Why SERVPRO? SERVPRO has a Six Step Process for Water Restoration.

When your home or business suffers a water damage event, simply cleaning up the water and opening the windows is not sufficient to completely dry the space. This leaves your home or business vulnerable to secondary damage or mold growth.  SERVPRO of Lake Travis / NW Austin has a 6 step process we use to restore your home or business and make it, “Like it never even happened.”

Step 1 - Emergency Contact:  You call, our representative will ask questions to determine the equipment and resources needed to assist you, and dispatch a team to your home promptly.

Step 2 - Inspection and Water Damage Assessment: We arrive quickly, do a visual inspection and tests to determine the scope of your water damage and how far moisture has travelled to ensure proper and complete restoration.

Step 3 - Water Removal / Water Extraction: Shortly after arrival, trained professionals begin water removal, using powerful industrial grade pumps and vacuums to quickly extract hundreds to thousands of gallons of water from the property. This assists with prevention of secondary water damage and mold growth.

Step 4 - Drying and Dehumidification: Our trained professionals use specialized equipment to remove the hard to access water remaining. They use room measurements, temperature and humidity to determine the optimal number of dehumidifiers and air movers needed to dry the home or business.

Step 5 - Cleaning and Sanitizing: All restorable items and structures affected by water damage are cleaned. Our trained professionals are well versed in  a number of techniques to clean and restore contents, and trained to provide sanitizing treatments and odor removal.

Step 6 - Restoration: Water restoration gets your home or business back to pre-water damage condition. This may involve minor repairs, such as replacing drywall and installing new carpet, or may entail major repairs, such as the reconstruction of various areas or rooms in a home or business.


When water damages your home or business call SERVPRO of Lake Travis / NW Austin. Our trained professionals respond quickly, are knowledgeable, use state of the art equipment and techniques, will treat you with respect, and we work with your insurance for a stress free process.
