Question 1

How fast does S.W.A.T. Restoration respond to a flooded house in Aledo?

Accepted Answer

S.W.A.T. Restoration targets under 60 minutes from dispatch to on-site arrival across Aledo, Fort Worth, Weatherford, Willow Park, Hudson Oaks, Benbrook, and White Settlement. The Aledo hub on FM 1187 is positioned for fast coverage across Parker and Tarrant counties. When you call, a live dispatcher confirms the crew is rolling and gives you a realistic ETA — not a range.

Question 2

Will my homeowner's insurance cover emergency water extraction?

Accepted Answer

Most standard homeowner policies in Texas cover sudden and accidental water damage — burst pipes, appliance failures, and roof leaks are common covered causes. Flood damage from rising groundwater typically requires a separate NFIP or private flood policy. S.W.A.T. Restoration documents the loss from the first hour: moisture readings, water classification (Category 1, 2, or 3 per IICRC S500), and photo evidence — all in the format your adjuster expects. The crew can bill your carrier directly for covered losses.

Question 3

How long does it take to dry a water-damaged house?

Accepted Answer

Most residential structures dry within 3 to 5 days under active drying conditions — Phoenix dehumidifiers running continuously, Dri-Eaz air movers moving air across wet surfaces, and daily moisture readings confirming progress. Texas humidity rebounds quickly after extraction; stopping the equipment early leaves moisture in wall cavities and subfloor assemblies that feeds mold within 24 to 48 hours. S.W.A.T. Restoration monitors moisture content daily and removes equipment only when readings reach the IICRC S500 dry standard for that material and climate zone.

Question 4

What is the difference between Category 1, 2, and 3 water damage?

Accepted Answer

The IICRC S500 standard classifies water by contamination level. Category 1 is clean water from a broken supply line or overflowing sink — lowest contamination risk. Category 2 (grey water) comes from appliance overflows, dishwashers, or HVAC condensate — contains biological or chemical contaminants. Category 3 (black water) includes sewage backup, floodwater from outside, and any water that has sat long enough to grow microbial contamination — requires full biohazard protocols. S.W.A.T. Restoration classifies the water on arrival and adjusts the extraction, drying, and documentation protocol accordingly.

Question 5

What should I do while waiting for the water extraction crew to arrive?

Accepted Answer

If the source is an active leak, shut off the main water supply valve — for most Aledo and Fort Worth homes it is near the meter at the street or in a garage utility chase. Do not use electrical outlets, switches, or appliances in flooded areas. Move valuables, documents, and electronics to higher ground if it is safe to do so. Avoid walking through sewage or heavily contaminated water without protective gear. The dispatcher will walk you through any immediate steps when you call. Do not run fans into wet walls — that can spread contamination and slow the drying process; let the trained crew set the drying system.
