Remove standing water, dry affected materials, and limit additional damage with professional restoration support.
Compton’s helps Ellis County homeowners and businesses respond to plumbing leaks, appliance failures, overflows, roof intrusion, wet flooring, and other water-damage situations.
Call and explain where the water came from, when it started, whether the source has stopped, and which materials are affected. We will help you understand the next step.
Water can move beneath carpet, into padding, behind baseboards, inside wall cavities, under flooring, and through cabinets or ceilings. Removing what is visible is only part of the restoration process.
Compton’s evaluates the affected areas, extracts accessible water, uses professional drying equipment, monitors moisture, and explains which materials may be cleaned, dried, removed, or evaluated by another qualified trade.
Restoration cannot succeed while water continues entering the property. A plumber, roofer, appliance technician, utility, or emergency responder may need to stop or secure the source first.
Tell us what happened. Different water sources, materials, and safety conditions require different responses.
Supply-line failures, leaking pipes, water heaters, and plumbing connections can release water into floors, walls, and adjoining rooms.
Washing machines, dishwashers, tubs, toilets, sinks, and other fixtures can affect flooring, cabinets, baseboards, and nearby materials.
Roof damage, wind-driven rain, and stormwater can enter through ceilings, walls, windows, or other openings.
Water can move through carpet into padding and subflooring or become trapped beneath hard-surface flooring.
Moisture may remain inside cavities and porous materials even when the visible surface begins to look dry.
The recommended scope depends on the water source, time elapsed, affected materials, contamination concerns, safety conditions, and moisture readings.
We gather information, inspect accessible areas, identify immediate concerns, and establish the initial restoration priorities.
Professional extraction equipment removes accessible standing water from carpet, flooring, and other affected areas when appropriate.
Moisture meters and related tools help locate elevated moisture that may not be visible at the surface.
Air movers, dehumidification, and other drying methods are arranged around the materials, layout, and conditions of the property.
Affected materials are evaluated for cleaning, drying, removal, or referral based on their condition and the source of the water.
We record relevant conditions and progress, explain the work completed, and identify additional repairs or trades that may be needed.
Drying time varies. Water source, time elapsed, square footage, material type, humidity, temperature, hidden moisture, and access all influence the restoration plan.
Keep people and pets away from unsafe areas. Do not enter standing water when electrical equipment, outlets, cords, or circuits may be wet.
Stop the source only when it can be done safely. Contact the appropriate plumber, utility, roofer, appliance professional, or emergency responder when needed.
Accessible standing water is removed to reduce the amount that must evaporate from affected materials.
Drying equipment is positioned and moisture conditions are monitored so the plan can be adjusted as the property responds.
Final readings and visible conditions are reviewed, and the remaining repair, cleaning, or reconstruction needs are explained.
If circuits or electrical equipment are wet or near standing water, do not enter the water to reach the breaker. The CDC advises having a qualified electrician turn off the power when the main switch cannot be reached from a dry location. Call 911 for an active electrical emergency, fire, structural danger, or immediate threat to life.
The EPA advises drying water-damaged areas and materials within 24–48 hours when possible to help prevent mold growth. That window is a reason to act promptly, not a guarantee that every material can be saved.
Effective restoration combines source control, extraction, dehumidification, airflow, moisture monitoring, and an evaluation of materials that cannot be safely or successfully dried.

First, protect people and stop the source only if it is safe. Avoid standing water near electricity, sewage, structural damage, or other hazards. Then call Compton’s and explain what happened, when it began, and which areas are affected.
Only use electrical equipment when the electrical system and work area are confirmed safe. Small clean-water spills may be manageable, but widespread water, hidden moisture, contaminated water, or water near electricity should be evaluated professionally.
There is no universal drying time. The amount and source of water, affected materials, humidity, temperature, airflow, access, and moisture levels all affect the schedule. We monitor conditions and explain progress.
Coverage depends on the policy, cause of loss, exclusions, deductible, documentation, and the insurer’s decision. Compton’s can document restoration conditions and services but cannot guarantee coverage or payment.
Sometimes. The water source, contamination level, time elapsed, carpet and pad condition, subfloor moisture, and ability to dry the materials all affect whether cleaning and drying are appropriate.
No, but wet materials that remain damp can support mold growth. The EPA recommends drying affected areas and items within 24–48 hours when possible. Existing mold or contaminated water may require additional professional evaluation.
Tell us where the water came from, whether it has stopped, when the loss occurred, what rooms and materials are wet, and whether electricity, sewage, or structural damage may be involved.
