What Garland homeowners say about our storm flood cleanup
A spring storm flooded our low corner room overnight. The crew showed up quickly and dried it out well. Only reason for four stars is scheduling the rebuild took a couple of extra days.

North Texas storm season brings fast, heavy rain that overwhelms streets and creeks in minutes. When water runs off hard and ponds on low Garland streets, or when Duck Creek and Rowlett Creek jump their banks, it pushes muddy storm water into garages, patios, low doors, and finished rooms. That water is Category 3, so it needs more than a mop. We extract it, remove what it ruined, disinfect, and dry the structure to a verified standard.
Why storm flooding hits Garland fast
Flash flooding here is about runoff, not a slow rise. Clay soil and paved surfaces shed rain quickly, so a stalled thunderstorm can send a wall of water down a low street in minutes. The homes most at risk sit:
- Near Duck Creek, Rowlett Creek, or a drainage channel
- At the bottom of a slope or a low crossing that ponds
- Where yard drains and gutters are clogged before the storm
Storm water carries mud, yard chemicals, and sewage, so we treat it as contaminated from the first minute and protect your family and our crew accordingly.
Our storm flood response
Once the water stops rising, ICS Restoration moves quickly:
- Extract the standing water with truck-mounted and portable units
- Remove and dispose of soaked carpet, pad, and other porous materials that cannot be saved
- Clean and disinfect every surface the storm water reached
- Set air movers and dehumidifiers and dry the structure to a verified reading
- Photograph and document the whole loss for your carrier
A fast, thorough water extraction is what stops storm water from wicking into drywall and framing and turning a flooded room into a gut job.
Storm water in your home or garage? Do not wade into contaminated water. Call and a Garland crew is on the way, 30 to 45 minutes out.
☎ Call (214) 935-3936Staying safe until we arrive
Storm flooding is dangerous long after the rain stops. If your home has taken on water:
- Stay out of moving or deep water, and never drive through a flooded crossing
- Cut power to flooded areas at the breaker only if you can do it safely and dry
- Do not touch the storm water with bare hands, and keep children and pets clear
- Photograph everything before you move it, then call us
The Ready.gov flood guide covers staying safe during a flood, and the CDC's guidance on floodwater explains why contaminated water needs professional cleanup.
Move valuables up before the season, not during the storm
If you are near a creek or a low street, keep important papers, electronics, and irreplaceable items off the floor and out of the garage during storm season. Once water is rising, there is rarely time to save them.
A summer storm sent water off the street into our garage and den before we knew it. They pumped it out, hauled off the ruined carpet, disinfected everything, and dried it right. No smell, no mold, and they handled the insurance paperwork.

FAQ
Storm & Flash Flood Cleanup questions, answered
Water in your home right now?
Do not wait for the FAQ. A local Garland crew is standing by 24/7.
(214) 935-3936 Call nowIs storm and flood water dangerous to clean up myself?
Yes. Storm and flash flood water is Category 3 black water that carries mud, chemicals, and sewage. It needs protective gear, disinfection, and proper disposal, which is why you should not wade into it or try to clean it with household supplies.
Does homeowners insurance cover storm flooding?
Wind-driven rain and roof storm damage are often covered by a homeowners policy, but rising surface water from a creek or street usually needs separate flood insurance. We document the source and the loss so your carrier can make the call, and we bill covered work directly.
How fast can you respond during a storm?
We answer 24/7 and dispatch as soon as it is safe, reaching most of Garland in 30 to 45 minutes. During a major storm we prioritize by severity, so call early to get a crew routed to you.
Can you save carpet and drywall after a flood?
Porous materials soaked by Category 3 storm water usually have to be removed and replaced for safety. We save what we safely can, dry the structure behind it, and disinfect everything before rebuild.
What areas of Garland flood the worst?
Homes near Duck Creek, Rowlett Creek, low crossings, and the bottoms of slopes take the fastest, deepest storm water. Clogged yard drains and gutters make any home worse, so clearing them before the season helps.
