Across 4,892 Google reviews of Austin restoration firms — one of the largest review bases we track — leak repair and thorough inspection lead Google's extracted themes, and insurance appears fifteen times in the review text. Austin's Flash Flood Alley geography shows up too: flooding is mentioned in review after review, usually alongside praise for crews that arrived fast and documented everything.
Reviewers here reward process: crews that inspected thoroughly before quoting, explained scope, and handled the claim paperwork. The market is deep — 46 firms passed our quality gate, the most of any new city — which means the top of this list had to earn it. Ask about metered moisture checks and who coordinates with your adjuster; those two questions separate the tiers.

Pricing is driven by water category — clean supply-line water is far cheaper than sewage, because Category 3 requires removing and disposing of porous materials rather than drying them in place.
| Water category | Typical source | Per sq ft | Typical job |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cat 1 — Clean | Supply line, water heater | $3.00 – $4.00 | $1,300 – $2,800 |
| Cat 2 — Grey | Dishwasher, washing machine | $4.00 – $6.50 | $2,400 – $4,900 |
| Cat 3 — Black | Sewage, flood, groundwater | $7.00 – $7.50 | $4,200 – $9,800 |
What to do right now, before and while a crew is on the way.
Main shutoff first, then the breaker for any flooded area. Never step into standing water near an outlet.
Wide shots of each room, then close-ups with something for scale — before you move anything. Highest-leverage thing you do for your claim.
In that order. Mitigation delay is a common basis for reduced payout — most policies require you to prevent further damage.
Growth can begin within 24–48 hrs on wet drywall and carpet pad. After this window the scope — and cost — changes materially.
