Burst pipe, attic leak, or water from Buffalo Bayou in your Memorial-area home? ARC responds 24/7, dries to IICRC standards, documents the loss for your insurer, and rebuilds to the original finish.
Houston's Memorial area stretches west along Memorial Drive and Buffalo Bayou, from near the Villages out past Memorial City and toward Highway 6. It's a mix of wooded ranch-home neighborhoods from the 1950s through the 1970s, newer custom homes, townhomes, and patio homes.
Whatever the age of the house, our approach is the same: stop the source, extract fast, dry carefully, and document everything so your insurance claim and your rebuild start from accurate information.
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
Buffalo Bayou runs through the Memorial area below the Addicks and Barker reservoirs. During Hurricane Harvey in 2017, high water and reservoir releases flooded homes along the bayou for an extended period. Floodwater is Category 3.
Tall pines and oaks make Memorial one of Houston's leafiest areas, and also expose roofs to falling limbs in high wind. We provide tarping and board-up before drying.
During Winter Storm Uri in February 2021, pipes burst in attics and exterior walls across Houston. Older supply lines, valves, and water heaters are common failure points year-round.
Original ranch homes often have older plumbing and slab-on-grade construction, so water spreads across floors quickly. Many have been renovated with wood floors and custom kitchens that are worth saving.
In townhomes, a leak can involve neighboring units and shared walls. We document the source and the path the water took, which helps when more than one owner or policy is involved.
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 Memorial Villages, Tanglewood, Cinco Ranch. Not sure we cover your street? Call (832) 650-6500 or see our full service area.
Yes. We dry your unit, document the source and the path of the water, and provide records your insurer, your neighbor's insurer, or your HOA may need.
Rising floodwater is usually excluded from standard homeowners policies and covered by a separate flood policy, if you have one. We treat bayou water as Category 3 and document the loss to IICRC standards for whichever policy applies.
Often, if drying starts quickly. We extract water from the surface and from under the floor, then monitor moisture daily. If boards can't be saved, we document why before removal, and our reconstruction team can replace and refinish them.
We answer 24/7 and dispatch right away. Our average on-site response time across the Houston area is about two hours.
Yes. In bigger homes, water from one leak can show up in rooms served by different HVAC systems, and ductwork can carry moisture and odors. We map the wet areas room by room, set drying equipment where it's needed, and check ducts and air handlers near the loss. After a fire, HVAC inspection and cleaning are part of our fire and smoke service.
