Southlake Water Damage Pros dispatches licensed and insured restoration professionals from Southlake, TX to Grapevine homes and businesses, and the emergency line at (817) 623-9267 is open around the clock.
Grapevine is a lake town, so big water is the first thing many people think about. This page starts there, with what the lake system does and does not protect, and then moves to the ordinary plumbing and roof failures that actually wet your rooms.
Grapevine Lake and what flood control does not cover
Grapevine Lake is a federal reservoir run by the US Army Corps of Engineers. Construction began in January 1948 and finished in June 1952, and the lake was authorized for flood control and navigation. It spans Denton County and Tarrant County and belongs to a coordinated floodway system along the Trinity River.
High water has still reached the lake's edges. In June 2015 flooding closed lake parks and boat ramps and put roads to sports fields under water, and Tarrant County received a disaster declaration on June 3, 2015. Reporting at the time said the damage fell mostly on public property and homes were largely spared. A less severe flood in 2007 took about 100 days to recede, according to a local news report.
The practical point for a homeowner is narrow. A reservoir manages river flow, and it does nothing about a split supply line inside your wall. Home policies do not cover floods, so rising surface water needs a separate flood policy, and you can check the FEMA Flood Map Service Center for your address before you ever need it.
What water damage looks like inside Grapevine homes
Most calls start small and quiet. A stain spreads on a ceiling because an upstairs toilet seal let go. Hardwood begins to cup because an AC condensate line backed up, or a washer supply valve fails while nobody is home.
- Ceiling stain below a bathroom: water is often still moving through the cavity, so it needs to be opened and dried before the drywall sags.
- Cupped or buckled hardwood: moisture meters map how far the wet reaches under the boards.
- Washer or sink supply failure: expect water inside the bottom of walls and under cabinets, not just on the floor.
- Roof leak into the attic: wet insulation holds water against the ceiling below it.
Thermal imaging cameras help find wet areas behind finished surfaces, and moisture meters confirm what the camera suggests. Drying then runs on air movers and LGR dehumidifiers until the readings come back to normal.
When water is spreading in Grapevine
Water moving across a floor is an emergency, and our dispatch line is staffed 24/7 at (817) 623-9267. While you wait, close the source if you can reach it, shut off the main water valve, and lift rugs, laptops and papers off wet surfaces. If you smell gas or see water around live outlets or the breaker panel, leave and call the utility or 911 before you call us.
We say same-day response when available, and we never promise an arrival time, because dispatch depends on what is open at that moment. What we can promise is that you will talk to a person who asks the right questions about what is wet.
If water is still spreading, start here
Close the nearest shutoff
A toilet stop or washer valve closes in seconds. If you cannot find the right one, close the main water valve for the whole house.
Cut power only if it is dry
Switch off breakers for wet rooms only if you can reach the panel without stepping in water. Otherwise stay back and call the utility.
Lift the valuables
Get electronics, documents, photos and shoes onto counters and beds. Pull rugs off wet hardwood so the finish does not stain.
Stay out of dirty water
Water from a toilet, drain or outdoors can carry contamination. Keep children and pets out of it.
Photograph before you clean
Take photos or video of each wet room and keep damaged items for the adjuster. Texas Department of Insurance guidance asks for this.
Call the 24/7 line
Phone (817) 623-9267 and describe the source, the rooms and the floor types. That tells us which equipment to plan for.
Who to call for what in Grapevine
The City of Grapevine Water and Wastewater Division is at 501 Shady Brook Dr., Grapevine, TX 76051, and its operations line is (817) 410-3330. After hours, emergencies are routed through Police Dispatch at (817) 410-8127. The city page does not name the water supplier, so ask your water utility who serves your address.
Use those numbers when the trouble is on the street side, such as water bubbling up near your meter. Once the leak is inside your walls or floors it becomes a restoration job, and water mitigation is where our crews begin because drying must start early.
Main Street, Gaylord Texan and Grapevine Mills: commercial losses
Businesses in the Main Street historic district, around the Gaylord Texan resort and at Grapevine Mills face the same water losses as homes, plus a landlord to notify. A tenant should tell the property manager first, photograph the damage, and then call us so drying can start while access is arranged.
When you give directions, name the street address and one recognizable place, such as the Grapevine Main Street station or DFW Airport. The dispatcher can then send the crew to the right side of town without guessing.
Grapevine ZIP codes and the Southlake overlap
Our service ZIP for Grapevine is 76051, and the town sits in Tarrant County. The Southlake ZIP, 76092, is one that USPS also lists Grapevine for, so a mailing address that says Grapevine with 76092 is inside our home territory. 76099 is a PO box ZIP, not a street address, so we do not list it.
Top three services for Grapevine, ordered by need
These are the three services we would expect Grapevine callers to need, in this order, starting with the most common plumbing and roof failures.
| Service | Typical Grapevine trigger | What the crew does first |
|---|---|---|
| Water mitigation | Supply line failure, ceiling leak or roof leak | Stops the spread, extracts standing water, sets air movers and LGR dehumidifiers |
| Flood damage restoration | Surface water entering a garage, slab or lower level | Removes saturated materials, cleans, treats and dries the structure |
| Mold remediation | Drywall or carpet left damp past the first day | Sets containment barriers and HEPA air scrubbers under a licensed protocol |
Mold can start growing within a day after a leak, according to the Texas Department of Insurance, which is why mold remediation sits on this list. For a flooded lower level, flood damage restoration covers the contaminated-water work. Ask any company whether its crews work to ANSI/IICRC S500.
Nearby towns we also dispatch to
Crews working Grapevine also take calls in Colleyville and Keller, so a job that sits near a town line is not a problem. If you need help getting a burst line under control quickly, emergency water removal is the page to read next.

Read about emergency water removal to see how extraction and drying begin.
We list 76051 as the Grapevine service ZIP. That is the ZIP on the city's Water and Wastewater Division address at Shady Brook Dr., so a Grapevine street address with 76051 is covered.
USPS also lists Grapevine as an alias for 76092, the Southlake ZIP, and we serve that too. 76099 is a PO box ZIP, so there is no street address to send a crew to.
Home policies do not cover floods, so surface water from a rising lake or storm needs a separate flood policy. Sudden and accidental damage such as a burst pipe is often covered, and gradual leaks often are not.
Ask your insurer what your policy says, and never assume approval before the adjuster has looked at it.
Call the City of Grapevine Water and Wastewater Division at (817) 410-3330. After hours, emergencies are routed through Police Dispatch at (817) 410-8127.
When the water has reached your floors or walls, call us for the restoration side.
No. We do not rent equipment. Drying works because moisture meters guide where the machines go and when they come out, and that takes a trained crew.
No. Restoration removes water and dries a damaged structure. It does not make a basement or slab waterproof, and a different contractor handles that.
