Residential Water Damage Restoration in Houston, TX

From Soaked Floors to Dry, Safe Spaces — We’ve Got You Covered

Dealing with water damage in your Northwest Houston home can be incredibly stressful, especially with how unpredictable things can get in this area. Between poor drainage from heavy rains, clay-heavy soil that doesn't absorb water well, and rapid development that’s replaced natural ground with concrete, it’s no surprise that homes in places like Cypress, Tomball, and Jersey Village are often hit hard when water gets where it shouldn’t be.

Parts of Northwest Houston are also seeing more land sinking over time due to groundwater use—something that can make flooding worse and damage more severe. Whether you’re in an older home with aging plumbing or a newer build in Copperfield, Spring, or The Woodlands, water issues can pop up fast and do a lot of damage before you even know what’s happening.

At Professional Services by Houston, we’re here to help homeowners across Northwest Houston bounce back quickly. Our team knows the area well, and we understand how to handle everything from foundation-level water to ceiling leaks and beyond. We use advanced tools and proven techniques to dry, clean, and fully restore your space.

What To Do When You Discover Stagnant Water in Your Home

Finding stagnant water inside your home can be alarming, and knowing the right steps to take can make all the difference in minimizing damage and keeping your family safe. Here are some important tips to follow if you encounter standing water:

Prioritize Safety First - Avoid walking through stagnant water if possible, as it may contain harmful contaminants or hide electrical hazards. Turn off electricity to affected areas only if it’s safe to do so, and never use electrical appliances near standing water.
Stop the Source if You Can - If the water is coming from a burst pipe or leak, try to shut off the main water supply to prevent more water from entering your home. However, do not attempt major repairs yourself—this is a job for licensed professionals.
Avoid Skin Contact with Stagnant Water - Stagnant water can become a breeding ground for bacteria, mold, and other harmful pathogens. Minimize exposure by keeping children and pets away and wearing protective gloves and boots if you must enter the area.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly should I respond after finding stagnant water in my home?
Time is critical. Stagnant water can lead to structural damage and mold growth within 24 to 48 hours. Acting quickly by calling a professional restoration team can minimize damage, reduce health risks, and speed up the recovery process.

Can I clean up water damage myself?
For small spills, you might be able to handle cleanup on your own. But when it comes to stagnant water or significant flooding, professional help is highly recommended. Improper drying or incomplete cleanup can lead to mold, hidden damage, and long-term health risks.

What should I do if my basement or crawl space floods?
Stay out of the flooded area to avoid electrical shock or exposure to contaminated water. Shut off power to the affected area if it’s safe, remove valuables if you can, and contact a restoration company immediately. We have the tools and training to handle water safely and thoroughly.

How long does water damage restoration take?
Most projects take 3 to 7 days depending on the extent of the damage. Drying, dehumidifying, cleaning, and restoring affected areas is a detailed process that requires proper equipment and monitoring to ensure complete recovery.

Does homeowners' insurance cover water damage restoration?
It depends on the cause. Sudden events like pipe bursts are typically covered, while damage from neglected maintenance or slow leaks might not be. It’s a good idea to review your policy and document all damage for claims purposes.
