Water Damage Restoration in Lewisville, TX

Water damage in Lewisville: first steps

1. Stop the water at the fixture or the main. In apartments, ask maintenance to shut off the unit or building supply.
2. Turn off power to wet areas if you can do it from a dry spot.
3. Photograph the damage, your belongings and the source.
4. Report it in writing to your landlord, HOA or insurer.
5. Get extraction and drying started to limit what has to be removed.

Leaks in apartments and multi-unit buildings

Lewisville has one of the larger concentrations of apartments in Denton County. In stacked units, water from an overflowing tub, a failed water heater closet or a burst line on an upper floor moves down through ceilings and walls into the units below. Fast extraction in the source unit limits how far it spreads, and every affected unit needs moisture readings — including ones that look dry.

Responsibility usually follows the structure: the owner or property manager handles the building, and each tenant’s renter’s insurance handles belongings and temporary housing. Keep copies of your notices, photos and receipts.

Burst pipes after a freeze

During Winter Storm Uri, apartments and homes across Lewisville lost water to burst attic and exterior-wall lines. When temperatures drop hard, keep heat on, open sink cabinets on exterior walls and let faucets drip. If a pipe bursts, shut off the main immediately and get water removal started before ceilings and walls soak through.

Around Lewisville Lake

Homes near the lake and the Elm Fork of the Trinity River can be affected by heavy rain and high water. Floodwater that enters a home is contaminated and follows Category 3 cleanup protocols, and flood damage requires a separate flood policy.

Cost and mold

Cost depends on the wet area, number of units or rooms, water category and drying days. Ask for an itemized estimate. For mold, Texas requires TDLR-licensed professionals on most larger projects. See our mold remediation page and nearby Flower Mound and Denton.
