United’s Water Damage Restoration Services

We aim to be on-site within a few hours for emergency calls in Katy and the surrounding areas. The faster water is extracted and drying begins, the less secondary damage you'll deal with — mold can start forming within 24 to 48 hours of standing water, so speed matters more than people realize.

Most Texas homeowners' policies cover sudden and accidental water damage — a burst pipe, a failed appliance hose, an overflowing bathtub. Gradual leaks and flood damage from rising water typically aren't covered without specific endorsements. We work with all major insurance carriers and can document the damage thoroughly for your claim.

Most residential drying takes three to five days with industrial air movers and dehumidifiers running continuously. Katy's high humidity does work against you here — drying takes longer in this climate than in drier parts of Texas. We monitor moisture levels daily with meters and won't pull equipment until readings confirm the affected materials are actually dry.

Yes, especially in Katy's humidity. Mold can begin colonizing within 24 to 48 hours of water exposure, and it loves drywall, wood subflooring, and the back of baseboards. Proper extraction and aggressive drying in the first 72 hours is the single biggest factor in preventing a mold problem from developing later.

Not always — it depends on how long the water sat, how saturated the materials got, and what kind of water it was (clean water, gray water, or contaminated). When possible, we dry materials in place. When materials are too compromised to save or there's a contamination concern, we'll explain why before any demolition starts.

Yes. We handle water extraction, structural drying, mold remediation if needed, and reconstruction — drywall, flooring, paint — so you have one company to coordinate with instead of three. That usually means faster timelines and cleaner insurance documentation.
