Emergency Restoration and Remediation Services
A burst pipe at midnight, a roof torn open in a storm, or a fire that fills your home with smoke does not wait for business hours, and neither does the damage. Every hour that standing water sits or soot settles, the loss spreads, and the repair bill climbs. Specialty Restoration of Texas delivers emergency restoration and remediation services that stop that damage fast, with a 24/7 on-call team ready to respond to homes and businesses across the state. As a family-owned company established in 1968, we have spent more than 50 years getting Texas property owners back to normal after the worst happens.
From the first emergency call to the final repair, our certified technicians manage every stage of the recovery. We extract water, board up openings, contain contamination, and begin remediation work to protect your property from secondary problems such as mold, rot, and structural decay. One call puts a full-service emergency team on your side.
SRT's Emergency Services
No two emergencies look the same, which is why our emergency restoration and remediation services cover the full range of disasters Texas property owners face.
Hurricane Recovery Service
The SRT team stays prepared 24/7 for disasters of every type, including hurricanes. We have responded to major events far beyond our home base, and we know that storms like Laura, Katrina, Rita, and Wilma test every resource a region has. Hurricanes can affect entire cities and multiple states at once, and no two events are ever alike, so our crews scale the response to match the loss.

Tornado Recovery
A tornado can do extensive damage to your home or building in seconds. It can strip the shingles off or remove the entire roof, drive debris through exterior walls, and soak your sheetrock, cabinetry, and floors. Windows blow out and doors are ripped from their hinges. We stabilize the structure, begin cleanup, and work directly with your insurance company to get your life or business back in order as quickly as possible.

Our 24/7 On-Call SRT CAT (catastrophic loss) team can be on-site quickly to mitigate the damage, and when a hurricane hits any part of the Gulf Coast, our Catastrophic Team is ready to be dispatched. From the first tarp to full reconstruction, we manage the whole process.

Emergency Cleanup You Can Count On
Once the immediate threat is contained, the cleanup begins. The emergency clean-up services Texas families and businesses rely on from SRT include debris removal, water and moisture extraction, content pack-out and storage, structural drying, odor control, and full sanitization of affected areas. We document everything as we work, so the scope of the damage stays clear and nothing gets missed. Whether the source is a storm, a flood, a fire, or water damage, our crews restore your space to a safe, clean, and livable condition.
What to Do After Water Damage
While you wait for our team to arrive, these steps can limit the spread of damage:
- Ventilate wet areas with your A/C or a fan to speed drying. In winter, alternate opening windows and running the heater
- Remove standing water with sponges or a wet vac
- Stay out of rooms with sagging or damaged ceilings
- Move electronics, lamps, and small furniture out of wet areas
- Open drawers and cabinet doors to dry interiors, but do not force anything that is stuck
- Freeze valuable books, documents, and photos to prevent mildew until proper drying can be done
- Place wooden blocks or aluminum foil squares under furniture legs to prevent carpet staining
- Locate your main water cut-off
Avoid the Following if You Experience Water Damage:
- Do not operate electronics of any kind near wet flooring or carpet – especially on concrete floors
- Do not use heat to dry out a closed building – this can cause damage from mildew and expanded moisture
- Do not leave wet fabrics in place – space them apart to dry as soon as possible to prevent mold and mildew

What is the difference between restoration and remediation?
Remediation is the work that stops a problem from getting worse, such as water extraction, drying, board-up, and removing contaminated or unsafe materials. Restoration is the work that puts your property back to its pre-loss condition, including repairs, reconstruction, and finishing. Most emergencies need both, and they often happen in sequence: we remediate first to protect the structure and your health, then restore the space once it is stable and dry. Specialty Restoration of Texas handles both phases with one team, so you are not coordinating separate companies for cleanup and rebuild.
Is it safe to stay in my home after water or fire damage?
It depends on the type and extent of the damage, and you should not assume a property is safe just because it is still standing. Standing water can hide electrical hazards and contamination, fire leaves behind smoke residue and air-quality concerns, and storm damage can compromise the structure itself. If you smell gas, see sagging ceilings, or have water near electrical outlets or panels, leave and call for help. When you contact our 24/7 team, we assess the hazards on arrival and tell you honestly whether the space is safe to occupy while we work.
How much do emergency restoration services cost, and will insurance cover them?
Cost depends on the size of the loss, the type of damage, and the scope of work required, so there is no single flat rate. The good news is that most emergency restoration and remediation work is covered under standard homeowner and commercial property policies when the damage is sudden and accidental, such as a burst pipe, storm, or fire. Specialty Restoration of Texas is a preferred provider for many top insurance companies and works directly with your carrier to document the damage and settle the scope, so in most cases your out-of-pocket cost is limited to your deductible. We will walk you through what to expect before any work begins.
