A burst pipe in a ranch home or a leak in a brand-new build? ARC responds 24/7 in Spring Branch, dries to IICRC standards, documents the claim, and rebuilds to match.
Spring Branch, settled by German farmers in the 1800s, grew into a post-war suburb of ranch homes on large lots and was later annexed by Houston. It sits just north of the Memorial Villages, and in recent years many original homes have been replaced with large new houses and townhomes.
That mix means we see everything from 1950s cast-iron drains to brand-new plumbing in the same week. Whatever the age of the home, we find the water, dry it, and document it for your carrier.

Spring Branch drains through local creeks and gullies toward Buffalo Bayou, and heavy rain can overwhelm streets and low-lying lots. Outside water is treated as contaminated.
Cast-iron and clay drain lines in older homes can crack or back up, leading to sewage losses that require Category 3 protocols.
In new three-story homes and townhomes, upper-floor bathrooms and laundry rooms can send water through several finished ceilings.
Older ranch homes often have original slab plumbing, wood floors under carpet, and decades of remodels layered together. We test before tearing anything out, because some of those materials can be dried and saved.
New builds and townhomes have more finished space, often with three floors, upstairs laundry rooms, and tall ceilings. A single leak can travel through several levels, so we trace it carefully and open walls only where needed.
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.

Yes. We work on everything from original ranch homes to new three-story townhomes. Townhome losses can involve a neighbor or an HOA, so we document the source and every affected area clearly.
Sewage is Category 3 water and can carry bacteria. Keep people and pets away from it. We remove contaminated materials, clean and disinfect, and dry the structure using protective protocols. Many policies need a water-backup endorsement to cover it, so check with your agent.
Often, yes. Original hardwood in older homes can sometimes be dried in place if we start quickly. We pull wet carpet and pad, then measure the wood to see whether drying will work.
It depends on the cause and the policies involved. We document where the water came from and what it damaged, which gives both owners' carriers what they need to sort it out.
