Restoration help in Texas
Cross Timber Restoration connects homeowners across the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex with independent restoration companies for water, fire, mold and biohazard cleanup. Coverage follows the ZIP codes those companies actually serve.
What shapes damage in North Texas
Most DFW homes sit on concrete slabs over expansive clay. The Blackland Prairie soils east of I-35 swell when wet and shrink in drought, which stresses slabs and the plumbing running under them. West of Fort Worth, sandier Cross Timbers soils drain faster.
Freezes are rare but damaging. Plumbing in attics, garages and exterior walls is often uninsulated, and the February 2021 winter storm burst pipes across the region. Spring storms bring hail, wind and flash flooding along creeks that feed the Trinity River.
Texas regulates mold work through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR). For mold projects of 25 contiguous square feet or more, a licensed assessor writes the protocol and a different licensed remediation company performs the work.
Water comes from city utilities: Dallas Water Utilities, Fort Worth Water, and cities in Collin County buying treated water from the North Texas Municipal Water District. Building permits for rebuild work are issued by each city's building inspection department.
