights, with large lots and tall trees. Oak Forest followed right after World War II and became one of Houston's largest residential developments of its time. Today both areas mix original cottages and ranch homes with renovations and new, larger houses.
Our office at 1401 Greengrass Dr, Unit O42, is nearby, so these neighborhoods are close to home for us. We respond 24/7, dry to IICRC standards, and keep the documentation your insurance carrier will ask for.
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
Tall pines and oaks are part of the appeal, but they can come down in tropical storms like Beryl in 2024. We tarp, board up, and dry out the interior quickly.
Open ditches and older drainage in parts of the area can back up in intense rain, sending water toward low homes and garages.
Original galvanized and cast-iron lines in post-war homes can corrode and fail, causing slow leaks or sudden bursts.
Original homes here were often built quickly after the war, with simple framing, wood floors, and plumbing that may have been patched over the decades. Many have been expanded, so new and old materials sit side by side.
Larger new homes often have stone or wood floors, custom cabinetry, and second-floor bathrooms. We protect finishes during the work and rebuild to match when anything has to come out.
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.

In many cases, yes. We measure moisture in walls, floors, and cabinets, then dry in place where the readings allow and remove only what can't be saved.
Safety first: stay out of damaged rooms. We tarp the roof, board up openings, and extract water so the interior is protected. If the tree needs removal, we'll coordinate timing with the tree service.
Yes. Water often collects where an addition joins the original house. We check both sides of the transition and rebuild so the repair matches each part of the home.
