Water, Storm and Fire Damage Restoration in Houma, LA
When damage puts your Houma home or business out of use, we help with cleanup and the next steps toward recovery. Disaster Cleanup Pros handles water removal, drying, sewage cleanup and smoke-damage recovery. Call (888) 990-0530 to describe the problem and discuss a local assessment.
Let us know immediately about active leaks, sewage, electrical hazards or unsafe access. Keep out of standing water near electrical equipment and wait for clearance before entering a fire-damaged building. Do not move contaminated belongings into unaffected rooms.
Storm Damage: Protect, Clean and Dry
Water entering through a damaged roof needs a different source repair from water coming across a doorway or backing up through a drain. We start by assessing how it entered and which rooms and materials it reached. That helps us plan removal, cleaning and drying around the actual loss.
If the building has an opening, temporary protection may be needed before permanent repairs. A roofer or other specialist may also be required to correct the source. We’ll explain which work belongs in the cleanup plan and which repairs need separate coordination.
Water that entered from outdoors can carry contamination. Keep away from floodwater and tell us about mud, debris or a drain backup. We assess wet contents and building materials before deciding what can be cleaned and what needs removal.
Water Removal After Plumbing and Appliance Leaks
A leaking water line can soak floors, cabinets and wall cavities before you find it. We extract standing water and check beyond the visibly wet area. Moisture readings help us identify materials that still need drying, including adjoining spaces and areas below the leak.
Air movers and dehumidifiers help remove remaining moisture. We monitor the affected materials and explain the findings as the work progresses. Replacing a floor or closing a wall too early can leave the underlying loss unresolved, so drying checks come before repairs.
Sewage Removal and Cleaning
Sewage backup cleanup involves contamination as well as moisture. Our team assesses the affected area, removes contaminated water and identifies which materials can be cleaned. Carpet padding, insulation and other absorbent materials may need removal.
Keep people and pets out of the space, avoid tracking water to other rooms and do not run household fans over sewage. We’ll discuss access restrictions and any plumbing repair needed to stop the backup. Cleaning and drying must address the whole affected area.
Recovery After Fire and Smoke Damage
Fire damage can leave soot on surfaces, smoke odors in contents and water beneath floors. Once the building is cleared for entry, we assess those problems together. Rooms away from the fire may also need attention, even when they show little visible damage.
We’ll explain the approach to contents cleaning, odor treatment and damaged materials. Avoid wiping soot or discarding affected belongings before the assessment unless there is an immediate safety reason. Photos and records of the damage help document what was lost and what work is needed.

Questions About Cleanup and Recovery
What should I do if water is still entering?
Tell us about the active source when you call. Stay out of unsafe areas and use a plumbing shutoff only if you can reach it safely.
How do you check for hidden water damage?
We inspect affected and adjoining spaces and use moisture readings to locate wet materials. We’ll explain what needs drying or removal.
Is cleanup enough if the roof is still damaged?
The source also needs attention. We’ll explain the cleanup work and whether a roofer or another specialist needs to coordinate repairs.
Should smoke damage in other rooms be assessed?
Yes. Smoke and firefighting water can reach rooms away from the fire. We assess the affected areas once the building is cleared for entry.
Will you explain the work before it starts?
We’ll discuss the proposed scope, materials needing attention and how cleanup and repairs fit together. Ask us about drying checks and insurance documentation.
