Commercial Water Damage →Three Kinds of Water, Three Different Jobs
The type of water decides almost everything about the cleanup.
- Clean water (supply lines, water heaters, ice-maker lines): most flooring, drywall, and cabinets, if dried quickly.
- Gray water (washing machines, dishwashers, tub and sink overflows): hard surfaces and some carpet. Pad is usually replaced.
- Black water (sewer backups, toilet overflows with waste, floodwater): hard surfaces after disinfection. Carpet, pad, and wet drywall are removed.
Clean water does not stay clean. Left for two or three days, it is handled as contaminated.
Sewage Cleanup in Van Alstyne, TX: Why Drains Back Up When It Rains
Van Alstyne's sewer system has struggled in heavy rain, and the city says so openly.
- In February 2026, a storm overwhelmed a lift station, and about 350,000 gallons of rain-diluted wastewater overflowed.
- In May 2025, about 385,000 gallons overflowed from three locations over 36 hours, after roughly an inch of rain.
- The city has spent more than $2 million over five years fighting inflow and infiltration, which is rainwater leaking into sewer pipes through cracks, joints, and manholes.
When the system is under that kind of pressure, wastewater has less room to move. In low-lying homes, a sewer backup can show up as water rising in a floor drain, shower, or ground-floor toilet.
What to do if a drain is backing up
- 1
Stop using water
No flushing, laundry, or dishwasher.
- 2
Keep everyone out
Keep children and pets out of the room.
- 3
Turn off the AC
Turn off the air conditioning if a return vent is near the spill.
- 4
Do not DIY
Do not use a household vacuum or bleach-and-mop approach.
- 5
Call
Call (469) 548-7594, and report the backup to the city if it happened during a storm.
How sewage cleanup is done
The area is contained. Contaminated water is extracted. Carpet, pad, and wet drywall are removed and bagged. Hard surfaces are cleaned and disinfected, and the structure is dried to verified readings.
Reducing the risk
Ask a licensed plumber about a backwater valve on your sewer line, which lets wastewater flow out but not back in. Know where your sewer cleanout is, and check whether your policy includes a sewer backup endorsement.
East of 75 and West of 75
US Highway 75 splits Van Alstyne into two very different housing markets.
East: historic downtown and older homes
The town grew up around the railroad in the 1870s, and downtown still has storefronts and houses from many eras. Older buildings have galvanized supply lines, cast-iron drains, plaster walls, and original wood floors. Historic building water damage calls for careful drying in place wherever possible and removal only where it is needed.
West: Mantua, Thompson Farms, and new construction
Nearly all the new growth is west of the highway, in communities such as Mantua, Mantua Point, and Thompson Farms, along with Sanford Park, Chapel Creek, and Lincoln Pointe elsewhere in town. The city expects more than 30,000 residents by 2030. A new construction leak usually starts at a connection: an appliance hose, a toilet supply line, or a fitting that was never fully tightened.
Storms Along the US-75 Corridor
Spring storms in Grayson County bring hail, straight-line wind, and heavy rain in short bursts. Roof leaks often show up far from where the water got in, because water runs along decking and rafters before it reaches a ceiling. After a major storm, check the attic for wet insulation and stained decking.
A roofer secures the roof. We remove the water inside and dry the attic, ceilings, walls, and floors.
Emergency Water Damage in Van Alstyne, TX: What Complete Means
A complete job does not stop when the floor looks dry.
- Find it all. Moisture readings map the water in floors, walls, and ceilings.
- Remove it. Standing water is extracted from every affected surface.
- Take out what cannot be saved, based on the type of water.
- Clean and disinfect where gray or black water was involved.
- Dry the structure. Structural drying runs with daily readings until materials test dry.
- Document it. Photos, moisture logs, and a written scope go to you for your insurer.
One clean-water room often takes three to five days. Sewage and storm losses take longer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Rainwater leaks into the city's sewer pipes during storms and can overload the system. When that happens, wastewater has less room to flow, and low-lying drains may back up.
Stop using all water, keep everyone out of the area, and call (469) 548-7594. Sewage is hazardous and needs containment, removal of soaked materials, disinfection, and drying.
Usually only if your policy has a sewer backup endorsement. It is an add-on, not standard coverage. Check your policy before you need it.
It is a one-way valve on your sewer line that lets wastewater leave the house but blocks it from flowing back in. A licensed plumber can tell you whether your home can have one.
The line is answered 24 hours a day at (469) 548-7594, and a crew is dispatched immediately.
A clean-water leak in one room usually takes three to five days to dry after extraction. Sewage and storm losses take longer because more material is removed.
Often, if drying starts early and is controlled. The longer water sits, the lower the odds, so keep foot traffic off the wet floor and call quickly.
Thousands of connections go in quickly during construction, and the weak ones tend to show up in the first few years. Know where your main shutoff is.
Yes. Shops, offices, and mixed-use buildings are handled with attention to older plumbing, shared walls, and business hours.
