Damage Restoration Houston, TX | UTXE Asbestos Removal and Testing

Window leaks are often caused by aging seals, improper installation, or damage from Houston’s frequent heavy rains and high humidity. When water intrudes, it can soak into wall insulation, drywall, or caulking. In homes built before the 1980s, these materials may contain asbestos. If you suspect a leak, it’s important to have the area inspected before any demolition or repair work to avoid releasing asbestos fibers into your home.

Signs include visible water stains on ceilings or walls, musty odors, peeling paint, or warped flooring. After a monsoon storm, check your attic and garage for roof leak damage or water pooling. If you notice any of these signs, call a restoration expert immediately. Prompt drying and repair can prevent mold growth and reduce the risk of disturbing asbestos in older building materials. UTXE can assess the damage and handle any necessary asbestos testing before restoration begins.

Garage water intrusion is common in Houston due to flooding, heavy rain, or poor drainage. When we respond, we first identify the source—like a leaky door seal or foundation crack. We then extract standing water, dry the area thoroughly, and repair damaged drywall or flooring. If the garage was built with asbestos-containing materials (common in older homes), we test and safely remove any affected materials before restoration. Our goal is to return your garage to a safe, dry condition quickly.
