Water Mitigation Services – Protect Your Property, Protect Your Claim
IICRC & TDLR Certified | Xactimate‑Compliant | Full Documentation for Insurance
When water damage strikes your home or business, every second counts — and so does every decision. Choosing the right contractor for water mitigation isn’t just about cleanup — it’s about protecting your health, your property, and your insurance claim.
At Flat‑Out Plumbing & Restoration, we are fully licensed and certified by the IICRC (Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification) and TDLR (Texas Department of Licensing & Regulation). We bring the proper knowledge, tools, and procedures to get the job done the right way — the first time.
🛑 Why Hiring the Wrong Contractor Can Ruin Your Claim
❌ Inaccurate or missing documentation
❌ Failure to dry the structure to standard
❌ Incorrect or non‑compliant use of Xactimate estimating software
❌ No moisture logs, psychrometric data, or dehumidifier calculations
❌ Missed deadlines, poor communication with your adjuster
❌ Out‑of‑pocket costs for denied or reduced claims
At Flat‑Out, we understand how insurance adjusters think, and we speak their language. Our team uses Xactimate software to create professional estimates that align with industry standards and ensure you get the maximum coverage you’re entitled to.
💧 Proper Dry‑Out Is Not Optional — It’s Critical
- Toxic mold growth within 24–48 hours
- Structural rot, swelling, and degradation
- Ongoing moisture issues behind walls and under flooring
- Voided insurance coverage due to incomplete documentation
✅ Commercial‑grade dehumidifiers and air movers
✅ Thermal imaging and moisture meters
✅ Ongoing testing and reporting throughout mitigation
✅ Moisture logs and psychrometric charts
✅ Professional containment and mold prevention procedures
📋 Why Proper Documentation Matters
- Initial scope of damage
- Ongoing moisture readings and progress reports
- Daily equipment usage logs
- Photos and videos from every phase
- Proper Xactimate itemization
- Certificate of Completion and dry‑out verification
Without this, your claim could be delayed, reduced, or denied — even if the work was done.

What people say about our services

Thomas Kirch
HoustonCalled these guys for a burst pipe emergency at 2 AM and they were at my house within an hour! The technician was professional, explained everything clearly, and had the problem fixed quickly. Fair pricing too. Will definitely use them again.

KatyOutstanding service from start to finish. They replaced my old water heater and updated some outdated fixtures. The team was punctual, clean, and respectful of my home. The quote was competitive and there were no surprise charges. Highly recommend!

James Greene
Sugar LandSolid work on fixing our kitchen sink leak and installing a new garbage disposal. The plumber arrived on time and completed the job efficiently. Only downside was the initial phone response was a bit slow, but the actual service made up for it.

CypressThese folks saved my weekend! My toilet was completely clogged and nothing I tried worked. They came out same day, fixed the issue in 30 minutes, and even gave me tips to prevent future problems. Great customer service and reasonable rates
