Complete Water, Fire, Mold & Storm Damage Solutions Available 24/7

Our North Richland Hills restoration team handles all types of property damage with proven methods and industry-leading equipment. Whether you're facing a burst pipe at midnight or discovering smoke damage after a kitchen fire, we're ready to help.

Water Damage Extraction & Structural Dry-Out

Water damage restoration requires immediate action to prevent structural damage and mold growth. We extract standing water using high-powered pumps, then deploy commercial dehumidifiers and air movers strategically based on psychrometric calculations, monitoring moisture levels until readings return to normal. Common sources we handle include burst pipes, washing machine overflows, water heater failures, and flooding from Walker Branch or Big Fossil Creek during severe weather.

Fire & Smoke Cleanup and Odor Removal

Fire damage cleanup extends beyond visible soot and char—smoke residue contains acids that continue damaging surfaces long after flames are extinguished. We use dry sponges for light soot, specialized detergents for heavy deposits, and fogging with odor-counteracting compounds to neutralize persistent smoke smells. Our technicians assess which contents can be cleaned on-site and which require controlled off-site restoration.

Mold Remediation

Mold remediation follows IICRC S520 standards and the Texas Mold Assessment and Remediation Rules. We establish negative air pressure containment using HEPA-filtered air scrubbers, remove affected materials, and treat remaining surfaces with EPA-registered antimicrobials. When a project meets the state licensing threshold, an independent licensed Mold Assessment Consultant develops the remediation protocol and performs clearance testing when the work is complete. Clearance compares samples from the remediated area against outdoor baseline samples, and the area passes when indoor results are comparable to or better than that baseline. We don't clear our own work — Texas law requires that independent verification.

Storm, Sewage, and Specialty Cleanup

Storm damage often combines multiple loss types—roof leaks, broken windows, and wind-driven rain penetration. Sewage backups require Category 3 water protocols with enhanced PPE, antimicrobial treatments, and affected material removal rather than attempted salvage. We document these losses thoroughly, including contamination levels and response times, since that record is what your adjuster works from.

Why Fast Action Matters in NRH's Unique Climate and Homes

North Texas humidity and local construction patterns create specific risks that make rapid response critical for limiting damage scope and costs.

Many North Richland Hills homes built between the 1970s and 1990s have water heaters in the attic. When a tank fails up there, water runs down through ceilings, walls, and insulation before anyone notices — and by then the damage is already extensive. Slab leaks are the same problem underground: the first sign is often an unexplained water bill or a warm spot on the floor, long after the water has been running. Spring hail adds a third path, cracking shingles in ways that let water into the attic for weeks before an interior stain appears.

Mold can begin colonizing wet materials within 24 to 48 hours, and North Texas humidity makes that window shorter than most homeowners expect. Professional extraction and dehumidification remove moisture fast enough to prevent growth, while household fans alone rarely achieve the air changes and moisture removal needed.

Our Certified Process From Free Inspection to Full Reconstruction

We guide you through restoration with clear communication and documented progress at each phase.

IICRC-Compliant Assessment & Moisture Detection

Our initial evaluation maps moisture using infrared cameras and penetrating moisture meters, then we photograph all affected areas and create detailed estimates. This documentation establishes baseline conditions for insurance adjusters and gives you a clear roadmap of necessary work.

Proper Containment, Dry-Out, and Antimicrobial Treatment

We seal affected areas with polyethylene barriers and maintain negative air pressure to prevent contaminant spread. Equipment placement follows psychrometric principles, and we track moisture levels until affected materials reach a documented dry standard, consistent with IICRC S500.

Repairs, Reconstruction, and Final Walkthrough

Our reconstruction team handles all finish work from drywall to paint, with one project manager guiding you from emergency response through final completion. We walk you through completed repairs and address any concerns before you sign off.

Insurance Documentation and Billing

We document every step of the restoration process for your claim. Carriers require photo evidence of damage before mitigation, moisture readings confirming dry-down, and itemized scopes separating emergency services from reconstruction — we provide all of it in adjuster-friendly formats and communicate directly with your adjuster throughout the project. We work with all insurance carriers and submit billing directly to your carrier on covered claims. We never inflate estimates or suggest submitting non-covered items. Coverage decisions are made by your carrier under your policy; our role is to make sure those decisions are based on complete and accurate documentation.

Why Homeowners Choose Restoration 1

IICRC-Certified Technicians & Proven Standards

Every job we run is staffed by IICRC-certified technicians. Across our team we hold certifications in Water Damage Restoration (WRT), Applied Structural Drying (ASD), Fire and Smoke Restoration (FSRT), and Applied Microbial Remediation (AMRT), and our owner, Paul Lewis, holds all four along with a Texas Mold Remediation Contractor license (MRC #2263) issued by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. Certification requires passing comprehensive exams and completing continuing education to maintain. Our team trains weekly, and every employee is background-checked. We carry general liability, workers' compensation, and pollution liability coverage, with certificates available on request.

Local Team With North Richland Hills Expertise

We've served NRH properties for years and understand how local soil conditions affect foundation movement, how homes in different neighborhoods are constructed, and which city inspectors handle permit reviews.

End-to-End Service From Emergency to Rebuild

One team handles your entire restoration—no handoffs between emergency crews and reconstruction contractors. This continuity prevents miscommunication and ensures consistent quality.

Clear Documentation & Transparent Costs

We document thoroughly, itemize costs clearly, and keep you informed as your claim moves. If the scope changes once work is underway — which happens when hidden damage turns up behind walls or under flooring — we document it and review it with you before proceeding.
