Water Damage
Plumbing Repair
Austin TX
Fix the source. Restore the damage. One call does it all.
Most restoration companies don't fix the pipe. Most plumbers don't restore the damage. We coordinate both under one call — so you're not managing two contractors in a crisis.
What We Do
Our Process
Most water damage originates with a plumbing failure — but standard restoration companies don't fix pipes, and standard plumbers don't restore water damage. That gap leaves homeowners managing two separate contractors, two separate timelines, and two separate insurance documentation processes during an already stressful event. AAA Disaster Recovery coordinates emergency plumbing repair alongside water damage restoration as a single integrated response. We stop the source, extract the water, dry the structure, and rebuild what the failure damaged — under a unified scope, a single project manager, and one combined insurance claim.
Emergency Dispatch
We respond 24/7. A technician is on-site within 60 minutes to assess both the plumbing failure and the resulting water damage, and begin emergency mitigation immediately.
Source Identification
We locate the failed pipe, fitting, or fixture using pressure testing and thermal imaging to confirm the exact failure point — including failures inside walls, beneath slabs, and within ceilings.
Water Shutoff & Containment
The affected water supply line is isolated to stop ongoing damage while plumbing repair is staged and extraction begins simultaneously — not sequentially.
Plumbing Repair
Burst pipes, failed joints, broken fixtures, leaking supply lines, and corroded fittings are repaired or replaced to restore proper function and prevent recurrence.
Water Extraction & Moisture Mapping
All standing water is extracted and thermal imaging confirms the full extent of water migration into structural materials before drying equipment is placed.
Structural Drying
Commercial dehumidifiers and air movers run continuously, with daily moisture readings tracking progress until all materials reach IICRC S500 drying standards.
Full Restoration
Damaged drywall, flooring, cabinetry, and finishes affected by the plumbing failure are restored to pre-loss condition with full documentation for your insurance claim.
FAQ
Common Questions
Can you fix the pipe and restore the damage in one visit?
Yes. We coordinate plumbing repair and water damage restoration as a single integrated response — one crew, one timeline, one project manager. You don't need to find a separate plumber, wait for availability, and then call us afterward. Everything happens simultaneously, which limits total damage time and simplifies your insurance claim.
What if I don't know where the leak is coming from?
We use a combination of pressure testing, moisture mapping, and thermal imaging to locate leaks inside walls, beneath slabs, and within ceiling assemblies — even when the source isn't visible and the affected area shows no obvious access point. Slab leaks and in-wall failures are diagnosed without unnecessary destructive opening of surfaces.
Do you handle slab leaks?
Yes. Slab leaks are a common issue in Austin's older homes, particularly those built with copper supply lines that have been affected by Austin's mineral-rich water over decades. We detect the leak location through pressure testing and thermal analysis, coordinate the repair approach (spot repair, reroute, or full repipe depending on condition), and handle all resulting water damage to flooring, walls, and subfloor materials.
Will insurance cover emergency plumbing repair and water damage together?
Sudden plumbing failures are typically covered under standard homeowner policies as sudden and accidental damage. We document both the plumbing failure and the resulting water damage under a single Xactimate estimate, which simplifies the adjuster review process and ensures both components are included in your covered loss — rather than risk having one portion disputed because it was submitted separately.
Is there a difference between a plumber and a restoration company?
Yes, and it matters. A licensed plumber repairs the mechanical failure — pipe, fitting, valve, fixture. A restoration company handles the water damage consequence — extraction, drying, mold prevention, and reconstruction. These are distinct licensed trades. We coordinate both, which eliminates the gap between when the plumber leaves and when the restoration company arrives — the window when ongoing moisture damage is most preventable.
