What does water damage restoration cost in Arlington, TN?
Most water damage restoration jobs here run $1,000 to $15,000, and large or contaminated losses can go higher. The drivers are the water category, the square footage that got wet, the material class and how fast drying started.
Contained clean-water loss
- One room, hall or laundry
- Extraction and in-place drying
- Three to five days of equipment
Several rooms or a ceiling and floor
- Flood cuts and pad removal
- Several LGR dehumidifiers
- Daily readings for the claim
Sewage, flood or crawl space water
- Category 2 or 3 protocol
- Porous materials removed
- Containment and full drying
These are typical ranges, not a quote. For a planning number based on your rooms and water type, use the water damage cost calculator, or check drying days with the drying time estimator.
Water damage dried to the IICRC S500 standard
IICRC S500 is the industry drying standard. The drying team dries framing, subfloor and slab, not just the surface, and the class of loss, 1 through 4, sets how much equipment each room needs.
- IICRC S500 drying standard
- Truck-mounted extraction
- Readings logged every day
- Structural drying, not surface drying
Documentation for your insurance claim
A water claim is decided on the file. A complete file usually carries:
- The moisture map from the first walkthrough
- Daily psychrometric and moisture logs
- Timestamped photos taken before any demolition
- The category and class of the loss and a line-item scope
A sudden and accidental pipe burst is treated differently from rising flood water, which falls under flood coverage. Coverage depends on your policy, so it is worth checking with your own insurer.
All water damage categories covered in Arlington, TN
Category 1, clean water
Supply pipes, freeze breaks and water heaters. Often dried in place when extraction starts quickly.
Category 2, gray water
Washer and dishwasher drains, AC condensate and toilet overflows without waste. Soaked pad and wicked drywall usually come out.
Category 3, black water
Sewage backups and river or flash flood water. Porous materials it touched are removed, not dried.

Water damage in Arlington, TN: the Loosahatchie, the freeze and the subdivisions
The town grew from about 2,600 residents in 2000 to more than 14,500 by 2020, so most homes are newer subdivision builds, on the slab and crawl-space foundations common across the Memphis area. The Loosahatchie River runs along the north side of town, and a few failures cause most losses here.
December 24 and 25: more than 9 inches of rain fell in 12 hours over northern Shelby County, and the Loosahatchie near town ran at about its 50-year flood flow.
January: about seven inches of snow and a week of hard freeze across the Memphis area split pipes in attics, walls and crawl spaces.
- Heavy rain pushes the channelized Loosahatchie up, and low ground north of the railroad tracks takes water first.
- Hard freezes split plastic and copper supply pipe in attics, exterior walls and vented crawl spaces.
- Garage water heaters and attic air handlers leak into drywall and ceilings, often for hours before anyone notices.
- Slab floors hide pressure leaks under tile and carpet until the floor feels warm or damp.
Water damage questions from Shelby County homeowners
How fast does someone respond to water damage?
Dispatch runs 24/7, and the response team treats active water as urgent at any hour. While help is on the way, shut off the water, stay clear of outlets and photograph the damage.
What should I do first while water is still spreading?
Close the main shutoff if it is safe, switch off power to wet rooms at a dry breaker panel, stay out of standing water near outlets, photograph everything before moving it, lift rugs and small furniture, then call. Drying that starts early saves more drywall, trim and flooring.
Is water damage covered by homeowners insurance in Tennessee?
Sudden and accidental water, such as a burst supply pipe, is commonly covered after the deductible. Slow leaks and wear often are not, and rising flood water usually needs a separate flood policy. Coverage depends on your policy, so it is worth checking with your own insurer.
What causes most water damage in this area?
Freeze breaks in attics, exterior walls and crawl spaces, garage water heaters and attic AC units that leak into ceilings, slab leaks, appliance hoses, sewage backups and storm water on low ground near the Loosahatchie.
How long does it take to dry a water damaged house?
A contained Class 1 or 2 loss usually dries in three to five days with air movers and LGR dehumidifiers. Hardwood, slabs, ceilings and crawl spaces take longer. The equipment stays until readings say dry, not until the room looks dry.
What is the IICRC S500 standard?
IICRC S500 is the industry standard for professional water damage restoration. It covers how the category and class of water are set, how water is extracted, how drying is run and how the structure is verified dry.
When does drywall have to come out?
When readings show it wicked water and cannot be dried in place, or when it touched Category 3 water such as sewage or flood water. Clean-water drywall caught early can often be dried through small access holes instead.
Why is a sewage backup handled differently?
Sewage is Category 3 the moment it happens. The crew contains the area, removes porous materials it touched instead of drying them, and treats surfaces with an EPA-registered antimicrobial before drying starts.
What is the difference between mitigation and repair?
Mitigation stops the damage: extraction, removal of what cannot be saved and structural drying. Repair, or reconstruction, replaces drywall, flooring and trim, and it starts only after the structure is dry.
How is the cost of a water damage job figured?
By the water category, the square footage that got wet, the material class and how many days of equipment the drying takes. The water damage cost calculator gives a planning range.
