If your Garland home is older
Homes that have been around for several decades often still have original or partly updated plumbing, older water heaters, and drain lines that have been in use for a long time. Common calls from older homes include:
Leaks from aging supply lines and fittings inside walls
Drain backups that soak flooring in bathrooms and kitchens
Water heater failures in closets and garages
Roof leaks from older shingles after a hailstorm
Our water damage restoration process finds where the water went with moisture meters, removes what can't be saved, dries the rest, and repairs walls, floors and cabinets.
If your Garland home is newer
Newer homes have their own weak spots: washer and refrigerator supply hoses, AC condensate lines in the attic, and plumbing in exterior walls that can freeze when temperatures drop well below freezing, as they did across North Texas in February 2021.
Every home: storms
Garland residents know how serious North Texas storms can be. On December 26, 2015, an EF4 tornado crossed I-30 near the President George Bush Turnpike interchange before moving into Rowlett. Most storm calls are smaller: hail-cracked shingles, wind-lifted roofing, broken windows and limbs on the roof. Storm damage restoration starts with roof tarping and board-up to stop more water from getting in, then moves to drying and repairs.
Every home: smoke and fire
Call 911 first if there's an active fire, and don't go back inside until the property is declared safe. Afterward, fire and smoke damage restoration covers soot and smoke cleanup, odor removal, contents pack-out and cleaning, board-up and rebuilding.
Every home: mold
Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours after water damage, and North Texas humidity doesn't help. Mold remediation includes inspection, containment, removal and prevention, following Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) mold rules. Assessment and remediation are done by separate licensed parties where state law requires it.

Garland is one of the larger cities in Dallas County, and its eastern edge runs along Lake Ray Hubbard, just across the water from Rowlett and Rockwall. It has a long housing history. Many neighborhoods were built in the decades after World War II, and newer homes sit alongside them in the north and east parts of town. The age of your home shapes which problems are most likely, so we've organized this page that way. Need help right now? Call (469) 595-1661, 24/7.
