Water damage causes various types of property damage including standing water, contamination, mold growth, and rot.
The first stage of the water damage restoration process is water removal. We’ll use advanced restoration equipment to extract the water, and fans and dehumidifiers to promote drying. We’ll also treat any contamination and actively work to prevent mold growth. After the structure is dried, repairs may be necessary to return your property back to normal.
The water damage restoration process works by minimizing the damage to your property by removing the water and moisture before permanent damage can occur. Proper drying can limit warping or bowing and prevent mold growth.
The total cost of water damage will be determined based on the scope of the damage, the size of the area affected, and the amount of repairs necessary to restore your property. We are happy to provide a free estimate.
Water and flood damage can come from any water source – a burst pipe, plumbing leak, malfunctioning appliance, heavy rains, water intrusion, and more. We can mitigate damage from any water source.
Hidden water damage doesn’t stay hidden for long, but the sooner you spot it the better. A slow leak behind a wall or in a floor or ceiling will begin to show wet patches, soft spots, water stains, and the smell of mildew. Check areas where plumbing is present – under sinks, in laundry rooms, and bathrooms, regularly for signs of water damage.
As soon as you discover water damage, shut off the water supply as soon as possible as long as it is safe to do so. Then call Restoration 1 of Denton County. We’re available 24/7 and will send a team out right away to assess the damage and begin the water damage restoration process.

To start the claims process, contact your insurance provider to provide details of your loss and to determine if it is a covered loss.

Mold and mildew are both a type of fungus, but mold grows on organic materials and mildew grows on hard, flat surfaces where moisture is present. Mildew is common and can be cleaned easily from shower walls or windowsills; items contaminated with mold are porous and must be removed to eliminate the mold.
Mold can take on many visible characteristics but is usually green, grey, or black in color. It will commonly have a raised, fuzzy appearance.
The total cost of mold remediation will vary based on numerous factors including the size of the area impacted and the materials affected. We will assess the damage and provide a thorough estimate before beginning work.
Most growth can begin as soon as 24-48 hours after water damage or the introduction of a water source.
It may be possible to remove a small area of mold yourself but always err on the side of caution. Remember that mold growth does not happen without a moisture source, so if you have mold, it’s usually indicative of a larger problem. If you only remove the mold, it’s likely to return until the problem is properly remediated.
Large areas of mold removal should always be handled by a professional.
Proper mold removal can take a few days to a few weeks. It will depend on the extent of the mold growth and existing moisture and humidity conditions. Mold remediation should always include moisture mitigation to ensure the mold does not return.
Mold remediation is a process that involves identifying and assessing the cause of the mold growth, containing the area to prevent mold spores from spreading to other areas of your property, and safely removing contaminated materials from your property and airborne mold spores from the air until normal levels are restored.
Mold growth can be detected by a visual inspection, moisture readings, and air quality sampling.
Mold can be hazardous or toxic and can impact healthy individuals as well as those with more serious health concerns. Some people are more sensitive to mold allergens, and symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, asthma, skin irritation, and respiratory illness are common.
