Common Causes Applicable to
Water Mitigation
Water mitigation can be necessary for a variety of situations affecting residential, commercial, or industrial properties of any size throughout the DFW area. Property owners will need professional mitigation services in the event of the following causes.
- Plumbing Failures: Burst pipe, leaking water supply line, or failed plumbing fixture: Broken water lines, leaking supply lines, and other plumbing failures can unleash a tremendous volume of water in a short amount of time.
- Appliance Malfunctions: Washing machine, water heater, dishwasher, refrigerator: Appliances that rely on plumbing to operate can cause extensive flooding when they fail. Water damage from these sources will often affect flooring, subfloors, and even rooms adjacent to the affected space, depending on the amount of water and the saturation rate.
- Severe Storms and Weather Events: Hail, heavy rain, flash flooding: DFW residents are no strangers to severe weather events, including significant rain, hail, and flash flooding. Storms can also cause water to enter through damaged roofs, windows, or foundations.
- Roof, foundation, window seals: Structural leaks occur as the roof, foundation, and other external seals begin to break down.
- HVAC and Drainage System Issues:
HVAC
systems, blocked sewer drains, and other drainage issues often account for a high volume of water damage and flooding incidents. In many cases, these system failures will cause water to collect in basements and crawlspaces, or other low-lying areas that are particularly vulnerable.
Our Water Mitigation Process
At Best Option Restoration of Denton, we use a systematic, industry-approved process to manage every water mitigation project. This way we can ensure your property is stabilized and ready for restoration quickly.
24/7 Emergency Response
When you give us a call, we’ll gather some preliminary information and send a team of skilled technicians to your property ASAP to begin the process.
Thorough Assessment and Inspection
When our certified technicians arrive at your property, we will begin with a complete inspection to identify the source of the water, confirm the damage level, and determine water category (clean, gray, black).
We’ll use high-power pumps and vacuums to remove all of the standing water. Extracting all the standing water is the first step in preventing further saturation and secondary damage.
Removal of Damaged Materials
Since porous materials like drywall, insulation, carpeting, and subflooring will absorb a lot of the water, we’ll remove the materials that have been soaked. This not only makes the drying process much faster, but it will also prevent mold growth and the spread of contamination on your property.
We’ll use high-velocity air movers and industrial-strength dehumidifiers to dry out all the walls, floors, and structural elements of the property. This is a critical step as it removes all the remaining moisture down to industry standards.
Ongoing Monitoring and Documentation
As we monitor the drying process, we’ll also use moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras to ensure the area is properly drying. We keep detailed records and track all of the actions taken, which will be documented for you and your insurance company.

Frequently Asked Questions About Water Mitigation
What is the difference between water mitigation and water restoration?
Water mitigation is the first phase of the recovery process, which focuses on the prevention of secondary damage. It can include emergency services like water extraction, structural drying, and removal of contaminated materials to stabilize the property. Water restoration is the second phase that involves repairing and rebuilding the property to its pre-loss state.
How long does the water mitigation process usually take?
The overall time it will take to complete water mitigation can vary significantly based on multiple factors, such as the volume of water, types of materials, and property size. For a typical residential property or small commercial property, it can usually take between three to five days. Industrial and larger-sized properties will often take much longer.
Can I handle water mitigation on my own?
You may be able to manage a very small, contained spill. For a major issue like a burst pipe, appliance failure, or storm damage, you need to hire certified professionals. Professional water mitigation companies have the experience and specialized equipment to know where to look and ensure the property is dried completely.
Is water mitigation covered by my insurance policy?
Water mitigation for a sudden and accidental event is often covered by a standard homeowner’s and commercial property insurance policy. Burst pipes, overflowing water heaters, and other unexpected water emergencies are often part of basic insurance plans. However, leaks caused by a slow drip over time may not be covered, and neither will damage resulting from overland flooding.
Why do you need professional water mitigation services?
Incomplete DIY drying efforts can leave behind property that is partially dried and susceptible to secondary damage and future problems. Skilled Dallas-Fort Worth water mitigation experts help safeguard your property and structure by quickly sizing up the situation with moisture-detecting equipment and then using industry-leading equipment to dry the hidden moisture from your walls and flooring before secondary damage and mold have a chance to take root. They stop mold growth, which can start in as little as 24 to 48 hours after a water loss, by using fast-drying techniques and dehumidification. Calling a professional technician early also cuts down on total water damage repair costs as it will prevent expensive secondary damage from taking place such as buckled floors, warped wood, and widespread mold contamination. Professional water mitigation companies also leave you with documentation of moisture readings and a complete report of services which make insurance claims faster and payouts easier.
