Weighted wands pull water trapped deep in carpet and pad. Technicians also cut back any saturated drywall or baseboards to prevent sealing moisture inside the walls of an older Fifth Ward home.
In Fifth Ward, water extraction usually runs from about $400 to $1,800 as part of a larger restoration job, depending on how much water there is, how far it spread across the slab, and how much has to be pulled from carpet and drywall. A small clean-water leak from a supply line sits on the low end, while a bayou-flood or hurricane loss affecting several rooms sits on the high end. Extraction is normally one line item on a claim that also covers drying and repairs, and it is typically documented and billed direct to the carrier or the homeowner's flood policy.
The Fifth Ward's dense collection of historic frame homes, many built over a century ago, sits on the flat, low-lying land near Houston's bayous. This combination of aging plumbing and a high water table means even a small supply line leak or storm backup can quickly flood a slab foundation and spread through rooms. Aging supply lines and drainage infrastructure in this historic neighborhood, combined with Houston's heavy Gulf Coast storms, make leaks and backups a common cause of water intrusion in Fifth Ward homes.
