Garland dry-outs held to the IICRC S500 standard
IICRC S500 is the trade's written standard for water damage. It sorts each loss by category and class, sets how much drying equipment a room needs and spells out when a material counts as dry. The drying team follows it start to finish.

- Day 1, extractTruck-mounted units clear standing water, and soaked pad and baseboards come out wherever the meters say they must.

- Days 2 to 4, readThe drying team records material readings and psychrometric data each day and moves equipment as rooms dry.

Why Garland homes get wet
Duck Creek runs through Garland and Lake Ray Hubbard lies on its eastern border. Two recent storms show the risks.
Duck Creek flooded Garland homes. Some residents had about 20 minutes to get out, and one home had raw sewage back up inside.
Straight-line winds of 65 to 80 mph hit most of Garland, the National Weather Service found, opening roofs to the rain.
- Creeks: FEMA maps about 4,200 acres of 100-year floodplain, mostly along Duck Creek, Rowlett Creek and Spring Creek.
- Soil: North Texas clay swells when wet and shrinks when dry, a regional strain on slabs and their pipes.
- Freeze: Winter Storm Uri in February 2021 left frozen and burst pipes across Texas.
- Sewer: Garland Water Utilities maintains the city sewer lines; plumbing inside the house is the owner's job.
- Growth: Garland went from about 38,500 people in 1960 to about 138,850 by 1980.
Water damage questions in Garland, TX
What should I do first when water shows up in my Garland home?
Close the main or the valve at the fixture, cut power to the wet rooms if the panel is dry, stay away from outlets near water, photograph everything, then call.
How quickly does a crew respond in Garland?
Dispatch runs around the clock, and water that is still moving gets urgent handling at any hour, weekends and holidays too. Exact timing depends on the day and on how busy crews are after a storm.
How long does drying usually take?
Most small, contained losses dry in roughly three to five days. Concrete, hardwood and soaked ceilings need more time, and the meter readings, not a calendar, decide when the equipment leaves.
What does IICRC S500 mean?
It is the restoration trade's water damage standard. It sets out water categories and classes, how much drying equipment fits a loss and the finish line: readings close to a dry reference.
Is creek flood water handled differently in Garland?
Yes. Water from Duck Creek, Rowlett Creek or the street is Category 3, so the porous materials it touches are removed, not dried, and surfaces are treated.
Mitigation or repair: which comes first?
Mitigation comes first: getting water out, removing ruined materials and drying. Repair follows with drywall, paint, flooring and trim, once everything reads dry.
When does drywall have to come out?
Clean-water drywall can often dry where it is. Drywall touched by creek or sewage water, or left wet for days, is cut out above the wet mark so the wall cavity can dry.
Why is a sewage backup treated so carefully?
Sewage carries bacteria and viruses from the first minute, so it is always Category 3. The area is sealed off, porous materials are bagged out and surfaces get an EPA-registered antimicrobial.
Does homeowners insurance cover sewage backup in Garland?
In 2015 reporting, a sewage backup in Garland needed a special rider on a homeowner policy. Check with your own insurer about what your policy covers.
How is the price worked out?
It starts with the water category and how many square feet got wet, then the material class and how soon drying began. The walkthrough and moisture map turn a range into an actual scope.
Water still on the floor?
If you safely can, close the main and grab a few photos, then call dispatch so water removal can begin.
