Water Damage Restoration in Highland Park, TX

Rated 5.0 based on 155 reviews

The 1920s and 1930s houses along Beverly Drive and Armstrong Parkway were built on pier-and-beam foundations with cast iron drain lines, and plenty of those originals are still in service. When one of them fails, the crawl space fills before the floors show a thing. Highland Park water damage restoration starts with one call to (972) 992-7331.

Intensa Dry is a family-owned restoration company based in Plano, and Highland Park sits inside our regular Dallas coverage. Our water damage restoration crews bring extraction, drying, and insurance documentation to the Park Cities with the care these homes deserve.

What Sets Our Highland Park Team Apart

One crew from wet to finished. Many outfits extract and leave; we dry, treat, and rebuild so you never coordinate three contractors.
Family owned, not a franchise office. The people who answer in Plano are the ones who decide how your house gets dried.
Salvage before demolition. Original oak floors and plaster walls get a real drying attempt before anyone suggests tearing them out.
Certified, not self-taught. Our technicians hold IICRC credentials and dry to the ANSI/IICRC S500 standard rather than by feel.

Crawl Space and Pier-and-Beam Drying

Water under a raised floor soaks joists, subfloor, and insulation while the rooms above still look fine. We extract from the crawl space, set air movers and low-grain dehumidifiers beneath the house, and meter the framing until it reads dry.

Plaster, Hardwood, and Content Restoration

Older Highland Park interiors hold materials that cannot be bought at a lumberyard. We dry plaster in place where readings allow, run controlled drying on original hardwood, and pack out furnishings and rugs for cleaning instead of writing them off.

Understanding Water Damage in Highland Park

Old Highland Park, the section laid out in 1907, holds the oldest housing: Tudor, Spanish Colonial, and Georgian homes from the 1920s and 1930s on pier-and-beam foundations. Crawl spaces under these houses collect water from failed supply lines, condensation, and poor grading, and the damage stays hidden until a floor cups or a musty smell drifts up through the boards.

Along Lakeside Drive and the streets that curve away from Turtle Creek and Hackberry Creek, the land slopes toward the water, so heavy North Texas storms push runoff against foundations and into low rooms. Closer to Highland Park Village and Mockingbird Lane, teardown lots have been rebuilt with large slab-on-grade homes, and the expansive clay underneath moves those slabs enough to stress copper lines and start slab leaks sooner than most owners expect.

Our Process

The Highland Park Water Damage Restoration Timeline

Walk the house

We trace the source, meter every wall and floor, and crawl under the house to check joists and subfloor.

Pull the water

Portable and truck-mounted extractors remove standing water from floors, rugs, and the crawl space on the same visit.

Set the drying plan

Air movers, dehumidifiers, and antimicrobial treatment go in, and we log readings daily until plaster, wood, and framing hit dry standard.

Return the finishes

Our reconstruction crew repairs what had to come out and matches trim, flooring, and paint to what was there.

Intensa Dry dispatches from 700 E Plano Parkway in Plano and treats Highland Park as part of our everyday Dallas coverage, from Old Highland Park and Lakeside Drive to the streets behind Highland Park Village. Many of these houses sit on raised foundations, so every inspection here includes the crawl space, not just the rooms you can walk through. If you have never looked under your house, our guide to crawl space water damage explains what to look for.

FAQ

Highland Park Water Damage FAQs

Can original hardwood floors in a 1920s Highland Park home be saved after a leak?

Often, if drying starts before the boards swell past the point of return. We run controlled drying with mats and dehumidifiers and meter the wood until it stabilizes.

How do I know if water is sitting in my crawl space?

Cupped floorboards, a musty odor near the baseboards, and sagging spots underfoot are the usual signs. A meter reading on the subfloor and a look beneath the house settle it quickly.

Is a slab leak likely in a newer Highland Park rebuild?

Newer homes on slabs sit on the same expansive clay as the rest of the Park Cities. Our leak detection service pinpoints the line before any flooring comes up.

Does homeowner insurance cover water damage from old cast iron drain lines?

Sudden failures are usually covered, while long-term corrosion and gradual seepage are often excluded. We photograph the failure point and the affected materials so your adjuster sees exactly what happened.

What happens to antiques and rugs that got wet?

We pack out salvageable contents, dry and clean them off site, and return them once the house is finished. Items that cannot be restored are inventoried for your claim.
