When a storm blows through Dallas, the damage rarely announces itself politely. A limb that looked solid at noon is in your living room by 3 a.m. A roof that survived last year’s hail gives way during a spring downpour. Storm Damage Restoration in Dallas typically costs between $1,500 and $6,000 for moderate residential damage and can be started the same day you call. Marsh Water Damage Dallas has been handling exactly this since 2005, and a live person answers our phones 24/7. If you’re standing in a soaked living room in Oak Lawn or watching water pool in a Grapevine basement, call (432) 529-4284 and we’ll have a named, photo-badged technician at your door, usually within 45 to 90 minutes.
Most Dallas homeowners we work with are dealing with two problems at once: the water itself and the question of who’s going to show up to fix it. We answer both. Every Marsh technician is background-checked, identity-verified, and sent to you by name and photo before they arrive. They show a photo ID badge at the door. Every time. And every job gets a written price before any work starts, plus a 365-Day Done Right Promise printed on the work order.

Flood Cleanup
Flood cleanup is the emergency work of removing standing water, saturated materials, and debris after water has entered your home, and in Dallas it typically runs $1,000 to $3,500 depending on square footage and how long the water has been sitting. When a storm drain backs up in Balch Springs or a creek overflows near Red Oak, the water isn’t clean: it carries silt, bacteria, and whatever it picked up on the way. We extract it with truck-mounted and portable units, including B-Air and XPOWER extraction tools, then start drying immediately. The sooner water leaves, the less gets into drywall, flooring, and framing.
Water Extraction and Containment
We remove standing water before setting drying equipment, not after. In Dallas’s hard clay soils, storm water can sit against a foundation for days, so we also check for water that’s entering from below the slab.
Emergency-Only Callouts
Flood cleanup is the one part of storm work where speed genuinely changes the outcome. Our dispatch runs 24 hours a day, and a live person answers the phone at 3 a.m. the same way they would at 3 p.m.
Restoration work we handle
Flooded House
A flooded house means water has moved beyond one room and affected multiple areas, often several inches deep, and Dallas repair costs typically land between $3,000 and $12,000 because flooring, baseboards, drywall, and sometimes cabinetry all need attention. We see this most often in North Dallas and Duncanville when storm sewers overload during heavy rainfall. The first 24 hours determine what can be dried and what must be removed. Our psychrometric readings (measuring the moisture in the air) tell us when the structure is genuinely dry, not just dry on the surface.
Multi-Room Drying Plans
A flooded house isn’t a single-room job bolted together. We map airflow and moisture levels across every affected room, then place Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers and Phoenix air movers so air doesn’t sit dead in corners.
Structural Assessment
Water in a home finds the lowest point. In a flooded house, that’s often the subfloor, wall cavities, and under cabinets. We inspect and document every affected area with photos so you know what we found and why.
Flood Restoration
Flood restoration is the full process of returning a flooded home to its pre-storm condition, from initial moisture mapping through final repairs, and in Dallas it generally runs $4,000 to $15,000 for a whole-home event. It’s not the same as flood cleanup. Cleanup gets the water out; restoration puts walls, floors, and structure back together. We handle it all under one team, with IICRC and RIA credentialed technicians running the drying and repair phases, so you’re not coordinating between a mitigation crew and a reconstruction company on a two-week waitlist.
Demolition With Written Scope
We write down exactly what we’ll remove, what we’ll dry, and what we’ll replace before any saw comes out. You sign it. We follow it. If something changes, you get a revised written price before the work changes too.
365-Day Done Right Promise
If the repair is not right within a year, Marsh makes it right, and a free second visit is included automatically. It’s printed on the work order, with dates, so there’s no arguing about eligibility later.
Basement Flood Cleanup
Basement flood cleanup is the specific job of removing water from a below-grade space and drying the concrete, framing, and contents affected, and in Dallas this work typically costs $1,500 to $5,000 depending on depth and finish level. Basements in Texas are less common than up north, but they exist in older Oak Lawn homes and in newer builds around DeSoto and Seagoville. The water often seeps in through cove joints or hydrostatic pressure rather than stormwater pouring in from a window, and that changes how we approach the dry-out.
Below-Grade Drying Challenges
Concrete holds moisture and releases it slowly. We place desiccant dehumidifiers from Injectidry in basements where refrigerant units struggle, and we monitor moisture levels in the slab itself, not just in the air.
Sump and Drainage Checks
When a Dallas basement floods, the immediate problem is the water, but the root cause is often a failed sump pump or clogged French drain. We inspect both so the same storm doesn’t send you through the same cleanup in a month.
Storm Damage Contractors
Storm damage contractors are the coordinated crew that handles the demolition, drying, tarping, and rebuilding after a storm, and for a typical Dallas repair, plan to spend $2,500 to $8,000 before insurance involvement is settled. We act as your single point of contact from the night of the storm through the final paint touch-up. That means one crew shows up for water extraction, the same crew manages drying, and that crew either performs or directly oversees the rebuild, instead of handing you to a subcontractor you’ve never met.
One Company, One Contract
A lot of Dallas storm jobs get split between a mitigation company and a builder, with different invoices, different schedules, and finger-pointing in the middle. We contract the whole job under Marsh and take responsibility for the outcome under the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Direct Insurance Coordination
We photograph and document everything, then communicate directly with your adjuster. You shouldn’t be the one translating technical restoration notes into insurance language. We do that work as part of the job.
Storm Damage Cleanup
Storm damage cleanup covers the physical removal of storm debris, compromised materials, and water-damaged contents from a home, and in Dallas this typically runs $800 to $2,500 depending on the size of the affected area. It’s the first phase of restoration and usually the part homeowners need within hours, not days. A fallen tree limb through a Sunnyvale roof means wet drywall, insulation, and carpet that need to come out before the structure can dry. We handle the full teardown, bag and haul everything, and document what was removed for insurance purposes.
Contents Sorting and Documentation
Storm-soaked furniture, boxes, and personal items sit in piles until someone decides what gets saved. We photograph every item, separate salvageable from non-salvageable, and itemize it for your claim.
Tarping and Emergency Board-Up
If your roof or window is open to the sky, drying can’t start until the opening is sealed. We tarp and board up on the same visit so the next rain doesn’t add a second layer of damage to the first.
Brands We Service
We run equipment from Dri-Eaz and Phoenix on most Dallas storm jobs because their dehumidifiers and air movers are the standard in commercial restoration, and they hold up to the heat and humidity that follow a Texas thunderstorm. We’ve used B-Air and Injectidry gear on everything from 200-square-foot laundry room floods to full-home storm losses in Grand Prairie.
Our technicians hold IICRC and RIA credentials, which means they’re trained to run this equipment properly, not just plug it in and walk away. Whether your home needs a single crawlspace extraction or a full multi-level dry-out after a storm in Irving, equipment matters as much as the hands operating it. See our Storm Damage Restoration in Irving page for what we see on the west side of the metroplex, and Storm Damage Restoration in Grand Prairie covers our work farther south.

AfterSigns You Need a Pro Right Now
- Water is touching outlets or electrical panels. This is the one that sends people to the emergency room. Cut power to the affected area at the breaker and call us from outside or upstairs. We’ll assess the electrical risk before any water work starts.
- You smell something musty or sour within 48 hours of a storm. That odor is usually the first sign of microbial growth, and in Dallas’s warm, humid air after a storm, it moves fast. Mold can establish itself in 24 to 72 hours on wet drywall. Drying needs to start now.
- Ceilings are sagging or paint is bubbling in rooms below a roof leak. Water is pooling above the drywall, and at some point, gravity wins. That water is adding weight and weakening the sheetrock. A sagging ceiling is a collapse waiting to happen.
- Floors are squishing, buckling, or showing darkening edges. Water has gotten under the flooring material and into the substrate. Laminate and engineered wood warp beyond repair quickly; solid hardwood can sometimes be saved with fast, aggressive drying.
- You see water beading on concrete walls or seeping through cove joints. This means hydrostatic pressure is pushing groundwater through the slab or foundation wall. Cleaning the water off the surface without addressing the pressure means the water comes back within hours.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Call and get a live person, any hour. You call (432) 529-4284 and a human answers. Not a voicemail, not an answering service that takes a message. We get your address, the nature of the damage, and we dispatch a Threshold Verified technician by name and photo.
- 2
On-site assessment with written scope. The technician walks the property, maps the moisture levels using psychrometric readings, and identifies every affected area. Before any work begins, you receive a written description of what we found, what we recommend, and exactly what it costs.
- 3
Water extraction and demolition. We remove standing water with truck-mounted and portable extraction units, then remove only the materials that cannot be saved. We photograph everything, and we only tear out what the written scope says we’ll tear out.
- 4
Drying and monitoring. We set Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers, Phoenix air movers, and Injectidry systems where needed, then monitor moisture daily until readings confirm the structure is genuinely dry. We don’t declare victory when the surface feels dry to the touch.
- 5
Repair, rebuild, and 365-Day Done Right Promise. We rebuild what was removed, using the same in-house team or directly supervised crews, and we test the results. Your work order includes the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If anything isn’t right within a year, we return free and make it right.
How Much Does Storm Damage Restoration Cost in Dallas?
You’ll see a wide range of prices quoted for storm damage work in Dallas, and most of that range comes from how big the affected area is and how long the water sat before extraction began. A small, contained leak in a North Dallas bathroom might run $1,200 to $2,500. A storm-damaged roof that left water in multiple rooms across a story or two typically lands between $3,500 and $8,000. A whole-home flood after a major storm event in DeSoto or Seagoville can reach $12,000 to $20,000 when full reconstruction is needed.
What moves the price, in order: square footage affected, type of flooring and wall materials, how saturated the structure is, whether demolition is needed, and whether content cleaning is included. The biggest factor that’s actually within your control is response time. Water that’s extracted and dried within the first few hours causes far less secondary damage than water that sits overnight or over a weekend.
A free, no-obligation estimate from Marsh includes the full written scope, the line-item price, and the same 365-Day Done Right Promise that’s on every job we do. We don’t give ballpark numbers over the phone and then surprise you with a bigger invoice after demo. The price you sign is the price you pay, unless you approve a written change first.

Frequently Asked Questions About Storm Damage Restoration in Dallas
Storm damage restoration is the full process of cleaning up, drying out, and repairing a home after a storm has caused water intrusion, structural damage, or both. It includes emergency water extraction, demolition of unsalvageable materials, structural drying, and rebuilding. The goal is to return the home to its pre-storm condition, not just make it look dry on the surface. Marsh Water Damage Dallas handles every phase with one in-house team.
Most moderate storm damage restoration jobs in Dallas take three to seven days from initial call to final walkthrough. Water extraction and setup happen on day one, drying runs two to four days depending on saturation, and repairs take two or three more. Larger jobs with structural rebuilding can extend to two or three weeks, but you’ll have a written timeline before any work begins. Call (432) 529-4284 and we can give you a realistic window after assessing the damage.
A contained storm-related water event in Dallas typically runs $1,500 to $3,500. Moderate multi-room damage lands between $3,000 and $8,000. Whole-home storm flooding with reconstruction commonly falls in the $10,000 to $20,000 range. The price depends on square footage, how long the water sat, and what materials need replacing. We give a written, line-item price before any work starts, and that’s the price you pay unless you approve a change in writing.
Yes. We photograph and document every affected area, itemize what was removed, and communicate directly with your adjuster throughout the process. You shouldn’t have to explain restoration terminology to an insurance desk adjuster; we do that translation for you. The documentation we provide is designed to match what Dallas-area insurance claims require. You pay your deductible and we’ll coordinate the rest.
Storm damage calls are our highest priority dispatch. We answer the phone 24/7 with a live person, and our technicians are dispatched the moment the call ends. Most Dallas addresses see a technician within 45 to 90 minutes, and we send you the technician’s name and photo before they arrive. If it’s 2 a.m. and the ceiling just gave way, we’re already on the road.
It’s our standing guarantee: if the repair is not right within a full year, Marsh makes it right, and a free second visit is included automatically. It’s printed on every work order with dates, so there’s no phone call to argue over whether you’re still covered. The promise applies to the repair work we performed, not to new damage from a subsequent storm. We’ve been doing this since 2005, and we put the promise in writing because we intend to keep it.
If it’s safe to do so, shut off power to the affected area at the breaker. Move small personal items and valuables out of the wet zone if you can reach them without walking through standing water. Don’t enter rooms where the ceiling is sagging or water is near electrical outlets. Our technician handles everything else, including moving furniture that needs to be relocated for drying, so don’t risk an injury trying to save a couch.
