Water Damage Restoration in Kennedale, Texas
Village Creek has flooded Kennedale at least 20 times since 1916 — the Army Corps of Engineers counts 133 buildings sitting below the 100-year flood elevation. When water gets in here, you need a crew that knows the town.
Village Creek Doesn't Forgive — Kennedale's Chronic Flood Problem
Kennedale's relationship with water is documented like almost no other small city in Texas. The Army Corps of Engineers studied Village Creek here and found chronic flash flooding with at least 20 major events between 1916 and 2010 — the May 1989 storm alone dropped 12 inches on the watershed, closed Kennedale Parkway, and forced the evacuation of three mobile home parks. Their estimate: $564,000 in flood damage every single year, with 133 buildings whose floors sit below the 100-year flood elevation.
If your home is anywhere near the Village Creek corridor — Oak Crest, Shady Creek, the low streets off Kennedale Sublett Road — flood insurance and a fast dry-out plan aren't optional. And away from the creek, Kennedale's slab-on-grade homes on Tarrant County clay carry the usual load: slab leaks, hard freezes, and spring storms. We can be there in about 15 minutes, and the estimate is free.

Kennedale Water Damage Questions
My Kennedale home is near Village Creek. What should I know?
Two things: get flood insurance if you don't have it — rising creek water isn't covered by standard homeowners — and know that after any flood, professional drying within 24 to 48 hours is what prevents the mold claim on top of the flood claim.
My home flooded in a past storm. Could there still be hidden damage?
If the dry-out wasn't done professionally, yes. Floodwater wicks up inside wall cavities and under flooring, and surface-dry materials can hide moisture — and mold — for months. A moisture-meter inspection answers it, and it's free.
Do you charge extra to come to Kennedale?
No — Kennedale is inside our core service area, about 15 minutes out. Same free estimate and pricing as Arlington.
Does insurance cover creek flooding?
Rising water from Village Creek is flood insurance territory — a separate policy from homeowners. Wind-driven rain and burst pipes are usually the homeowners side. The pros document everything thoroughly either way.
