About This PageAustin only

This Austin page is for the first hard decisions after water gets into a building: whether the water is clean or contaminated, whether it came from inside the plumbing or outside during a flash-flood event, what can stay, and what must be removed. It is not a generic “dry it out” pitch. Austin’s creek and floodplain reality makes the source distinction unusually important, while the drying work is practical everywhere: extract water, isolate contamination, map moisture, remove unsalvageable porous material, and verify the remaining structure is dry before the walls are closed.
