Flooding, a slab leak, or water in a raised home's lower level? ARC responds 24/7 in Meyerland, dries to IICRC standards, documents the claim, and rebuilds to match.
Meyerland opened in 1955 on former rice fields in southwest Houston, just south of Bellaire, and became known for its well-built ranch homes and mid-century modern architecture. After repeated flooding, many homes have since been elevated or replaced with new, raised construction.
Meyerland residents know floods better than most. We respond quickly, separate flood damage from other water damage in our documentation, and keep a clear record of what was affected so your claim reflects this loss, not a previous one.

Meyerland lies along Brays Bayou and flooded in the 2015 Memorial Day flood, the 2016 Tax Day flood, and Hurricane Harvey in 2017. Bayou floodwater is Category 3 and requires full protective protocols.
Clay soil movement stresses pipes under older slabs. Warm floors, unexplained dampness, or a rising water bill can point to a hidden leak.
Intense rain can overwhelm storm drains before the bayou rises, sending water toward low entries, garages, and older homes on grade.
Original slab-on-grade ranch and mid-century homes often have terrazzo, wood, or stone floors, large glass walls, and built-ins that are hard to replace. We test before removing anything and rebuild to match when replacement is needed.
Elevated and new raised homes keep living areas above flood levels, but they bring their own concerns: water in garages or lower storage levels, long plumbing runs, and second-floor bathrooms over finished ceilings.
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 Bellaire, West U, Southside Place, Upper Kirby. Not sure we cover your street? Call (832) 650-6500 or see our full service area.
Yes, mostly from the inside. Supply lines, water heaters, upstairs bathrooms, and HVAC systems can leak in any home. Lower levels and garages can also take on water in heavy rain. We dry and document those losses the same way.
We document the source, the water category, and the affected areas with photos and moisture maps. When both happen at once, that record helps your carrier sort flood-policy items from homeowners-policy items.
Terrazzo usually survives clean-water exposure well; the concern is the slab beneath and nearby walls. Wood floors can sometimes be dried in place if we start quickly. We measure and recommend based on readings.
Yes. If moisture from an earlier loss left mold behind walls or under flooring, we contain the area, remove affected materials, treat surfaces, and verify with post-remediation testing to IICRC S520 standards.
Yes. After drying, our reconstruction team handles drywall, flooring, cabinetry, millwork, and paint, matched to pre-loss condition, so you have one company from the first call to the final walk-through.
