Burst pipes, roof leaks, storm water and flooding — contained fast, dried properly, and rebuilt back to where it was.
Water Damage · Richmond
Water damage compounds by the hour. What starts as a supply line under a sink moves into baseboards, subfloor and wall cavities within a day, and materials that could have been dried and saved on the first morning have to be cut out by the third. That is why the first call matters more than almost anything else in the process — the sooner extraction and drying begin, the smaller the eventual rebuild.
Most water damage companies stop at mitigation. They extract, they dry, they pull their equipment, and then you are on your own to find a contractor to put the house back together. Building Edge Construction is a construction company that also does restoration, so the crew that dries your structure is the crew that replaces the flooring, drywall, trim and cabinetry. One contract, one accountable team, no gap between the drying and the rebuild.
Richmond is one of the fastest-growing corners of Fort Bend County, and the housing stock shows it — older homes near the historic town center sitting alongside large master-planned neighborhoods like Pecan Grove, Long Meadow Farms, Aliana, Harvest Green and Grand River. With the Brazos River running through the area, heavy rain is a familiar part of life here, and we see water arrive from both directions: storm water pushing in from outside, and plumbing and appliance failures inside. Our restoration work draws on IICRC-certified experience in water, fire and structural mitigation, and owner John Baudry runs projects personally. We document moisture readings, materials and scope as we go, because thorough documentation is what keeps an insurance claim moving.

Common Questions
We respond around the clock and, for active water losses in Richmond, often same-day. The first priority is stopping the source and getting extraction started, because every hour water sits it travels further into flooring, drywall and framing.
Cost depends on how much water there was, how far it spread, how long it sat and what has to be removed and rebuilt. We assess the loss on site and put the scope in writing rather than quoting a number over the phone. On a covered claim, much of the work is typically handled through your policy and you would generally be responsible for your deductible.
Many sudden water losses — a burst supply line, a failed water heater, storm water from a roof breach — are commonly covered, while long-term seepage often is not. We document the damage thoroughly and work directly with your insurance company on covered losses. We are your contractor, not a public adjuster, so coverage decisions stay with your insurer.
Structural drying is driven by readings, not a calendar. We place drying equipment, monitor moisture levels daily and keep going until the materials read dry. Reconstruction starts after that, and the rebuild timeline depends on how much material had to come out.
Yes. That is the difference between us and a mitigation-only company. Building Edge Construction is a construction company, so the same team that extracts the water and dries the structure also replaces the flooring, drywall, trim, cabinetry and paint. One contract, one point of accountability, no handoff to a second contractor.
If it is safe, shut off the water at the source and cut power to affected areas at the breaker. Do not walk through standing water near outlets or fixtures. Move what you can lift to a dry area, and photograph everything before anything is moved or thrown out — those photos matter to your claim. If life safety is involved, call 911 first.
